I have been rigorously studying this video for the past 8 weeks and my findings are as such:

"This mad stupid* yo."

IN CONCLUSION! This guy's a slime douche to the max and this video, while seemingly appearing accurate enough to some on the grounds of the basest, most low hanging fruit-esque generalizing sweep of cliched male-female interactions one might come across in various U.S. coastal cities, this run-on sentence is actually a quicksand trap of words and why are you still reading it? Care to guess how many Artax's I've caught and consumed with a sentence like the one above?

Just one. Artax, baby jesus de christo rest his equine spirit, was a one of a kind! One of a kind.

How does garbagio like this make it to top 5? I mean, come on!


*Stupid bad, not stupid cool.

Pretty horribly designed harbor, looks like there are no, hell, what are they called in english, they are "wavebreakers" in finnish...(too tired too google)..I'm living in a coastal town too, that just look stupid.

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.

So what of it @shinyblurry? What does god's perfect, unchanging, gold standard of a moral law have to say about slaughtering toddlers?

Is it written on our hearts that it always is a bad thing, or are there certain allowances made for when those evil little tykes become some sort of threat to God's sovereignty over a patch of Mediterranean coastal real estate?

The tension between steward and subdue...

Well, let's put it this way, in 50 years time when the sea comes and subdues most of the coastal land, when we run out of oil and our air is choked and toxic, when we face the real possibility of eating bugs instead of beef (insects have a much higher protein ratio for investment then cattle do) or pan-global starvation, you might want to think about which of the two is more important if you can pull your head out of your self righteous ass...

The bible talks about the sins of the father, well the lack of environmental concern these days is a sin and it will be visited upon our children.

lol fuck the farm I'd be off to deep countryside and find a good lake or river where its unlikely desperate people would find me and I can live of wild life and general plant life. The sea is another option so much easy to find food on the coast line. Probably be the case in this scanroe that small coastal communities would be the strongest as they would already have the community , food and resources to sustain themselves with virtually no change.



this documentary is really cool as well !

Nice. I have driven up and down different parts of 1-5, from LA to Vancouver, but never such a long trip in one go. Taking the coast is a slow slog. A cool route would be taking 101 north from SF to see the redwood and the coast, and then scooting back to 1-5 via 199 and Grants Pass.

Aside from the terrain, the night sky is stunning in the more isolated parts of 1-5. Driving around the Cali/Oregon boarder in summer months and seeing the milky way from a convertible is breathtaking.

Also, there's the State of Jefferson, which is cool.>> ^Yogi:

>> ^longde:
Take I-5 from SF to Portland. Some amazing scenery on that trip, especially it you're willing to go off track a little; and good beer at the end.

I've traveled from LA to Seattle by car 6 times in the last 6 months because moving to Seattle and visiting friends and such. Besides getting my time down to 17 hours for the trip I've seen some great stuff and I've never regretted driving even though I take the boring route. I want to do a Coastal Road journey next time...I think it'll be a lot of fun.

heh heh... sweet

not as dangerous as it looks though...
i was doing similar from the age of seven

check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrCrAwn4Aks

it's a popular summer surfspot on the south shore of the hawaiian island of oahu called china walls - my house is visible for a few seconds in this vid as it pans quickly to the left - i swam in waves like that almost every day of my life

on a side note, that lava shelf is where they filmed some of the coastal scenes in the lost series

The point about global warming is that all the available evidence shows that:
1. It is happening
2. It is man-made.

Why is that a problem? well, because we dont know what the consequences could be, we dont know how to stop the rising temperature or if theres a limit or if or when we can reverse the trend.

All of the above could happen, or it might not, some of it may not be due to GW and some of it may be. The fact is that we are messing with earths ecosystem, which is the very reason we are here in the first place. We grew up and evolved as a species on this planet, under these conditions, how will a rapid(geologically rapid 100-200 years) change in climate affect us as a species? how will it affect millions of other species? How will it affect weather? viruses? diseases? deserts? forests?

We don't know

Thats the point. some of the above are possible consequences of global warming*.

