A really cool presentation. Only drawback is it doesn’t even attempt to explain “why” (which ultimately is probably a good thing…think Jared Diamond). But that can be left to other videos like this one.
Hans Rosling’s 200 Countries, 200 Years
I wonder why these damn hippies don’t occupy washington instead of wall street.
I think the answer is in your question. They just don’t get the full picture. Yet.
Well, I hope you’re right.
The live stream is great though. From what I read there are only a few hundred there, but through the livestreaming platform you can see that 14000+ more are watching it and that’s only on that one site.
I think I see what they’re doing here:
700 Arrested After Wall Street Protest on Brooklyn Bridge
This might be part of the plan: The more people we put in prison, the more prisons we need. The more prisons we need, the more janitors, guards, prison heads, and people to file the paperwork. We also create jobs for construction workers, architects, people to certify the prisons, etc. Then if people protest against the prisons, they need to buy cardboard and markers to make protest signs, they buy ads on TV.
It’s all a stimulus package! Haha, and I doubted the government for a second.
My favorite part is the end of the conversation…

Blowhard reporter: “Is this wheels up to the whitehouse?”
Ron Paul: “I don’t know, whatever, man” peaces out on his bike
Funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time:
I didn’t realize Bad Lip Reading was still around. I actually thought that was a one time thing for “Friday”. This one is pretty awesome too
A small gem I found in the comments on an article:
“[Romney] should go into the beachwear business and sell flip flops…”
Why don’t leftists ever stop creeping me out?
This is a video critiquing an Obama commercial (with text over the commercial for the critiques), and this is how it ends (every single time I watch it I get freaked out):

I feel like I am being pulled into a twisted vortex.
Ashton Kutcher lives in Obama’s right cheek??
When I was a kid I used to watch this segment a lot, without realising the irony of the ‘worst human beings in history’ celebrating the navy as they pillage innocent villagers:
Yeah that was when all the messiah stuff was still pretty much in full swing. I’m sure you saw all the school children being taught to sing his praises, right? Like here and here. (Here’s the Pyongyang remix)
Guy’s barely staying above 40% approval. Won’t being seeing that crap ever again.
