Troll animation - Socks with Sandals
I have never understood the ravenous opposition to socks with sandals. Sure, I agree that it's not very pretty, and I prefer to use my sandals barefooted. But unlike any other fashion statement, this is the only one I know that has a fundamentalist touch. People seem to take it as a personal affront if you so much as put on your sandals without removing your socks for 3 minutes while you take out the trash.

Uh, it gets cool in the Fall, hellooooo.
Yeah but I see people doing it in the middle of summer when it's 80+ out there, and if it's getting cold then maybe it's a subtle hint that Birkenstock season is over. I live in Minnesota where year round sandal wearing is not recommended.

Really, whats the point of a low-cut neckline if you're not looking to show a little cleavage? This and people who wear socks under their sandals, I just don't get it.

TED - Hans Rosling on Global Population Growth
>> ^Sniper007:
He's assuming limited global population is the desired outcome. It just so happens that limiting your population growth is what will take the blue box to below the 'sandal people'. The tremendous economic growth has risen and fallen in the US following exactly in line with the demographic phenomenon called the baby boom. Now that the baby boomers are leaving the work force, the entire US financial house of cards is falling.
This guy has NO CLUE what he's talking about. Wealth is CREATED by humanity. If you limit humanity's growth, you limit wealth's growth.
If he's worried about 'climate change', then he should realize that it's not the number of people, but their behavior which (potentially) affects that. In FACT, there are humans which by living their lives (ironically, in a lifestyle manner not unlike the 'sandal people') have a POSITIVE effect on their local climates, and thus the global climate (sic).
A widely held but incorrect view. Limited global population MUST be the desired outcome or humans will exceed the carrying capacity of the Earth. Relying on the promise of new technologies is a naive recipe for possible disaster.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrying_capacity
If you want to talk assumption, you're assuming that maximum relative wealth is the desired outcome. Pretty selfish, eh?
Baby boomers leaving the workforce is really only a problem because of Social Security and health care costs and an unbalanced worker to retiree ratio. That ratio will change over time and we'll probably have a period of austerity as it changes back to something resembling equilibrium. The baby boom being correlated with economic growth/decline is really not proof that increased population causes increased wealth. There are many other factors involved which have nothing to do with population.
Wealth is obviously not directly tied to population, or the United States wouldn't have vastly higher wealth with such a relatively low population density compared to the rest of the world. If you mean overall world wealth, perhaps that's true, since more people = more work = more promises to pay back debts, but when you're talking about a closed loop system, it's all relative. So, if you take the view that more world population means more poor people for rich countries to exploit, that would be true, but then you also have to assume infinite resources and an undamageable environment.

Ironic that you say Hans Rosling doesn`t know what he`s talking about. How can 2 billion of the poorest people turning into 4 billion help economic growth? In fact, its one of the factors that perpetuate the cycle of poverty, as limited land is passed down to successive generations. When your small plot of land is divided amongst your 6 children, and they each divide their land amongst each of their 6 children, it does not help your condition one bit.
Also, sure an individual from a developed nation choosing to live frugally (like the 'sandal people') may result in a net positive effect on their local climate by reducing their individual carbon footprint. However, an additional 2 billion 'sandal people' will significantly increase our environmental impact through increased demand and things like deforestation.

Wealth is not created by humanity's growth. Much of the financial "wealth" of the last century was created by banks and bankers. Money is a very misunderstood concept. http://videosift.com/video/What-is-money
In relation to population growth and the environment Rosling's concern is that the trend of rising economies is that they tend to adopt the behavior of the economic state they rise towards, i.e. trading in bicycles for volvos. He states point blank that technologies should be developed so that these people can choose to use electric volvos rather than diesel ones, and thus curb behavior to have a reduced environmental impact.

Capturing Somali Pirates, First Person Shooter View
>> ^vaporlock:
Not like the pirates of old. No sandals and orange swim trunks on Blackbeard's crew.
Yeah they are mainly poor fishers who lost their job because of overfishing by western corporations.
Funnily, that overfishing is also the main cause of poaching of endangered species on the main land of africa.
To put it simple: Those guys simply get taken away their main food source (yes, thats fishing) and then people wonder why they try the criminal way.
This world is fucking nuts...

The problem with being the fat kid at the skate park
Seems like it's partially a traction problem... don't wear sandals to the skate park kids.
US Soldier Exposes American Policy
>> ^Skeeve:
"They're not terrorists, they're wearing sandals." Just one of many reasons not to listen to this guy. He says he was "ordered to kill innocent people" and I can understand that the urge to follow orders can be strong, but it is a soldier's duty to refuse and report an unlawful order, and that is definitely an unlawful order.
He deserted the army and has helped others go AWOL and calls for more soldiers to resist. As a soldier myself I find this attitude disgusting. America has an all-volunteer army. No one forced him to join. You can't become a pacifist or a conscientious objector after actively seeking a job in which you might have to kill people.
This guy is just another undereducated soldier speaking about things beyond his understanding.
As for his obsession with Iraq and 9/11... no one really believes they have anything to do with each other anymore do they? Iraq was an idiotic move by Bush and his cronies to finish what Bush Sr. started.
Mate. Killing innocents isn't something your personal generalizations/sentiments are able to justify/downgrade/trvialize to a large portion of the worlds population. Sounds like you are a good soldier, I can't fault you for that. Sounds like the above guy is a good human being, I definitely can't fault him for that...

The D.O.C. - Whirlwind Pyramid
Parental discrestion is advised when the D.O.C. gets candid
To move like a one-armed bandit
Arrange the tempo when I go solo
The beat and the cut to a rhyme, and it's oh so
Raw, cause you want to jam, then you go "Damn he's good"
And you're right cause I am
And I'm strong, strong enough to reach them
They said they wanna learn, so I'm a teach them
Amplified by a microphone, my point it known
So yo, leave the pad at home
I'm down with the sound so much that I can feel it
If there's a deal to be dealt, then I'll deal it
I'm on a roll, that's word to the father
Chumps want to break, but I tell 'em I don't bother
Char the memory of all who saw the
Last of the concerned, I burn like lava
So in sum you break, you broke it
And I'm smiling, but not joking
Secrets are told, fold but never did
With the knowledge as strong as a whirlwind pyramid
It was mandatory, a righteous editorial
Cause my sport is like part of a memorial
Knowing the whole I was told through a pole
I have the juice to make vinyl gold
Servent at your service, never nervous
Why am I claiming The Great? Cause I deserve this
Title is vital, I receive directly
So I don't have to deal with suckers trying to check
T-R to the A-Y, do they have to be warned? Just try
And I'll start crushing without discussion
Checking the crowd with the rhymes I'm busting
Cool, a quality I have to mention
Gaining with the dope comprehension
I move the corwd, so I make it my bid
Pop the lid, yeah, see a whirlwind pyramid
Hold it, you're a step off the pace, so catch up
And if you're sitting get your black ass up
Dance to the rhythm, let it move your pants
And if you don't dance I assume you can't
And as the crowd, steadily expanding
So move, cause I don't want to see you standing
You're in the way, so hey you gotta step
Left right, I don't give a damn, just jet
As you leave the party in the light you can see body
Everybody, but you're a toasting Maseratti
Cause you don't want to handle the scandal
Physical abuse cause you're as drunk as Tony Randall
And it's a gamble, I mean I've heard you ramble
On and on but you get worn like a sandal
They said "Get raw" and I did then I slid to the back
And hid behind a whirlwind pyramid
Black Men Can Jump
I'm more impressed he can get away with wearing socks with sandals
most white folk can't pull that off
