Charlie Brooker's 2016 Wipe

dannym3141 says...

I've not seen any real proof that having a royal family living in the palace is a deal-breaker for tourists. And so I've also never seen any proof that they provide a net gain to the country because they get fecking millions in subsidies, security, and all the land and positions they own 'by divine right'.

They royalty are public servants - you would never catch me bowing to any of them, or treating them any differently than i would a stranger - respectfully, as equals.

As far as i'm concerned, they've got the luckiest life in the world by birthright, which goes completely against everything i believe in. So they better do a lot of charity work and never complain about it - which to be fair they have done, but only because they know they're on thin ice and will be summarily dethroned if they act up. Especially at a time like this.

the monarchy, as powerless as they really are, contribute millions (billions?) of pounds to their country from tourism alone.

Except the Iraq war wasn't started by Hillary or Obama: https://www.britannica.com/event/Iraq-War the war was started by a republican president who told us there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Moreover, he was FOR the war when we first invaded, in spite of what he says now. http://www.politicususa.com/2016/09/18/trump-accidentally-admits-lying-opposing-iraq-war.html

The greedy elite he's referring to are people like himself.

And he does little more than spew *lies. The guy is dishonest, plain and simple.

Lady Berates Lyft Driver Over Hawaiian Bobblehead Doll

poolcleaner says...

I fail to see how the depiction of the luna dance is offensive to Hawaiians. I wonder if she would be offended by my DVD copy of Lilo & Stitch? Or my wife's Lilo bobblehead.

Some history: Protestants banned hula in the 19th century, so the celebration of this traditional dance seems to me to be empowering versus the censorship of what the Protestants called "heathen". Sure, the introduction of the Portuguese ukulele and other Western aesthetics changed the art form, but it's practiced in both modern and traditional forms today.

You also can't simply demonize the cross-pollination of cultures, because cultural values are always changing. Hawaiian and Polynesian culture went through many changes and forms long before anyone from the West showed up on their shores. The luau itself is partly symbolic of women's rights (as well as lower class rights) in Hawaiian culture, as before the luau, women were not allowed to eat the same food as men, and commoners could not eat with royalty or eat their royal Hawaiian food.

This change didn't happen until the 1800s, so it's likely that this level of equality within the Hawaiian culture is due in part to European contact, including the the King who himself became a Christian -- and yet also encouraged the luna dance.

When cultures make contact with each other, they become entangled. They influenced us and we influenced them -- and they're Americans now so deal with it. I once had pictures of Italian Americans on my wall (Godfather/Scarface posters) and my grandma has a Jew on her crucifix. Neither of us are Italian or Jewish. LOL

He's got that same fucked up Euro-grill at :20. Brits always have bad teeth. The result of centuries of royal in-breeding. >_<

What happened to his teeth?

In the photos from when he was younger they seemed like they had their act together, so how did they go so out of whack?

Actually he lived to 90 and died of a rare disease, named after him, after sending detailed observations of the illness to the Royal Society.

Delft was pretty tolerant during the 17th Century (aka the Dutch Golden Age).

Info Wars/Alex Jones vs TYT/Cenk Uygur

Babymech says...

Yeah, I'm not about to hand out 'critical thinker of the year' awards to people just because they don't believe a guy who says the British royal family and Obama are reptoids.

For all the sifters who think I would hail Alex Jones you are wrong.

Agreed Alex Jones is a nut job.
