yeah Really. These statics are wrong.
I know that some vaccines are good, but I also know them some of these imperfect mixtures are toxic mistakes. i'm not convinced that all the vaccicnes that are pushed onto the kids are a good thing. I remember that a few years ago that you mentioned that you have a personal stake in this fight, I know you are more educated than me about this subject, but I still have my fears. And this video doesnt do anything to to soothe my fears. This guy says things like they are facts . they are not facts! He tries to be funny and he isnt. Watch again, hes not funny , and his story is lame( historicly and mathmaticly), this is a bad video IMO.

Nice advertising for big pharma.
Shouldnt this also be in the Fear channel?
Who paid for this?

I worked in a somewhat radical, punk rock art department once. We all listened to music all day, speakers, headphones, whatever. There was a guy that worked next to me that was always blaring Mckenna fused with techno. I hated it. I still do not like McKenna mixed with music. I thought McKenna was insane. And he was to a degree, haha.

Somehow I got into to him on my own time, specifically for his DMT talks and branched out. Without the techno he is very soothing to listen to. I often put on the cassette tape series he made "True Hallucinations" just to go to sleep. Those ultimately become some very adventurous times in sleepy land.

Sagans voice and his patterns of speech are so set in my brain from 4th and 5th grade when Cosmos came out, and I loved it so much, that just hearing clips like this is very soothing. I would bet my blood pressure drops.

Ulrich Schnauss's first album - "Far away trains passing by". An album that well and truly got me hooked on electronica. So soothing, so relaxing, each track an individual journey. Press play, sit back and enjoy...

1. Knuddelmaus


2. Between us and them


3. Passing by


4. Blumenwiese neben autobahn


5. Nobody's home


6. Molfsee


Would totally recommend his later albums - "A strangely isolated place" and "Goodbye" too.

Thanking you Sir

What a joke for conservatives to believe they're the only ones with guns. The entire gun control mess is nothing more than a fabricated issue meant to polarize voters between the two parties. I know plenty of people who've jumped on the conservative bandwagon because their single issue is "gun ownership" and then they just join the conservative group-think echo chamber on every other issue.

But whatever...let's be clear; I have guns and I'm a liberal. The three people I went pidgeon hunting with this weekend are liberals and 3/4 of us are war veterans. If you're a gun toting conservative, don't feel too smug believing you're patriotically sheep dogging American society. Figuratively speaking, there are just as many scopes pointed in your direction as there are pointed outward from your camp.
Don't bother soothing your ruffled political feathers with Breibart's little macho fantasy...if the right-wing, armed, yahoos tried asserting themselves violently...well, it wouldn't go down quite the way you and Breitbart day-dreamed it would.

"We could do a better job..." Ka-Ching!


As cynical as I am generally about corporations and greed, Netflix has been pretty awesome for a pretty long time, and while I am still miffed about the price increase, I have to confess that it still seems like a good deal to me.

I believe them when they say they're going to keep improving the services, and I suspect over time they'll soothe people's anger over the price increase debacle.

If anything though, I think the streaming service is in much bigger danger than the disc-by-mail thing. Streaming has a shitload of the old-guard scared, and they've certainly got the muscle to quash Netflix if it really starts to cut into their bottom lines.

Disc-by-mail on the other hand doesn't pose a threat to anyone's existing business model (now that Blockbuster is gone, anyways), so it'll persist until the coming war over the future of TV gets wrapped up.

Well, again, not exactly, since only last year supplies of homeopathic preparations (I can't call them "medicines", I just can't) originating in India were found to contain illegally high amounts of alcohol and heavy metals (http://tinyurl.com/3hcs9xo) and homeopathic pills marketed in the US to soothe teething babies were found to contain toxic quantities of belladonna (http://tinyurl.com/2cckjbd). Unlike real medicines, homeopathic preparations do not have to be vetted by the FDA before they go on sale. This is the reason why protest "mass overdoses" of homeopathic preparations like those seen in the 10:23 campaign in the UK last year (http://tinyurl.com/yj9v945) may not be all that wise - you just don't know what the homeoquacks have shoved into those bottles.

