I think the point there is merely that the tyres take the suspension hit, making it a smoother experience than your whole car juttering about, I guess it would just be a small feeling of going up and down.

I imagine you still need to approach speed bumps slowly, if you took it too hard, I'm sure the tyre would crack or break from the immediate clash. I also imagine that by the time the materials in these tyres exist/become affordable mainstream, all cars would be driven by AI, making speed bumps largely unnecessary.

Jeremy Clarkson is right, in Britain at least, the cocks have moved from BMW's and are now plaguing the roads in Audis

Exactly what I was thinking. I would've just decked this mother fucker.


I'd love an Audi, though, but i fear if i did, I'd turn into this guy. Like the Wolfman transformation

I tend to read what the writer has read into the comment. Hardly ever do I take any comment at face value, especially here on the VS. Agenda and world-view clashes make my dick hard, and it's a weak-minded thug who cowers at the occasional exercise in heated confrontation.

What has always pissed me off here and internet-wide, esp. after having been (and remain in the limited framework of many users minds) accused, convicted by kangaroo court and jury and labeled a troll???.... People using labels that other monkeys can grunt in unison to, should they face having to actually think and engage in discourse.

I have always here engaged in discussions at length either through PM's or offsite in chat(especially when someone has taken issue with my free-will exercized) here on Videosift.....I'd rather chat than offer back and fourth quips, and ANYONE'S ONE SENTENCE QUIP, hip or not, clever or not, qualifies as trollish behavior in my estimation.....YOU ARE ALL TROLLS LIVING IN DENIAL!!!


Popularity is an illusion, I come here for the infamy.

I have to say that however reluctant I was to participate in one of the many public abortion debates that recur continually without really going anywhere, but felt it would be indecent to allow that discussion to unfold without some token objection raised against common delusions, I'm even more reluctant to talk one-on-one where there's still less opportunity for progress.

One reason these kind of debates, not just on abortion but any political or social topic, don't advance is that they concern questions of applied ethics that really belong very late in our philosophical development. It's as futile for adherents of varying ethical theories to clash on single issues as it is for travellers to row at a crossroads about which way they should go when they all set off from different places, following wildly differing maps, with compasses that all point in different directions. Why not agree which way is north first?

There's so much metaphysical and epistemological groundwork to be done before a sound consensus can be reached. I say 'sound' because with broadly binary questions there will appear to be a lot more agreement than there really is.

So rather than go on a trip with you I'd prefer to tell you where to start. You have to resolve subjectivity (you say that consciousness is "illusive and scarcely understood" - ultimately that's true of everything, which is the fundamental problem; I did give you a definition, in fact - perception and understanding, cognition and identity) and choose the fewest and most basic axioms on which to construct a nominally objective philosophy. That's where the debate belongs; what should those axioms be and what proceeds directly from them?

If you want me to give you a way to distinguish between mind and not-mind, the ability of a candidate to engage with that process would be a pretty good indication.

In reply to this comment by ReverendTed:
I wanted to continue this discussion, but it's going off in a different direction, so I figured I'd bring it here onto your home turf. You've obviously traveled this road before, but I'm coming along for the ride this time. (Road trip!)

We'll start here and see where this takes us: What's your reasoning for saying that a baby (or someone with a cognitive disability, or hell, an animal) is not Mind? I know where I'd like this to go, but I'll let you drive.

It looks so bad because there's a clash between the dimensions of the object being forced by the videosift app and the optimal width of the player. If you make it 416px by 374px it looks a lot better (width="416" height="374")

Wow - has the CNN embed become the ugliest piece of bloatware ever? Thank god they've got the "Mixx" button there - does that place even still exist?

Edit: nope it doesn't. You guys can't get mad at us for not removing Revver from our accepted hosts list - we've got our shit together more than CNN.

Huge BAD fan here. The BAD lineup from the 80s (Jones-Letts-Williams) is such a great combo and a culmination of Don Letts' efforts at the Roxy to fuse punk with reggae. And Jones' love of hip hop and Clash alumnus status made him the obvious frontman. 1989's Megatop Phoenix is BAD at their very best. Great band.

I don't know. I see politicians kissing women on the cheek all the time and it skeeves me out. Secretary Clinton getting kissed on the cheek. I mean, really.

After this was up for awhile, I did read somewhere that this guy is a comedian and this is his "schtick." So all my noise about it being a "culture clash" is just uninformed gabbledegook.

See, I can argue with myself, even!

It's really basic : replace Will by a female movie star and reevaluate "her" reaction.

This is a total clash of *memes.

Shit oh howdy.

Where the bloody hell did I use the word "homophobe" in the video description?

And he didn't try to kiss him on the mouth, he went for his cheek, which is the culture in France, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and many other countries. Will said he went for his mouth, but he didn't. At least, I didn't see it. He kissed him on the cheek.

What is interesting to me is that the first description I wrote did use the word "homophobe" but then I removed it. Because it was too strong. Will Smith does promote gay marriage. He clearly isn't a homophobe.

And -- man, did he react strongly to being kissed by a man. Instinctively. As an American man, not as a French man, or a Saudi. I don't believe a French man or a Saudi would have slapped a man who kissed him. I don't think that Will Smith would slap a woman who kissed him on the cheek. But he is an American man and there are strong boundary issues between American men.

You can be angry at me for pointing that out. It doesn't make it any less true.

What I find remarkable -- as I noted in the video description -- is how difficult it must be to be a celebrity and people want to touch you. Hug you. And yes, kiss you. That takes courage to allow all these strangers into your personal space like that. Will Smith is a courageous man who respects his fans and allows them into his personal space.

And he reacted instinctively as an American man when kissed by a man.

Man, it is sooooo tiring to be accused of things I don't do. Tiring.

>> ^longde:

Reading the trolling video description, I really wish I would have downvoted.
Not wanting to be kissed on the mouth by a perfect stranger makes one a homophobe? Not being gay = homophobia? Just like with your "saying 'girl' makes you a sexist" shtick, you are drawing the lines too tightly.
