All that stoner laughter, I could bearly make it to the end.

You don't see stoners doing this sh1t. HINT.

Your video, Grizzly Bear gets in back of Canadian stoner's pick-up truck, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

I don't smoke because I hate having conversations with fucking stoners.

The stoner is lucky it wasn't a samurai raccoon, or he wouldn't be giggling afterwards.

What does dress and appearance have to do with anything? It is all superficial in the end.

Huge props to getting clean cut and well dressed instead of the stereotypical stoner-treehugger-hippie that seems to make videos like this usually.



Superficial? First impressions are hugely important. You look like a slob, people will dismiss you as one before you even utter a word. It's not superficial, it's human nature. The way he has presented himself communicates his belief what he is saying is important. The Internet isn't text-based anymore. Presentation is everything.

Hell no. I was a complete stoner of the correct age group who went to see it in theatres, and I hated Super Troopers. Total disconnect with their style of comedy here.

Team America was the funniest movie of the 00s.

I wish I could refute that...but I tried and I can't think of any other funnier movie. There HAS to be one...someone help!

Super Troopers?

I think part of the problem is that there's a whole lot of people out there who can't quantify how much wealthier the people feeding them the "Creating Jobs" stuff are. See: http://videosift.com/video/Most-Americans-Unaware-of-Growing-Concentration-of-Wealth at the 1:40 mark. Everyone thinks they are middle class that's a 29k avg neighborhood and 140k neighborhood, 3:30 repeats it again....they think the majority of Americans are middle class.

I'd venture to say that many people in that crowd are there, not because they understand that the people working on wall street dwarf their salary probably by a factor of 4 or 5 in the lower paid white collar jobs and up into the 100+ factors when they get into the upper positions. They are there because they want what they had back, and they can now see that Wall Street or at least the mentality of Wall Street has in a very short period of time affected many aspects of their lives.

If they could still afford a place to live, food, and have a decent job, they probably would have never noticed the long term erosion of the system by those with the money and power...twisting it so they took more of the pie and left the middle and lower class to figure out how they will afford their house (debt which in turn shifts more money up the ladder).

I mean most people who have jobs right now, the only information they care about on unemployment is when it comes from someone they know who they consider to be a "useful employee" and not their stoner brother, etc. And even then it's probably "These things happen, you'll find another job." until they are still unemployed 6 months later....maybe they were just lazy. 12 months rolls around and they are still unemployed? Now it starts to scare the living shit out of people, especially when another friend or family lost their job a month or two back. When it looks like it might affect them personally is when they care, and by that time it's been 1-2 years of people they know going unemployed at various times...working at McDs or Walmart because there's nothing out there.

Showing another way the Wall Street mentality is just giving us all a good screwing. Instead of these folks taking their talents to create something, they leech off of the people doing the work and drive up costs while creating massive uncertainty for everyone involved.

Shows that people were experiencing bankruptcy more often that you would assume, but were able to hide it. Plus the general fixed costs being increasingly higher over the years with no overall salary gains to offset them.

http://videosift.com/video/Paul-Krugman-Income-Inequality-and-the-Middle-Class

Showing that they have been on the union bust kick for 30 years now at least, and it's something unique to the US because Canada in a similar global economy still has the level of unionized work force as the US had 30 years ago. Education has nothing to do with the income disparity. And the income disparity was fixed by policies put in place during the 1930s and early 40s. Which have been removed layer by layer since then, with increasing frequency in more recent history. And he points out in the video that the highest paid hedge fund manager makes more in a single year than 88000 NY teachers do in 3 years, my recounting of it might be off a little it's near the end of the video.

Then you have this knucklehead talking about 200k to feed his family and how he can't afford a tax hike because it will prevent him from investing in store improvements and openings (that make him MORE money, so yeah..). Jon Stewart covered this in a much more funny way and how stupid the argument being made is. I'll re-iterate my take on this though. If they can't create jobs with the money they have coming in now after all the other tax deductions over the years, and all the opportunities before this day to do.....they will not do so. It's a fool's bet to depend on some guy who can't demonstrate how he has created jobs in the last 2-4 years in some meaningful way and how those low taxes make it possible to do so. Taxes would pretty much force him to reinvest in his business because if he tried to take it in profit he'd be paying a chunk of it out in taxes.




I think the most profane thing about this country right now is that people who want to work can't find work. And those who are working, especially blue collar jobs have a bunch of white collar guys speculating on their production....every thing that blue collar guy makes/produces probably has 10 or more white collar guys trying to make a buck off of it. It's like a house of cards, except the support structures are the very few people who still put out useable materials. It's crazy how something like that was let run wild, with more and more of the regulation taken away so they could stack even more cards onto the mess. The money isn't to be had in production, it's made in speculating/futures/etc...and it's just massively crazy to realize that all the middlemen are allowed to drive up the costs of oil/food/etc instead of cutting that shit out through regulation.

Love the pot head cough at the end by the camera man. How do I know he's a stoner? The sound.

Oh man. I'm all for blazing but seriously. As crazy as it sounds the first time I smoked pot was in 4th grade... but I didn't actually get stoned until 6th grade (in a car outside of the junior high across from my elementary school). Because that junior high was so fucked my parents sent me to a private school where there were like 20 kids in each class as opposed to one thousand. That's when I became a big stoner and ultimately started having panic attacks from shitty weed (laced or sprayed with something) alongside the stress a school that's whole goal was to get kids into really good colleges. The school was too small all of the faculty had their eyes on every single kid & knew what was up - it tripped me out.

Ultimately, three years later it led me to go back to public school in a different district so if I got so crazily stoned no one would realize; I'd be just another number in the police state.

It's all gravy now, I could smoke a bowl, drop E, some acid and a fifth of jack daniels and be smooth (not that I'd actually want to do that) but seriously, weed has the potential to fuck up a youngins mind or at least lead them astray. Not that I think it led me astray but I think the possibility is there. Now that my stoner years (wake & bake - go to art school) are behind me I smoke maybe a hit every once in a while, if I smoke much more I get panicy. I'm down to one hit as opposed to five bowlfuls... if it weren't for being a stoner at one point I probably wouldn't drink at least 3-5 to 15 beverages a day haha! It began a brutal cycle. Either mixing, or smoking a lot of weed, or drinking a lot of alcohol. They say everything with moderation, yeah sure, but addictions are more difficult to moderate!

Who even knows what effect pot could have on a baby's mind!! Sheesh!

Am I the only one here who's not a fucking stoner?

Shit, whatever. Time for my evening bottle of red wine and a box of laxatives.

I like the "We want everything they have" Act. Why don't we make a party...call it something stupid like "Lulzparty" or something and get that going. I think we could get the stoner vote pretty F'n easily...that is if they'd ever bother to get off their asses and vote!
