I tried, I really did, but I only got a minute or two into before I just wanted to punch him in the face.

I'll try again.....

nope, can't do it. He's just so fucking self-satisfied.

That doesn't mean I agree with David Cameron either (terrible excuse for a human that he is), simply that I wish we had someone better than Brand.

I've said before that he can be eloquent and impassioned when he's talking about something he has experience with, but he's just mugging it up here and I have no interest in it.

Lol, I never claimed to be a genius, but what I absolutely am is a pragmatist.

Give me solutions.

Hell, even Brand does this when he knows his subject. Listen to him talk about drug treatment. He's eloquent, impassioned and clear.

Whereas in these clips and others where he's talking about something he doesn't have a solution for, he's full of this kind of Chopra-esque hand-wavy nonsense.

Russell doubled down on his interview with Paxman:

From all of us at Newsnight, I'm Will McAvoy.

At the risk of trying to be smarter than big Noam am I the only one not surprised that Obama can't control a multi-trillion dollar war machine that's been doing it's own thing since '45? The only president to ever really try was JFK..

Btw that's Jeremy Paxman interviewing, probably for BBC newsnight.

Thanks for letting me know

Observant Christians DO support child molesters.
Who do you think pays their wages?
Note I made a distinction between observant and non-observant, I suspect Noam Chomsky spent very little time in the synagogue (though I may be wrong). As I said before, in my experience observant Jews are very supportive of Israel's campaign of genocide. The problem talking about Jewish people is that there's the race and the religion. I have nothing against the race, I have many friends who are racially Jewish. It's the religion I have a problem with.


Then the correct term is judaism, not "the jews" which was my point all along

Don't forget the Jews, what they're doing to the Palestinians is imo worse than the child molestation of the Catholic Church.

"The Jews" ≠ the state of Israel.

"The Vatican" ≠ Child molesting priests
Almost all major religions are evil, their members are either actively participating in atrocities or passively looking the other way and enabling.
I know of very few observant Jews who do not support Israel's position (but I know many who are Jewish by birth but not religion who are against the way Israel treats the Palestinians).


The vatican has, as this video shows, and any fair investigation would show, and any rational person should see at this point, been systematically protecting child rapists, so no, "the vatican" is not a child molesting priest (impossible, since its not an actual person) but its an institution who willingly and knowingly, and systematically protects and aid them. And "the Vatican" or "The Catholic Church" is different from the word "Catholics", as I would never say Catholics in general help priests abuse children or accuse them of any other collective crime..

In exactly the same sense, "Jews" are not a state or an organization, its a word to describe people with a religious/cultural background, so to speak of "the jews" as if it was one entity with common blame is something I thought belonged to another, darker era tbh. When you say "the Jews" you include people like Jerry Seinfeld and Noam Chomsky, and what the fuck did they do against palestinians? Besides, there are just as many, if not far more, Christian supporters of Israel, and what about them? So if you want, you could say "Israel and its supporters" and maybe even stretch it to Judaism or zionism, but not to Jews in general.
