What I believe is that children, especially around the age of 10-12 are smarter than 90% of all the adults in the world put together they aren't confined by adult rules and restraints yet, they take things at face value and aren't scared to put forth ideas others might think are "crazy" or to embarrass themselves trying to share those ideas. Most ancient cultures believe that humans peak at 10-12 not 18-21 like you would think. It's because only when we look at things with a fresh point of view unencumbered by societies stereotypes are we truly at out finest. That's what I believe.

@Deadrisenmortal and @dystopianfuturetoday you guys can't seriously be that cynical. Surely you were bright kids too. I remember wanting to solve the worlds problems when I was 12. Good for her that she actually found a solution and got people to listen despite her age. Far too many kids are shot down from being greater than their adult peers simply based on age discrimination. Don't help those people out. They get enough help as it is.

Although I am 100% behind the message I am with DFT on the delivery system. There is no evidence that this is anything more than a little bird singing a song she has been taught to sing. If there was a question and answer period or a challenge presented by an audience member that she was able to take on intelligently I might change my mind. Until that happens my advice is to stop using your kid to sell your message.

Ahh, the old "kids are too stupid to have minds of their own" approach...

but I find it creepy when parents use their kids as a political mouthpiece.




No one is saying that this girl isn't bright, or that she doesn't want to change the world. But if you seriously can't see or hear the influence of her parents behind what she's reading, then I've got a painting I'd like to sell you.

...and she's a bit cunty for a 2 year old. I mean she's asking for it wearing an outfit like that. She's not even wearing a bra!!!>> ^alien_concept:

He is a bit rapey for a 2 year old

You should change the description to whatever this originally was, because I just fixed this with the finnish subtitled trailer not realizing that was wrong until I saw the comments above.
*dead
>> ^Norsuelefantti:

Fixed again, but this time all the starting scene videos were shot down, so I used a trailer instead...

"Their plane was shot down and the two men were captured by hostile forces. Denton and Tschudy were both held as prisoners of war for almost eight years, four of which were spent in solitary confinement...

"Denton was part of a group of about 11 prisoners known as the "Alcatraz Gang"... which was separated from other captives and placed in solitary confinement for their leadership in resisting their captors. "Alcatraz" was a special facility in a courtyard behind the North Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense, located about one mile away from Hoa Lo Prison.

"In Alcatraz, each of the 11 men were kept in solitary confinement, where cells measured 3 feet by 9 feet and had a light bulb kept on around the clock; the prisoners were locked each night in irons by a guard."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah_Denton

And if he does it, he's most likely to be shot down or thrown some absolutely bullshit rumour/scandal/indigment thing on him. It's a no win and i hope that these 18-29 year olds mr Moore talks about make that revolution happen.

I'm voting this up pretty much purely because I want to see the discussion on this, not so much because I agree with him.

There are truths in what he says, that those who partook in the riots are self involved, self pitying shits who have no justification for doing what they did.

But... this whole 'how/where you were brought up is no excuse for the way you are' line of thinking is rubbish.

It's much easier to have a sense of worth and see that work = reward equation when you've been brought up in a supportive environment where all your basic needs are taken care of without thought and time is then spent on your self esteem and treating other with respect etc.

If you were brought up in a low income environment with parents who don't have any self esteem themselves and pass on that feeling to their children. If time after time you try to do the right thing or work hard and yet are shot down by negative others in your environment or just otherwise shown that cleaning up or doing work doesn't change your situation much... then yeah, you can start getting a world view that doesn't include making an effort because you've never seen it work, you've never been told that if you try you could actually accomplish something.

Sure you can wheel out examples of hugely successful people who dragged themselves out of such situations, but they are BY FAR in the minority, and come from either pretty exceptional character traits in themselves, or you may find that they had one or two mentors who made a huge difference in how they lead their lives.

So Pat's rant about it all being their fault is not entirely true. It's a case of society as a whole not having in place ways of breaking the shitty cycle of poor, self abusing, self loathing parents = the same type of kids.

If programs of one sort or another can be introduced that can show those kids that hard work can make a difference, that they are worthy, and give them opportunities to use any skills they may have productively, then you CAN stop this sort of mentality. You CAN instil a feeling of pride in your neighbourhood, you CAN reduce this ME ME ME thinking.

Pat's thinking doesn't help anything. To help things he could be starting up some centres to start these things moving in the right direction, he could be volunteering for groups that I'm sure already exist who are trying to do these things, but I'm sure are woefully understaffed.

But no, he'd rather just call them all scum and pretend it's entirely their fault and that his upbringing and education have nothing to do with him living comfortably.

I wanted to create this channel when I turned ruby, but was overruled that geek covered it... but I share your view that they are indeed different.
While I still have the ability to create a channel... I'm hoping to take over an existing one I have my eye on instead.


Ditto. I tried to make a similarly named channel: http://duckman33.videosift.com/member/Duckman33/poll and was also shot down.

Why are we voting on this yet again? funny and this time it is almost overwhelmingly getting approval. Go figure....
