Best Antiques Roadshow clip EVER

Best Antiques Roadshow clip EVER

The one US representative not bought by the insurance lobby.

MrConrads says...

It is NOT the responsibility of the consumer to keep a business open. The responsibility rests on the business to provide a good product that the customer wants at a reasonable price, to treat their customers with respect, and evolve with the times. If they can't do those things then they need to find a new line of work.

Do you think Apple would still be in business if they were still selling the IIGS? Do you think anyone would still volunteer to serve in the armed forces if they were still being issued muskets? What if Ford was still making the Model A and toting it as the the best thing they had to offer?

Big Daddy Kane - Ain't No Half-Steppin

MrFisk says...

Rappers stepping to me they want to get some
But I'm the Kane, so yo, you know the outcome
Another victory
They can't get with me
So pick a BC date cause you're history
I'm the authentic poet to get lyrical
For you to beat me, it's gonna take a miracle
And, stepping to me, yo that's the wrong move
So what you on, Hobbs, dope or dog food?
Competition I just devour
Like a pitbull against a Chihuahua
Cause when it comes to being dope, hot damn
I got it good, now let me tell you who I am
The B-I-G D-A-double D-Y K-A-N-E
Dramatic, Asiatic, not like many
I'm different, so don't compare me to another
Cause they can't hang, word to the mother
At least not with the principal in this pedigree
So when I roll on you rappers, you better be
Ready to die because you're petty
You're just a butter knife, I'm a machete
That's made by Ginzu, wait until when you
Try to front, so I can chop into
Your body, just because you try to be basing
Friday the 13th, I'mma play Jason
No type of joke, gag, game, puzzle or riddle
The name is Big Daddy, yes Big not little
So define it
Here's your walking papers, sign it
And take a walk
As the Kane start to talk, cause...

My rhymes are so dope and
The rappers be hoping
To sound like me, so soon I'll have to open
A school of MCing, for those who want to be in
My field in court
Then again on second thought
To have MC's coming out sounding so similar
It's quite confusing for you to remember
The originator, and boy do I hate a
Perpetrator, but I'm much greater
The best oh yes I guess suggest the rest should fess
Don't mess or test your highness
Unless you just address with best finesse
And bless the paragraph I manifest
Rap prime minister, some say sinister
Non-stopping the groove, until when it's the
Climax, and I max, relax and chill
Have a break from a take of me acting ill
Brain cells are lit, ideas start to hit
Next the formation of words that fit
At the table I sit, making it legit
And when my pen hits the paper, ahh shit!
I stop and stand strong over MC's
And devour with the power of Hercules
Or Samson, but I go further the length
Cause you could scalp my cameo and I'll still have strength
And no, that's not a myth, and if you try to riff
Or get with, the man with the given gift of gab
Your vocab, I'll only ignore
Be sleeping on your rhymes till I start to snore
You can't awake me, or even make me
Fear you, son, cause you can't do me none
So, think about it if you're trying to go
When you want to step to me, I think you should know that...

I appear right here and scare and dare
A mere musketeer that would dare to compare
Put him in the rear, back there where he can't see clear
Get a beer, idea or near stare, yeah
So on to be want to be competition
Trying to step to me--must be on a mission
Up on the stage is where I'mma get you at
You think I'm losing?
Psst, picture that...

The name is Big Daddy, you know, as in your father
So when you hear a def rhyme, believe that I'm the author
I grab the mic and make MC's evaporate
The party people say, damn...that rapper's great
The creator conductor of poetry
Et cetera, et cetera, it ain't easy being me
I speak clearly so you can understand
Put words together like letter, man
Now that's dictation, proceeding to my innovation
Not like the other MC's, who are an imitation
Or an animation, a cartoon to me
But when I'm finished, I'm sure that you are soon to see
Reality, my secret technique
Because I always speak with mentality
I put my title in your face, dare you to base
And if you try and come get it, yo I'mma show you who's with it
So if you know like I know, instead of messing around
Play like Roy Rogers and slooow doown
Just give yourself a break, or someone else will take
Your title, namely me, cause I'm homicidal
That means murder, cause I'm about to hurt a-
Nother MC, that try to get with me
I'll just break him and bake him and rake him
and take him and mold him and make him
Hold up the peace sign...
Assalam Walaikum!

LOON WATCH: Glenn Beck Show issues a wingnut call to arms

Lolthien says...

Guys, I live in kentucky, and short of montana, I daresay this state would be the first to hop up with our musket shooters and have a good ol' fashioned rebellin', but even here in the western part of the state, no one is honestly considering any sort of militia raising.

The people who are crazy enough to start a militia might, if they ALL banded together, take over a small town in the south somewhere...

But they are NOT.. repeat, are NOT numerous enough to cause any sort of civil war. To give them that sort of credit really gives them more power than they deserve.

Close Call With a Lion - Impressive video

imstellar28 says...

