Comments by "Mat Broomfield" (@matbroomfield) on "David Pakman Show" channel.

  1. Hold on, weren't lots of these people told they HAD to work? And now they're not going to be paid? I thought slavery was dead in America except for its prisons and immigration holding camps.
    545
  2. There's no way that young lady was fully clothed during that conversation.
    353
  3. Alex loses business. Alex declares war on world's largest radio show. He's just desperately trying to raise his pathetic, despicable profile. "Built for war"? The only thing Jones is built for is a whaler's harpoon.
    347
  4. Libertarians are hilarious. They always start by sounding reasonable but within five minutes the mask slips and their inner lunatic starts to show. This guy was better than most but "most of the planet has enough to eat now", even if it was remotely true, is not a result of unregulated capitalism. It's a result of economies of scale, advances in farming technology, and better delivery.
    204
  5. Bloomberg absolutely should NOT be allowed onto the stage. He's avoided all the earlier debates where he might have had to answer awkward questions. It's like waiting till half the runners in a marathon have dropped out, then joining the race 5 miles from the end, and his billionaire status is like doing so driving a Ferrari.
    157
  6. I don't care what the reason - I hope his presidency costs him and his repugnant family everything.
    132
  7. What a massive irony consider that Sanders looks like a bad transvestite and Trump has the all mincing mannerisms of a 17th century French fop.
    127
  8. I'd like to see America completely sidelined in all global matters, economic, military, environmental, copyright law, science, space exploration, and more.
    90
  9. When your president is willing to burn the country down for the sake of his ego, he needs to go. Lee Harvey - any relatives?
    87
  10. Trump is firing people so fast you can't even do news pieces in time to keep up. You'll have to switch to broadcasting every 10 minutes.
    81
  11. Trump revealed this facet of his ethics way back when he suggested that the US should simply not pay its debts. He thinks the country should run its affairs as he does. He's a scumbag shyster pure and simple.
    66
  12. He's not acting like a mob boss - he's acting like a petulant child.
    62
  13. It would give me the GREATEST of pleasure to see O'Reilly go down in flames.
    58
  14. That was pretty poorly handled. The caller's misunderstanding was perfectly reasonable, and that stupid comment about being a Trump supporter was as uncalled for as David's mildly snide response to an honest mistake.
    53
  15. $20,000 for family health insurance?! Oh my fucking god! How did Americans ever allow themselves to get raped like this?
    47
  16. Sounds great. Let's have more Evangelical church rallies.
    47
  17. About time. The second he became political was the second he deserved to be dragged out of there.
    37
  18. The plea deal industrial complex is yet one more appalling abuse of the poor.
    37
  19. Jeez, and there are people - poor people - fighting against solutions to this. Truly the dumbest country on the planet.
    37
  20. There's not a single Republican thatt I don't hold it total and deepest contempt. Most should be in prison and at least hald a dozen should be executed for treason.
    36
  21. I LOVE that Vindman demanded the respect he has earned.
    35
  22. Hopefully he'll be in prison in 2024. If he is, I hope he lives to be 200.
    35
  23. Typical narcissist behaviour. Sees the world only in terms of himself.
    33
  24. but there are genetic differences between races so surely you making a contradiction?
    33
  25. Couldn't be happier to see the USA isolate from allies it has had for over half a century. Says Vladimir. Who knew Theresa May had some standards? After facilitating UAE's slaughter in Yemen I thought there was no bottom to her barrel.
    32
  26. Tipping is a pathetic system. No other minimum wage employee expects 20% extra simply for doing their job adequately. Pay the staff a decent wage or don't run the business.
    30
  27. An America with no nukes and 1/100th the military would be a lot more reasonable. The world would love to see that.
    28
  28. Hmmm, just when I was slowly starting to warm to her. Should have trusted my instincts. That hair was a warning sign.
    27
  29. I couldn't be happier. America always flaunted it's so-called exceptionalism. Now the only exceptional thing is how corrupt it has become and how stupid its president is. The whole country should hang its head in shame.
    23
  30. 3.5mm jack not inch Dave.
    22
  31. Sam Harris on the right? Hardly.
    22
  32. It's breathtaking that America elected this manbaby to the most powerful post on the planet. To say that the rest of the world is laughing at you would be a massive understatement. He epitomises all the superficial, self-serving, ignorant bigotry that has grown so rapidly in US society.
    21
  33. Sometimes a star IS just a star. Sigmund Freud ;-)
    21
  34. She is to progressivism what ISIS is to Islam.
    21
  35. Fox should have lost its licence for acting as a disinformation broadcaster years ago.
    21
  36. "Hillary Clinton's email habits have been open and proactive compared to what happened in the George W Bush administration". So what part of wiping her hard drives with military grade cleaners, and destroying her drives , phones and pads with hammers is open and which is proactive please David?
    19
  37. It seems clear from reading the stiudies, that pit bulls do represent a significantly greater risk than other breeds. The only issue is why.
    19
  38. A particularly interesting position given that she is clearly a failed transexual.
    18
  39. Nonsense. Boycotts are the ultimate expression of democratic choice expressed by the ordinary citizen.
    18
  40. An imbecile? Sounds like he just made billons of dollars in kickbacks. The imbeciles are his delusional supporters.
    18
  41. I despise Trump with all my heart, but I don't believe a word of this accusation, and this is why "Just believe" is such a ludicrous campaign.
    17
  42. That's EXACTLY the point the OP was making! :-)
    17
  43. It amazes me that someone that evil was never assassinated.
    16
  44. Peterson is a drooling idiot.
    16
  45. A robot could easily replace most of the TYT team. Just tell it to read the news in a regressive, whiny, nerve shredding tone of voice and that's Ana gone straight away.
    15
  46. He told Americans EXACTLY who he was before he was elected. He showed that he was vindictive, insecure, vengeful and a world-fucking class scumbag. I just hope that every one of the scumfucks who still support him is choking in their own bigoted bile.
    15
  47. I'd say their relatives are better off without them.
    15
  48. He would never have become Prime Minister in the first place if he didn't suffer from a massive case of Dunning Kruger. Hilarious to see him painstakingly scheme his way to the top, only to be utterly crushed and humiliated and see his lifetime's dreams crumble within a month of getting there. Couldn't happen to a more deserving person. If the US had a functional government, Scump would be in exactly the same position.
    15
  49. I hope that every single one of the bastards who voted against Obamacare simply to make themselves rich gets a similarly incurable condition. Rarely does the universe work to create such poetic justice.
    14
  50. When I want some comic relief from our own pathetic situation here in Britain, I always tune in to the latest events in the banana republic of America. It's like the Fallout 76 of political institutions.
    14
  51. The moronic self delusion of white US Christians is incredible.
    14
  52. I'm confused - what's this man's expertise in virology?
    14
  53. I vote Europe keeps its borders closed for at least the next 50 years. Only way to be sure. That Scump and McConnell and Hannity and Carlson are. dead.
    14
  54. Pointing to communism done wrong and using that to "prove" the veracity of capitalism is not a reasonable position. I could point to an ant, bee or termite colony and use that to show that capitalism is NOT necessary for a community to thrive. But I'm not really arguing against ALL capitalism in any case - I'm arguing against the Libertarian view of capitalism, in which business regulates itself, the wealthy takes care of their workers and share the wealth. We've had that experiment for thousands of years, never has worked, never will. The wealthy are parasites who will exploit until they suck the working classes dry, destroying the planet simply to make an extra buck.
    13
  55. "stratetgy" not a word I'd associate with the Dems so far.
    13
  56. That's because Trump is a world class idiot and a habitual liar, so yes, when every word out of his mouth is a lie, of COURSE we bash him no matter what.
    11
  57. The whole planet should be treating the US like a pariah for its militarism, its manipulation of the stock markets, its human right abuses, and its lack of commitment to democracy.
    11
  58.  @ryanx9372  I think Joe is sincere, open-minded, smarter than he appears, but sometimes annoyingly dumb. But better a curious mind than one stuck in its own ways. His MMA fame gets him MMA guests, but it counts for ZERO when booking his most interesting guests. Do yoy think DeGrasse Tyson cared that he'd been a second-tier fighter once?
    11
  59. "If I don't get my perfect choice, I'm gonna stamp my foot and help burn the whole country down." James needs to get a sense of goddamned priorities.
    11
  60. I think his desire not to be publicly humiliated will be in conflict with laziness and his relief at not having to do the work, but ultimately his capacity for self delusion will spare him any outward pain, but inside, he'll always be that little kid that daddy sent away to military school. I hope it gnaws at him till his dying day.
    10
  61. That' a real shame. Louis has be one of the most important components in the show. It will really lose an important part of its character. I'm really going to miss his quirky perspective on the world. Given his glorious camping trip, he really doesn't strike me as a country boy. His choices of where to live make PERFECT sense to me. Good luck to you Louis.
    10
  62. I'm not a Hillary supporter, but Trump has done more than his share of damage over his lifetime. I'd sooner have a lying opportunist greedy woman in power than a lying opportunist greedy ignorant oversensitive idiot who wants to fight everyone.
    10
  63. Grow up? From a nation that enables its corporations to avoid trillions in taxes are declares money the equivalent to speech? You're delusional.
    10
  64. So David had a lot of time on his hands this afternoon! Lol.
    10
  65. Carlson's concentrating, "I'm deeply concerned about the truth" face would look so much better if encountered a large frying pan at high speed.
    10
  66. 100% in favour of mandatory vaccinations. Kids are not their parent's property, so tyhose parents should not be allowed to ignore the science and gamble with their lives.
    9
  67. It is if your legs are restrained.
    9
  68. So Trump is not going to extend an invitation to Mara Lago to Kim Jong Un. Just think of the delicious chocolate cake you'll be missing Kim!
    9
  69. The ultimate example of feelings over practicality. These people would sooner put everyone's lives at risk than face the consequences of their unbridled gluttony.
    9
  70. What a disappointing interview David. You gave him virtually no chance to expound upon actual anti-aging technologies, sidelined him on one area that has no impact - calorie control, and simply brought your own irrelevancies. Why have a guest as well versed if you're not going to seek HIS ideas. Spend more time asking open-ended questions and less trying to inject your own supposed knowledge into the conversation.
    9
  71. In the western world, ish, although "ever before" is a stretch. Certainly income disparity is at a 50 year high, and today's poverty is way different to say 1930's depression era poverty. And that's a result of EXACTLY the kind of greed that libertarians want more of.
    9
  72. Yeah, they have to do mental gymnastics so that when they deliver their message which is basically, "I'm alright, fuck the poor", it doesn't sound like the words of a selfish monster.
    9
  73. No error. I despise Ted Cruz, but he's the only one of the presidential candidates taht you can respect on this single issue. Trump was a despicable scumbag and he launched attacks he didn't need to. Good for Cruz.
    9
  74. Becoming? America has been a laughing stock ever Obama got elected and the Republicans started acting lie whiney little cry babies. Now Trump is giving the American PUBLIC a chance to look bad as well, and they've risen to the challenge spectacularly.
    9
  75. Very easily depending upon the trigger sensitivity and whether or not it has a safety catch.
    9
  76. It was utter nonsernse then, and it's still nonsense now. Given that Franklin owned slaves, and had a net worth of $43.5 million, it was a particular hypocrisy. If a man cannot better his lot beyond the requirements of his personal needs without the fruit of his labour being considered the property of the public, then the desire to build anything that produces more wealth than his personal needs is eliminated.
    9
  77. You can't kill ISIS or corporates or Trump's insane governance with more guns.
    8
  78. Then stop introducing them to your family.
    8
  79. You seem to be suggesting that I was reducing race to skin colour, which I was not, but there ARE broad racial groups: Polynesian, Caucasian, Asian , Mongoloid, Slavic, etc. These groups have broadly similar external physical features, so it's not unreasonable to assume that there could also be broadly similar brain features. Yes, environment makes a significant difference, but even Erik Turkheimer acknowledges a 10 point IQ difference between black and white Americans, so a 5 or 10 percent genetic component to IQ is MORE than enough to explain this difference, which is well within the reported racial difference.
    8
  80.  @407alberni  Yes - a billionaire grifter who lives in a home with solid gold taps. As long as the GOP senators enable him, he's free to get away with it.
    8
  81.  @yvonnemclay8097  He's spent his entre life cheating and bullying people. If he spent the last week of his life slowly being fed into a mincer I'd STILL consider that he got away lightly for what he has done - just the lives lost due to his deportation policies alone, to say nothing of his attacks on climate science.
    8
  82. That was utterly weaksauce David. If you can't disagree with the PRINCIPLE that someone should not be fired from a news/commentary organisation for making a factually accurate observation about a major public figure, then you probably shouldn;t be in the analysis business.
    7
  83. You don't think that we've had unregulated capitalism more or less since the start of time? I don't know what nations you've been looking at, but on every continent, capitalism is exploitative and harmful.
    7
  84. Yes, he's a loathsome creature who should have been told "no" far more as he was growing up.
    7
  85. America is completely lost.
    7
  86. Jimmy Dore is a childish ass with his heart in the right place. Sam Seder is so far up himself he can see his tonsils, but he's also far smarter than Jimmy. I like and loathe them both in equal measure.
    7
  87. Anyone who cannot make a "lesser of two evils" assessment now does not deserve the right to vote.
    7
  88. America has not in the slightest forgotten. It was deliberately redirected by racist scum on Faux News and in the Whitehouse who wanted to undermine his message.
    7
  89. If Scump stopped working that would be a win for the world.
    7
  90. "poor guy" I wouldn't go that far.
    6
  91. Nonsense. A federal filing is DEFINITELY news.
    6
  92. They'll DEFINITELY change something to ensure another Trump never hijacks the party. Then they'll all pretend to want money out of politics before returning to being a bunch of old white racists.
    6
  93. Guns + Americans = unnecessary deaths. Same difference.
    6
  94. This is the travesty of faith schools in the UK, which get to teach total bullshit without sanction so long as they claim religion. The real concern is the massive and apparently growing number of such schools. It's despicable.
    6
  95. Pat is such a valuable addition to the show. Intelligent, urbane, interesting, understated - the perfect foil for you David. I wish you would do him the courtesy of including him in your credits and on your web site. Even TYT with Cenk's massive ego, acknowledges its co-presenters.
    6
  96.  @nickcason9543  These people lost their livelihood and accrued a month worth of debt for no reason except Trump's petulance and ineptitude. They deserve to be taken care of. Sometimes right is more important than rules.
    6
  97. I don't suppose anyone knows of a company that takes Blinkist audio books and condenses them into a single paragraph?
    6
  98. Totally agree Patricia.
    6
  99. Even the things we KNOW she did are pretty shady. She was a shitty candidate. Get over it.
    6
  100. That's because total self interest is all that counts, but in fairness, that's the American way. If it wasn't how can you explain allowing so many American kids to get murdered by guns?
    6
  101. Sooner the better. Push the Southern states into the ocean.
    6
  102. Riiiight, but you've managed to through it :-/
    6
  103. Yeah, there are third party companies who do this without even operating under the knowledge of the copyright holder.
    5
  104. A vital report. Great job David!
    5
  105. Because it's always been a partnership between you and your school friend.
    5
  106. There is evidence of trade using grain as currency going back 15,000 to the stone age. Where there is trade, there is capitalism.
    5
  107. Please give examples of his history of Hillary favouring dishonesty.
    5
  108. Why on earth would any US news channel cover this when police in America are getting away with murdering citizens and the country is lead by a maniac? Not saying it's not disgusting, but it has zero relevance.
    5
  109. Being mocked by a Trump supporter is like having your grades ridiculed by a kid in Special Ed.
    5
  110.  @bhec7715  What is your basis for that certainty? After all America is a nation that allows its citizens to die because they can't afford health care and its police to get away with murder. It's clear that morality and integrity do not rule.
    5
  111. How the Republican senators can tolerate this hypocrisy without physically vomiting is the most amazing thing. I only hope that it has a very nasty health cost for them all.
    5
  112. If 5G health concerns are conspiratorial, why did Belgium's largest city just ban it on health grounds?
    5
  113. Are you kidding? The entire global landscape has been redefined by these scum. Just today the policeforce in Hertfordshire had to withdraw advice to women on how to stay safe because these SJW vermin whined that it was victim blaming. SJWs are a fucking virus and Pakman is TOTALLY wrong when he suggests that their influence is waning.
    5
  114.  @AmethystWoman  Yeah, demagogues across the planet copying Trump's playbook. Hoping he ends up in jail and they all follow him.
    5
  115. A standard behaviour trait of Dunning Kruger.
    5
  116. Excellent. Here's hoping its permanent.
    5
  117. If America lost Texas and Florida, its average IQ would jump by 30 points.
    5
  118. Delicious? That it revealed how utterly corrupt the GOP is, and how criminally inept the Dems are? I find that deeply depressing.
    5
  119.  @mrnonsense1031  "Alex wouldn't last 4 seconds in a cage match against Joe Rogan." That's why we need to get them in the cage together STAT!
    5
  120. It's not the government's job to manipulate how you choose to spend your time or money. The government's function should be the smooth functioning of society and the general well being of its citizens, not to play nanny.
    5
  121. "You'll just have to pay your fair share and pay a little bit more." That's not their fair share then is it David?
    5
  122. "If you're a smart person..." Let me just stop you there David. Trump will never release his tax returns because they reveal what a loser he is, and the fiction of his business accumen is predicated upon the fcat that he's making bank. Once the truth is revealed, it will scupper all of his future chances.
    4
  123. I love the easy interaction between David and Pat. I miss Louis, but Pat adds a lot to the show. So much less of an ego competition than TYT.
    4
  124. The blind jingoism of assholes like this guy who thinks that all you have to do is put a military uniform on some to turn them into a hero is staggering.
    4
  125. He was characterful, charming and sincere. I liked him a lot.
    4
  126. This might explain why he was so badly behaved at school that he needed to be sent to military academy. Lazy, retarded or stupid. None are good explanations.
    4
  127. So the choice is vote for a criminal, who was put forwards by a dishonest party that thwarted the will of the people, or a lying, bigotted, douchebag, egomaniac who can set America back 500 years? If ever there was need of a revolution, it's now. Never has so little been offered to so many by so few.
    4
  128. On what basis - youtube has no legal obligation to provide the service.
    4
  129. Clinton should NEVER become president on the back of the way that she and schultz have behaved. Awarding schultz a primo job after that is Clinton giving the middle finger to those who never supported her, and to those who argue that she is corrupt. If she can't even be bothered to build a consensus in her own party, why does she deserve to be president? I hope that both she AND trump fail miserably and in abject humiliation, but I can't see it happening.
    4
  130. Enjoyed the conversation between these two David. Hope that they will become regulars.
    4
  131. I sincerely hope so. His entire run was a cynical self promotion exercise. The douche has lived in his own bubble for too long. He started to believe his own bullshit.
    4
  132. The embarrassment of an educated former judge asking "Why would my invisible friend allow this?"
    4
  133. There was a time when Wikileaks was apolitical - they would hold ANY government to account. Then the timing and intent of their email releases made it clear that they were now actors with a particular political allegiance, and were no longer interested in merely reporting the truth - they wanted to affect outcomes. I ALWAYS had suspicions about their motivations, but that was the nail in the coffin.
    4
  134. OF COURSE he lied, why wouldn't he. He lies about EVERYTHING.
    4
  135. $50 for a plain tshirt? Get outta here!
    4
  136. Always mistrusted Assange. Fuck him. The UK government needs to demand that the embassy he's in returns him as an enemy or lose all diplomatic rights. Acting as an enemy of the free world whilst taking advantage of archaic rules of diplomatic immunity is ridiculous.
    4
  137. America needs an emotional bloody nose that will last it for 50 years. It needs to realise it is not the dominant ethical, military, or financial powerhouse on the planet. It needs to start thinking about its own people, rather than the business of every other nation, and it has to, absolutely above everything, get money out of politics and cease viewing corporations as people.
    4
  138. A fop is a sissified male who makes lots of feminine gestures with his hands, wears ruffled collars and overly elaborate clothes and acts like the 1970s TV stereotype of a feminine gay male. They were very fashionable in upper class French society in the 1700s.