*or some denialist pulled it out of their ass and put it on the web so that other denialists could impress us all with their extensive lists.

Well if we're up for splitting the distance Long, Seal, or Huntington Beach is about the mid-way point between the hearts of LA and OC (coastal at least). Sadly I no longer hang in any of those cities anymore so I have no suggestions for places (unless I start using Yelp )

Boy, this video brought back some really nice memories for me. I spent a year living in West Papua (the other half of the island that belongs to Indonesia). Although the people I worked and lived with were not seeing white people for the first time, it was still one helluva a culture difference.

>> ^KnivesOut:

This video gave me chills. The first contact, with the armed warriors approaching the camera-wielding white ghosts.... That could have gone really poorly. What brave people, on both sides.


Never once did I worry about anything like that. While it is true that there is near constant tribal fighting on the island, I would contend that the larger society is extremely peaceful. Always welcoming and trustful with huge smiles and even bigger feasts for anyone that came to their villages.

Basically, violence there comes in downward spirals that start with directed aggression. That mostly has to do with the fact that they believe wholeheartedly in equality. If one tribe raids a village and kills someone, then retribution must be made and one person form the attacking tribe must be killed. Of course, the raid that seeks retribution ends up killing two people, so then the attacks start again. This goes on and on until the numbers are equal on each side, which can take a while. However, if you come in peace, there is nothing to worry about.

As pointed out in Guns, Germs, and Steel, they are also an extremely democratic society. There is no chief, only a 'big man' whose job it is to facilitate discussions and carry out the final decisions. In this way, it is unlikely that one person would freak out and somehow cause something terrible to happen since they must rely on the consent of the entire tribe.

>> ^raverman:

I come bringing viruses and diseases you have no immunity to and no medicines to treat. Here eat my food and handle my possessions.


It's not quite the same situation as it was with Native Americans or those tribes still surviving in the Amazon. While these people may have never had direct contact with a white person before, they certainly had indirect contact. Europeans have been visiting the island since the spice trade began in the 14th century.

The tribes can be roughly divided into coastal peoples and mountain peoples. The coastal peoples have had contact with Europeans for hundreds of years and built up tolerances to their diseases. Mountain people sometimes comes to the beach, and vice-versa, so in this way, resistances to common European diseases are pretty well dispersed among the population.

Actually, it is the white people that are in much more danger of falling ill. We are poorly equipped to handle malaria, dengue, and yellow fever. This, in part, is why there were still 'uncontacted' tribes well into the 20th century.


It's been almost a year since I lived there, and I must say that it is the one place I constantly dream of returning to. They could really use the money from tourism so if you are looking for something off the beaten path without being extremely dangerous, I suggest you check it out. It really is a paradise.

EXTREMELY ROUGH TRANSLATION PART 2

1:30~2:00

[NARRATOR] The images begin approximately 6 hours before the earthquake struck. It seemed like an ordinary morning. Mr. Muroga went about his business like he would on any other day. He had mounted a dashboard camera in order to deter criminals from breaking into his car and kept it recording at all times.

2:00~2:35

[NARRATOR]As he drove towards his next business appointment at 2:46 PM, the earthquake struck. It was a powerful quake, measuring 7 [the maximum on the Japanese scale]. You can see how a pedestrian was forced to crouch down due to the violent shaking.

2:35~2:53

[NARRATOR] At the time of the quake, Mr. Muroga was in the Izumi-ku part of Sendai City. After the quake, he resumed work and approached the coastal town of Shigamachi City. And then he headed towards his next business appointment in Miyagino-ku. But on his way there he was swallowed by the tsunami.

Why would I debate the particulars of this socialist bu11sh!t? Ears is the same inexperienced, clueless N00B from yesterday and the day before.
So as the atheist announces arguing over the particulars of deities is irrelevant, so I proclaim arguing the details of a phony "right" to health care that has never existed in America is also irrelevant.
USA is going broke, and of the two parties, one won't go far enough in trying to stop it, and the other that believes Government is the True God will attempt to raise taxes, their only solution to every problem and the equivalent of demolishing coastal homes to protect them from being destroyed by tsunamis.
