Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Climate Change Debate

Trancecoach says...

Anyone in favor of the state is in favor of this because the state has and always will serve those with the money. And politicians will always look out for their best interests and those of their cronies.

All government "intervention" that you so strongly support means intervention on behalf of politicians and their cronies. It would not get done otherwise.

But again, good luck with all that. Your arguing with me about it hasn't and won't change anything an iota.

And, for your information/education: These: "And no, that doesn't require overthrowing the government and going to an all berries diet. Nor me writing a book about my efforts." are ALL straw man "arguments." I didn't say anything about overthrowing the government (which is not equated with anarchy). I didn't tell you to go on a berries diet to help the environment. Nor did I say that you needed to write a book in order to save the planet or whatever.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Climate Change Debate

shatterdrose says...

I grow my own plants, well, as many as I can in an apartment. I bike everywhere I can. I eat some meat, but it consists very little of my diet. I produce a grocery bag of trash a week and most of that is organic waste.

Oh, you mean I should stop living in a first world country and go back to the stone-age! I get it now. You mean, I should completely and utterly give up everything because it may cause some pollution? Very illogical of you. I believe that is another one of those fallacies people are chiding you for.

By acknowledging the climate change is man-made, we can make better strides to actually bring about meaningful changes. One person reducing their carbon footprint isn't going to make much of a difference, but 350,000,000 people will.

Or, if politicians like Marco Rubio, who I shutter to think belongs to my state, would stop denying climate change we could actually have a dialogue about actual changes we can make, not ad reductionist claims like some people here on the sift are making. (I.E., you.)

Um, as for the state getting out of the way . . . The reason we have any clean air is because of their standards. For instance, it took a government mandate to eliminate lead from gasoline. Lead, which is highly toxic and one of the leading causes of anti-social behavior in convicted felons of violent crimes. I'm sure the free-market would have solved that issue on it own, however, in a much shorter period of time. *Thinks about that for a while.*

So you want to move away from the AGW and just say the climate is changing?

Basic premise flaw: if we humans aren't creating it, then there's nothing we can do. I give you, case in point, climate change deniers. Such as our Marco Rubio. Humans aren't causing it, therefore, we shouldn't impose any regulations on oil and gas. (I believe they did something similar back in the leaded gasoline days. May what short memories we have.)

By the way, saying since California has environmentalists that having the worst air pollution thus makes environmentalism a mute point would be called Fallacy of Composition. Because, let's not forget basic math: California population is greater than oh, I think 49 other states and contains the counties largest ports (major source of air pollution), the majority of the countries cars, the majority of semi trucks and trains originate here, they house dozens of oil refineries and there's this little itty bitty nascent issue of these Rocky Mountain things people keep talking about. Or, this "valley" people make fun of. I hear it's right next to these mountains.

So, really, the logical argument would be, because of the increasingly dire air pollution in California, more and more people are become environmentally aware and are slowly changing their habits to reduce future smog, but without increasing government intervention, larger corporations will continue their practice so long as it returns a profit. So, as a result, the larger corporations are spending millions lobbying politicians who have been passing favorable laws much to the angst of the growing environmental movement.

And no, that doesn't require overthrowing the government and going to an all berries diet. Nor me writing a book about my efforts.

10 Funny & Silly Automobile Adverts

newtboy says...

My ego and other posters don't enter into it, it's about correcting BS information or calling out asshattery, which is nearly ALL you do. I've done it on my own uncountable times.
You don't 'care about the community as a whole here'...that's the biggest load of crap I've heard recently. You care about intentionally being an annoying little fucker, attacking others, and complaining that things aren't 100% the way you want them. That has always been your MO, I and others have your number. That, and 'fucking with other people's shit' in the most disrespectful manner you can come up with.You've admitted this numerous times, and you've admitted that much of what you write is simply 'devils advocacy' done to get a rise out of others, or just feed your own ego with your rants and the replies they garner. That's why no one takes you seriously (or at least no one should), you are simply trying to live up to your chosen name...and often succeeding. You ARE the smarmy talking dingle berry hanging off a cockroach buddy. This is public knowledge around here. It's also obvious from your handle, which means something like annoying little piece of shit or little fucking thing in one culture and big failure in others...appropriate...and your choice.
Again, no buddies. I'm calling you out on your constant intentionally inflammatory BS all on my own, with or without others. I'm glad to see it's getting under your skin. I'll keep going on the same angle, thanks for the feed back.
Coming from the local permanent troll, I'll take the last as a compliment. How's my ass looking?

If you'd pay attention to something besides your own ego and ganging-up with a few others in your recent cabal of haters bent on fucking with my shit here on the site, you'd realize that I really could give a fiddler's FUCK about votes anyhow-

I care more about the community as a whole here, OH, and bringing more users to the site by stamping-out smarmy-commenting dingle berries like cockroaches.

...always has been my MO young salamander

Votes are for others' enjoyment, hence my desire to destroy the status of poisonous users by finding all their dead videos and declaring them so, in order to reduce their vote-counts and status, and give them something to fix instead of spouting bile-

Yeah so, considering your recent comments on my posts along with yer buddies, perhaps try another angle??



Or you could simply lurk and troll my offerings some more and keep showin' that ass?

Uhhh, I wasn't talking about a vote-garnering attempt by my self on this site-I watched the video on you tube because it popped-up in related vids, saw some really funny automobile adverts that WERE NOT made in America and low-and-behold, the prevailing theme in Europe is sex + cars = sell, and thought them clever-I never really even considered the thumbnail as a means to get votes here on Videosift.

How about get creative with video submissions or help some other users out with yer points child??

Considering your recent posts, I'm surprised you didn't post it with the girls getting it on fully naked. You had no problem making your titles completely NSFW, why should your thumbnails be any more considerate or accurate?
That said, it worked.

Bill Nye Pwns Astrology in 1/one minute!

ChaosEngine jokingly says...

Yes, because everyone born in the same month has the same tendencies and temperaments.

I was born in august, so I'm exactly the same as Barack Obama, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Tim Tebow, Ingrid Bergman, Halle Berry, Tony Bennett, Jack Black, Coco Chanel, and Andy Warhol.

Trancecoach said:

Too bad astrology has very little to do with constellations and more to do with tendencies and temperaments. This is why astrology is more of an oracular art than a science.

David Blaine Freaks Out Ricky Gervais

poolcleaner says...

There used to be a magician at Knott's Berry Farm that demonstrated this trick pretty close to the audience and then explained that he had trained for years to create the pathway through his body for the sword to pass through.

The arm is particularly easy because of how the muscles are arranged around the bone. It passes right below the biceps. Not much going on in this particular, dare I say "easy" to pull off location of bloodless stabbiness.
I don't know if the Knott's magician is still there or not, but it was a "magic" show that explained the science behind older, more simplistic tricks like this.

Also included were lots of different types of electricity stunts (static electricity, powering light bulbs through people, etc.), which have fallen to the wayside with magicians because most people nowadays understand electricity and it's not as gut wrenching as this scar tissue build up dealio.

I upvoted for Ricky's reactions and David'd ridiculous goading, but the trick itself is le sigh.

The magician at Knott's had a fairly visible scar on both sides of his arm, as he likely performed the trick A LOT. Serious needle mark action. lol. Blaine probably rarely performs this trick and perhaps used other material, like make up, latex or some such material, glue, creams, etc.
