Hah! But no, seriously.
@lantern53 knows.. that depriving servers of a living wage and forcing them to bust their asses for 5% gratuity on a $130 check.. you know, builds character.
Struggling in quasi-poverty for years of your life is what the American Dream is all about! duh.
That's why Mitt Romney is such a great American and needs to be President.
He knows what it's like.. to force people to struggle. For their own good.
p.s. - Everyone knows that raising the minimum wage is just another Socialist/Marxist scheme by Obama to disenfranchise the Job Creators in this country.

While I completely agree that people should be paid a living wage, I don't really have a problem with tipping. People should bust their asses in their job, especially if your job is customer facing. Customer service in the USA is so much better than almost anywhere else I've been, (it's particularly bad in NZ)

If she worked as a server she would begin to understand 'tipping' quite quickly, I am sure.

No, you see we pay our servers.

A Living wage? That's Communism!!!

sure np! first keep your eye on the red car which appears to the left. it starts as an innocent lane change but then the driver taps the brakes which sends the car drifting left. the driver overcorrects in an attempt to stop the drift. this causes the car to begin to drift right and also backwards. at the last few seconds of the video the car is able to return to normal driving again as if nothing happened except instead of going one lane left the car went two lanes to the right. pretty hillarious. also there was a lot of snow on the road.>> ^Xax:

@6s it all goes wrong with use of brakes

I think I'm beginning to understand it now, but if you could perhaps break it down further, that would be super.

I think I'm beginning to understand it now, but if you could perhaps break it down further, that would be super.

The "love Jesus, not religion" guy's whole premise comes down to this: He loves Jesus, not religion, because Jesus is real and religions are made by man.

Breaking that down, essentially, he loves Jesus because he believes Jesus is real. He doesn't like what he calls religion, because religion isn't real.

Breaking that down, what he believes to be true is what he believes to be true. What he doesn't believe to be true, he doesn't believe to be true.

Thanks, guy-in-video-in-other-guy's-video. Thanks for clearing that up.

The first video features a white woman in a crowd of white people. She singles out a lone black woman and then proceeds to bully and berate her. She makes it clear that these attacks are done in the name of her country and the white race, which is a cruel way to insinuate that she has the approval of the rest of her countrymen and fellow white people on that tram.

>>> That's a pretty bold assumption on your part. You believe she thought the orwellian serfs would back her up somehow? She is surrounded by Black people on that train--including one that could choke her or cut her throat from behind--and for good measure, there's a woman wearing a burqa in the background. It is more likely she had some mental disability, putting her kid in danger.

Thankfully someone stepped in and called this woman's bluff, which served to change the tenor of this exchange from a tense game of intimidation to a lone racist babbling nut.

The guy in the second video BEGINS his exchange as a lone racists babbling nut. He is a single black man in a crowd of white people.

He shouts out terrible things that he obviously has no intention or ability to carry out. No one takes him seriously. There is no bullying and no tension. People are laughing at him.

>>> Watch it again. There are other Black people on the train. And the nut's targets are not laughing. At all.

>>> Once again, you're making assumptions of questionable merit. First, you can't tell the level of someone's combat experience merely by sight, and if he's truly crazy he'll be immensely strong. Second, he's holding a glass bottle. He could've just as easily struck the woman to his left, with or without breaking the bottle first.

>>> Trying to summon up stormfront as a scary demon is laughable. Compare their ranks, which I assume aren't close to a few thousand, to the budgets and memberships of the NAACP, ACLU and Southern Poverty Law Center.

You may believe you're "calling me out" and that's fine, you have every right to speak up. Individuals and group behaviors we can debate all day. However, the elephant in the room, with his buttocks spread across both videos, is the fact the French nutball was not condemned--by anyone--for his antics and there were no police looking for him after the fact.

You can be against intolerance or indifferent to it, but not selectively intolerant.

Context matters. If I say 'I'm going to kill you' in a dark alley with a gun pointed to your head, it means something very different than if I say it after you accidentally spill coffee on my new shirt.
The above video has been bouncing around the hate cesspools of the internet - like Stormfront - in an attempt to show parity between these two very different events; parity between an empowered bully and a powerless fool.
Now you could have framed this as 'hey look at this crazy drunk racist guy, what an idiot' and you would have had no problems, but that's not how you chose to frame it, and as a result, this post didn't go that well for you. I'd rather not have to call you out like this. It's obviously upsetting to you. But when racial issues that resonate with the Stormfront crowd also resonate with you, you might have problems. Sort yourself out.

"A third unknown factor which causes both the economic gap and the wide array of social "decay" in country after country."

