I hadn't noticed that about this video.
Hey cab, how many votes did this have when you promoted it?

>> ^ctrlaltbleach:

promote


>> ^speechless:

Tangentially, is this the first time a video has transitioned from being personal queued to #1?
Seems like the best example of why the queue exists and maybe the best self-promote ever.

*promote as I was about to submit it - I like how this clip calls it 'BBC Kent - Faversham man's pussy cat organ(2).flv' and somehow got the video flagged under YT "safe mode" rules.

Whatever laughter it was, however easy it is to make him laugh, my point was if you're a comedian and one of the all-time greats is appreciating you, you'd feel on top of the world.

Actually, I bet he's fairly easy to crack up... someone that funny's gotta be!>> ^Payback:

Although, I think it was more "been there" laughter...

If John Cleese is sat there rocking with laughter, you know you've arrived!

Man, no kidding. That would be surreal.

How do you know that people don't know about Tianamen? Of course they do; it was a nationwide protest! But I think for some kids to have an in depth opinion of something that happened so long ago is like asking me (born in the early 70s) about Kent State. Yeah, I know something happened; but I wouldn't be able to really expound upon it.
There are many current issues that have prompted Chinese citizens to protest against their government, with results. Two examples. People in China protest against the government all the time. Of course the state run media suppresses things. But with the internet and cell phone technology, it's like trying to plug up the ocean. When the Chinese gov't starts to hire Fox News consultants, then I will really worry.
China vetoing a Security Council proclamation is not the same as China oppressing Syrians. C'mon.
Lastly, these students are arrogantly giving a lesson. They are giving their opinions and insights in the spirit of dialogue.

I'm not American, but as long as China's government forbids its children from learning about a massacre that took place in the centre of their own capital city little more than 20 years ago, in the midst of a pro-democracy protest of the sort that China is now suppressing in Syria, I'll take no lessons from their teenagers.
I'm astounded by how irrelevant you think such recent history is. Let's see one of these kids have the ambition to make China a country where people get to choose their own destiny and government. Let's see how long they're still free to talk to journalists then. The USA has a Nobel peace prize winner in the Oval Office. China threw theirs in jail.



I think you are missing the point behind asking about Tiananmen. It's not their lack of knowledge, but rather the lack of freedom to speak about it. If you plan to continue living in China and climbing the ladder, appearing on camera speaking against the Tiananmen massacre is risky and not a particularly wise move.

If you want a current example ask about Taiwanese independence and you'll find most of the sympathy and support for non-intervention suddenly evaporating.

Don't dismiss the veto of the Syrian motion so lightly either. There is no question that unarmed civilians in Syria are being killed by the Syrian military. The Arab league itself was the one asking for the UN motion that China and Russia vetoed. Complaining about the damage FOX does is great, but at least be even handed enough to recognize the direct damage also done by vetoing the Syrian motion...

Uh, yeah there are still family farms/ranches. I should know, grew up on one.
All farms/ranches are corporations. Family owned or not, it's a business.
>> ^longde:
He bragging about farmers, but aren't all those big farms run by corporations. There are no Ma & Pa Kent operations anymore.



I just this very afternoon came to the realization that farms or whatnot usually have names because they are in fact a business. Lazy Bob Ranch,Battle star Farms etc. It had stemmed from my wondering why all these places I go to have names, who the hell names their house.
