That wasn't a flying kick, the bloke lost balance and slipped while kicking.

Another great piece by John Oliver.

@Jerykk It would be good if your comments were sarcastic, unfortunately your passion shows they are not. Many of your points comprise of disturbingly inconsiderate, unsustainable and uneducated core values.

Pay attention to @Januari previous post. All the areas seeking clarification on what you advocate, these are most of the areas you should review and consider alternatives with someone who is rational, compassionate, realistic and a critical thinker. Your suggested solutions are horrific.

The person deliberately laid down in front of a vehicle on the road (his decision).
While intelligent enough to know it wasn't good to be under a vehicle (core strategy of the scam).
He got run over because the 1 thing his disingenuous attempt relied on wasn't the case (drivers attention)

Should he receive immediate medical attention? Of course. Anything to the contrary would be unnecessarily cruel and thus shouldn't be socially acceptable.
Does his personal situation justify his actions? Justification's of right and wrong will be subjective, there is no irrefutable answer. (those gun comparisons focus on partial points, unbalanced and limited core concepts, look at 'THE' case, and judge 'THE' case. Stop misrepresenting things off limited values while disregarding other values that don't support your point [intelligence, selfish, inconsiderate, dishonest, theft via legal obligation])
Did he earn his reward? Fucking oath he did.

Someone chooses to unnecessarily risk their health to dishonestly take advantage of other parties, it happens. But to have so many normally sensible people saying stupid shit like the above, seriously people, acknowledge credit where credit is due. This doesn't make you a monster.

Disclaimer: I read first half of comments, then barely skimmed the rest once it got stupid. @Tusker commented twice, nailed it both times.

Felines are too awesome for this category. Giving them praise for parkour is like giving a bird an award for flying.

Still, it was pleasant to view.

Ice-cream. Give everyone ice-cream.
Granted the plan isn't fully thought-out, but this could be the core component.

More seriously, empowering women's rights would be the best method to improve poverty & education, while further restricting the ease and acceptance of violence.

Less seriously, maybe only give ice-cream to those who are being socially pleasant, considerate and respectful to others.

Either way, we'll get there eventually or have a great time wiping ourselves out in the process of failing.

Nice.
@ 0:14 my thoughts stalled as my understanding flipped.

Love that bit at the end

That's not a motorcycle, it's a 2 wheeled compact car.

Q: Why do governments continue with experiments if there's not much truth to them?
A: Men who stare at goats (a few ppl fooled by ideas and passion can easily consume some government resources)
A: Magicians (show the audience one thing while you do another)
A: Bias perception (Misinterpretation of the results)
A: Progression (Legitimate achievements in technological advancements)

Either pick what makes you comfortable (mentally lazy), or utilize your critical thinking (worth breeding)

A rational mind staring into darkness will begin to see shapes and movements that aren't really there. It's due to mental cheat sheets, where the mind attempts to understand that which it doesn't by using current knowledge, assumptions, imagination and internal values/preferences/emotions (gross simplification).

An irrational mind more easily sees whatever is familiar/preferred to be seen. Those who stare long enough can become very difficult to persuade with an alternative view or bring back to a more rational position. (it's why teaching young humans 'what' to think is so much more defining than 'how' to think, re stubborn beliefs)

Yes humans are capable of some seriously great feats, but if you genuinely think that weather can be "controlled" to the extent he's referring to (while disregarding the far greater impacts that would occur globally for every smaller influence) then you're not likely to listen to reason, rather then continue to perceive that which you're predetermined to think.

Also it might help to listen to how he's making his points. It's psychological warfare, he's seeding you and getting you to defeat your own rational thought, poorly i might add, but still the attempt is there.
Why? By only making statements, your 100,000's year old critical thinking system will instinctively aim to challenge every point that isn't previously accepted (like how a cat instinctively chases a running non-threat target), so he mixes in the questions, the same questions, as repetition is the best form of learning (mind-raping)

And just to fuck with yas: if you 'knew' something crazy to be true, and as you spoke about it you could hear the crazy.. how would you convince a friend, a parent and a stranger?

This is embarrassingly funny

There's far more substance (no pun intended) in this song than most song's you can hear on the radio.

Sounded good listening to it the first time, even better the 2nd time while reading the lyrics. Thanks @eric3579

Have strong beliefs in unsubstantiated things, or we won't follow &/or listen to you. lmfao, if this was comedy, it would be brilliant.

Seems that smart car would win if it had stabilizers on the back. Looked and sounded like it had to let off the throttle to drop the front back down.

Showing compassion and logic, good man. Besides, it was entirely 1 sided with no signs of struggle on his part, therefore it was not a "fight" for him.

The definition of "fighting" requires there be a struggle on the "fighters" part.

Lol, I liked reading this in that movie trailer voice.