  139. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/saudi-arabia-yemen-conflict-bombing-latest-uk-training-pilots-alleged-war-crimes-a7375551.html
    4
  140. TBH, the idea of Scump going after Biden for nepotism would leave him FAR more vulnerable than Biden.
    4
  141. So what you're saying that vast numbers of Americans are short-sighted, selfish and stupid David? Well who would have guessed!
    4
  142.  @1MarkKeller  Agreed.
    4
  143. It only works well in your opinion because you don't understand its impact. Adding 15% to every item of food is painful to those already near the poverty line.
    4
  144. Unless it's a movie that ends with his execution or miserable life sentence, I'm not interested.
    4
  145. So long as it was the murderer, how many did they need to arrest? I just don't understand why the ref hung around...
    4
  146. In which case, I demand to know the religion of all insurees. I find it morally objectionable to pay for the continued survival of Christians.
    4
  147. Greatest country on Earth, so many people tell me. Not seeing it personally.
    4
  148. I can totally believe Scump had a stroke - whilst dreaming of Ivanka.
    4
  149. Spot on. What was that Nietzsce saying "if you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you".
    4
  150.  @Flannelsurfer No, what's unbelievable is that it might not occur to you that I don't LIVE in America where employers can treat their staff like slaves. You DO realise that America makes up less than 5% of the total population of this planet yes? Unbelievable that I need to explain this to an adult.
    4
  151. lol
    3
  152. I didn't find this guy particularly convincing. Modesty is one thing, but saying "I think, I think, I think," or "I feel" is not the kind of comments I want from someone who supposedly knows his stuff, and this is the whole problem surrounding dietary research - all opinions - constantly changing - and insuffucient trusworthy facts.
    3
  153. We all know what the term loosely means, and Donald more than fits the definition, so yes, definitely.
    3
  154. I agree completely Mark. Reza is a douche for many reasons, but if we don't defend free speech for the people we dislike, then we don't care about free speech at all.
    3
  155. I greatly doubt that's how it works.
    3
  156. He's giving all the clues that he's not serious - why is no one paying attention to them?
    3
  157. Despise Trump but who cares if he offers an adult sex professional money for sex. Better that than raping her.
    3
  158. I hate him with all my heart, but I cut Trump a lot of slack here. We know he doesn't express himself in sophisticated terms and assuming that he's seen nothing, it's laudible that he would defend a friend even when it's not politically expedient.
    3
  159. I have about 3 months worth of supplies. Unfortunately it's all cake.
    3
  160. Hilarious, and Pat took it well. I really grew to like Louis a lot in the same way as you grow to care about the special kid in class, but Pat is a lot sharper, pleasant but perhaps more ordinary. I dunno, though, Louis had a great deal of bumbling charm. His camping trip is still the stuff of legend.:-) I liked the way that his connection to the show was because of David's loyalty to their friendship as kids.
    3
  161. Or serving revenge cold... Trump SHOULD pay consequences for the way he has acted.
    3
  162. Agreed. It's the lack of forethought or a backup plan that I find amazing.

  163. Twitter is a business. So long as they act within the law, to say notrhing of their TOS, they are perfectly reasonable in not allowing douchebags like Milo to round up troll armies to go spew racist hate at a woman whose only crime was being in a movie they didn't like.

  164. What problem is that?

  166. Trump has walked right into the Clinton's trap. He needs to focus on the irregularity of the meeting, rather than making accusations. And as David says, the email thing is massive now. Still, he could save that till they go head to head if he had a gram of self restraint.

  167. Good riddance Milo - glad to see you go. Now if he can get banned from the entire internet, he can fade back to irrelevance.

  171. I definitely enjoy the interactions between David and Pat. Of all the Shows, TYT, Seder Report, Jimmy Dore, et all, he's far and away the most pleasant and articulate team member. Not too strident, not too submissive, intelligent, well educated.
    3
  172. "Questioning everyone is a good thing." No it's not. You end up questioning your own existence. Jimmy is utterly devoid of pragmatism. A rapist is passionate. Does it make them good people? Jimmy has the angry idealism of a college student who has not actually gone out and done a real job and doesn't know how the world really works. He's shown time and again that he doesn't understand the issues, yet he still raves like a pigeon shouter.
    3
  173. When the issue becomes more important than his mission, regardless of whether or not he was right, he should probably quit. That said, this feels like a hatchet job. In this new "me too" era, all you have to do is make an accusation to destroy their life's work.

