Your video, Iceman -- The Later Years (SNL), has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Sorry. This shows the lack of intelligence in society.
One, they are measuring intelligence 80 years after the fact.
Second, you are comparing a 6 year old to a 30 year old.

Naming states in alphabetical order, dates and what day it was, ect show more SAVANT behavior than genius.

Einstein was never determined to be a genius until many later years in his live.
While some claim it was in the high 160's, it was closer to 220 plus.
Newer, and newer IQ tested dumbed down what determined his a long time ago, which should have been.

Show me someone who created the fundamental laws of physics, that 80 years from then, is still being followed?
IQ of 160 +. No. Don't think so.

If this kid figures out String/M theory, and can expand on that.
Sure, give him the honor.

If not, get this kid to a doctor. He is obviously savant.
Daniel Tamment has that characteristic as well.
The boy with the incredible brain. Watch the doc.

This isn't amazing and he isn't "smarter" than Einstein.

I'll let wikipedia do the talking.

"The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prohibits the establishment of a national religion by the Congress or the preference of one religion over another, or religion over non-religion. Originally, the First Amendment only applied to the federal government. Subsequently, under the incorporation doctrine, certain selected provisions were applied to states. It was not, however, until the middle and later years of the twentieth century that the Supreme Court began to interpret the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses in such a manner as to restrict the promotion of religion by state governments. For example, in the Board of Education of Kiryas Joel Village School District v. Grumet, 512 U.S. 687 (1994), Justice David Souter, writing for the majority, concluded that "government should not prefer one religion to another, or religion to irreligion"."

^Are you kidding? Try not stoned at all.

I love this video. It is really interesting to see how much the Beatles changed over the years. At the beginning they always seemed like they were having a good time. They lapped up the attention and it seemed like everything was new and delightful to them. The later years are marked by much more sober Beatles, especially John, who used to be the goof-off.

If you're a fan like me, I recommend a band called 1964 The Tribute, a Beatles tribute band. It sounds really corny and silly, but I went because the tickets were cheap and I really enjoyed myself. They are actually very good musicians and have spent years perfecting their impersonations of The Fab Four. I have watched a lot of Beatles footage over the years and these guys got everything right. The way they strummed their guitars or played the drums, their stance on stage, the timbre of their voices, the way they talked and the kind of things they said to a live audience, their mannerisms, everything was nearly perfect. It was highly entertaining.

To suggest that things that will be done in the greatest good by Obama now may, somehow be turned towards evil in later years by those who do not have the people's best interests at heart could, quite frankly, just end up in a government that packs up, leaves, turns out the lights and doesn't look back.

Suggesting that the smallest possible government is the best thing is not at all necessarily true.
* A large public sector employing a lot of people means that those people are employed, are doing gainful work and that work is directly benefiting the country.
* Creating systems to help those in your country that need the help is a Good Thing, suggesting that people who are poor or sick or otherwise in need of assistance are in that position purely due to laziness is narrow minded. A good Social Security system is a cornerstone of a country that is good to live in.
* Systems and services run by government are not inherently bad or evil or poorly run, just as those handled by the private sector are not guaranteed to be expertly, efficiently and profitably run.

If there are checks and balances, if there are laws to stop abuse, if you the people elect persons into office that do not abuse power given to them, then a large government working for the people can be an excellent thing.

Trying to paint an Obama government in a bad light based on what a future bad president may do seems to be really grasping at straws.

We - we are the ones
We'll seal your fate, tear down your state, go get yo' guns
We - we came to fight
It's yo' disgrace, smash up your place, that's just polite

Once upon a time when crack was gold
And hip-hop was not yet platinum sold
I scoured the streets for stacks to fold
My mood like my hair was relaxed and blowed
I hated police and my teachers were beasts
My heat in the trunk of the classic Caprice
The one university, I knew the deal
So I cooked it, bagged it, put it on sale
Now philosophically you'd be opposed
to one inhaling coke via mouth or the nose
But economically I would propose
that you go eat a dick as employment froze
And I felt like an abandoned child
Left to fend for myself in the wild
While every courtroom, judge and gavel
were there to bury me under the gravel
Or at the bottom of the finest malt ale
Observe; you'll find without fail
That in every neighborhood and penitentiary
There exists many others who are similar to me and

We - we are the ones
We'll seal your fate, tear down your state, go get yo' guns
We - we came to fight
It's yo' disgrace, smash up your place, that's just polite

In later years I lost some peers
Who mixed burners with Belvedere
And took shots from gung-ho cashiers
The world was cold yet hell was near
So I seek for a kilo
And my stack got a little bit taller like Skee-Lo
A street CEO
There was all of this hell well and not one hero
The intensity was fortified
As I clenched five digits on the forty-five
Barely down at the retail store I would detail more
But I don't wish this action to be glorified
There was a plan I was eager to listen
To not sleep in the park in the fetal position
Having to wipe off canine fecal emission
Otherwise I'd survive without legal permission
It's an equal division and then we go to prison, which is a little decision
All I wanted was a Regal to glisten
And my kids would have meat in the kitchen and complete ammunition
It's a given once the people are driven that

We - we are the ones
We'll seal your fate, tear down your state, go get yo' guns
We - we came to fight
It's yo' disgrace, smash up your place, that's just polite

Get your work up! Get your work up!

