QI - Hilarious Moment: People from Scotland

TickTock says...

I got your point... and in the past you would have been correct. This video, and following replies have honestly set me straight. No getting down on anyone because of some artifical line in the sand for me after this. I'M A NEW MAN!

"Actually I'm from Canadian, but America is pretty close and let's face it, we're all pretty similar once you cut through all that bullshit!"

I love how the English guys are getting down on the Scot. It's an interesting reflection of the state of the world. Geographically, they are so close, but they seem to think they are so different. Drop all of them in downtown Shanghai or Bagdad and no one there would be able to tell them apart.
Give it up, you're all from the UK. In the other 99% of the world no one gives a shit. Move on.

Lol. What i love even more is that you're apparently not from the UK yet making an uneducated statement about the relationship between english/scottish based on jokes about the stereotypical scottish person/stereotypical english person.
Say what you like about our love/hate relationship, but we all died alongside each other protecting the Great!!! British Isles whilst the rest of the (new) world was busy turning a quick profit off the situation and waiting for the winner to be decided. They're all my brothers and sisters and whilst i may make a joke about them, and they may make a joke about me, there's no one finer, braver or tougher i'd rather trust my joint national safety to.
If i said exactly what you said about about americans/canadaians (you're american, right?), you'd bawl your eyes out!

Dear sir:
Go fuck yourself.

A Canadian from the "new world" whose ancestors faught and died during BOTH world wars to protect your right to make generalizations about cultures outside of the British Isles.
So, just for fun, while I may not agree with TickTocks statement, Here's a neat picture showing the idiocy of comparing England/Scotland, to Canada/United States. (yes, that's Australia, UK, and U.S., but it gets the point across)
Even more perspective on that, total of area of the UK (Scotland and obviously included) = 244,820 km km/sq.
Ontario, one of canadas smaller provinces, has an area of 917,741 km/sq.
One Canadian province is larger than both your countries combined. So, no, if you said the same thing about Americans/Canadians, I'd probably laugh at you for making such a stupid comparison.

--> "If i said exactly what you said about about americans/canadaians (you're american, right?), you'd bawl your eyes out!"
--> "If i said exactly what"
--> "If i said"
--> "If"
I think that's my point proven right there! Sorry you had to get in the firing line of my insulting generalisation, but that was the point.

Yeah, I think you might be forgetting that England and Scotland have a bit of history. Maybe not forgetting, more like just being comfortable going off on one without any knowledge of a subject

Maddow: America's History of Oil Drilling and Spilling

Trancecoach says...

Americans buy ten thousand gallons of gasoline a second, without giving it much of a thought. All this gas takes a one-hundred thousand mile journey from local gas stations to oil fields half a world away. From the most off-limits places on earth: the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the New York Mercantile Exchange’s crude oil market, oil fields from Venezuela, to Texas, to Chad, and even an Iranian oil platform where the United States fought a forgotten one-day battle, the story is at once surreal and alarming, as lonely workers on a Texas drilling rig, an oil analyst who almost gave birth on the NYMEX trading floor, Chadian villagers who are said to wander the oil fields in the guise of lions, a Nigerian warlord who changed the world price of oil with a single cell phone call, and Shanghai bureaucrats who dream of creating a new Detroit are pieced together in the mammoth economy of oil, and these stark warning signs for American drivers.

Driving shenanigans in Taiwan

Enzoblue says...

I took video when I was riding a bike through the streets of Shanghai. It's kinda bad though, I was just holding my camera near my chest. THAT was crazy too, shoulder to shoulder on bikes 20 ppl wide through an intersection. Good times.

London in 1927 - Early Colour Silent Film

Enzoblue says...

I remember the feeling I got when I went to my very first foreign country, (Portugal, Azores Islands actually), the strangeness, the confirmed realization that there was more than what I knew, (we are very sheltered here in America). I thought that initial amazing rush was once in a lifetime until it recently hit again with a trip to Shanghai - talk about a different planet on the SAME planet no less! Blew me away. This film gives me a reminder of that emotion, it's such an unreal world that's undeniably there and real. Thanks for the sift truly.

CCP Games rap video - Harden The Fuck Up

thegrimsleeper says...

Lyrics:
Intro
First off - let me make a short introduction
I'm the space 5.0, keeping EVE from destruction
Guard is the name, Lead master of the game
Top dog in the gamemaster hall of fame

Im chillin at my desk with two girls and one pimp cup
Sippin champagne, reading mails checkin what's up
Isk spamming scum bags disturbing the peace?
WOOP WOOP its the sound of space police!

Every day is a fight, there's no room for bloopers
Bugs coming at us like in Starship troopers
We help when we can, every child, every man
Treat the boogie man to a permanent ban!

CHORUS x2

We're CCP! We march on fearlessly!
Excellent is what we strive to be!

If you're going to follow us to the top

HARDEN THE FUCK UP!

You best watch out bitch if you're an exploiting scammer
Guard will gank you in the face with his big ban hammer
Remove all your Isk , throw your ass in the slammer
Make you share a cell with a manic ISK spammer

Like a never ending spam thread on racist biking
This song has something for everyone's liking
Holy shit I see local spiking

...ladies and gents, its techno Viking!

Chorus x2

Ever flowing - never standing still
We roll with the punches, move in for the kill
The competition ends up six feet in the ground
With fists full of awesome we go round after round

United we stand never ever growing weary
We cannot fall cause gravity is just a theory
We reach higher than the giants in operations
Patience soon well be crip walking in stations

We're more agile than a president dodging a shoe
We need three continents for our massive crew
From Atlanta to Shanghai to the Icelandic nation
Throw your hands up for World Domination!

Chorus

An Anti-Libertarian (& Noam Chomsky) Critique

longde says...

The point of the skyline of Shanghai is vacuous. What is the point? I have seen both sides of the river in Shanghai, and in a city of over 20 million, there are plenty of examples of shining modernity and squalid poverty.

I have to agree that this guy, at least, has an oversimplified view of how the world really works. The "free market" seems to be a deus ex machina to these folks. What defines the "free market"? When you get down into the weeds, it's not such a straightforward answer. For example, the speaker expresses some opposition to corporations. I would like to query him on how the "free market" would operate without the investment/risk diversification provided to investors by corporations.
