bareboards2says...No mention that the latest generation is the first to have a shorter lifespan than its predecessor.
Plastics, pesticides, pollution.... We are going backwards.

Yogisays...I have nothing to say about unscientific studies that don't take into account millions of other criteria and only look at what they want to look at. This is like the Black Book of Communism...you can make the same book about Capitalism and it's brutal mass killings...I'm sure you could make a good case about how Capitalism can significant harm societies.
Come back to me with a study that's taken decades...then we can have a debate. Of course it will end with my citing all the times Capitalism has effected other countries and made them worse.
dystopianfuturetodaysays...Agreed. More meaningful comparisons would involve factors that directly influence longevity, like health care, medicine, nutrition and pollution.
Countries with socialized medicine like Japan, Switzerland, Australia, France, the UK and Canada rank much higher than the US when it comes to life expectancy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy
Also, I added a book that blankfist should read.
peggedbeasays...wtf was that?
Fusionautsays...uhhhh, http://www.indexmundi.com/cuba/life_expectancy_at_birth.html
cuba's life expectancy is 77.6, very near the United States and it's a country full of evil communists!
RadHazGsays...I read the title and expected a parody video. It was not. Capitalism to these people is like god to the religious. Facts matter very little to someone who refuses to look at them.
thinker247says...DO NONE OF YOU SEE THE CUTE BABY IN THE FUCKING FLOWER FIELD? CAPITALISM IS LIFE MOTHERFUCKERS!
Issykittysays...*wtf *retarded
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Wtf) - requested by Issykitty.
RFlaggsays...
gwiz665says...Whenever I want to be longer, I also think of a baby in a field.