In any case, homeopaths don't give a shit about the possible side effects of their preparations - the manufacture of homeopathic preparations involves the dumping of huge amounts of homoepathically-activated waste solutions into the environment. If homeopathy really worked, this would be an industrial waste scandal that would put the oil wells of Nigeria in the shade. Fascinating article by Michael Edmonds on this subject at http://tinyurl.com/3msvpsk.

Hehe, of course. But the water/sugarpills homeopathic medicine itself shouldn't have any negative side effects...

Whoa. never saw this before. I love Low. But, not because they soothe me. :~( *sniffles*

This is a VERY good mash-up. Also a bit more soothing to the ears. The stuff I heard from Girl Talk seemed louder, to the point where some parts just get boring or the music gets ignored in my head. Or maybe I prefer shorter mash-ups instead of one that spans 60 minutes.

Ahh the British and the Nazis. i had a course last semester analysing Britain's ongoing fascination with the Nazis. Conclusions: 1. British school history-courses are a catastrophe of american magnitude.
2. Empire? What Empire? We defeated the Nazis! What? Britain had concentration camps, torture and cultural genocides? ... erm ... But we defeated the nazis, and they were way worse than us! Hooray Britain!

Britain, in my experience, is aware of its own miserable history to the point of being self-flagellating. There's a massive emphasis in culture and education on the tudors and WW2, and it's almost ridiculous, but I really doubt it has anything to do with soothing the social discomfort to be had by reflecting on the crimes of the empire.
I don't know. WW2 seems pretty fucking important when it comes to modern history, considering how much that conflict defined the shape of the future world.


Of course WW2 and Nazis should be studied. But there is the difference between study and obsession. We had to do projects for the course, and one group knew a bunch of Bachelor of Education- students being teacher's assistants in the UK at the time. So the group created a survey to look at british student's perceptions of Germany. One question concerned, for example, the number of years the students had WWII as a subject. Out of 4 or 5 classes (all over the UK), all had had WWII in more than 2 years, focussed mostly on Britain vs. Germany. When asked to name something "bad" the British Empire had done, most of only one class could name the enormous slave-trade. When asked to name the things they most associated with Germany, Nazis came before the cars and the soccer team. (And if you look at the tabloids and even proper papers when a match is on, you'll see an abundance of Nazi-refernces.) A friend of mine got cursed out of a London cab for being German. Nick Clegg wrote an article about the obsession. Edit: Moar. I can't find the article I'm searching for. I'll look again tomorrow.


"Having world war 2 in more than 2 years" does not mean that you have studied it for the entire duration of that teaching year - i have covered 3 or 4 different topics 3 or 4 different times during the course of my secondary education (11-16). The word "in" is a big clue there. We also covered native americans, the tudors and stewarts, and the rest i forget because i've never been interested in studying history.

The rest of my points i'll list in brief list form;
1) I don't believe that's true, at all, that 4 out of 5 classrooms full of students had no person who knew about the slave trade during colonial britain. That's covered plenty.
2) I am wholly unsurprised that a bunch of SCHOOL CHILDREN who have spent the last few years covering nazi germany on and off associate germany with nazis over cars (which they can't drive and who cares where cars are made?) and a football team (which we probably play on average once in a 2 year period, mostly in friendlies). If you're older than about 18, your grandad was probably in the war, and your grandma lived during those times. The war was a tough time and we're proud of standing alone for a time.
3) You're reading the sun or the news of the world - tip for you, stop reading the sun or the news of the world.
and 4) I've been cursed out of a london cab for being northern.

PS. Two world wars and one world cup, doodahhhh doodahhhh! .... it's a joke.

Come on lad, get a grip. This questionnaire sounds like bollocks to me - i've experienced 3 student exchanges with german students, and everyone got on really well with no war/nazi/anything comments or insinuations. I could ask 10 strangers what they thought of germany and i'd probably get 7 saying they like em. I got along better with german kids on holidays to spain than i did with the english kids, hung out with them, learned german better, and still love the language now.

Perhaps you're looking for it?