We are born from the mildew, the rust, the heathenous lust
The dreams in the dust, the evidence flushed
The grieving is just, they're thieving from us
Insulted and cussed, this evening we bust
Appears unstable and under the table
We like free speech but we love free cable
We're taught from the cradle the Bill Gates fable
Which leads to high speeds in Buick LeSables
We have no excuses just great alibis
And poker faces you can't analyze
Our politicians sell our soul and our cries
With blood on their hands they can't sanitize
We're the have-nots, but we're also the gon'-gets
Not just talkin 'bout the Lex with the chrome kits
You can get that by yourself with the four-fifth
Let's all own shit then toast with Patron hits

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Klaus really has the Captain Caveman thing going. I Think his accent improved in later years.

Not to nitpick, but even Black Belts are a relatively new phenomenon. The story I heard was that the founder of Judo, Jigoro Kano, was quite blind in his later years, and used lengths of black cotton to tell his senior students apart from the newer ones.

The other story I heard was that you originally only used one belt from the time you took up an art. You were a black belt when your belt was black from dirt and sweat.

Axl Rose: The Later Years

It's not just you. It's something to do with the way videosift is outputting the code for the videos. Take this, for example. No video loads for me in FF3.0.1, but it does in Chrome/IE. When I looked at the page source I see this:

<div id="postembed-79477" class="post-embed"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.collegehumor.com/moogaloop/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1781561&fullscreen=1" width="540" height="303" ><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="movie" quality="best" value="http://www.collegehumor.com/moogaloop/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1781561&fullscreen=1" /></object></div>

There's no embed code in there, only object. Dag, lucky, is this a bug?

... p.s. why isn't html working for me in this comment? o_O
... p.p.s. i got html working by changing all the tags within the <code> block up there to &lt; and &gt; -_- was <div> freaking out the comment code somehow?

I believe two things.

1) The administration did not expect resistance in Iraq to be as heavy as it was, thats why it was so poorly planned with regards to post invasion action. However the problem was further exaggerated when the CPA followed with disastrous policies like sending young college kids to rebuild the nation based on a US model and the disbanding of the Iraqi army and previous governmental offices.

2) The various infractions that the administration committed with regards to US citizens rights, privacy rights, torture, obfuscation, governmental privatization is a clusterfuck that will not be unraveled or brought back from excesses by the next administration. This will leave a gaping policy hole where US rights and standards used to exist, allowing further infractions to occur in later years.

Yes, despite being a devout Catholic, and despite trying to remain loyal to the church, Galileo could not ignore the observations showing the sun at the centre of the solar system. The catholic church was of course teaching that the earth is the centre of creation and the universe (Aristotle). They persecuted Galileo. In later years, the catholic church recruited and funded astronomers which was the beginnings of the church using science for persuasion of its esoteric teachings which still goes on to this day. Today it's called Intelligent Design.

In reply to this comment by deedub81:
Galileo? Seriously?


In reply to this comment by Irishman:
"The Catholic church gets bashed on a lot and I'm never sure why."


The vatican staying silent about the holocaust during WWII,

Still teaching even today that HIV can pass through condoms in AIDS stricken Africa,

Covering up child abuse allegations, for example that of Father John Geoghan, accused of sexually molesting over 100 boys in the Archdiocese of Boston,

The persecution of Galileo, the inventor of the telescope,

The infamous brutal and violating interrogations directed at the suppresion of heresy,

In fact hundreds of years of years of persection, deceit, lies and social control; much of which can be levelled at any religion in the world. Take your pick.

The vatican's position on evolution does not explicity say that evolution is the most likely creation theory, only that "faith and scientific findings regarding the evolution of man's material body are not in conflict, though man is regarded as a 'special creation', and that the existence of God is required to explain the spiritual component of man's origins."

This is always worth saying: Science is a METHOD, not a position.

The fact that they were both able to walk and would approach me several times throughout the day to feed, is a pretty strong indicator that it's something they really needed.



Something they need, or something they were used to?

Children don't have a damn clue what they need.
They do, however, know full-well what they want.

There is nothing to be gained by breast feeding your child that long. (8 years, from the video)

There really isn't anything new I can bring to the table here, but I just wanted to say that what this woman is doing is appalling, and I am convinced that it will be detrimental to her children in later years.
