@Throbbin. I know Denmark (speaking of them because they're the Leftist utopia for welfare programs and high taxation) lacks cultural diversity, meaning they're not a melting pot. Think about that connection for a second. They enjoy high taxation, they enjoy sweeping and comprehensive social programs, and they do so by closing their borders, right? [of course barring tourism] I'd probably say the same goes for any nation ranking highly on the HDI report you mentioned earlier.

I don't necessarily think Westernized countries need immigration for "stability" (as illustrated with Denmark and others), however I do think immigration leads to growth in prosperity and ingenuity. What anti-immigration people don't get is that the people who migrate into their country aren't "taking their jobs", but rather through assimilation they create jobs by renting or buying homes, maintenance on their property, buying food, going to the theater, etc. If given the freedom to do so, they can also be great American inventors!

I also disagree with the welfare state because it can cause a generations of people to be lazy (from abundance to complacency). I can say that safely because I see it directly with people on a Native American reservation. It's not just that some group of white people are stepping on their throats, but rather that the Native Americans live solely for that welfare check. It's sad. They also learn from previous generations that they need to stay on the reserve, and this continues the cycle.

They learn from the previous generations to have abusive and addictive personalities. Usually that means child abuse (which happens way too much), alcoholism, drug addiction and gambling. The parents use their children to get more welfare. And their homes are riddled with toxic black mold, the kids have one pair of clothing (everything else they owned is either stolen or pawned), etc. etc. It's just plain awful. Awful.

We're afraid for family members who are stuck on those reservations, and especially the younger ones who have barely escaped sexual abuse. Who knows if they've already been sexually abused or not? And we watch as those young boys turn into the men they resented that stole from them and gambled away their personal property (clothing, video games, etc.). I would love to see that welfare system yanked from under them tomorrow, so each of them must learn self-reliance. It would certainly help the kids, maybe not the old and stubborn.

I'm sure you'd disagree.

Great hack kp:) my first reaction was VS 3.3. was having some initial hickups:), then I found out about the non-interactivity of it..

With so many votes the site would be like digg..glad the pace here is still manageable somehow (I think the pace is already too high but hey, there are many videos/members out there)..

My first sift?

It was interesting to see how the inventor was almost unanimously qualified as insane..and it was kind of sad to see the jury and producers reacting in such a way to his presentation..
It was kind of a test submission..a bit later da serious sifting (coming out) began;)

Ah, this reminds me of my first sift

That guy and these two should team up and do stand up comedy sketches while being their selves and believing in their selves, no matter what.

Mysterious Girl - Peter André

Fool again - Westlife

No, I mean the Black Cougar.

American Inventor was originally created in Japan, and i think the British took the idea and then others from there.
American Idol and America's Got Talent were both created by the British.

Hey, that's my first (and discarded) post ever on the sift!
http://www.videosift.com/video/American-Inventor-Exciting-bicycle-wheels-presentation
this time it'll be sifted..

At the time we had a discussion on the classification of this clip. I agree with doogle with regard to the channels. At the time I classified it only as "geek".

No downvotes?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

You know - with so many people opting for "furry kids" as a replacement for actual, human children- I'm surprised that houses aren't built now with "pet toilets". It would be some kind of ground level toilet that makes it easy for your pets. Surely a dog could be trained to use something at ground level?

It could be huge - look for me on the next American Inventors with the new Poochurinal™

I think this woman was on American Inventor. She didn't get picked as I recall.

Hehe. Put Homer on American Inventor!

Staged crazy, and so f-ing uncomfortable. I don't like the combination of reality show and pure acting hell. Come on! Wheel covers for bikes have been around since the nineties. They must've just threw this guy on to boost ratings... "Whoa did you see the crazy guy on American Inventor last night?" I don't buy it or like it.

I'd upvote if it had been titled "crazed delusional psycho on american inventor"

Love the head bag...the blurb
American Inventor Spot has a list of 10 purses they claim to be manly enough that a guy wouldn’t feel embarrassed holding them. The purse above, created by Yael Mer to look like it contains a severed human head (eek!), is #9 on their list.

If it's so damn mannish then why does the model show a wo-man????!!!
Head-Bag...on x-mas list...

Heh, this reminds me of American Inventors.

Heh, I remember this from American Inventor last year. I hope season 2 is better.
