Whoever put that shit in the fridge needs to be the recipient of a lobotomy - or probably already has been.

God stopped talking to people once lobotomies and thorazine were invented.

Baloney. This kind of bull only makes sense to conspiracy theorists and people with lobotomies. There is no such thing as a magical mixture of air and fuel that will miraculously give cars 300MPG efficiency. Nor is it possible to give cars 100MPG, 50MPG, or anything else. The levels they are talking about are only possible under test conditions that cannot be duplicated in actual use. Sure, if you were on a 5 mile straightaway track with no wind, a perfect temperature, no traffic, no need to brake, a fixed MPH, and all the time in the world to accelerate REALLY slowly, coast when you want, no passengers, no air conditioning, and a dozen other favorable conditions... SURE you could probably achieve 75MPG or maybe even 100 under those conditions. Know what? You could probably get 75 to 100 MPG out of your CURRENT car under that kind of artificial circumstance (BTW that is called "Hypermiling"). But take that OPEL P-1 and put a family of 4 in it, a full load of groceries, in the middle of summer with air conditioning, on a windy day, in the middle of stop-and-go traffic and I bet it couldn't get 20 MPG. Wake up. There is no conspiracy. Auto companies aren't trying to 'bury' technology. The simple fact is that the technology does NOT exist on this planet in this dimension that will allow super-efficient MPG under REAL LIFE driving conditions. DUH!

hey - thanks for that. You left the chat room before I could finish my long-winded reply.

I edited the tags on your vid - replaced 'MRI' and 'CT' with 'SPECT', the type of imaging they were using. It's a variant of PET imaging. And I added alcohol to the list of drugs. Gotta have alcohol.

I didn't want to vote for it at first, because there were a couple of bits of misinformation. But the brain channel needs all it can get - and the vid does describe brain function and neuropathology. The bit about the reduced motivation due to decreased temporal lobe activity really struck me the most. I won't say it's completely wrong, but motivation is primarily a function of the frontal lobes (think R. P. McMurphy after his frontal lobotomy).

Anyway, thanks for the contribution - I'm having a hard enough time just getting folks to go through their sifted vids to add to the channel. I wonder if my choice was a little too narrow. Maybe I'll pull a choggie and give the channel to nibiyabi to run more broadly and I'll create another.

I shopped for your channel this morning. http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Effects-of-Drugs-On-the-Brain

I'm sure "Tucker Bounds" is just his first and middle names. His last name? Palin.

I love politics, but I hate politicians. Especially at a time like this.

>> ^spoco2:
Tucker Bounds? That's a name now? Really, doesn't the type of spokesman a campaign have show an awful lot about the campaign itself? LOOK AT HIM! LISTEN TO HIM! The man sits there with a look like he's had a partial lobotomy, and just spouts off party line bullshit. These people are picked by their ability to either spew forth crap they know to be false with a straight face, or be so ignorant that they actually believe it to be true.
Look, the majority of people cannot be expected to understand economics or international relations or the like to such a level that they can actually 100% understand who's policy is the best.
BUT
What they should be able to do is look at what each party is saying and see whether that stands up to basic reasoning and their own held beliefs in how a country should be run.
THEN they SHOULD be able to have the media call out politicians on every lie they spout, and do so in a simple way, like this. Then people should start to think 'hmmm, if a party is counting a refueling stop in a country as some sort of diplomatic excursion, perhaps they're not telling the truth on many other things?', 'Perhaps if the running person doesn't know the difference between 20% of energy creation and below 4%, maybe she knows squat', 'Perhaps if McCain is saying he's going to be this 'Maverick', and yet has a party largely composed of lobbyists, then maybe he's just lying through his rich as f ck teeth'.
It's just a whole swag of AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH from me, as I watch this sort of utter tripe pour forth from their mouths and millions of people lapping it up as wholesome, good nourishment.
Wake up... wake the f ck up.

Ann Coulter's existence hurts my brain. No, seriously, every time I hear her voice I black out, and wake up with a new lobotomy.

If I see this shit one more time I'm gonna have to get a lobotomy.

>> ^NordlichReiter:
Why are the politicians so go damned stupid. Condie is an idiot to say that, so is McCain.
Come to think of that, hes going to be kicking himself for letting dizzies like "bomb bom bom" or "nations don't invade other nations" slip out like dribble from his morning lobotomy.


Only if people hear them. I still have doubts whether the Dems will run TV ads with those gems.

I hope they do. Raising the level of civil discourse isn't worth letting this man convince people he's "safe".

And i thought a frontal lobotomy would be painful...

But whom among Whitey will vote for Obama?

White-Guilt Whitey
government school "educator" Whitey
Liberal Whitey
Ultraliberal Whitey
Gay Whitey
Ghey Whitey
Socialist Whitey
Communist Whitey
Hippie Whitey
Lobotomy Whitey
Affirmative-Action Whitey
kollij activist Whitey
Muslim Whitey
Half-Whitey
Oprah

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than have a frontal lobotomy.

For every up vote $5 will be donated towards getting Kyle that much needed lobotomy.

^apologies to anyone with a frontal lobotomy who does not understand the joke.