  174. Who EVER had confidence in him? He was grossly underqualified and that's the very BEST thing anyone could ever say about him.

  179. Peterson has spewed so much nonsense, even within his field of so-called expertise that I was suspicious about him almost from the start. His generalisation on atheists, his refusal to answer whether or not he believed in God, his potted "wisdom", his tears of compassion. He's milking it for all he's worth, and the rebellious alt-right are all drinking everything down.

  180. Hanging a body up after the person has been executed is not what any reasonable educated person deems to be crucifixion. It may be distasteful, but it's still better than the USA does to its poor.

  181. I miss hearing from Pat. He was a very pleasant, intelligent young guy, with an easy-going style. Also, I wonder what happened to the quirky guy two before him (Louis). Didn't he go off to live in a cave or something? I doubt it, given his less than legendary camping skills!

  182. I'm not a Republican but I am poor and I think that people are entitled to keep a decent percentage of what they earn. Fix all the problems in the system, don't simply set an arbitrary point at which you will start stealing from them.

  183.  @Zomgtforly There is NO DOUBT that America needs to implement minimum wage laws in line with the cost of living. The idea of bosses earning tens of thousand sof times the incomes of their workers by paying their employees below a living wage is an utter travesty.

  185. VAT is dreadful. Take it from a Brit who suffers from it. Everything I buy for business, I then have to add 20% and that is a MASSIVE factor in whether or not I buy. I cannot always pass that on to my customers because competitors are importing from China and not adding VAT. Also, the government uses it for behaviour modification - charging more for fuel, tobacco, alcohol, etc. Also, doing VAT returns is a real pain, and because VAT is collected from customers BEFORE you do your taxes, the government is absolutely draconian in its collection methods. And finally, more money for the government is always pissed away, never spent wisely. In America's case, it'll go on tax cuts for the wealthy and the military.

  186. "What if they gave a war and nobody came" - maybe Lindsey Graham et all would have to start sending THEIR kids to fight. Ha ha ha. Just joking, they'd just find a way to make the military more attractive to dumb kids again.

  189. David, I lost a little bit of respect for you today. How can you be so partisan and blind? At best, Amanda is painfully naive and out of touch. She (and you) epitomises someone living in the liberal bubble, and she's why people with hardcore liberal values like me, as well as former feminists are ashamed to adopt either label any more. We've all seen conference after conference destroyed by "liberals" who destroy loudspeakers, tear down posters, set off fire alarms, physically harass delegates and speakers, make so much noise that events cannot continue, and force colleges to cancel amid security concerns. And that's to say nothing of the physicality of Antifa and BLM. David, this is not merely the expression of free speech. Free speech uses ideas to combat ideas. These people and movements are not interested in any ideas that are not their own, and their own ideas are extremely toxic.
    3
  190. No, just America and Russia hopefully.

  191.  @SteinarHusby  We have basic income in the UK and a lower VAT rate, but poverty is still at record highs. VAT is a regressive tax and hurts the poorest most, no matter what other systems are in place.

  192. Well that was utterly pathetic David. For starters, "legal" is simply a judicially determined rule that has no bearing upon something's "rightness", nor upon the beliefs or values of the people upon whom it is applied. The Social Contract is a concept put forwards by Rousseau, which you butchered. My parents do not have the right to make legal decisions in my childhood that will contractually obligate me to ANYTHING except citizenship as an adult. Rousseau's social contract refers to the agreement of the governed to BE governed providing they receive reasonable value from that governance. Your version amounts to a South Park, redneckian version of "If you don't like it, you can git out," which is about the weakest possible argument that you could make, not least because there is NOWHERE on the planet that you could go to avoid being subject to the taxation of ANOTHER state. Your silly argument about simply not paying taxes is PRECISELY what anti-tax proponents mean when they talk about being forced to pay under threat of violence. It is LITERALLY coercion to obey a rule you had nothing to do with creating and cannot opt out of. As you yourself said, you have almost zero chance of eliminating taxation by lobbying or even standing for office. The strongest argument in favour of taxes is simply that if you wish to avail yourself of the things that taxes pay for, then you need to contribute your fair share to receive those things. The strongest argument against taxes, is the astronomical misuse of those taxes on weapons, vanity projects, needless drug enforcement, despicable politicians and more. Frankly, from a man that I respect and usually agree with, this was an embarrassingly poor refutation of the position of those who oppose taxation.

  198. "Roy Moore was a MP in Vietnam it was literally his job to STOP this Discusting Acts" Ahh, that makes a massive difference. Thank you for clarifying. And today as his career lies in tatters, his past has caught up with him. Excellent news. Let's hope Trump goes down even more spectacularly.
    3
  199. I would just add, that pedophilia is a learned targetting of the sexual response. The reasons for such targetting can easily be understood in psychological terms. Undoing them is difficult because there may be strong emotional attachments to that targeting and resistance to giving it up. That psychologist was a total douche who doesn't even know his own discipline. If his comments are indicative of his skill, he should be struck off.
    3
  200. Oh do me a favour David - how damned blind do you have to be not see this massive shift to the left? So disappointed to see a generally on-point fellah like you voicing these silly opinions. It's not just anecdotes - there's news story after news story. University always had a left bias, which is fine, but now they've become intellectual cess pits.

  202.  @edwardburner2721 I wouldn't visit the US to take a dump, especially since Trump became president. Shithole nation. Once went to restaurant in Pennsylvania. Waitress was rude and surly the whole time and the food was appalling so we left nothing. She chased us out into the street screaming "Where's my fucking tip?" we replied "Where's our fucking service?!" and walked away.

  204. @Lies Bus I rebutted the argument with my third sentence. The fact that BF was a capitalist oligarch simply serves to highlight the hypocrisy of his statement which stood in opposition to the way he lived his own life. He died with more money than he could possibly need. Moreover, I was not putting forwards a strawman. Don't use the terminology if you don't understand it. I did not construct a false version of the OP's position then knock that down. I addressed his quote directly and rebutted that.
    3
  205. The issue I have David, is that I could create a doctrine with a single command "Be nice to people and show only love everywhere you go." Then somebody who purports to be a member of my love doctrine goes out and kills people. Is it fair to blame my doctrine for the misapplication by a psycopath? If you're going to claim that this truck murder, or the assassination is a "Muslim" issue, then you need to show a convincing connection between the teachings of Islam, and the actions of its followers.

  208. So Comcast actually wants to track your BROWSING habits and sell that data - attached to your name and address, to third parties? That goes WAY beyond an invasion of privacy, and can actually endanger your liberty, your relationships, your career and your life. This is a staggering step up in the move to monetise your privacy and personalise advertising. Just imagine if current or future emploiyers have access to that data for instance...

  210. The connection is disgusting, but frankly, the west supporting a dixctatorship over a democracy is disgusting in any case. It's not for us to lend or withhold legitimacy from other peoples. What if the world refused to acknowledge America now that it's ruled by an ammoral douchebag?
    2
  211. I fear that there is something so corrosive about becoming president that it destroys even the highest of values within a year of being in office. And that's with someone reasonably principled like Obama. With a malleable moron like Trump he just blows in the wind.
    2
  212. If ever there was a case for changing the constitution so that government department heads should have worthwhile qualifications in the subjects they will lead, this administration is it. I hope Trump dies slowly, screaming in agony for what he has done to America and the planet.

  214. It's not that people merely don't understand Ebola. I don't understand gene therapy, and I'm not afraid of that. It's that those who supposedly are there to guide the nation, actively misinformed everybody and wilfully created panic.

  215. Despicable attempts to stifle and discourage reasonable dissent on behalf of the corporate masters.

  216. That last question was a blatant attempt to undermine this guy by suggesting that controversial views in one area affect his credibility in an unrelated area. If you were interviewing Charles Koch on the way he has ruined the planet, you don't round off with a question about the selfie he sent to his girlfriend. This entire issue seems ludicrous to me. It's getting more passionate and sustained attention that dishonest journalism in the  mainstream media, and that costs lives!

  217. Why?

  218. You can't imagine anything that could happen to make Hillary lose. Are you kidding? There's never been a more vulnerable candidate.

  219. Oh buddy, compared to the way the Republicans have acted since Obama got in, this is schoolyard stuff. The Republican party should be dissolved for its betrayal of the America people the past 8 years.

  220. I agree that Trump is a threat to the planet, but that doesn't mean you want an anti-science conspiritard in power.

  221. I'd be more concerned about the reality that you all just elected a raving lunatic as president. Seriously, I haven't seen a formerly civilised nation fall apart as quickly or as badly since Nazi Germany. To quote your Orangutan elect, "Sad".

  222. I'm sorry but I disagree with David and the people below. In the first question, it was either a subject that she had heard or it wasn't. It clearly wasn't, and not knowing that it was specific term, she attempted to draw a distinction between the two wordds, and I didn't think her answer was dreadful. As for the accountability issue, one could envision government funded schools that for whatever reason, are less accountable because they are run with different goals in mind. Far from being ignorant in her comprehension, she refused to give a glib soundbite answer that could subsequently be used against her without knowing the entirety of school situations out there. When she WAS eventually forced to give an answer, she rightly took a position that did not match Kaine's - the only answer ANY truthful person could reasonably have given.
    2
  223. It must be great for you to simply put everybody into neat little boxes so you can make easy judgements huh? And for the record, I'm a well educated Brit. This is a horrible candidate, just as Trump himself is, but I was simply pointing out that the basis for David's contempt in this case may not be justified. It's called nuance, you should look it up some time.

  226. What a stupid video. If people had the willpower to simply give up sugar, they'd have done it long ago. Clearly there is a correlation between people prepared to pay the high cost of sweeteners, and obesity. They are the people most looking for a magic bullet, and if the study hasn't allowed for that it's useless. It's like a study that says "Gun ownership amongst people who have been mugged is higher", without examining the relationship.

  227. Milo's character is already wide open to assault. I look forwards to him trying to sue Twitter. They'll crush him like the boy he is.
    2
  228. Ah the old "tolerate my intolerance or you're being intolerant" argument. Nice try.Free speech is not and never has been free. It has consequences. Milo is fine when the consequences are the unjustified persecution of this woman, but he wants to whine when the consequence is his ejection from a private business. Don't know what Twitter said about Milo, or if it was true. I'm just happy to see him shut up from that forum. I hope youtube and the other video sites follow suit.
    2
  229. That's as may be. Personally, I think they should have simply said that they don't like the way he uses their platform to harass others, and for that reason he's banned. There is a certain implicit truth that he KNOWS that his sycophantic followers will take what he does and run with it, especially when he jumped into the fray o the back of some despicably racist and hatefully unwarranted attacks on the woman.

  231. The massive difference is Ailes had a long reputation for this behaviour - Trump doesn't. Don't get me wrong, it's certainly well within Trump's psychological profile, but I just don't think that's how he gets his sexual jollies.

  233. Ha ha - lost his voice trying to lie about values that would lead to the best result for all. His subconscious stress response undermined his buillshit.
    2
  234. I think Dave is being disingenuous if he honestly believes that allowing people to talk unchallenged will always reveal their true feelings, or that an audience who is not well informed will be able to recognise their dishonesty. There have been occasions when I have felt that Dave was simply providing a platform for people to espouse their opinions, rather than actually interviewing them.
    2
  235. Don't be foolish.. I was quite CLEARLY not complaining for the sake of complaining. I articulated specific shortfalls in this interview. If I have to know this man's work in advance, and even knowing that, the interview barely touches upon it, then what the hell is the point of the interview?
    2
  236. Given that the title of this video is "Will humans cure aging?" wasting five minutes discussing an avenue that will NOT contribute to any cure is pointless. If the piece was "Will we ever travel faster than light", and then they wasted ten minutes talking about electric golf carts, I'd find it equally irritating. Given the wealth of interesting avenues forwards this could have followed, I find it implausible that Aubrey requested the opportunity to decry the theories of others rather than championing his own avenues, and frankly even he seemed somewhat surprised by the abrupt conclusion to the interview.

  240. Seems like a recipe for ensuring that the wealthy move overseas.

  241. This was 100% inevitable. But then the internet is full of videos that men have secretly recorded of each other in bathrooms, so what what's new? This could just as easily have been a lesbian taking photos. This woman is basically Mr Garrison, a trans lesbian man.

