Let's not confuse these overprivileged white people with those who have genuinely had to endure adversity. They aren't kin to the civil rights protesters of the 60s or the suffragettes of the early 20th century. Your comparison is silly. These people have nothing at stake here. If dancing at national memorials is really at the top of your list of personal concerns, life is good.

Why not protest something meaningful?

It's amazing that this cat seems to know why it can't open the box. It's disturbing that now they know what the problem is, they will use their passive-aggressive feline wiles to get us to build them bionic opposable thumbs. And we'll do it, too, because you're such a cute little kitty witty kins, aren't you? Yes you are! Who's a cute little kitty kit kit?

Thanks for the Quality!

and those are the fu*kin Cheiftans in that vid!

Because its an idiotic Tradition that has absolutely no merit. In essence, its a Fu*kin waste of public figures time, and tax payer money. In my own opinion, I am not to sure on Fusionauts take. I came on to say the same thing but he can take my downvote

Have to admit, this is pretty clever. Pity they killed Courier, it was far more exciting than either the hilariously impotent Kin, or Phone 7, which really, really doesn't need to crowd the market of mobile OSs any further.

This vid beyond a doubt...oh nevermind...thinking rationally towards facts is void of this video.
Nevermind the wars going on and the recourse mining. It is the international lookout of these practices that is the problem. (f'kin UN). If you want to be a good regulator (and keep your job) STOP SPEAKING OUT. It's hurting our agenda for you.
You know how to kick a hornets nest into annoyed thought Blankfist.

@chilaxe, I would agree with mgittle, it doesn't seem like you watched the video.

The idea here isn't so much that we shouldn't allow people who do have the fortune to have been blessed with the ability and inclination to provide value to society to reap rewards from it. Instead it is the observation that perhaps they haven't earned their great wealth due to having merely made better choices as an individual. More than individual choice, it is likely that their wealthy is due more to their pure luck to have been born to the right parents, and into the right environment, and that therefore they shouldn't feel as if they have some special claim to the rewards of their value to society that exceeds all other concerns.

To someone like me, this puts quite eloquently my own intuitive sense that I am not successful because I made better choices in life than other people, as much as it was that I was born to wealthy, intelligent parents who gave me opportunity and genes not available to everyone. If anything, I feel I have failed to live up to the potential they gave me.

It is this basic sense of humility, the sense that my abilities were a gift, some sort of fortunate accident, that drives much of my political and moral views of the world. I do not feel that I, as an individual am superior to others, and therefore deserving of superior reward. Instead, I feel that whatever abilities I posses come with an overriding obligation to use them to help society as much as possible, and that much of the material reward I receive from doing so is another lucky accident, one that I have a fairly weak moral claim to.

In fact I struggle to understand the mentality of people who see themselves as some sort of John Galt, an Atlas who deserves some sort of wealth all out of proportion to the rest of their human kin simply because accidents of birth and circumstance led them to greatness.

This isn't a cry for absolute equality -- those who do serve society to a greater degree do have a reasonable expectation of entitlement to greater reward for their service. But they do not have some absolute, inviolate claim to the wealth they create, especially when faced with the prospect of something like a progressive tax structure designed to aid those who are less blessed.

'I watch it all the time...' LOL! where's my damn remote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if this is real and it appears to be, the older bro IS ill... however the little bro and ma seem to be opportunistic and obviously could care less what happens to their kin... 'merica!

Well you would too if you were stuck on that f**kin island!

I love DJ Food ever since he remixed Kin Nordine recordings. Thanks for the tip.

Sorry for having a different opinion, BoneRemake and Shepppard, but I really don't see how I pissed in your Wheaties. Leave the personal attacks at home, dudes.

Of course the driver screwed up, I thought that was so obvious I didn't need to even comment on it.

Shit happens, and any parent worth the name wants their children to have at least a clue. If the kid had known how to get help, i.e. knock on a door and ask someone to call the cops, he wouldn't have been so frantic. Five is plenty old enough to know how to ask for the police. That gives you all sorts of better results in a situation like this, doesn't it? First, the kid doesn't have to stand around crying for hours. Second, the cops will bring him home, or call mom to pick him up at the police station. Third, you have an official record of the incident to back up any legal action that might be taken. Fourth, you don't have the kid standing outside for hours in an area he doesn't know and isn't known, where he really -could- be at risk.

So in closing, piss off.

hey you have a real fucked up deluded sense of how children think, I hope for the worlds sake you dont have little kin soldiers who are five and know how to battle dress a wound or capture game at seven. hell by four they should know how to recognize block parent signs and run for help whence a molester comes.

Thanks for the promote.