Two problems with that morality:

1. Ritual is relevant.

If you kill only one animal, why does it matter if the lethal wound is from an arrow or a bullet? Does your argument stand if the weapons are a 17th century musket versus a compound bow? How about a knife coated with fast-acting neurotoxin? Blow darts? Hand to hand, but you are wearing a high-tech exoskeleton?

2. Omniscient is required.

Imagine it is instead a hermit who purchases guns and poaches the lion, one who has never seen the "endangered species" list. How are they to know the population of lions, or the population of lions worldwide, unless they have omniscience?

Or, if you leave on Friday for a week-long deer hunting trip, and after you leave every deer worldwide falls ill from a worldwide-virus except the ones in your geographical location. That species is now endangered yet you would have to be omniscient to realize what you were doing was now morally wrong.

Yes, killing lions may be, or should be, socially wrong; but you aren't talking about socially wrong you are talking about morally wrong because you said "they deserve to die" not "they deserve to be socially ostracized."

>> ^Farhad2000:
Look if you go hunting a over populated species with a bow knife and a bow and arrow I get it. I might not agree with it but I get it.
But when you are 'hunting' with a rifle, a species that is protected, for some kind of stupid kick then you totally deserve to be mauled by the animal.

WATCH FEMA & Local COPS VIOLATE OUR 2nd AMENDMENT RIGHTS!

wraith says...

LONG, sorry.

>> ^Aemaeth:
I've always been an advocate of the second amendment for a lot of reasons, such as, I've heard there are fewer violent crimes committed in areas where more people have guns (don't rob someone who may shoot you). Guns don't kill people, people kill people. If no one had guns, we'd all be talking about knife control next, then fingernail-clipper control, etc.


Do you have any evidence supporting this? I mean ANY envidence?
Look at other countries with tougher gun-control laws. Look at Japan for crying out loud. About the toughest gun control laws around, and - Surprise! - one of the lowest murder rates in the world. (There are, of course, other sociological reasons besides gun control for that.)

Do you know why the London Metropolitan Police (the "Bobbys") only wear Truncheons (Night-Sticks, Clubs, whatever you call them) and no guns? Because the expect most criminals to be unarmed. Seems to work there.

You are right Guns, on their own, don't kill people, but they make it so much easier.

And consider this: Have you ever read a news story like, "...and then ten year old Bobby, while showing off his father's kitchen knife, accidentally stabbed his four year old brother thrity times in the chest."?


>> ^Aemaeth:
We need to consider this, however. We no longer fight with muskets and military weapons are no linger identical to hunting weapons like they were then.


That reminds me of the segement from "Bowling For Columbine", where Moore asks that Gun-toting nut-job cousin of Timothy McVeigh if he thinks that under the 2nd Ammendement, US-citizens should be allowed to posses Anthrax or nuclear weapons. Gues, what the guy answers...:-)


>> ^Aemaeth:
In conclusion, I think gun control is rubbish. It doesn't work.


Aehm. Evidence? If you mean that gun-control, in coutries who practice it, does not lead to a totally gun-free society, then you should also say that laws don't work and costitutions don't work.

WATCH FEMA & Local COPS VIOLATE OUR 2nd AMENDMENT RIGHTS!

Aemaeth says...

I've always been an advocate of the second amendment for a lot of reasons, such as, I've heard there are fewer violent crimes committed in areas where more people have guns (don't rob someone who may shoot you). Guns don't kill people, people kill people. If no one had guns, we'd all be talking about knife control next, then fingernail-clipper control, etc.

I think it is time for a revision of the second amendment. I agree that no one should have their rights violated and I will stand up for anyone's right to bare arms, but I think there's more to a lot of these stories. First of all, why would you be transporting a LOADED gun (as the gentlemen in boat story mentioned). If there's no bullets it become MUCH more safe to transport and virtually eliminates all possibility of an accident. Most states require this to legally transport a firearm. As far as the old lady, why would you get out a gun with the cops? That's just dumb, even if they overreacted.

Now, on to the second amendment. As Penn and Teller mentioned in their appropriately named cable show, the founding fathers added the second amendment to the constitution because they needed their guns for the American Revolution and wanted to make sure we'd have ours the next time we need a revolution. We need to consider this, however. We no longer fight with muskets and military weapons are no linger identical to hunting weapons like they were then. Instead, we use tanks, aircraft, and M16's for fighting. If we are to ensure we have an armed population so that a revolution could take place, isn't that the kind of hardware we would need to accomplish the task? That's great that you have a .22 rifle, I have a tank. Doesn't matter if it's 10,000 to one, the tank wins. The only way the American people could current rebel against their government at this point would be massive and sudden assassinations (kill everyone in Washington and starting working your way down) or if the military split and helped to fight as well.

In conclusion, I think gun control is rubbish. It doesn't work. I think the second amendment is also broken, however, and we need some better way to prevent a hostile military takeover. Lastly, I will defend anyone's right to bare arms, so long as they follow the laws of the land they live in. If the laws are unjust, change them, don't break them.

Please, I welcome any comments.
