Makes it look like WoW players are incapable of normal conversation. Anybody who tries to use jargon to talk to somebody who doesn't play the game is an idiot, regardless of whether they are a gamer or not. Some of us have college degrees and normal full-time jobs.
Plus, "LFM 25 nex 2 more tanks 2 more DKs" does NOT mean "I need help". It means "We're trying to put together a team of twenty-five people to attack the Nexus. We need two more people who will hold the enemy's attention and two more Death Knights."
And "kek" is not how you laugh, it's an in-joke.
And only real assholes use QQ. It's for cold-hearted taunting of other players.
And I've never heard anybody referred to as a Timmy. Maybe that's just a joke on his server.
All in all, this report is full of dumb shit that might be funny if it was directed at gamers instead of non-gamers.


I guess I'm an asshole because I tell people to go QQ all the time. And kek, from my experience, evolved from a cross-faction joke into normal conversation.

I've heard of Timmys, but that's because I've spent more hours on the forums than I care to remember. If I remember correctly, that leaked in from some "other" strange culture.

All in all, this video is funny to me as parody; have you ever seen the media display our "rich culture" as anything other than insipid, immoral or, in this case, moronic?

Python is like some secret society of nerds. Meet someone new you spout off something random like "I will not buy this record, it is scratched." Either they think you're strange or they reply back "Would you like to go back to my place bouncy bouncy?" and immediatly you have something you can talk about and enjoy.

Does anybody know which secret society in particular he was talking about, or was this a generalized plea for a more transparent government?

I don't particularly understand the lashing out at 9/11 truthers. I don't think at this time they have evidence to back up their claims, but unlike the UFO believers, there's nothing particularly outlandish that they're suggesting.

They lied about WMD and links to Al Qaeda to get us into Iraq, why not lie about the specifics of 9/11 itself?

Given the way the Bushies lapped up the aftermath, it wouldn't surprise me if 9/11 turned out to be done with American help -- possibly even with the President or Vice President's knowledge, or on their order, or on their boss's order (call 'em whatever secret society name ya like).

Nothing in any of that seems impossible to me, and now, 7 years past that event, I find myself much more inclined to believe those outlandish claims than I did 9/12/01.

That said, nothing in this video seems particularly damning to me. The "second Pearl Harbor" comment being said by "some Senators" is no surprise, the entire Republican party gets talking points fed to them on every topic, and PNAC had people embedded in the press (William Kristol), and the White House (Donald Rumsfeld) that were eager to frame the attack in that way: a surprise attack that leads to a long, globally scoped military conflict.

Music to the Military-Industrial complex's ears.

would it hurt to give this video a description?

I put some things down on this video, and linked to his wiki. Also put some other conspiracy like stuff down there. This videos subject has been going on for a long time, since the 1950s. Apparently the society of fraternal police and other organizations like that are on to this sort of thing. You can be sure that most police and agencies of the like do not favor secret societies, one reason is because they are just nosey. Another reason is because they want to know what the hell an organization is up to.

One thing I have noticed is that the FBI NSA CIA, dont have very good communication between each other. Its like the cubicle's versus the field agents. They don't "like" each other now that they all work for DHS, and they step on each others toes all the time.

Conspiracy theories of an omnipotent power behind catastrophic events and hints about secret societies, based on the presence of commonly occurring geometric shapes... *sigh*

While I do certainly agree that a relative minority seem to have an unhealthy amount of power for otherwise normal human beings, the sinister embodiments listed above have taken root in the public mind without any real proof or fact. The absence of evidence is not proof of existence and the burden lies upon the theorist to produce as much, before people should lend them any credence.

At best, I would hope that these theories are taken as a kind of metaphor for the broad controls big government and influential corporate interests, than anything tactile. Hunting aimlessly for some single entity that isn't there, guided only by the vivid imaginations of those who have connected a few dots, does nothing to wrest back the control of the populace over its own destiny.

Bush, Blair, Brown and their Neocons successfully used the tactics of fear after Sept. 11th to win control because of an aloof and uninformed public. A public that did nothing to prevent them... I'm talking about the generations of people before them that did nothing to stop the powerful proposing bad legislation, enacting self-centered foreign policy and creating a monstrous military complex.