  242. Given that Hillary is so utterly dishonest, you'd never be short of things to talk about. Also I don't imagine police will stop murdering people, ISIS will make peace, or poverty will be solved simply because Hillary gets in.
    2
  243. No it's not. Effort is a very subjective and controversial way of earning grades. He has no certain way of knowing how much effort it takes for one student over another to do their work, nor to quantify the challenges that some students may have in simply being average. Their knowledge of the subject should be the only criteria.

  246. Gamergate is based on a naïve belief that ANYTHING you read in the reviews media is impartial. When this has blown over, and the industry has briefly done its 5 minutes of reform, things will go back to being exactly how they were before because it suits everyone except the readers to do it this way. And the vast majority of readers either don't give a damn, or have always viewed reviews with justified scepticism.

  248. Carl is a pseudo intellectual demagogue. He thinks he's revealing great truth about the world, but most of the time all he's doing is attacking the low-hanging fruit.

  253.  Mycel  So you'd sooner see one massive bully crushing the planet, than 3 or 4 squabbling over it? If America shut its borders and never interacted with the rest of the planet again, we'd be happier because of it.

  256. Your entire premise is ridiculous. It's not the SPORT that causes the problems, it's the way the sport is handled. By and large, Amercans are FAR more aggressive that Britons, yet we've had numerous riots at socccer games. Why? Because the fans are penned in like animals, forced to stand for hours on end, and the entire tribal nature is accentuated by the allocation of seating. Its not the sport, it's the way that the sport is managed. How many riots in American soccer matches? None.
    2
  257. I've always thought that the age of consent should be puberty, not a one size fits all. Of course, proving puberty without risking breaking the law is the issue, so 15 or 16 is a sensible compromise. Americans love to infantilise their kids so they remain pure until their 20s. As you can tell with alcohol laws. :-/

  259.  @Noah_McCurry  I'm sorry but you're wrong. If you start following a youtube channel about cars and it starts covering cooking all the time, you get pissed off or move on. I stopped giving my patreon dollars to two or three channels for exactly that. David's MO is politics and important issues. Many people don't come here simply because he exists. He not particularly funny or entertaining and his delivery style is like dry ice so when fails to deliver on his core product, people are rightly disappointed. I keep unsubscring, then I'll see him address an issue I care about and come back. I don't do that for other channels.

  261. Diplomatic immunity is a nicety, not a place for law breakers to hide. When our police woman was sniped from the Libyan embassy, we should have taken the place by force immediately, or demanded they give up the killers. As for your comments about holding the rich and powerful accountable, I completely get where you are coming from. That's the dichotomy though. There's no way that Assange is qualified or knows enough background info to know what info is safe to release, but on the other hand, the government does indeed need to be held accountable. Vigilantes make great theatre, but in real life it's a lot more complicated, and as soon as he started releasing Clinton's emails, the illusion that he was a good actor was shattered. He was just another person trying to influence the system. Arguably, he is greatly responsible for the election of the worst despot in the past 100 years of American history.

  262.  @kennethbmann  Hmmm. It'll be interesting to see how this all pans out. I hope it destroys the Republican's electability for a generation, but then as this is a weapon the Dems have also disgracefully weilded, I don't see it.

  263.  BLAIR M Schirmer  How is it ANYONE'S right to declare "I don't like how much money you accumulate therefore I will simply steal it from you." You can use all the justifications you like but ultimately you are simply stealing from somebody because you don't like the way that they choose to live. By all means close every single loophole, give zero financial aid, award no contracts, take away lobbying and donor rights, but the second you place an earnings cap you are acting immorally AND stifling productivity.

  272. The USA's reputation imploded when you elected a moron as president, and it has been in freefall ever since. The fact that his ego is costing tens of thousands of lives now is only fitting, and the failure of the GOP to eject him is the real disgrace that has slaughtered your reputation.
    2
  273. I thought the point was perfectly clear and there was nothing wrong with it. It enhances the discussion because it reminds a small percentage of people that as casual as some people try to make it, abortion is an act that will remain in your psyche forever, so be sure that you don't do casually or for the wrong reasons.
    2
  274. I despise the US at the moment. But that's irrelevant. I've lost track of the number of police executions and abuses I've seen from the US in the past 10 years. And what about Guantanamo - using rectal feeding as torture on innocent people. What about Abu Gharib prison? What about drone striking civilians? What about arming Mexican cartels? What about executing peasant boys in Afghanistan and using the photos of the dead child for entertainment? I could go on all day about America's despicable human rights record. It's in NO position to be pointing the finger.

What I saw was Packman asking a a valid question about Ventura's interaction with Jones, and Ventura clear as day saying that he was a publicity whore who'd stoop to any depths provided he got the chance to promote his book. Ventura's claim to be powerless in deciding which shows to accept was particularly pathetic.

  282. Fingers crossed he infected the entire Republican senate. Losing them all would be a net positive for the world.

  283.  @SteinarHusby  I appreciate that VAT doesn't exist in a vaccuum but rather amidst a basket of other potential solutions, but in the UK, those solutions are not explored. Indeed our welfare program has recently become so hash that thousands have been committing suicide or dying. It's fine to say "well let's make the overall package beneficial" but there has to be both political and social will to do so. Regrettably, in Britain, welfare is a bad word and we have been educated to see all recipients as scroungers, rather than the people any of us could become. You do make some excellent points Steinar. I just fear Britain is too entrenched in media-led regressive thinking to take them onboard.

  284. No need to scream dear. I'm perfectly capable of comprehending your inanity if you type in sentence case. I am well aware that he was on bail. They said so repeatedly throughout this video. No research was needed to be aware of the fact you patronising wench. At no point did he ask anyone to harm Hillary - merely to acquire a lock of her hair. It's creepy, mildly inadvisable and...? I'm not even sure it breaks a law, much less represents any kind of threat.

  285. God is trotted out on demand any time a politician wants to distract or virtue signal. Ironically they are some of the least virtuous human beings on this planet.

  287. Wow, what a patronising perspective. The greatest contribution anyone has is to vote and persuade others how to vote.

  288. It's not that Americans were so dumb as to vote him in - it was easy to understand the desire for change - but the fact that so many Americans STILL support him, and that Congress has utterly abdicated its responsibilities to keep him in check is beyond forgiveness. America is terminally broken now and I despise it.

  289. Your first example was far from clear. You used the implication of the word "high" in the second premise rather than the actual word, leading to confusion. That said, thoroughly enjoying the series.
    2
  290. I don't know - in the pre-Trump era, these sort of comments would forever disqualify someone from achieving high office. I think that some positions need to have showed lifelong good judgement, not simply an evolution from scumbag to okay. The fact that Cenk apologised possibly does not negate that necessity.
    2
  291.  @TheEvertw  I think you're being optimistic to assume that Scump will not win another term, let alone that all the scum he's padded to supreme court with will not protect him.

  292.  @christhompson9486  Definitely. They have better survival instinctincts.

  294. The humane part of me says absolutely not. What kind of people would we be ifwe just stood back and watched a psycho bully kill millions of people. But the prosaic part says that these situations ALWAYS seem to come back and bite us on the ass, because the after-effects are impossible to calculate. I don't think we should abstain because it's difficult, but because we have learned a little humility.

  295.  @ryanx9372  I think you do Joe a disservice. I think he's a lot deeper than you give him credit for, but I'll admit I thought about him as you do for a number of years.

  298. Hypocrisy is stock in trade in politics. Few politicians are free of that stain. That's a side issue. If it's not enough to dissuade voters on either side, why should it matter now? And did he claim to be a Christian then?

  299. My concern is that the supreme court has been so stacked with cronies that justice will never again be done.

  307. This is simply indicative of Trump's laziness, unwillingness to learn and monstrous arrogance. To him, everyone else on the planet - including Erdogan - are just plebs to be exploited. What a terrific shame Trump is still alive.

  308. Grow up Mario, this not the schoolyard. Now please show me where the Quran advocates terrorism against innocent people or suicide attacks. As I understand it, the Quran expressly FORBIDS suicide and it was one of the Ayatollahs who reinterpreted it to make it say that it was desirable. And I never said nor even implied that the Quran said "Be nice to people" (although millions of Muslims see it that way). I was simply using that as an example to show how an ideology could be hijacked.

  309. The key to making a positive change is having a reason beyond the achievement itself. Slim because you want to look great on the beach, quit smoking because you want to run faster, go to bed early because you want to cook your kids breakfast in the mornings.

  311. Yes that's true - that's how toll roads used to work in the past. We have a bridge/tunnel (Dartford Tunnel) near me that operates like that. It's critical in the area and it was supposed to operate as a toll only until it paid for itself, but here we are decades past that point, and they put the price up repeatedly and millions of people are held to ransom. Hard to give up that cash cow once they have it.

  313. Had the Republicans been strong, they would never have allowed Trump to gain this much power so Trump is right unfortunately.
    1
  314. Agreed. OC, their greatest weakness was their deference to money.

  315. It's breathtaking how evil the Republicans have become. Truly despicable, and the Dems are barely any better. I'd be sick to my stomach if I had to live in America right now. So, so relieved that I never activated my dual nationality and moved there. What a regressive shithole. If this is what "exceptionalism"looks like, you can keep it thanks. Roll on the revolution, if you can stop eating and watching TV long enough.

  319. It seems to that repeatedly complaining how terrible things are and ebegging is not the way forwards, although I appreciate your need to fill a short term shortfall. It seems to me that there is a need for cohesive action against advertisers or youtube for this ban. There must be thousands of channels suffering. How many millions of of views do you collectively represent? If you all fought back en masse maybe you could achieve something. And if not, this crisis has only reiterated what I have always warned: anyone depending for a living on a service over which they have no control is a fool.

  325. Nothing to see here. Is her single jet flight any more wasteful thatn the thousands of miles on tour buses complete with entourage? Is it worse than the yacht she may have vacationed on, or the power used for the DNC convention? Her time is at an absolute premium and she's super rich. If she wants to take an occasional jet to save hours of waiting with 80+ days until her bid for the presidential election, let her.

  326. They already contribute. Fuel is taxed. Vehicles are taxed. They pay for the vehicles and rail. Why should they pay more for those services than is ALREADY built into their greater usage?

  327. Jeez, the promotion is getting out of control. Maybe you should become an anti feminist or a drama channel - apparently that can get you 3 million subs in a year. Or if you want to hit the big time, start hating on Steve Shives or Anita Sarkeesian. Easier than Amazon plugging.
    1
  328. Yes that's a fair point. I'm kind of glad that there's a ceiling on being a negative dick. Unless you're appealing to the teen market, then the ceiling seems limitless but fleeting. Kind of thinking that Sarkeesian's star is waning as well though.

    1
  338. She's by no means gotten away with that. Even if nothing more damaging was revealed in the emails (and I don't exclude that), if Trump's campaign is smart (ha ha) they can make massive hay out of that as the election nears. And there's a shockingly huge list of former employees and Clinton associates who have died at very convenient times. And the whole pay to play thing has more legs. And the DNC manipulation that excluded Sanders. And the fact that she has a very corporate bunch of advisors. And her foreign connections. Just knowing what we already know, she's as vulnerable as a new born wildebeest alone in the Serengeti.

  339. People don't like conspiracy theories? Have you been living on Earth the past 20 years? ;-) Hillary's health, Benghazi, the shape of the Earth, the moon landings, the holocaust, JFK killing, 911, whether Trump is seriously trying to win the election, America's relationship to Saudi Arabia, etc, etc. People LOVE conspiracy theories, and if Trump's campaign could put together something coherent about the Clinton deaths, you can be sure that they'll do so. After all, they have no shame claiming that the election is rigged.

  340. So being an edge lord is enough to ruin your whole life? That seems harsh, but given the shit that's being taught in universities nowadays it was probably a mercy.

  341. So ruining their entire lives is a proportionate sentence for being a teenage idiot?
    1
  342. "monumentally stupid"? A few silly edge-lord comments on a facebook page? Jeez, not much mercy in your heart is there? I sure hope you're not a judge, but I'm gonna guess you're christian. Given that the prime minister of britain fucked a pig and the prime minister of the US was sent to military school for striking his teacher, it seems that the rest of the world is a lot more forgiving than you are.

