Stephen's Tribute To Antonin Scalia

kingmob jokingly says...

He does show the teaching of John Stewart.

Many people do not know but many of the troupe of The Daily Show with John Stewart will go onto form the long awaited third chapter of the Bible. And these champions are John Stewarts disciples. Part Jedi part empathy.

OMG The sarcasm filter is ON.
I didn't know....I didn't say that.

Bill Maher: The United States of You Don’t Wanna Know

Lawdeedaw says...

Except that his message isn't effective. John Stewart, that is effective.

His messages wouldn't be as effective.

Rubbing people the wrong way is the best way to get attention.

Without his abrasive style, he would never have gained his platform/s.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Student Debt

Lawdeedaw says...

And @newtboy I agree with John Stewart and many others such as Karl Marx and people who know what they are talking about. We are consumerists, we fall for the bullshit TV ads, otherwise they would not be a billion dollar industry. We place our desktops and laptops and IPhones well above other considerations. We, and I mean Americans in case you obviously did not know I was talking about my own peeps, are consumerists.

Marx noted the bourgeoisie use these kind of trappings to placate the masses. He noted that for a reason that holds true even to this day.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Student Debt

Lawdeedaw says...

Our entire system is entirely stupid but the point of frugality is much more than what you noted Redsky. I agree that students should not have to have demanding jobs that destroy their leisure time; leisure in the academic sense of course. I also agree with what you say except one important American detail.

If we have more to spend we spend more, and more, and more. The American ideal is the new IPad and IPhone. More debt. The American ideal of college is beer pong and fast cars. Pussy and dick. More debt. Our ideal is NOT learning. Not on average. Fuck, John Stewart and John Oliver have harped on this shit over and over again in reference to the above class snot-nosed brats--but when it is about poor people bettering themselves, oh, we can't make fun of them. Even if they do it identically to the higher classes.

If you're studying something like engineering, there is a high likelihood that you will retain employment that will pay off a student loan over the next 10-20 years. Even if it's not your first preference, you will be employed somewhere with a reasonable income with such technical skills.

The government can play a useful role in amortizing your income. There's really no reason to be frugal and Starbucks aside, policy that forces you to work long hours in a dead-end job while studying to make ends meet is counter-productive as it reduces your long-term income. Not being able to even enrol because you're too poor, despite how smart you may be is also hugely destructive. This is why study assistance subsidies are such good policy. Them aside, you still have to clothe, house and feed yourself anyway.

Even if you say that there will be dropouts, fails, people who complete degrees with no job demand, you simply adjust up the interest rate you charge everyone for student debt to account for that loss. Then you have a mandatory contribution from any income you make above X amount that the student has to repay after they conclude their study. This way students can't simply retain a large debt with a low interest rate forever and subsidise everyone else by paying theirs off.

Also to incentivise correct course choice, you subsidise courses with skills in short supply/in demand more than those with good job prospects and a generally high expected income.

This is pretty much what we have in Australia under the HECS system.

It would be great if the US had something similar (because designed well it pays for itself), but the cultural obsession much of the country seems to have with total laissez faire, 'pull yourself up by your own bootstraps', even when it's not good policy makes it impossible.

Considering right now US Treasury bond rates (government borrowing rates) are at 60 year lows, it's doubly stupid.

Jonah Hill and Morgan Freeman Share Awkward Moment

Xaielao says...

One of the reasons I enjoy this show is because of the regular, shoot-the-shit kind of talk between celebs. Same with The Daily Show.

Most of us are used to canned 7 minute 'pre-approved' questions interjected with a not-that-funny story and a 30 second clip that is modern american late night talk shows. I mean the reason John Stewart has won so many concurrent Emmies is because he actually interviews like a real person and not a robot, he gets the meat of the topic, the interesting stuff. It's just so much less 'scripted'. Sure Graham Norton has the 'not-so-funny stories and the one liners but his show often involves a more casual dynamic between the guests. It's something I'd much like to see on US late night.

Jon Stewart VS Megyn Kelly and Fox News

Lawdeedaw says...

Skin color > than ethnic/religious/sexual orientation. Jews are treated white over black people. If we cannot understand this we don't understand true racism. (Yes, millions of Jews were killed in the Holocaust and in many other atrocities, but if there had been blacks in their place, blacks would have taken priority.)

So yeah, I would say Jesus was white. A white Jew, like John Stewart perhaps. Now he wasn't Anglo American, that's for sure.

"Jesus was white"

Ha ha ha. Funny 'merrycans are funny.

Cops tazed father trying to save son?

Lawdeedaw says...

Never said your problem was that you "think." I reflected your idea that I don't let you think before adding my basis. Your problem is that my "thinking", or the "basised" writing on the subject is invalid. That was my opinion. If it affected yours, oh well. As you said, I am like every human being.

And this facts bs is really making me peeved. You watched the Daily Show where we agree 100%. But did John Stewart provide proof and facts about the FBI report? Did he link them? No, 100% not. He just said a bunch of bullshit that we kind of trust (So much so that we upvote.)

And yet his "basis" is not questioned...

Yogi said:

The problem is I think? You can't not think before watching something, it has a title so you automatically assume things based on the title. So what you're accusing me of is what every human does.

So no I am not wrong to criticize you on how biased your description is. I was pulling you up and it and informing you that your description was not needed. Perhaps next time you could include some facts or research instead of your personal musings.

12 Year Old Publicy Schools NC Governor

Lawdeedaw says...

Being unable to vote is not the same thing as being denied the right to vote. Saying a three year old is a suffragist is kind of...well, silly. But it's true based on the idea that she is "denied the right to vote."

Because the definition is so broad, it really means NOTHING at all (As John Stewart said, "When you amplify everything, you hear nothing." The definition as you use it is the same vein.)

Are corporations, declared real people by the supreme court, suffragists. Publix maybe, but not Walmart! (That was facetious, not intended to be sarcastic.)

For example Jigga, we are both poor suffragists because we can't vote--in the Iraqi elections. Poor us, being held back. I don't apply suffragist to reasonable expectations. You should have to be a citizen of the country you vote in. A certain age (Which doesn't imply you should or should not be allowed to pre-register...) A certain mental capacity (Ie., not in a coma. Ie., have the ability to spell capacity and not "compacity," like I apparently cannot do )

I do think tests on intellect make for suffragists. I do think gender and gender identification make for suffragists. I do think religious bias makes for suffragists. I do think being arrested and paying for your time yet being released and unable to vote makes for suffragists.

I don't think this girl in any way shape or form is a suffragist.

JiggaJonson said:

To be a suffragist, one only has to be denied the right to vote. Being sexually humiliated, beaten, lynched, or arrested shouldn't be a prerequisite to complaining about wanting to vote and being disenfranchised.

And restating an argument as a counterpoint doesn't dictate who a person is. They said she was a prop, she said she wasn't.

It'd be like me saying "Lawdeedaw is a centaur." "No I'm not." "THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT A CENTAUR WOULD SAY!"