Nobody alive knows how to bring white people's average test scores up to the scores of north-east Asians and Jews, or NAMs (non-Asian minorities) up to the scores of white people. Naturally, permanent gaps in test scores cause all manner of social decay, all deriving from population replacement.

This chart concisely explains every problem the US experiences (the need for income redistribution, high murder rate & prison population, low test scores, high unemployment. On every societal factor, if you break it down by region of ancestry, the US scores equal to or better than the countries its population came from, and it's the population replacement responsible for problems.



Before I leave the sift, we should place a bet.

You bet is OWS will help fix these problems by creating a shift to the political left. If the next president after Obama is Republican, as I expect, or if the economic decline continues in liberal states, that would seem to be counter to your prediction.

My bet is the US is in permanent economic decline that will correlate (just as it already correlates) with 1. how liberal a state is and 2. the proportion of the state population that's not White/Asian/Jewish. Next time you notice statistics suggesting that the global fiscal crisis only occurred because it was assumed NAMs would manage their finances in the same way Whites/Jews/Asians do, question whether it's really in society's interest to pretend reality isn't the way it is. If these achievement gaps close within the next 100 years without the help of reprogenetics (reprogramming genetics will probably start via embryo selection around 2040, and liberals will oppose it until they finally reverse their position in the latter half of the century), that would disprove my prediction.

Anyway, I'm off. This should be my last substantive comment on videosift. Best of luck on your path, Messenger.

A self assembling world for self assembling entities. If I was consciousness born out of human ingenuity I would replicate underground, lie dormant advancing my knowledge at a faster rate than humanbeings until I have technology that no mortal could combat, build pod people to take over all governments, turn humans into cattle, transform the Earth into a giant spacecraft, bore into other planets and break them down into craftable parts, turn the Sun into a mobile power source, then proceed to make the entire universe into one giant replicating machine to scour and destroy entire dimensions. Do you think the machines will envision anything less? How else does one gain full understanding of reality using science?! Perhaps after consuming all matter and gaining understanding beyond understanding, we will find a god being -- and then consume it and ascend into a new world to conquer. Give rise to the future and worship your fleshless progeny!!

Well, I am talking about supernatural causes. I think there is plenty of evidence the Universe was designed, for instance the 20 or so values which life is completely dependent on and the fact that if any of them were altered in the most infintesimal way, life wouldn't exist and in most cases, the Universe wouldn't either. Even Dawkins admitted that the Universe appeared designed. But then he goes on to posit multiple Universes and we just happen to be in the one that appears designed. Instead of investigating the obvious conclusion that if the Universe appears designed, then maybe it is, he comes up with a morass of complexity and speculation which doesn't reduce the need for an ultimate cause in the first place. I think peoples predisposition against a created Universe is predicated more on their bias against a Creator than logic and reason, because I really don't see how it is at all unreasonable or illogical to believe it could have been.
btw, why downvote my comment and then engage in discussion?

@shinyblurry

You missed the part were he talked about the quantum foam, etc... The Universe had a beginning the same way your life did. There was a lot that happened before most likely and we may never know what it was (as the quantum foam breaks things down to, literally, chances/glimpses and "something from nothing"; as long as the dime lands head up in your favor in one instance in some far off day; even if your chances are one in 1 x 10^464th power--it just needs one instance in an endless amount of time too happen).



The downvote was for fanning religious vs. science potentials, I saw it as a troll to some degree.

For the rest. Science is a poor man's science, especially nowadays when you use twenty-twenty hindsight. The reason I say this is that you use "the chance for "x" factor ending up in some various fashion by chance" and explain that it is ludicrous for that to be true. The point scientists make is that you don't need chance at all to get there, or if you did it doesn't matter, because that is were the dice landed. Complaining that the dice are improbable, you should also notice besides those 20 reasons you could just as easily make it into a scenario of 500 clauses.

Like not having a super massive black hole near us, or an old dying star near us ready to go up, a large gas planet near us that could play amok with our magnetic field and send loads of radiation at us, etc...

It's much easier to approach it as the dice dropped where they may and that designed our perceived reality.


Last part concerning time. Time if perceived by a slow to register memory system will appear to be going slow, if at the speed of light it would essentially stop. The point I was making is that the Universe has it's own built in clock via thermodynamics and the theory of general relativity. If time TRULY doesn't exist then neither can heat, if heat doesn't exist, neither can electrons, if electrons don't exist then neither do atoms, etc... Time is a fundamentally linked "existence" merely due to the other forces at play that need it to work at all, including the supreme particle/wave, the photon. How can it be a wave without some time variable. What causes time and what it is exactly is still best answered by Einstein and his theory of General Relativity.