  347. Yes, that's a reasonable point Kraken. I have no doubt that like Trump himself, she was woefully underprepared for the interview. But look how far that's taken Trump!
    1
  348. Not technologically savvy? How naive are you David. She was technologically savvy enough to erase some of her mails thoroughly enough to be irretrievable by the most tech savvy agency in the world. She wilfully kept her emails private so that her communications could not be be scrutinised. THAT is the most serious issue and it should immediately disqualify her from running.

  349. Merkel's stock is falling since the Greek debackle and Brexit, to say nothing of the deluge of toxic immigrants harming natives across Europe. If France leaves, that will tarnish her control freakish reputation still further.

I trust this about as much as I trust some long faded star telling me Pizzagate is a thing, which is to say it's not beyond the bounds of possibility, but my credulity that Moby has the kind of contacts that the most powerful, dangerous people on the planet could only wish for is stretched pretty thin. Be great if it was all true though.

  353. How do you KNOW that?
    1
  354. Yes, he is a sell out because ultimately he has demonstrated that for the expediency of beating Donald Trump, he is prepared to sign up to a woman who has a track record as a corporatist, going against his principles. But worse than that, he's a fool because he showed that he was unable to play the game how it needs to be played to win. High minded principles are fine, but if you never get to a position of power where you can enact them, then you are just a bag of worthless hot air wasting people's money and belief. In some ways, he has done more harm than good by showing people that you can't beat the system. This was a unique opportunity to harness a massive frustration with modern politics following Republican response to the Obama administration, and enact real change. Instead he has squandered that and maybe set America's revolution back decades.
    1
  355. Exactly what I thought.

  356. So, his Asian girlfriend dumped him. What a tragic waste of an intellect. His true colours showing at the end though. Anyone who cannot denounce a man who lead to the deaths of 100 million people is a scumbag or so delusional as to be dangerous.

  357. Don't take the piss if you're clueless. She used software called bleachbit. It uses overwriting algorithms to overwrite data to a standard that the military would use for their data protection rather than simply rewriting using 1s and 0s which can be broken through.

  358. His supporters have already embarrassed America. But saying to get over ye more wilful deception by Hillary is oddly blind. She should have faced charges for that and many other things. She's a despicable candidate.

  360. You might as well have said "If you can find a thousand tons of sand in a desert, you can find 50 grains on a football field." If Afghanistan and Vietnam teach us anything it's that geurilla tactics are far harder to cope with than outright warfare. And it was 5.7 million Jews. And even then the Nazis missed 2 million, who were living right under their noses.

    1
  363. I can't help but feel that we are being manipuated on both sides to an unprecedented degree this election. The timing of the all these revelations is no accident, and it seems to be a reflection on the weakness of the media that they have not been covered in more detail earlier if these are credible accusations.

  367. This is better news for the rest of the world than for America. A trans Pacific partnership - even one that was anti-free trade, strengthened America's corporate business. Not only does its scuppering make America less competitive, but the propoosed protections on copyrights, etc, would have cost the rest of the world valuable access to affordable alternatives to overprice pharmaceuticals and other products. Given America's existing multimedia and entertainment protectionism across the globe, I see anything that limits its further stranglehold as a positive move.
    1
  368. I agree. Just as the EEC vastly overstepped its mandate, so too was the TPP spreading into areas it had no real business getting into. It was basically protectionism of a most concerning sort.
    1
  369. I'm not sure exactly how much non corporate trade happens internationally, and perhaps there are areas of intersection between corporate trade and that of smaller businesses, but again, I agree with  your general sentiment that we don't want America's trade policy constructed solely around what is best for international corporations.
    1
  370. And it's already happened in any case...
    1
  371. I really like the easy-going relationship between these two. It's not forced like many of these other shows. It's a pity that David doesn't credit this young man more prominently (or at all on his web site). He deserves the recognition.
    1
  372. I don't doubt for one second that all that you say about revealing sexual abuse is true, but please don't play the "you're not a woman" card. It's even worse for males. I could QUITE easily believe that Trump was a rapist. It fits his power MO perfectly. He's insecure, obsessed with proving himself, and he doesn't take rejection at all well. I just don't believe that he raped THIS woman. To make this revelation the week before the conference is just too convenient, too politically perfect.
    1
  373. There would be nothing sad if he was suffering dementia. I hope it comes on overnight brought about by the stress of being a world-class douche bag.

  374. You SHOULD still care about her emails. In spite of the fact that Trump has turned out to be exactly the monster we all predicted, Hillary could be proven before the election to be actively interfering with a federal investigation by destroying evidence. She and Bush before her should both face charges for what they did. Hillary was an APPALLING candidate, and petulantly making a lesser of two evils argument now is asinine. The DNC are the ones who GIFTED Trump this win.
    1
  375. Hmmm, I appreciate that the precise details of the subject are likely above all of our heads, but I'm sure that there were a wealth of areas that could have been discussed in layman's terms. Had David asked more open ended questions rather than trying to inject his own ignorance into the conversation, Aubrey could have made this more informative. I felt that David was simply waiting for his opportunity to speak, rather than actually listening.
    1
  376. Trump - the Ferengi of Earth. I just hope it backfires massively. Strange, 9/11 seems less unreasonable with each passing day. America kills their civilians. They kill America's. America is way in profit on that deal.

  377.  @markislivingdeliberately  So you're asserting that people are fed now primarily because of capitalism? Not better health, large scale agriculture, more effective fertilisers and pest control, improved transport, better industry, democratic government, and an entire plethora of additional factors. Then you tell me to read a history book. Things must be so easy for you in simple land.
    1
  378.  @markislivingdeliberately You appear to be starting start with a conclusion then ignore all facts that contradict that conclusion. The ancient Babylonians, Egyptians and Romans all used fertiliser. That was not brought about by capitalism. There has rarely been a time since the birth of agriculture that it was not advantageous to grow more food for less effort. Capitalism as a political structure was started in the 17th century. Barter and then trade - the core essence of capitalism - has existed for many thousands of years. Fixating on the Paleolithic era 12,000 years ago as you r starting point is completely disingenuous and arbitrary. Why no neolithic man, or the Greeks? Man was only just starting to learn how to use tools during the paleolithic era, so your starting date is like looking at a baby and compaining that he's useless at body building. Man had developed farming by 11,000 BC, and was using a system of barter 6000 years ago. It was not capitalism that lead to trade - it was specialisation, domestication of beasts of burden and efficiency. It was also the growth in community size. But to be clear, I am not opposed to capitalism as a general principle - just unregulated capitalism. You have created a strawman of my position.

  411. There's no definition of athlete in which a gamer (except on the wii) is an athlete or a sportsman.

  417. Obama is a menace. He's the worst kind of coward. He appeases the wrong people. He's a huuge dsappointment, but the US people should ensure that the Republicans never again get a sniff of power because they have partially reduced him to this mewling sycophantic spineless man. If Obama was less concerned about concensus, and the Republicans were less concerned about being massive obstructionist racist dicks, America could be a much better place today than 6 years ago and everyone could shine.
    1
  418. "Cogent" - great word! :-) I always liked Louis, and I really liked that David had him as part of the team out of friendship loyalty, but he was quirky. I agree though, it does make me suspicious that David won't even CREDIT Pat.

  422. Who said he called for an alibi? I agree that this was threatening stalking behaviour, and even if Trayvon DID attack Martin, that the situation was entirely of Martin's creation. But then, this is the lunacy of stand your ground law in the first place.

  423. They did. Initally tey were told that there would be no action against gay athletes, then a few days later that was revised and they were told that openly gay athletes would potentially face imprisonment.

  425. Another terrific report. Having the courage to challenge the establishment position is exactly what alternative media should be all about. If you believed, for evidenciary reasons, that Republicans were decent politicians, or that gay people should not marry, then I'd want to hear it. Likewise, if you believed that gay people were actually better parents, or that religion is a disease, I'd want you to express the evidence and your opinions on that too.

  438. NPC does NOT mean "non participating character" it means "non player character". It's generally used to denote the filler characters in a role playing game NOT a platformer like Mario! The insult is designed to suggest that you are simply following a pre-programmed script and I think it can somewhat be levelled at everyone in the Trump era where we have become so polarised, but you're correct, if it applies to anyone especially, it's the hard right and Trumpists.

  441.  @ZAGGNUT1  I disagree. Social media has reach that text forums never did. They appealled to a few dozen - few hundred people at best. In the case of the alt right, it was the confluence of nerd and bigot which was a really small pool, more comparable to a small conversation. And even NOW if I'm in a forum that has a heavy-handed moderator, I'd leave and go somewhere less restrictive. Now, social media has become the public square. Alex Jones clearly crosses the line into incitement to violence. Milo is just a dickhead like Sargon, but saying that Muslims are a threat is not even controversial. yuet it merited a ban. It may be an overgeneralising, but should people be silenced for that? I was in a politics forum and I said that Israel's treatment of the Palestinians was appalling and I got banned for "Anti-semitism". The fact is, there are external agendas at play here. Someone is consciously manipulating things so that all of our values are up for question in an existentially unhealthy manner. It has been demonstrated that Russian trolls have contributed to anti-vaxxing, as well as the political dialogue. The solution is better counter narratives, not suppression.

  443. It's odd that we're debating this because we both seem to be on different parts of what is essentially the same side of the fence. But yes, your final statement is what I am referring to - what wikipedia calls "causal determinism". There have been compelling results to suggest that the physical brain functions as you have decribed. It would hardly be a surprise, gven that our brains are northing more than programs running programs written by our life experience.

  445. At no point have I said anything worthy of ridicule by a reasonable minded person. You may disagree with what I say, and that's fine, but your constant desire to win by making childish insults is deeply revealing of your insecurity. It's a pity that you can't have a grown up conversation though - it's a subject worthy of debate. I'll leave you now to insult others to bolster your need for hollow victory. Your damaged ego will doubtless require the last word.

  451. For me, all facial imagining is as a mental sketch artist where whole faces pop into my mind, then I take the parts you need and discard the parts you don't. Reading a book, unless the author deliberately describes the character's physical attributes, I just have a vague idea of their appearance, not anything specific.

  453. Never forget that Harris fought to keep innocent people in prison, and fought against investigating shootings by police. She's not consistent, she's not trustworthy, but she's the best of the four people on the ticket. What a dismal reflection on US corporate politics and corruption.

  454.  Humphrey B  "She's decent, caring, kind." Any person who tries to increase prison sentences simply to provide a free workworce is none of those things. The fact that she's a woman is irrelevant. Britain got a woman in Margaret Thatcher - biggest bitch ever. Destroyed worker rights. Then Theresa May, utterly incompetent. Both cried on the way out. Just like Churchill didn't. You want a compassionate leader; choose a compassionate leader - don't make the frankly insulting aasumption that a vagina equals empathy. Far more children are murdered by women than men.

  461.  johnmburt1960  It's completely naive to think that alternatives to youtube don't exist because nobody has the skills to make them. ANY replacement would have to work on a creator subscription model, or using advertisers exactly as youtube does. Both of those are FRAUGHT with problems. Pewdipie's 60 million subs would suddenly become a liability not an asset. Running youtube is so expensive that there small countries that have smaller budgets.

  462. Jones is certainly hamming his performance up in what he believes to be a compelling manner, but the trouble is, like Heath Ledger method-acting the Joker, he finds it impossible to know where the character stops and the real person begins. Just as surely as this killed Ledger, it's turned Alex Jones' mind, and I'm sure that he has totally lost contact with all reality now.

Even if he could be rehabilitated, he could never be trusted on the streets again Why should the US taxpayer spend millions of dollars keeping this man alive, when you have sick people dying for care costing a fracton as much?

  464. 20-30 years ago? She was still trying to arrange plantation style weddings this year! She's undoubtedly still a racist. But for me, the big issue is, is she a malicious racist? I think not. I don't know that she thinks of black people as inferiors, just different.

  466. A one party system is an ideological choice,and you cannot prove that it's worse than the so-called democracy of america or britain. There's no such thing as "just" the olympics If I were a child murderer and I hosted a game of poker and invited the town's high flyers would it be "just a game of cards"? Of course not: attendance sends a message, and the same is true here. If people simply want to compete, they can do it elsewhere. If they showed solidarity, they could demand a venue change.

  467. The issue was not whether fetuses were conscious, but whether they could experience pain and pleasue. Merely because they're deeply asleep in no way invalidates their status, any more than you suddenly become expendable when you're asleep. All of the examples you gave only serve to confirm that consciousness is present - at least by week 30.

