Gary Clark Jr - This Land

newtboy says...

Paranoid and pissed off
Now that I got the money
Fifty acres and a model A
Right in the middle of Trump country
I told you there goes a neighbourhood
Now mister Williams ain't so funny
I see you looking out your window
Can’t wait to call the police on me
When I know you think I'm up to somethin'
I'm just eating out but still hungry
And this is my analogy
I ain't even near you can't take it from me
I remember when you used to tell me
'Nigga run, nigga run
Go back where you come from
Nigga run, nigga run
Go back where you come from
We don't want, we don’t want your kind
We think you’s a dog born
Fuck you, I'm America’s son
This is where I come from
This land is mine
This land is mine
This land is mine
This land is mine
Up till the sun comes up
No I can't stop grindin'
And I can't let ’em break me
No I can't let 'em find me
You can meet my friend the governor
Only if you wanna try me
Or you can meet my other friend the judge
Just in case you think I'm lyin'
And I know you think I'm up to somethin'
I'm just eating out but still hungry
And this is my analogy
I ain't leaving here you can't take it from me
I remember when you used to tell me
'Nigga run, nigga run
Go back where you come from
Nigga run, nigga run
Go back where you come from
We don't want, we don't want your kind
We think you's a dog born
Fuck you, I'm America's son
This is where I come from
This land is mine
This land is mine
This land is mine
This land is mine
This land is mine

Neil deGrasse Tyson: Space Shuttle was Never About Science

I'm all for science and funding it in order to move our species forward. But we don't get to do it as long as there is a child still hungry or dying in our country from something easily preventable.

By this logic we should never have funded Polio research, as there were still children who were hungry or dying in our country from things that were easily preventable.


If you choose to follow it absurdly than yes. The Shuttle program hasn't saved our lives or improved our living conditions. Is that logic easier?

The U.S. spent ~$70 billion on science funding in 2010. In the same year, it spent nearly 10 times that much on the military. Tell me which is more likely to prevent a child dying from hunger or disease.

Granted, the space program probably* won't do much in that regard, but how about they cut NASA's paltry 18 billion out of the military budget and see what they can do with that?

* and here's the thing. We really don't know what will come out of research until we do it.

JFK on Separation of Church and State

vairetube says...

Completely relevant still. Hungry children. Costly medical care. Educational failings. Space race.

At least you could listen to the man talk. Oh for this level of pandering today... i would even humor them with a vote for such.

Maher: Stop bragging America is #1 and start acting like it

legacy0100 says...

Get out of the whole guilt trip. There's a reason why America is having trouble with too much food. It's because we've invested our time into the right technology. Yes, our politics is crap, and for some reason there are still hungry people in America while we produce enough food for the entire northern continent. But that's politics. America's political decisions are crap and we don't do a good job redistributing the things we have accomplished.

But there are so many technological things in America that's still no.1 in the world. We're the ones going to mars. We're the ones making the best genetically superior crops, computers, best quality education, engineering, construction, bio science, chemical science medical science, etc etc etc.

We have so many no.1 things in this country.

Organizing them and redistributing them in the right manner is another story. That's what Bill Maher chose to focus on, that's what you guys try to focus on. And you're right, we do need improvements on the 'management' side of our government. But whipping your own backside to say that America is not good at anything won't get you anywhere. And look how Bill Maher ends his piece, start acting like No.1. What does hell does that suppose to mean? That's like some fairy tale ending where you're too lazy to give any real conclusion. You say we're not no.1. So what's the specific reason that's causing this problem? Is it just one problem or many problems? How do we fix it? What can be done? Who can do it?

Quit the guilt trips. Complaining is the easiest thing to do. Coming up with the right answers is the toughest challenge. Bill Maher is pointing out the problems in this country virtually every week in his show. If you care about this country that much, if you really feel guilty about America not acting like no.1, then you should start coming up with answers as to how we can improve it, instead of just nodding and accepting whatever Maher says and boiling your own stew of disgrace.

Let me put it in layman's terms. If you want to win a sports game, then you should believe in your own ability. A team that doesn't believe in one's strong points and lack the confidence will never win games.

Now stop with this whole 'oh man we're such a bad country' attitude. Grow some balls for god sakes. You know why republicans keep getting jobs? Because while democrats have got the brains, you can't use'em when the republicans got you by the balls! Grow your own pair and start using'em.
