Volkswagen - Words of the World --- history of the VW
TrancecoachInteresting to see how, after Germany was defeated in WW 2, West Germany resorted to free market Capitalism in effort to build strength in the short term. Germany is still living off of the prosperity they created. (East Germany, by contrast, employed more of the Bernie-Sanders-type of thinking and, well, it didn't go as well there).
Ronda Rousey Demolishes Feminist Reporters Pay Gap Question
TrancecoachWell, people who get paid $15/HR are typically being paid more proportionally to what they bring in relative to MMA stars, do they not?
Anyway, you could do the research and find out the answer to your question, if you truly cared to know.
Quote hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
I think that's a reasonable stance to have - but the unasked question is do women get paid the same proportion of what they bring in compared to male fighters - I don't know.
SNL - Guns
TrancecoachI remember when SNL was funny. It's too bad they're little more than mere propaganda shills for the White House with humorless skits like this one (to say nothing of the hour-long campaign ad they ran for Hillary last week). I wonder if the writers of this terribly unfunny sketch are requesting that NBC do away with the armed security at their studio at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
Primetime propaganda passing as entertainment will serve to debunk itself, week after week.
Glenn Greenwald: Obama can't just apologize for a war crime
TrancecoachThat is totally irrelevant to this incident and in no way makes it any less of a crime.
Nice try.
Any other morally bankrupt apologists have a comment?
No one did a war crime investigation when Israel repeatedly bombed hospitals in Gaza. At least Obama apologized which is way more than any republican would do.

Teen arrested by 9 cops for jaywalking
TrancecoachThis is what fascism looks like.
Anyone who's read my comments knows I'm not a big fan of the police these days, but they were totally in the right here, and the description is ridiculous IMO.
People who try to make a police misconduct case out of this should think first and realize that offering this as evidence of police misconduct/abuse minimizes ACTUAL misconduct/abuse. There was NO "brutal beating", no choking seen, no stomping, just a teenager acting a fool and ignoring commands, pushing officers, and grabbing their weapons, all of which didn't end well for him.
I wonder, what alternative actions do those complaining about this think the police SHOULD have taken? Just let him walk away indignantly? The law doesn't work that way.
Jaywalking may not be an arrest-able offence, but refusing/ignoring an officer's lawful command to stop certainly is, so is resisting when the cop tries to control/arrest you (like pulling the cop's hand off your arm, pushing the cop, or grabbing the baton that has yet to hit you).
The kid only gets hit with the baton (in the video) when he grabs it with both hands and tries to wrestle it away from the cop, as the cop wrestles for control of the weapon, the kid gets grazed in the face. When the other 4 officers take control, he continues to fight with them.
As to his being a kid, he certainly thought he was adult enough to ignore/fight with the police. As far as I could tell, they all used restraint (compared to the normal dog pile and face kicks we've seen in the past in this kind of situation). I really don't think this video is going to help that 'kid' in court.
I'm somewhat surprised they didn't go after the woman screaming for interfering with a police action, or at least command her to move away. Telling the kid to stay seated (and ignore the command to get on the ground) sure seems to meet the criteria in my eyes.
Can you solve Einstein's Riddle? (Solution in the video)
TrancecoachSolved this riddle without pen and paper (using memory techniques). This "riddle" is hardly "mind bending." What's more "mind bending" to me about it is the (alleged) fact that 98% of people can't "solve" it given how straightforward and logical it is...

TrancecoachClearly not because such activity continues unabated. Good luck with that worldview.
Not all of us have your same world view on this matter.
Buy These Tickets Or I Take Your Car
TrancecoachThat's essentially how it works in every fucking country, including the U.S. Pay the bribe or do the time.
^ really dude?
Getting your car from the impound opposed to paying the bribe is kinda missing the point. Don't ya think?

ADHD U: The Advertising Song
TrancecoachYou probably already have too many shirts...
And, by the bye, you only need some spinach and a glass of milk a day as far as sustenance... You could even live off of pine needles, so you don't even need to shop for food! If you weren't such a consumerist, you'd trade your fancy apartment for a bunk bed at a hostel. But mean old Bernays has brainwashed you into becoming a miserable consumerist. (It's too bad you can't think for yourself. That mean old man makes it impossible for you to make your own decisions!) And I wont even go into your consumerist desire for Internet service, movies, music, and God knows what else! You even own a bed! (can you believe that?)! And come the holidays, what does your consumerist self do? Exchange gifts with family!
Oh the humanity.

Real Climate Scientist Demolishes Global Warming Alarmism
Trancecoach"They" who, specifically? Based on what "evidence," specifically? Seeing as how you have to resort to suggesting that this particular scientist's views on evolution have anything to do with his work as a climate scientist says more about the credibility of your "position" on this issue than it serves as any sort of "argument" on the topic at hand.
I'll take the scientist's take over the alarmist's take, every.single.time.
you're posting this while they're now saying that climate change is accelerating way faster than anyone had ever predicted. this guy is a fucking creationist for christ sake.