  468. Clearly not all members of the boy scouts are gay. Any organisation that is only for young males is going to appeal to a higher-than-average number of people who prefer the company of males. The trouble is, none of the policy makers have an enlightened attitude. Perhaps when more of these bigots are outed themselves, they might get some sympathy. And founder Baden Powell - puhlease. Nude swimming, that moustache, the uniforms. He was one step away from the Village People!

  469. Perhaps insurers might put pressure on the healthcare providers and drug manufacturers not to charge such outrageous prices, then healthcare can be more affordable. And perhaps if the insurers monitored what they were being charged and held the hospitals more accountable, the hospitals wouldn't take liberties. They've all had free reign for so long they think it's their right. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out if they all have to start being honest at last.

  470. You can be a Swedish Jew. You can be born in a Sweden and stll follow Jewish doctrine.That gives you the same stake in your country as anyone else. At least they live there. What about Europe, the US, China and Russia interfering in the business of other countries? When people think that they can offer a better way of living, they often become pushy about it. It's not something specifically Jewish,and they are not the worst offenders by a long shot.

  474. I agree totally. I disagree with Pakman and Bill Maher, who he was quoting, that it's a word that non-black people cannot use, but blacks can.

The people who SOLD them the chemical weapons are a far bigger threat, but you don't see the US attacking China or Russia. But now, thanks to the US's posturing, Syria is talking about terrorism on US soil. And I don't blame them. They can't win a stand up fight, so they do what has already worked against the bully on the block.

  478. Your childish patronation demeans you, not me. I understood the original post just fine. Emmanual was sarcastically suggesting that if "following orders" is not an adequate defence for a member of the military, then the US troops who have waged immoral wars in Iraq for instance, should also be held personally accountable for the commands of their generals.

  479. I didn't say that athletes WERE cool, but there's a social bias in favour of athletes. How often in the school movies is the brainiac the one walking with a girl on each arm? But you're right, I AM really cool. Thanks for noticing! ;-)
    1
  480. That is absolutely right. The olympics has been utterly corrupted, and it's a pity that so many athletes waste their entire youths training in the hope of the pyrrhic victory of an olympic gold. Like Louis CK said; the scandal was not that Phelps was a fallen idol, rather that he ever became a national hero in the first place.

  483. The problem is, our governments get CAUGHT with involvement in so many nefarious plots, they've created an environment where no evil; no deception is beyond their morality or capability. That they may only be involved in 10% of the plots attributed, still means that they are up to some horrendous stuff.

  484. I'm sick of politician's private lives having to be public. "Journalists" like this man make me want to puke. A professional journalist simply reports the news, he doesn't insinuate himself it, and he ceratainly doesn't manipulate it for maximum damage to those being reported. This is behaviour worthy of the worst of Fox "news".

  485. Jeez, is this the level the show has fallen to?

  486. Nor is it the place of politicians. And this issue is over and done with. No civilised person is still trying to argue against homosexuality. Oppositon to it is an anachronism from bronze-age values about masculinity. Putin is a scumbag, and this law is just one more example of why. Gay athletes should not be holding pride rallys at the olympics, but nor should they have to hide ther sexuality.

  488. So you think that trade relations with China, and protection of financial industry is more serious than the sacrificing of a nation's personal liberty, the abandonment of rule of law, and the ability to imprison the innocent indefinitely without trial? I would say that the latter are at the very heart of a free society.
    1
  489. This IS personal and you are the one who made it so. You are espousing a world view in which Jewish people are the architects of some kind of global social engineering. In stating that view, you make it clear that you are threatened by that. If making the simple statement that "you see it as a threat" is too personal for you, then I think you should probably not be posting links to anti-semitic web sites on a public video.

However, they are DEFINITELY not the demographic that watches the politics show. It was a huge miscalculation to have him on.

  499. I agree that there are industries such as retail, where people work flexible hours because they are low skill. But none of the people enjoy knowing that they paid the bare minimum only because they can't be paid less. They don't enjoy no healthcare or holidays. Many don't enjoy only being offered part-time hours because their employers are not prepared to give them the rights that they would have to have if they were full time. They're already at rock bottom without you kicking them more.

  501. It's a difficult job, so they get a get out of jail free card? This was not an issue of the difficulty - it was cost cutting, pure and simple. The oil industry makes trillions of dollars - if it has to spend a bit more of that money to ensure proper management, then so be it. You should be a lobbyist for big business - they use that argument too. "Running our factories WITHOUT polluting is expensive and difficult. Therefore, we should e allowed to slowly poison the entire planet."

  512. Well said Michael. Don't get me wrong - I AM happy about his death, but only because it was the best thing for HIM as well as society that he's dead. His existence would have been horrific, and I don't blame him opting out, but he is nothing more than the product of his life circumstances and genetics, just as we all are. Any of us could have been him given identical life circumstances.

  514. I agree with your general premise here. I disagree with characterising all wealthy people as somehow owing the rest of the country a living. I'd countenance the idea of perhaps SOME tax increases, but not massive. What I would wholeheartedly endorse, is closing all the loopholes that enable them to avoid even paying the same rates of tax as minimum wage bar staff and Walmart employees.
    1
  515. Prostitution? Telling adults how they can use their bodies for money and how they can't. Having to work two jobs because Amazon and Walmart pay so little and treat you like sub human scum - fine. Doing something pleasurable where you're overpaid, immoral. Total bullshit.

  516. For fuck's sake. Way to get taken seriously David.

  518. David's example doesn't hold water. If there had been a lot of random attacks on children by grey haired preachers in your area, it would be ABSOLUTELY reasonable to pay attention to any people of that description who arrived. I think Zimmerman is a murderer, but the fact that he is unsure of Trayvon's colour when questioned, implies that he was more interested in the look of someone who may be using clothing that disguises one's identity, than his race.
    1
  519. But threat is clearly not the only criteria in determining justice. If a person is the head of a large bank and rips off investors for billions, the second he gets fired, he's no longer a threat, but surely you wouldn't consider that he should go unpunished because of that? I think your sympathy for this man's age, and the time that has elapsed is making you forget the horrific things he did that have gone without justice or punishment. He should certainly go to prison forever.

  532. And murder is murder, but if you do it in the defence of another, it's acceptable. There needs to be a nuanced approach, but I can see the problem with setting a precedent that says "You just decide for yourself what secrets you feel should be leaked". The best we can do is make all treasoin illegal, but appealable on a case by case basis.

  538. Jimmy's a fucking idiot. When he was a TYT he was a clueless clown. Now he's on Aggressive Progressives he's a clueless extremist clown. I hold him and his ilk directly responsible for the election of Trump by splitting the vote in the most consequential vote in our lifetimes, rather than telling people to swallow their distaste and get out and vote for the lesser of two evils.

  542. If anything, this is why NOT legalising gay marriage is dangerous. Because by making it illegal, you add to the impression that gays are second class citizens and make it more likely that they will grow up repressed, and seek outlets like this. If this Pastor was out and happy, he might have found partners his own age, and harmed no-one. People like YOU are part of what causes problems like this.

  548.  @Noah_McCurry  No. I'm saying if you go somewhere for one thing and you are given something completely different that can be annoying. Perhaps a better example would have been going to a thrash metal concert and Celine Dion starts performing.

  551. If it wasn't that the sexual act has such religious connotations, it would be less emotionally devastating. But I'm certain that it's the sustained lackof control over one's body in an uncertain, life-threatening situation that makes it especially unpleasant. I certainly think that "rape" within a relationship is a different ballgame.

  554. I didn't perceive his comment as racist - after all - his avatar shows a black man! I read it as a commentary of the under-representation of non-white events in American news. Just like the fact that 10 people were blown up in Iraq the day after Boston and it barely made the news.

  555. Of course it was a technical error. There was clearly either a copy and paste error, or a bottom third that ran on the wrong story.

  556. Please justify your statement that he was more than likely sexually assaulted himself. What are you talking about with the private health care system? Even if he went to a state of the art mental treatment facility, you could NEVER be certain that he cured. You can see that he's a sociopath. Even as he's being sentenced, he's making excuses. Your disbelief in determinism is at odds to your comments about him having being assaulted, and what have the girls got to do with his determinism?

  557. I dunno - I kind of agree with him. I never how to take this show or TYT - one minute they're rallying and outraged about life-and-death political stuff, and the next, they're chit-chatting about people in bars. I know they're going for broad market appeal, but it does undermine their credibility when they then tell us how vital it is to have independent media, and please donate $22,500 dollars to help us do more of this stuff.

  560. No, but people who murder on behalf of the theology of foreign nations MAY be. Yes, I realise the Boston Bombers acted alone, but there was speculation that the elder brother was radicalised in Chechnya. And even if he wasn't, any time there's a terrorist attack on behalf Islam, it's reasonable to ask if that's part of a wider international action, and that's where the phone records might have helped.

  564. Actually, I've objected to Assange from the very start. It's NEVER for an ordinary citizen to make decisions about matters affecting global security, and regarding issues about which he is almost certainly not in possession of the full picture. But when his actions became partisan, I thought he should be taken from the embassy by force. I hope he is executed for treason.
    1
  565. Julian Assange is Australian and is not a citizen of the UK, but I wasn't serious about him being executed - I was being (slightly) hyperbolic to suggest how betrayal like his deserves to be treated.

  568. Since the first newspaper was created, the media has likely always had a bias. It would be naive to think otherwise. Whether I would leap from that to assume that it was "government/banker/corporate propaganda" I would question. Clearly different media have different biases. But now in the internet age, it's easier than even to deeply examine research from a wide variety of informed sources. The nature of governance is always changing. Democracy is the US is in the toilet. cont...

  569. We all know Beck is whacko, but on a point of order, it's perfectly valid for him to make a complex prediction but simply be wrong about the timing. If he had predicted 9/11, and gotten the players and the method correct, but was out by a year, everybody would still recognise his wisdom.

  574. Of course soldiers have always behaved badly in war. It's an an inevitable consequence of leaders demonising the enemy enough for otherwise decent people to want to kill other innocent people. Which is precisely why Emmanuel's point about who should be held accountable has some validity. Now I see your problem - you see disagreement as criticism. That explains why you feel the need to be insulting. Your ego has been threatened. I imagine that level of defensiveness must make you fun to talk to.

  575. Excuse me then, but his only "crime" is not keeping up with the fact that the word "coloured" is no longer in favour? The fact that studies into hand washing and hygiene by race AND gender exist shows that his questions were ENTIRELY reasonable. Let's not start flapping our hankies and taking offence where it's not needed eh David?

  576. They only played music in a buildng; they didn't make the priest perform sex acts on them,or daub the walls with menstrual blood! The fact that some people choose to define a building as magical does not mean it should be entitled to special treatment under the law. PR were idiots. Charge them for that, not some religious crime. Russia is rapidly becoming a moral backwater.

As a former paperboy and delivery guy, I hate it when people let their dogs run loose in their yards. Equally, I have no faith in the police in ANY situation, so it's impossible to make a judgement witout having been there.

  579. Yeah, but like Putin's flooding of Facebook, it's not just one legal action - it will be 10, 20, 50. A co-ordinated effort to silence opponents. The only way to defeat this is to be like Radio Luxembourg was in Europe, and go offshore beyond their legal reach. Which has the added benefit of no longer living in the worst country first world nation on Earth.

  581. Obama's hypocrisy is another, completely unrelated issue. Of course I want a world where nobody NEEDS guns, but clearly that's a pipe dream. But I'd be satisfied with a world where guns were considerably harder to acquire, greatly decreasing the liklihood of facing one in the hands of a criminal.

The fact he needs Indi-gogo kind of suggests he's not some kind of financial vampire. He lives in America and has nothing to do with Israeli policy, nor American policy towards Israel, so what is the basis for this hate?

  587. Economies of scale have always harmed small business, even when there was NO work legislation. That's an argument for getting bigger, buying cheaper, or forming buying co-operatives so that you have more power over prices. Without legislation, bigger companies will STILL have more buying power and negiotiating power than you. Then what? Start complaining that you can't own slaves any more?

