I mean we've been scared of Chile, and the Nicaraguan army which was "Two days from Harlequin Texas." We've been turned into blood thirsty nutcases over wars we had no business fighting.

Hell we attacked Vietnam to protect ourselves from and I quote "internal aggression". You see the Vietnamese were being aggressive towards the US, inside Vietnam. It's amazing how the propaganda system works, reading about it is frightening.

"These pretzels are making me thirsty." Awesome. I love that line, but no one ever gets it.

@JiggaJonson, you still haven't gotten why they were cheering losing their own quarterback. It had nothing to do with cheering a hit. It had to do with being happy their shitty QB wouldn't be starting anymore. It's not bloodthirstiness. It's a roster issue.
@Yogi, people die from playing all sports every year. That's my point. Soccer is often considered the worst for concussions (as repeated low level concussions are more problematic than single big ones given time to heal) and cardiac arrest concerns (talk about over exertion) and basketball is often considered the worst for overall injuries (e.g. joints). I don't think football is unique in this regard, and at least they are trying to make rule changes to do something about it. If you want to stop concussions, don't allow headers in soccer, or make them all wear helmets and padding. Go ahead and see how that flies with their fans.
Finally, why is this guy wrong to criticize fans for cheering an injured human being? Because of your stereotyping of football fans? That's a specious argument to say the least.


He's wrong because they're the customer. If he doesn't like the customers demands he should pack it in. The point is he's saying this isn't the Roman Colosseum when it clearly is, because the fans decide what they cheer and they've been cheering big injuries for awhile now. They're the blood thirsty mob, if you don't like it than don't participate. I didn't play my senior year of High School Football, largely because I was congratulated by half the defense after injuring the other teams QB so badly he needed to be Airlifted off the field in case of paralyzation. He got up luckily, we got to see a Helicopter land and take off on our field.

High School coaches have always taught kids how to hurt the opponent, you've done a good thing if you put their star player out of the game. This is the sport, this is how it works.

promote this: Winston waited for members of the media to gather by his locker after the game, then told them: "If this isn't posted in the paper or run on your (website), this is the last time you're going to talk to me."

As for the Nascar analogy, I don't think the fans CHEER when an accident happens.
I grew up seeing footage of football stadiums going silent when a player was hurt or knocked out, and cheering when they stood up again.
You guys who are justifying the cheering are part of the problem that Eric is talking about. So numb to common human decency that you argue about what he is saying.
Cheer the big hits. Don't cheer a human comatose on the field.
In my opinion. Except Eric is right, and therefore I am right.


I'm sorry but this country is filled with blood thirsty bastards who love it when anyone with brown skin is killed in a horrific fashion. Is it that much of a leap to think they'd cheer a guy they don't like being seriously injured? We're not evolved as much as we'd like to think we are.

Wow, those are some seriously poorly 'busted' myths.
Ride height. Seems that 11 is ludicrously low, and 16cm is still really low
Fuel Consumption. My god, she's actually trying to suggest those figures are reasonable? A Jeep Wrangler uses half that, a Ford Focus uses 6.2L/100km city, a Prius uses 3.9. My bloody people mover, an 8 seater Kia Carnival, uses 9.5.... that's an 8 seater vehicle using less than HALF the petrol this does. 22Litres per 100km is the same as a Hummer H1. It's just brainless to try to suggest this thing is not anything but ridiculously thirsty.
The car was made for everyday life? Erm... Um... She gives no evidence at all to counter that one
Not much room: 110 Litre boot hey? Tiny little hatchbacks have 3 TIMES that boot space.

Really, what a stupid video.
If the point is to have an (apparently) attractive woman draping herself over a car, just have that.
If you are going to pretend to have 'information' with your scantily clad woman, make is actual information. Even just a run down of the specs and capabilities of the car would have been better. Trying to suggest that this car is anything but a ridiculously overpowered, impractical beast for those who want to show off is missing the point of what it is.


That video was many things, but poorly busted isn't one of them.

"I'm so thirsty! Why do you torture me with this contraption?? Just how am I supposed... oh hey, there's water here!"

"Imagine having to make a decision to put down your 19 year old son or daughter. That's probably pretty close to how the guy feels about his dog"

No. It. Is. Not.

As for the other responses, the "will to live/eat" argument, I call bullshit. Every living thing has survival instincts, thats why they exist in the first place. But dogs do not on a human level understand the connection between eating and surviving, they do not stop eating because they've "lost the will to live". That is us, humans, antropomorphising the dogs brain. They dont have that same cognitive future-predicting brain we do. They dont make that kind of connection. Whatever triggers the "i'm gonna stop eating and go die" behaviour is probably connected with dogs and wolves pack behaviour, which would be triggered because the dog "knows" that its would slow down the pack, and thus decides to leave. This would however not be knowledge, but evolved pack behaviour, and is unreliable to determine whether the dog has a worthy life. This behaviour could also be triggered in false alarm cases, such as hormones during or after mating seasons and so forth, one week later and the dog is happy as ever.

What is clear, is that this dog, in the video, cannot run anymore, it cannot fetch, search or do anything that stimulates its brain anymore. A dog thats being fed by an owner every day do not have the evolutionary history, nor the brains, to decide that this isnt a life worth living. Which is excactly were the dogs owners brain is supposed to come in: The dog eats because its hungry, it drinks because its thirsty. In more aspects than ever, its being artificially kept alive , as most dogs are most of their life, because they are domesticated and are thus useless hunters/scavengers, but they can still be happy and pain free, but in cases like this, it is literally being kept alive in pain, which is due to the owners emotional commitment.

And thats really all there is to it, if the living creature in front of you is in constant pain, constant agonizing pain, and you are keeping it alive on the basis of your personal feelings, you are hurting that animal. Every day. And those are sad, painful days for that animal. We do the same thing to some humans, even when they express their desire to die, which is a separate issue, but also sad, but atleast most humans can express such desires, and understand what it means to die and escape the pain, but dogs cant. Which is why we should make the hard decision and let them go, even if that hurts so, so much (again, yes I DO know, and yes I have had enough dogs in my life to know).

3 more comments have been lost in the ether at this killed duplicate.

Cool that it freezes and all, but .......the mostly non-mixed frozen drinks taste like crap. All the water freezes, you drink all the syrup out that doesn't freeze. Then what you're left with is a very watered down drink, and if you are still thirsty you gotta buy something else or drink that that weird tasting watery drink.

The gas station chains that have the mixing frozen drink machines seem to fare better for me in the taste department. Dunno if it's the straw or the way it's mixed, but it doesn't taste super sweet at the beginning and doesn't taste like a watered down soda at the end.

This makes me thirsty for more =o)

Much like the cotton candy guy in the top ten - stop it and gimmie what I ordered. Seriously if I'm thirsty I don't want to sit through a 3 minute performance before I get my food/drink. We really need to slap these minimum wage servants back to reality. I don't wanna see the monkey do tricks - I can hold down a job, family and house at once, nice work on juggling a bottle.
