This Guy Is Angry
Yes, focus on our country first and our schools for the future. Yes, pull out of foreign wars, and stop sending our tax dollars to countries who don't give a damn about us. Yes, drivers license photos should not allow an obscured face.
But the idea that we need one culture and one language (and implied one religion) to be strong is utter bullshit. And somebody please explain to me how medicare and social security can be bankrupt and still operate without collapsing? They may tremendously benefit from more careful management, but they're not going away any time soon, so how is it a reason to give up on single payer health coverage?
And don't start blaming the progressives for the failure to secure our borders and cut off the illegal immigrants. The conservatives had 6 years with an iron grip, and they did nothing! The truth is that it's the big corporations who are the power behind that movement. They want to keep a large cheap labor pool, and their politician lackeys will make the excuses needed to keep that going.
But I must agree with his final message. It is up to us to stay involved and make sure the politicians represent the will of the people. But Mr. "Paine", don't for one second think that you have common sense on your side.
Climate Change - Those Hacked E-mails
Is the word "trick" indicative of fraud when used in the context of scientific analysis?
Is the travesty of unexplained data something they were trying to hide?
Is the 11-year warming and cooling cycle an unsupported guess?
Anything at all that he just said that you can rebut, or are you just going to repeat talking points?

Hedonistic machine lubricates itself
In regards to TheFreak's comment, I must agree that I appreciate it when artists let me interpret their work without their help. The video by itself, with only the title "Machine with Oil", is excellent and doesn't need further description from the creator.

"Why Bank Of America Fired Me"
Personally, I'm for separation of money and "free speech". One person's or corporation's massive coffers should not give them "more" free speech than the average citizen. Elections should be publicly financed so that politicians cannot be beholden to a small number of donors, or potential donors.
On the topic of the video, Bank of America is not stupid. If it was more profitable to help those people out of debt, they would be doing it. They run off statistics, and not compassion. If it weren't for the apathy of the average citizen, this fact would put them out of business. But the average citizen doesn't care. *That is why this video is important for everybody to see.* If we want to see change in the way business treats people, we have to raise awareness of the cold cruelty that they perpetrate "within the law". It's the only way to effect change.

Star Trek Lip Dub - Happy in Paraguay
Especially the part where Picard's ass scrapes forward on his chair making that horrible metallic scraping noise. And the sound his shirt makes when he pulls on it.

Fox News Dumbest Anti-Atheist Question of the Month?
But beyond that, ceremonies and monuments have always been for the living, not the dead. Atheists are just more likely to get that concept than somebody who is afraid the man in the sky is constantly judging them, along with all their dead relatives.
