I liked the cello too. I thought the video as a whole was close to being very good, but didn't quite keep it up. Someone in the yt comments thought there was too much cello!

In reply to this comment by alien_concept:
Upvote for the cello, I'm a sucker for it. I don't particularly like her, but I know someone who does, I'll pass it on

Pfffft, there is no such thing!

Gerald Cohen - Against Capitalism

GenjiKilpatrick says...

@bobknight33

Please. It's time to unplug from the matrix.

1. You've avoid addressing the lack of morality inherent to Capitalism itself.

Free markets work because self interest has the potential to benefit others.

However, this is not Pleasantville and no CEO makes decisions based how many kittens will be adopted because of it.

Your company got the waiver cause it cuts cost. They have domestic partner benefits because it keeps their employees happy.

Basic Macroeconomics. Lower cost + higher efficiency = greater productivity = more profit.

Morality has not a thing to do with corporate policies. If it did, your CEO would pay you the salary you rightful help create in profits. He doesn't.

[It's called profit-sharing & horizontal organization. Look it up]

2. You folded on this one pretty quickly don't you think?

"BLARG! You see what you get when you don't vote tyrants out of office!"

"Unless of course you get stuck with a tyrant anyway via supreme court decision.. then oh well, just deal with it. life is tough."
~~~

Lastly..
The United States of America is a Corporation.
The only service it provides is force.

It takes things that it no one owns to provide things no one needs.
It doesn't create any resources.
It doesn't produce any products.

It is dependent on the consumer. No consumer no profit.

Hence why it indoctrinates its citizen with the idea the capitalism is the best.

You've been indoctrinated to think that capitalism is fair..
So that you'll be tricked into thinking that statism is fair..
Plain and simple.

Unplug from your indoctrinated status quo prison, bobknight.
You'll have helped ever human born after you by doing so. =]

Louis CK - Videogames, TV, Nutrition

Fuck you! Fuckin' hippie!

Agree with him... as a father of four, I agree with him.
Now... I'm not of the school of 'no tv, no video games, no fast food'... but I am of the school of IN MODERATION!
And any time one of the kids shows signs of being a little dependant on the video games, it's unplugged and put away for a week or more.
I fricken HATE the biscuits (BBQ shapes, pizza shapes, all that sort of thing) which you can just smell as soon as you open a box of them. The ridiculously overpowering smell of flavour enhancer 621, chemicals, chemicals, chemicals.
Our kids love fruit, there's always a bowl, we have 2 plum trees, an apple and a lemon tree and are growing our first crop of veggies in our veggie patch. Our kids always have a selection of raw vegetables with their meals.
When I see parents who always give their kids cordial or soft drink, or... oh this annoys me... if they give them milk they always add flavour to it, so it's strawberry or chocolate milk... ARGH! WATER and Milk are the two drinks our kids get at home.
But yeah, not militant on the TV or games etc, I have great fun sitting down with the kids to watch a movie, or playing a Wii game with them. I had those experiences as a kid, so why shouldn't they? But I also had time limits, as do they.

How much of the population would u estimate treats their kids like this though?
The sad fact is the major determining factor in who will win the survival war is reproductive rates.

Oh, absolutely, he's bang on about the vast majority of parents, and it makes me very sad.

Also, I know I do let them watch too much tv and play too much Wii, even though we limit as much as we do... I still feel they need to be using them less. I have a friend who has a couple of young kids, and they have no TV in the house. Those kids are fricken amazing with what they can already do. One is just starting kindergarten and has already read the first two Harry Potter books and is attempting to compose things on her violin. The other hasn't even started kinder and is already writing such that you can actually work out what words they are supposed to be.

Just stunning stuff, and sure, I know that after a few years kids kind of all level out and catch up on those basic reading/writing things, but it's amazing how much further ahead kids can be when those things are really full on nurtured by the parents.

Still, in our house I completely refuse to give them Nintendo DS's... so many of their friends all have them, and they spend so much time on them... ALL the time. Man, it's just wrong. My kids have pestered us for them, but no, no way will they be getting anything like that until they are old enough to buy one for themselves. And they are also never getting TVs or computers in their rooms either.

The eldest of my kids is 7, and friends of his and younger have DS's and TVs/DVD players in their rooms etc. It's just so very, very unnecessary.

If there was only the option of what most kids have today and just cutting off TV/Video games, I'd be on the side of cutting them off entirely.

Jonathan Coulton performs Code Monkey Unplugged

budzos says...

>> ^gwiz665:

No, I haven't really seen G4 at all, apart from the odd Olivia Munn eating a sausage or massaging a sausage or somehow handling a sausage on the sift.
>> ^budzos:
Gwiz u ever watch the Code Monkeys show from G4? It's the only 8-bit sprite art show on TV that I'm aware of. Basically South Park in an 80s game studio. I loved that shit when it was new circa 2007.



Check it out on Youtube or what not. I wouldn't recommend anything else on G4 unless you can time travel back to 2001 and watch Attack of the Show.