  592.  @airgliderz The Democrats and Republicans were opposite parties back then. Between the 1860s and 1930, they each took up opposite positions. As for Democrats dividing the nation, THEY weren't the ones using the Southern Strategy right up until the noughties to provoke the greatest division the nation had ever seen, nor are they the ones STILL gerrymandering along ethnic lines. Trump is the most divisive president ever and the Republicans have flocked to his banner, so i'd re-examine your selective outrage on that one Alan.

  600. Their area is not the issue. If you consider gun deaths per thousand people, they still come out dramatically below the US. The Mexican connection may be an issue - I don't know, but the US's uptight prohibition of drugs has created virtual civil war down there that has so far cost over 100,000 lives. Legalise marijuana and cocaine and most of te crime from Mexico disappears. Legalise prostitution and many of the major causes for organised crime in the US evaporate overnight.

And I might add, that the same mission statements have been propounded by right wing Christian groups in modern day America.

  617. Don't be a fucking idiot Paul. Rules are only good as long as they continue to serve the intended purpose. Or are you suggesting that because an agreement was reached hundreds of years ago that it should be beyond question? Incidentally, the idea of the diplomatic compound being a piece of sovereign territory, only came into being in 1961. Britain has had its diplomatic immunity and sovereignty breached on at least four occasions in my lifetime. It's like rules against violence in schools - the only people who follow them are the already law abiding, and all it does is constrains them from defending themselves. When those rules are used to hide international espionage agents from arrest then they need to be put aside. The idea that Assange can scurry like a rat into the Ecuadorean embassy, and we allow him to remain, openly committing espionage against our interests is pathetic, and frankly any nation that would harbour him under such circumstances does not deserve the privilege of diplomatic immunity. Diplomatic immunity was to protect foreign DIPLOMATS from the vagaries of political ill will, not to act as a safe space for criminals from entirely different nations. The entire system needs an immediate review or it should be abandoned. You can be certain that our enemies do not feel similarly constrained.

  618. The average person in the age of Wyatt Earp had the sense to entrust the gun play to professionals. Moreover, they didn't own vast caches of military-grade heavy weaponry. "why shouldn't teachers, administrators, janitors and even students be allowed to bring guns to school to defend themselves from violence" Are you serious? Because the average gun owner is not trained. Because guns are more likely to harm their owners and their families than any bad guys. Because the last thing you need is running gunfights in schools with only the initial shooter knowing who's the bad guy. Because bringing MORE weapons into schools makes it even harder to identify the people who are dangerous.

Let's face it, an armed populace has NO CHANCE against a government that has been waging war in Pakistan from 5000 feet in the air, with the victims never even being aware that they were under fire.

  622. Yes, this is the point that always gets distorted in the rush to argue how vital it is that you can defend yourselves. That the very guns you want to protect you, are the ones that are more likely to hurt you. Like a teenager taking his first hit of heroin and saying, "Yes I know it instantly addicts and destroys everyone else, but it won't do that to me..."

  625. No. Once pregnant, the woman is the total decision maker about whether to bring a child into the world or not. It's a decision that will likely cost the male $200,000 or more until the child is 18, yet he gets no say in if he wants it terminated. That's not fair, and it's not logical. Simply because she is the one with the ovaries. Even if she pretends to be on the pill, he will still be financially liable.It's disgusting. He could murder someone and receive a lower fine!

  627.  @95-sub-zero  Scump is the epitome of the phrase, "Born on third base and thinks he hit a home run." Ever since his earliest days, he has had a massive sense of his own intelligence taht has NOTHING to do with dementia. Remember the Central Park 5 - three innocent black teens wrongly accused of assault and rape, he paid for an ad in the New York Times calling for their execution. Even after they were found innocent, he publicly stated that he wanted them to remain in prison because "they must be guilty of something". Trump has been surrounded by people who covered up for his mistakes so he has grown to think he never makes them. He is the very definition of Dunning Kruger. He should have been beaten up as a teen; often and without recourse. Maybe then he'd have a modicum of human empathy.

Handing China the ammunition to deflect criticism about having been caught hacking US computers is a massive betrayal. As for journalist's integrity - are you kidding?! UK populist journalists have almost no integrity and if a traitor couldn't find a US publisher, they could quite easily approach UK papers.

As I understand it, science has disagreed with it, and offered alternate explanations, but debunked seems more certain than science can lay claim to. I can find no references to Sam's views on white terrorism anywhere on Google, but I find it all but impossible to believe that if a statistical case can be made that a white group commits terrorism in the name of a governing ideology such as white supremacy, that Sam would not denounce. Which white supremacist are you suggesting that Sam is promoting?

  640. Clearly Google cannot be expected to answer for the security precautions of other email carriers, but nor does that give it carte blanche to route our emails via government collection servers. This is misdirection by them to disguise their shameless level of collusion with the NSA against the American people, and in contravention of the Constitution.

  641. I'm going to have disagree with that. I would certainly say that a frighteningly large number tick some or all of those boxes, but by no means most.
    1
  642. Agree. The history connected to the word is long and painful, but nobody living went through the times when it was formed, although racism in both directions still greatly exists. I think that black people still taking such great offence, is handing any potential enemies an easy club to beat them with.
    1
  643. I would estimate that such examples represent about .0001% of all the societies that have ever existed. Women are physically weaker, less robust, and have lower stamina. All of these are important attributes in societies where physicality is important. Which is not to say that women can't take on physical roles, it's just that it makes sense for the ones providing the milk to be the ones doing the child-rearing and homemaking.
    1
  644. The fact that this system DID NOT catch the Boston bombers actually lends credibility to their claims that they are NOT monitoring individual calls. The bombers may have formulated their plan without ever speaking to a terrorist about it, so how would this meta system have caught them? One of the guys was "of interest" but so what? Millions of people are "of interest". Recognising when that changes to "clear and present danger" is the challenge.
    1
  645. I actually don't completely disagree with King. Supposing the journalists leaked the codes to disable all of the US's weapons, there would be clear treason there. What qualifies a mere journalist; a person with zero knowledge of the government's global tactical situation; to decide what information is safe to release and what isn't? It's not black and white.

  646. There's so much conflation going on here. The importance of the Israeli state is religious. Jewish practices vis a vis intermixing are cultural. They are not necessarily related.

  647. I disagree David - public opinion equals votes, and the fear of losing votes affects policy.
    1
  648. No Tim, you're misrepresenting determinism. Or at least limiting it to your chosen definition. As I mean it, determinism suggests that every thing is an inevitable and unavoidable consequence of the events that preceded it. In a sense it's a biological/physics proof of what you call "measurable probabilities". Everyone is programmed by previous events, and given that decision making is entirely arrived at on an unconscious level, no choice is truly yours to make.
    1
  649. Yeah, it really does seem like that's the view that many Christians take. Absolute morality = "We need some external force to tell us right and wrong".

  652. Given the behaviour of the police in the USA, and especially in this case, I would not blame anybody encountering them to fear for his life. And like David said - is execution the only possible response to an attack? These guys are supposed to be trained in restraint. Against an unarmed attacker, you're gonna tell me execution was justified?

  657. And yet Americans get angry with me when I accuse America of being insecure. The military overkill is a reflection of your personal commitment to hand weapons. Yet still terrorists blow up your buildings, murder your civilians, and kill your ambassadors. The real issue is not your ability to "defend" yourselves, but your policies on the world stage.

  659. "Russian interference helped elect him" No no no. Quit with that lie or you've learned nothing. Especially as America has literally overthrown democratically elected governments. Democratic party arrogance, Clinton dishonesty and lack of transparency, a lack of democracy within the DNC, left wing voter laziness, a lack of positive messaging, and a despicably pompous and partisan press won Trump the last election. Russia's influence was absolutely minimal. And America should be equally concerned about why Trump managed to rise to the top of the Republican party.

  661. I have no issue with the imposition of tariffs to ensure a level playing field. My issue is with the fact that everything Trump does is a spur of the moment impulse with no consultation with experts on its impact. If I thought that the amount Trump levied and the nations it was imposed on were carefully weighed to restore parity, I'd have zero problems.

  667. I'm very conflicted by this case. There's no way some pissant corporal should be deciding what secrets to leak, and what lives toendanger, but on the other hand, if the military was not up to no good, they would not have been disgraced by the leaks. What do you think is appropriate action?

Russia was challenged on wheter gay athletes would face sanctions, and the initial response of their minister was that gay athletes would not face any sanctions, but a few days later he revised that on the record, saying that any openly gay athletes would face the same laws as their own residents, which is to say that they would be imprisoned if they expressed their homosexuality in any way publicly.

The problem David, is that as a person whose copyright is REGULARLY infringed to the cost of tens of thousands of dollars, in a single day, I can lose 90% of the revenue on my content by infringement. There needs to be faster review, and companies should have to be registered in order to issue strikes and take downs, but when I issue one, it needs to happen IMMEDIATELY or the revenue is already lost.

  677. You raise a fundamental issue - IS the judicial system about justice or revenge? If it's about justice, then he should be brutally tortured for as long as he can be kept alive. That would be fair. Personally, in my calmer momnents, I don't think that the judicial system should be about either - it should be about making society better for all. If that means a criminal is reformed but not punished then so be it.

  679. I think it's as reasonable to challenge this man's position, as it is to challenge William Lane Craig when he starts talking philosophy to debate the origin of the universe. Craig has multiple degrees in philosophy, but has clearly stated that if the evidence does not back up his world view, that he mistrusts the evidence. Similarly, when an educated man who believes in sky-daddy, writes a book on the historicity of a rival sky cult, it's completely reasonable to establish his impartiality.

  680. I was in the army - martial arts training is not the narm, and even as a martial artist, facing two men with meat cleavers is a big ask. The attack was political, which is why the men waited around. Clearly NOT gang related, or the men would have left afterwards.

  681. What point is there in contemplating his evil deeds? He would never have been freed again, so thinking about what he did serves no purpose. Is the function of prison to take vengeance to keep us safe, or to change the behaviour of the perpetrator? Sounds like you simply wanted him to suffer.

  686. I'm bewildered by how this man is alleged to be responsible for the deaths of 300,000 people when he was a junior officer and his duties were simply removing the property from the condemned. I don't know to what extent EVERY member of the SS should be held responsible, especially as it was dangerous to refuse the duties you were assigned. Moreover, since the 1980's, this man has voluntarily talked about his role at Auschwitz in an effort to combat holocaust denial. This story is far more nuanced than simply saying "SS bad - kill SS" Pat.

  704.  @ArvidProductions I agree 100% that the rich should pay THEIR FAIR SHARE. If the tax rate is 25%, then they should pay 25%, no exclusions. As for Sweden, I have serious doubts that you are the nation that should be advising others on taxation. The drop out rate in university is up to 50% in some courses, yet in Sweden EVERYBODY get sthe right to get an education that should come at the employer and recipient's expense. As a tax payer in an increasingly single and childless population, why is it MY responsibility to increase your employability and/or pay for a six year vacation from reality - especiaally looking at the way the university seems to be warping young minds nowadays? And your mother's brain surgery - delighted she was able to receive that. Hope that she has made a full recovery. Health care should be a human right, but corruption in the US prevents it. BTW, I don't live in the US either.

  706.  @ArvidProductions Everything you say sounds very nice but it's simply wrong to impose it upon people, especially if they have to pay for it. The only reason we live in societies is because it increases our convenience to do so. If you were my neighbour, I'd be pleasant; helpful even but then if you approached me and said "Excuse me, can you give me $3000 so that I can get a masters degree, potentially in some worthless subject", I'd laugh you out of the room! If you were ill, I'd share my meds. I'd even give you some money to help you recover, but even then there would be limits as there certainly would if out positions were reversed. I OWE you nothing. If I am nice it's because I want to be. Taxation is a form of theft. It's theft that we all agree to because we are forced to by law, and then we justify our decision not to simply not pay it by looking at what we get in return for the money. As long as people feel that the return is appropriate to the expenditure, AND the expenditure is largely on reasonable things, people continue to pay tax. When that ceases to be the case, they vote out the government in return for one that is more reasonable. You seem to think that society is like a party that we all opt to attend. It's not. It's something that we are born into and for better or worse, we stay within because it's virtually impossible to opt out of.

  707.  @johnpliskin8759  Any tax rate is arbitrary. The fact that stealing from the rich worked is no justification for it, any more than the fcat that shoplifting making you happy is justified.