It's not a handful of sinister plotters that invade a country, or erode civil liberties. All it needs is an apathetic public who doesn't notice/mind it's being lead around, so long as they can watch their sports and put on their make-up. While the rich and powerful to become moreso.

Well, *lies for the fact that the video is pretty much entirely about lying from politicians, and *comedy for the faces of them pasted onto people dancing.

Unless, you thought politicians were truthful, and that this video didn't make them look ridiculous?

I think *dark and *fear are still appropriate, too. It paints a pretty bleak picture, and certainly is an example of using fear to make a point.

Then again what do I know? I'm totally delusional, because I'm not wearing a tinfoil hat and blubbering in fear of the Illuminati.

Elevating those organizations into some sort of pseudo-mythological secret society that's successfully taking over the world doesn't help stop them. If you wanted to seek to legitimize your position, you'd back it up with some sort of documentation, not a video that just superimposes pictures of politicians with the names of the organizations, and nuclear bombs going off while they dance.

PNAC for example, is quite real, and is promoting military imperialism in the U.S., but frankly, that's like trying to promote TV watching in the U.S.; there's already big support for that school of thought. If you want to stop imperialism, find a candidate who's against it, and promote them.

I'm not sure how anti-imperialist Obama really is, but everything he says, and his published foreign policy positions indicate he would not increase America's imperialism (by invading Iran), and would reduce it slightly with a withdrawl from Iraq.

If he turns out to be an imperialist warmonger after all, I'll be 100% for impeaching him, and promoting another candidate in 2012.

Sitting this election out because of a conspiracy theory is just what PNAC wants someone like you to do.

I'm a motorcyclist, and I've spent the last 5 weeks at home recovering from a shunt with a hit-and-run driver. Motorcycling is, in my opinion, the absolute best way to travel. Being out in the open air, becoming one with a powerful machine-it's a beautiful feeling of control and synergy, seeing things that you'll never see while surrounded by a steel cage, smelling your surroundings- fantastic. When you ride a motorcycle you belong to an elite secret society. All motorcyclists belong, and like all secret societies, there are rules: you help any stranded motorcyclist-no matter what he's riding, you also have recognition codes (a friendly wave). It's nice to belong.

As exciting as this may seem, he's not doing our club any favors, and in fact is doing the motorcycling fraternity a disservice by endangering himself and others. He's freaking the shit out of the people he's passing at those outrageous speeds thereby making us all look like morons, and he's encouraging other jackasses like himself to take up doing the same thing on our public roads- jackasses who won't have the same obvious skill that he has.

Anyhow, the point of this diatribe is to explain the downvote.

It's always good to be told

everyone stop thinking and go back to spending your 70-80 years on this planet being miserable!

continue working and paying your mortgage, buying your food from supermarkets, and then have children, because we need them to grow up and pay further mortgages, and buy new food from new supermarkets, and have further such children!

anyone up for creating a secret society and buying/converting an island into a low pop. utopia say "aye"

i guarantee we'll have everyone wanting to come before 100 years has passed.. then of course, we'll have to introduce some kind of money system, and we'll need cars to travel the greater land-mass that we now require.. and so on, and so on..

i hate how the world is, but how else can it be? genuine question..

Here's a problem that I've noticed: People don't know or care to know to the true definition of semitic. Please Google "define: semitic" or visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic

People who don't like Arab Muslims are anti-semitic, because it's about race, not religion. If you are of the Jewish faith, that doesn't make you of Semitic heritage and vice versa.

This phrase is such an enormous buzzword for Jewish victims only, it draws away from the Afro/Arab claim to the term, and ultimately blankets over the relevancy and cloaks history of the term with complete misuse and misconception. It is a dangerous trend to ignore ignorance.

If those people on the subway knew not everyone believes as they do, why not keep their ideas to themselves in a public forum? Or, at least be prepared for the consequences of being in public. Go start a secret society or get on internet forums or something, if you want to be truly protected in your speech.

...Unless, of course, your *idea* involves exemplfying a real *ideal*, like being good to your fellow man, like the Muslim did (based on his PARENT'S way of raising him, not necessarily his 'faith' but through that vehicle).. or defeating ignorance.

The serpent isn't "ultimately the devil."

There is a serpent inside of all of us, and it's based within the spine.

And there are secret societies.

This made me laugh out loud. Again and again.

Thanks.
