If only we could invent some sort of machine to give us more foresight.
I'd say the real disease isn't ignorance, its apathy. I mean, everybody knows we are fucked right but the way people go about their everyday life almost convinces you that they don't feel the same way. Willful ignorance perhaps?


It's everything.

It's a lack of involvement in the world people find themselves in. It's a lack of curiosity about it and themselves. It's a lack of critical thinking or the desire to come to your own conclusions. It's a lack of will to engage in autodidacticism and take control of your own mind and future. It's a refusal to take responsibility for yourself, for your community, for your species, for the part you're playing in it all. It's the lack of will to care.

It's an almost nihilistic, deeply cowardly need to be an intellectual fucking pygmy, because otherwise it's just too damn hard, and people would have trouble getting to sleep at night.

FAKE! Everybody knows Steve Jobs is not going to Heaven...he's going somewhere else...he's going down below...




...the Earth about 6 ft.



Just kidding, Steve jobs is going to burn...



...so that his ashes may be place in an urn.

So defacing or destroying books is a good thing?

I would just remove the whole old testament. Just so everybody knows if they want to do the whole, "...we only use the New Testament now!", we can make sure they're not lying--which I think they usual are (... coughs creationism coughs ...).
To be honestly blunt.
/Good show Sir Ian; it truly bugs me for some reason that they feel compelled to put THAT in all the rooms. Not only does it cheapen it (which is fine and everything), but it's a mockery to everyone that doesn't follow it--which is a large amount of the world's population.
//I know they still use some of the OT, but it's fun to pull strings sometimes

Mother away from her kids for more than five minutes, and probably shacking up with fellow protestors! Shame shame, everybody knows your name!
Meanwhile the wealthy hire people to look after their kids, and who knows how much time they actually spend with them.


You're too kind. I just can't get over how they've zeroed in on this one person and gotten super petty about it. And as Olbermann mentions in another video, the usual right wing suspects are trying a number of discrediting tactics, all lame of course.

He's thinking, "But--that means he kissed his sister!"


No, everybody knows that leia kissed first .... Damn I hate this nerd side of the brain.

i call bullshit. everybody knows that a cat would have to throw themselves off the roof 9 times before becoming dead.

Yeah, you're right.. These guys are clearly lying. In fact, they're not even fire fighters! They're actors working on scale.. (how else would they know what it's like to be on a movie set?)
>> ^EvilDeathBee:
I dunno about you guys, but i'm convinced. This is such a conspiracy, there is no other explanation at all.

Everybody knows that an approaching tornado sounds like an oncoming locomotive. And a path of destruction it leaves behind also looks like a train plowed through. Shouldn't there also be a claim that it's a conspiracy and they are hiding all the rogue trains while blaming tornadoes?

These firefighters might not be lying or actors, but I would not necessary take their post-traumatic descriptions of the event as facts. They just lived through perhaps their most extreme experience of their lives with 2 giant buildings collapsing around them. While they might be trained and have experience with fires, nobody there had any training or preparation or prior experience on how an 110 story building hit by a plane would collapse and what it would sound and feel like.

When the south tower started collapsing i was standing at exactly 40.705426,-74.004928 that was literally in front of the an entrance to our office building(it was demolished since). When it started collapsing from my vantage point it looked like the top simply toppled over. That was my experience of the event. Was it accurate? No. But everybody on the street at that time saw it that way.

observational comedy is not a new thing. What the likes of Louis CK, Bill Burr, etc. do that's kind of different than "what's the deal with airline peanuts...I mean coooome ON" type of comedy, is they're honest about their everyday lives. They don't try to pander to what everybody knows, they tell what they know and either you can relate it to your life, or you can laugh at their life.
