I didn't see a single eye patch, or peg leg.
Disappointing.

Yeah, this video is ignorant.

The majority of debt is held internally by the government. It's not at all like going to a bank and asking for more credit. More accurately, you've been going through a tough financial patch and you borrowed against your retirement savings and the money you set aside for your kids college. You know you need to pay it back but for now, you need the money to keep the lights on and make the car payment. Turning off the lights is not an option and selling the car will make you unable to work to get back on your feet. In fact, if you invest in a truck and some new equipment you expect to be able to get more work and be better off next year.

A person can educate themself on the reality of public debt in much less time than it takes to make an ignorant video. One wonders then, why there's so much ignorance. Or is it just manipulation of the ignorant?

In other news: a woman froze to death in Japan after sustaining injuries when her car went off an icy patch of road. Despite being a championship sprinter, she was unable to flag down help from a passing motorist.

Alright... I just got Intel from H.Q. E.T.A. 5 minutes to bedtime boys, let's wrap it up!

That and the Max line... "Stay up soldier! Here's a med kit, patch yourself up!" and a few others scattered around... but the bedtime boys one was the one that made me have to sift it...

Perhaps I do speculate a bit as to why the biker caused the 'accident', but it seems to me that you continue to speculate that the driver MUST have done SOMETHING to cause the bikers to completely loose their shit and attack the family with helmets and knives. I fail to see how you get that impression without starting from the standpoint that the bikers MUST be 'reasonable' people that would not have attacked without 'proper' provocation. I think their behavior proves clearly they are not reasonable. More than likely, there were some 1%ers in that group that live for that kind of trouble, including the one that started it.
At least according to the police, his tires were slashed and his car hit with multiple helmets, provoking him to drive over the bikes/biker. He was later nearly ripped out of the car (door locks people) and finally at a third location actually pulled out and beaten/stabbed.
Perhaps I misunderstood, but you SEEMED to be excusing the bikers behavior, at least to a point, by saying (in essence) 'The driver provoked them'. I disagreed that he did, (I certainly didn't see it in the video) and also disagree that anything excuses a gang blocking the freeway and teaching a lesson to those that disrespected their road ownership by slashing tires, beating the car with helmets, terrorizing a family with a small child.
My hunch is that this guy didn't follow the gangs directions to stop and kept driving where they wanted to do tricks in the freeway, and they decided to teach him a lesson for messing with their illegal street trick performance...which this group is apparently well known for. They did the same thing last year to at least one other car without the chase or bike climbing, from the videos I've seen today. Surrounded it in traffic and beat on it.
As an aside...the guy was in a great position to talk shit, in a 3 ton 4WD on the freeway...it's when he turned onto side streets with traffic and didn't lock the door that he was in the real bad position! ;-}
I say things like "fag gangs with knives" because that's what they were. Fags and the bike curious. I understand the mindset of gang members, I simply think that most are narcissistic self centered assholes that need their friends around to be tough (for the most part... some are real tough narcissistic assholes). If you're wearing a full patch or ride in groups with others wearing patches, you're in a gang, not a club...at least to me.
And before you get the wrong impression that I don't get the dangers bikers live with, I rode my bicycle 40 miles per day in the bay area for years, and NO ONE sees a bicycle, at least they hear motorcycles. I don't support the people who block the street with bicycles either.

Do you really think the guy driving around with his wife and 2 year-old started deliberately fucking with a group of bikers? Guarantee you the bikers crowded and intimidated him to start this thing off. That's the whole point of what they're doing... to create a large intimidating mass that removes people from their sense of personal responsiblity. I personally loathe bikers (ones with "patches"). I tend not to get along with them. Can you tell?

Still in New York there's no state license requirement for the possession of a rifle or shotgun...Both barrels from a coach gun (fired into the air even) and this pursuit may have ended before it began.

Uhhh, dumb-ass in the Rover should have simply dropped-out of the biker patch, saved himself a mob encounter.

