Until I see the video showing what happened prior to this to start him yelling at them, I stand by my comment. If nothing happened, then he should find cops that are actively abusing folks and yell at them some.


Wow, just because you are completely ignorant of the news, you go full ostrich.

Get a clue. Watch some news or videos. This footage was shot during the march to Times Square on Oct 15th. If you would like footage of NYPD cops man-handling peaceful protest during the last month, those videos are available also.

For all his bluster, this guy and the "greek people" have no alternative to the austerity measures. Unless, doing an ostrich move is a viable alternative.

They fooled themselves into believing they were much more wealthy than they are, when really they are just a third world country at core.

The money that has been borrowed by greece over the years has been used in part to prop up the greek upper and middle classes with subsidized industries, cushy but unproductive government jobs, and a very comfortable pension system.

The austerity measures are a gift to the Greeks.

Nigga look like a ostrich.

@shinyburry
so did god and jesus also reveal themselves to the chipmunks, the beavers, the ostriches, the gnats, the millions of species all over this planet?
did god appear to the fish in fish form? or to the lemurs in lemur form?
or are humans just so special? are we just SO wonderful that a supreme being would construct a planet for us to enjoy?

you do of course realize just how incredibly self-serving that sounds?


dude, i have no doubt you mean well, but seriously man, chill. thinking you have all the answers is arrogant, not humble. a lot of people have had some seriously spiritual experiences, including myself. but i'll be damned if i'm going to be stupid and arrogant enough to slap a name and face on it and proclaim my ascension.

Neat! I did a quick search on google and it told me that you can..

go fuck yerself. ..I'm gonna stick with that. = ]

How many of these climiate alarmists have to be brought up on charges, placed on administrative leave, have their findings utterly discredited, or otherwise be proven to be a bunch of liars before the Warmers give up and just admit that humans are NOT the drivers of whatever climate change may or may not be happening?

What's less intelligent, having a discussion about what you believe or jumping into that discussion and filling it with baseless accusations and ad homs? I'll let rationality decide that one. Don't put words in my mouth and don't attempt explain what you think I know.
I'll give you an example of the ridiculousness of evolutionary theory. Many evolutionists claim that the wings of an ostrich are a vestigal part. Despite the fact that anyone with a brain could observe that ostriches use their wings for quite a number of things, evolutionists claim that its on its way out. Well, the oldest ostrich fossil we have is around 50 or 60 million years old. Guess what? Its exactly the same. So even though the ostrich wing is supposed to be a vestigal part, it hasn't changed in 60 million years. Yet, scientists claim that humans evolved in the last 4 to 5 million years. See anything wrong here? With the enlightening commentary you've already produced, im guessing no.

shinyblurry position is based on the fact that he believes the bible is the word of god , so everything he is saying is based on him "knowing" that god exists so the science has to be wrong until it matches up with his belief that the bible is the word of god.
If u have sum one that thinks the bible is the word of god how can you exspect them to have a resnable conversation on things that requre a deeper understanding of the scientific method or cognagtive skills to interpret information thats available .
you would not expect sum one that can only draw stick men to suddenly be able to draw a relastic portrate. Given that its always worth encouraging them and helping point them in the right direction and in the long run they might evan be able to teach you a thing or two.



"What's less intelligent, having a discussion about what you believe or jumping into that discussion and filling it with baseless accusations and ad homs?"

The exact point of what i said is specifically that until sum-one understands or can demonstrait a basic grasp of the foundations of what they are talking about , its incredibly likely that all conversation with them will be waisted until you address the key issue thats holding them back.

The problem is Evolution is very well explained and demonstrated but creationists will ether ignore the scentific evidence presented to them or they will keep pointing to places science is yet to explain and then use that as a justification for intelligent design.

The only reason creationists are so keen to hold onto intelligent design and have a bias for it ( despite all the evidence that points to evolution) is because they believe the bible (whatever book they believe in) is the word of god.

The other issue with talking to Creationists online is its near imposable to tell if they are trolling. Why don't you phone up the atheist exsperance they will get to the route of what you believe and explain why a belief in a specific god is unfounded far faster than I could and and I'm sure most people on this website could.

A quick google search will prove this wrong, the earliest ostrich-like fossil is more like 40 million years old, and more importantly, it's nothing like a modern ostrich, but a distant ancestor of ostriches, As with humans, like all other species, there is no one thing called ostriches, there are many subspecies, and even more extinct relatives and ancestral lineages


As for its vestigal wings, well, nobody is saying htey are useless, just that they are useless for FLYING. in other words, they are a perfect example of the very kind of evolution Behe says isnt possible in the video, namely that just because something seems useless for what it is usually used for (such as a non-flying wing or a non-rotating flagellum-like protein structure) it can have other uses for that animal or bacteria.

Humans didnt evolve in full over 4-5 million years, we, along with every other modern animal, have evolved for 3 billion years. We share ancestors with chimps, and these ancestors lived around 2 million years ago. And to us they would probably look rather chimp-like, they would be four-legged, tree-dwelling apes, some populations would stay behind in the forest, basically maintaining and perfecting the lifestyle, and some populations were gradually driven into more open savannah, where they developed bipedalism and eventually larger brains. But from evolutions perspective, the majority of the work (in creating us) had been long since done. 4 million years ago we were already great apes, and if an alien came to this planet they might say "oh they're basically still the same ape, larger brains and bipedal, maybe, but basically the same"

These differences make a massive difference to us, of course, because they separates us from everything else, but in the grand scheme of things, they may not be the evolutionary miracle we think they are.

Not many realize that Ostriches are native to Poland and merely introduced to Australia, along with the Cane Toad, Koala, Panther and Dingo during the wave of Polish colonization throughout the world in the mid 18th Century.

Am I the only one that wonders why there is an ostrich in the giraffe pen?