1)Yes its a glitch/exploit. When an exploit is detrimental to the game it should of course be patched but just because its unintended by the developer doesn't necessarily make it detrimental to the game. Broodwar was full of glitches like this and it made it a better game. Exploiting detrimental glitches is a pretty good way to get them fixed quickly.

2)Build a forge.

Great comment! You raised many interesting points.

One important thing to note that the modern human mind is essentially like an advanced piece of software which runs on antiquated hardware (sort of like running Skyrim on an N64). As many as 7% (though I don't currently have a source for this at hand) of the general population are estimated to experience auditory hallucinations, and surprisingly enough, most of those people aren't psychotically structured. This is why auditory hallucinations are seen as a secondary, rather than primary, symptom of schizophrenia.

Rather, what is actually happening is that the antiquated hardware, for whatever reason, is showing its faults. The primitive responses which tend to stay dormant for most people are finding their way to the surface.

In other words, the truth of schizophrenia is that it isn't so much an illness as it is a regression to a more primitive version of the human mind. And as both you an Eleanor pointed out, this can have both pros and cons. Another example of a broken system which can produce contextually positive results is eidetic memory, which causes a person to be unable to forget.

And this is also something that I find to be quite interesting, because what it means is that mental illnesses are, in fact, contextual illnesses. A schizophrenic person is essentially "sick" because he/she has a bug in his/her software and as a result is unable to download patches from the rest of society. Go back 3000 years and it is entirely possible that auditory hallucination would have been the norm.

The reason for the stigma being so harmful is that it simply focuses on the wrong thing. It takes a secondary symptom, i.e. hearing voices, and makes it seem like the actual disease. In truth, the auditory hallucination is just an externalized version of a process which is actually internal. Where most of us simply have thoughts, the schizophrenic might instead hear a voice. To turn stigmatize those auditory hallucinations is to potentially cripple the sufferer's ability to perform basic maintenance on themselves.

Don't know if the laws are consistent everywhere but, last year the sunflowers I planted between my fence and the sidewalk developed a progressively growing bald patch. Couldn't figure it out until we saw an old man walking away with his pockets full of sunflowers. My wife talked to him one day when she caught him doing pulling more and he insisted they were on public property because they were outside the fence. Ended up talking to some cops about it, when they were responding to something else on our block and they assured us that it is, in fact, stealing. We had no interest in pushing the matter because, honestly, nice to know they were brightening up someone's home. Although, that bare patch kept getting bigger and uglier all summer. lol

Just wanted to throw that out there for context.

It looks like he has been working on that patch of ground for a long time....

While Maher often does say things I agree with, he is in general a bit of a douche nozzle and very prone to I'll informed sweeping judgements that make him look rather silly (^ like this).

As far as what Mr. Greenwald said my response would be in so many words: "K'IN AYE DUDE!!" though if anything he doesn't go far enough.

The hegemony is subject to no boundaries, even those nations which actively reject it's institutions (Global market) are still bound and defined by it's existence so long as they share the same small patch of universe.

Wars exist to make money, in this day and age more than perhaps ever before. Every G.I. wounded, every round spent, every wound sutured, every school bombed.....someone in the club makes a profit..................

No matter how just & worthy your cause or evil your enemy, so long as one of these fuckers is bankrolling it, or their companies supplying it, you will loose in the long run. Every. Single. Time.

Unless your war is against the market and excessive privilege/wealth itself, your just screwing the rest of us over. I have big problems with Suni and Shi'ite Islam (the Sufi's seem ok) but blowing them up is very unlikely to improve the situation for anyone, doubly so at the end of a Lockheed-Martin missile!

"While ewoks are often mawkishly portrayed on film as cute, curious little urchins that live in tree houses and coo adorably, the reality of wild ewoks is an entirely different story....The dandy little chaps you’ve seen on the silver screen are just midgets in ewok suits; real ewoks don’t have smooth, clean fur, and no sane human would be inclined to pet one. They’re so plagued by lice, fleas, dander and mange that their coats are spotted with huge bald patches and pocked with weeping sores. Touching one would likely net you a fistful of loose fur, matted with pus and crawling with ticks."