  708.  Greg Moonen I think you have to be careful when you use emotive terms like "stealing from people", but the wealthy UNQUESTIONABLY have a legislative and administrative financial advantage over the average American worker and that needs to be taken away and the playing field levelled. I'm not impressed simply because somebody works 60 hours a week. Nor do I think that someone who works that hard automatically deserves to reap the same rewards as someone with a billion dollars. I'm not even sure that I believe that everyone should be able to afford a house. To be honest, and this is simply coming off the top of my head as we chat, I think that maybe a percentage of all land should be owned by the people, and not allowed for resale, so every citizen always has a space on which to live. The idea that the wealthy should make it literally impossible to afford the most fundamental right - to be able to afford a place to live - is repugnant. There are so many issues with the wealthy, but simply compounding a huge set of problems by stealing back does not seem like a sensible solution.
    1
  709.  @HopperDragon Nonsense. The average defender of not OVERtaxing the rich know only too well that they will never be millionaires much less billionaires. I suspect that because they are conservatives, they believe in fairness rather than simply stealing from one person and giving it to another.

  713. But there is evidence that a crime occurred. An unarmed boy is dead. Zimmerman, a man trained in martial arts was unequivocally the killer. You can quibble about whether the lack of evidence to show INTENT makes him innocent, but there is no doubt that he shot Trayvon. Zimmerman admits to this. The only evidence in this case pertains to his intent, not whether he did it. The jury found insufficient evidence for intent. That makes him innocent legally, but truth doesn't care about legality.

  714. What's fucked up, is that the woman gets to make a decision about KEEPING the child that can ruin the man financially for his whole life and he is the hostage of her choices. They got into that situation together, and they will bear the burden together, so they should make the choice together OR the man should be legally absolved from any financial obligation of support. She goes through 9 months of inconvenience and a few hours of pain, and then he receives an 18 year sentence.

He shuld be in prison for incitement to hatred.

  728. Nonsense. There was INSUFFICIENT evidence, not NO evidence. The burden of proof is justifianbly high in a murder case , and the prosecution were unable to convince the jury. That doesn't mean that a single one of them tthought that he was innocent, but according to the legal brief they were given, they may have HAD to acquit him. Zimmerman is a murderer, regardless of the verdict.

  734. I think that they would ASSUME it, just as America would make the reciprocal assumption, but if the assumption carried any weight, there would not currently be a diplomatic incident when chinese government hackers have been caught in the act.

  735. Merely because there is historical hatred of a race doesn't mean a thing -it just shows that people have been bigots for a loong time. As for Jewish leaders in communist Russia, I don't know enough about that history to say, but did they kill christians becase they were non-jews, or because they were defending themselves against a demographic that primarily happened to include christians? But whatever - racial or religious killing isunacceptable today everywhere but in islamist states.

  736. Nah, don't believe it all, but it is possible that there's an ideal which favours certain features. Our tendency to value assertiveness may be so ingrained that only women with more masculine proportions make it to power in government, but in Hollywood? Quite the opposite. The more feminine the better given that the original primary consumers and producers of movies were male.

  740. Again, I'm going to have to challenge the source of that research. If it's funded by the KKK, BP, Nazis, or any whte supremacist organisation, then it's worthless. They all start with a conclusion, then evaluate the facts to make them fit.

  741.  @Ariels888  Agreed. I'm fortunate, the kids I work with mostly come from lower middle class backgrounds, but many of the others in the school do not. The internet and working with kids has been a revelation to me - teaching just how damned ignorant huge swathes of the population are.
    1
  742.  @Ariels888  Education is a beaurocratic hierarchy and will ALWAYS be full of politics, both internal and external. I live in the UK, and work with a pretty good primary school, but external government targets and inspections, parental interactions, dubious internal leadership, and administrators who never teach and are more concerned with finances and other matters all make the place less than it could be. I don't think that will ever be fully resolved because those factors will always be at play. Great leadership can minimise it though. Too much to do with too little money.
    1
  743.  @Ariels888  Actually I'm a martial arts instructor at a school (4-11 year olds) but I'm close communication with the school and many teachers. The BS I see just from my perspectiee, let alone what the teachers and parents tell me is dismaying.

  744. The time when the people shared a seat at the table of power has long since passed. Lobbyist, special interest groups and big business are the only ones influencing government any more. The belief that guns in ANY way give you standing in terms of political influence is a complete fantasy. Your "rights" are only what people decided to give you; they can be withdrawn or modified. They're not innate to human existence. If they need changing for the wellbeing of society, then so be it.

    1
  747.  @Kloutkulture  Actually, there were numerous reasons presented for WHY this city declined to permit 5G, all of them reasonable, the greatest of which was simply that exhaustive tests on the safety implications have never been conducted, which one would expect PRIOR to bombarding us all with potentially harmful levels of radiation, and positioning gigawatt towers in residential areas. In one independent study by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), an agency run by the Department of Health and Human Services. In this widely quoted study about cell phone radio frequency radiation, scientists found that high exposure to 3G RFR led to some cases of cancerous heart tumors, brain tumors, and tumors in the adrenal glands of male rats. But then you undoubtedly already knew that with your elevated critical thinking skills didn't you? Dickhead.
    1
  748.  @Kloutkulture  Wow, you're smart then huh (if not particularly original). Smarter than all the scientists and universities for whom the safety and carcinogen-causing effect is still an unresolved question. I find it amusing also that you started by attacking my critical thinking, then when I went on to demonstrate that my critical thinking was functioning perfectly well, your argument switched to "As an expert, this is what I think....". So apparently I need to be not only a telecomms expert, but one who agrees with your interpretation rather than that of the scientists who do NOT share it? Tell you what, try not being a smug, supercillious cunt and you might get taken seriously. Now you're dismissed boy. You bore me.

  751.  @Cisco13  If there was ever a perfect example of social pressure making people behave irrationally, it's that scene.

The whole thing is ludicrous.

  753. No, YOU resent it. The population will evaluate actions upon their general merits or not.

  754. He only gets away with it if he goes unpunished. You are happy to allow him to go unpunished simply because he has managed to evade capture long enough to become old.

Anyone, of any age or capability, who claims they would not be disturbed by such stalking is a liar or an idiot.

  792. You act as though all regulations must be applied uniformly. If government considers small business desireable, it can apply different rules at different employee or turnover brackets. But paying a reasonable minimum wage is a no-brainer, and if you didn't have an exploiter's mentality, you'd see it. YOU have a lot to learn about humanity.

  793. The trouble is, under the name of hazing, this kind of sexual humiliation play IS often seen as acceptable. Just like sack tapping, it's a kind of disgusting behaviour that has potentally severe repercussions for the victim, yet is still glorified by the over-macho (closeted) jock community.

  797. It's a sad day for America when the only people who can call the police safely are criminals like Zimmerman. If you're seriously telling me that the very best that the Police has to offer, couldn't deal with this without killing a man who's lived through two world wars, then it's a real sad reflection on their training. Jeez, they only had to wait a few hours and the guy would have been fast asleep!

  802. Louis, what about all the adults who stared smoking? Apparently adults can't make intelligent informed choices either. I despise the way that Britain and even more so America, wants to control the lives of people until they're 25% of the way through their lives. The reason kids are dumb and immature is because they are given no responsibility until they're out of their teens. In countries, such as India, where kids are given responsibility even before their teens, they are far more mature.

And because you can find one or 50 Jews who will say on camera that they consider it their role to lead a move towards multi-culturalism, does not imply that this is a masterplan, any more than Abu Hamza and his lunatic ilk speak for all Muslims. But personally, I think multiculturalism is the inevitable result of livng in a global community.

  805. Yeah, and why can't people just leave pedophilia out of it when making donations to the catholic church, and the corruption of corporae sponsorship out when deciding what party to vote for? Oh I remember - because it's directly relevant! Because some of the best athletes will be unable to compete because they cannot go to Russia without fear of arrest.

His golf trips alone have COST America over 100 million, his unneccesary wall another 5 billion, his tarriffs god only knows how many billions,m all the fees to stay at Scump resort, millions. Scump's presidency has been a massive net loss for America.

  810. You seem incapable of distinguishing between judicial innocence and actual innocence. Trials are not for finding the truth. Trials are a performance. Trials are for rendering judgements. Truth does not occur because a verdict has been reached. In this case more than ever, the "truth" was primarily in the control of the murderer because there were no witnesses. If you had been raped and a trial found your attacker not guilty, do you really think that their verdict is the only one that matters.

  811. How is this even legal? I'm beginning to wonder if maybe the entire Republican party is compromised at this stage, either to Russia or Trump. If not, they must be so greedy that the donor bribes outweigh their betrayal of America. Treasonous vermin deserve to be executed one and all.

So much for your "heroic mothers" theory. And as you've already pointed out - THEY have exclusive control over whether to remain pregnant. And who shares the expense and psychological burden? The man. Which is why becoming a father is not some trivial thing that the woman should get to decide on her own.

  820. To simply label David Duke "not mainstream" on the issue of race, is like labelling Jeffrey Dahmer "a little odd" when it comes to homosexual relationshps. Yes, of course, if the Israeli governemt practiced what it preached, and was far more humane towards Palestine, it would help their case. You may well be able to point to many individual Jews pulling strings - and I suspect that that would be to do with their wealth, not their race, but I simply don't believe in a global conspiracy.

  821. The entire premise of this opinion piece is trickle-down economics, but surely mere spending alone is not enough;it has to be spent in such a way that it trickles down. So, for instance, bailing out brokerage firms, or mismanaged savings companies does not benefit the economy in general. It seems very counterintuitive to me to spend your way out of financial trouble, especially when your national debt could buy a medium sized country.

  840. Thanks for the eloquent words.i'm certain the point could have been made without reducing to such childishness. I recognise that there are some powerful Jewish influences in American business, but to suggest that they are dominant enough to overcome all other non-Jewish interests seems to me to be a sign of extreme insecurity. Odd how people who hold this view accuse others of racism, when they consider whites to be such helpless, inadequate victims of the Jewish plot.

Compare that to fighting on home soil, in an age of satellite recon, drone strikes, hi tech weapons, and terrain and infrastructure emminently suited to modern warfare. It really is pie in the sky to imagine that American militia could be any more than a very prolonged irritation. But I supppose te real battle would be political in any case.

That disdain is not entirely irrational, and certainly not all about prejudice.

  855. It's not about normalisation in the slightest. It's about not wanting to hear this constant negativity without a way forwards. Part of the problem is that independent media is almost universally proving too be utterly toothless. You're doing no independent journalism, organising no movements, not helping to make the world any better. There's only so long you can watch intellectuals toothlessly wagging their collective fingers before you realise all it is is a daily dripfeed of misery. At least TYT has organised a political movement. And frankly, I find too much of your content, and that of Sam Seder and Kyle Kulinski unwatchable. The sense of smug superiority is almost nauseating. The other thing is, quite frankly, you should have seen the adpocalypse or some other threat to your income coming long before it did and taken precautions. I get sick to death of hearing your constant begging as well as the oh-so-earnest ads for glasses, food and god knows what else.

Both systems are tainted,but I prefer Britain to the US's black and white thinking.

  868. You may not be, but policy makers concerned with the future of mankind are, and rightly so. The strike in Russia was not a grade B sci fi film, nor was the gulf of Mexico hit that wiped out the dinosaurs. The question is not if, but when the Earth will be struck by a sizable meteor again. It's in our interests to have the technology to enable early detection, and if possible, deflection. NASA clearly agrees. How paranoid of them.

If the president can literally incite violence and walk free, something as ambiguous as offering to pay for a lock of Hillary's hair is as feeble a reason to imprison him as I could imagine.

  880.  @Nanook128 Taxation is not a product of free market, it's a product of might is right - that's why those with the most wealth pay the least taxes as a percentage of income. Taxation is universally misspent, but it's not even an option on the ballot. The problem with any electoral system that has a vaguely democratic (ha ha) basis, is that citizens have to vote on the package that is offered. At best a slight reduction in taxation is occasionally offered, never its abolition. That said, I 100% agree with taxation - we all need and use the things it is spent on. But I also think that we should be able to limit the ways that it is used. I don't want the equivalent of thousands of years of my wages wasted so that Trump can play golf, or on a military that is ridiculously excessive, or on police that are increasingly focussing on thought crimes and protecting snowflakes.

  885. Not just that, but there are now entire generations growing up who have never lived in a world where anti-gay bigotry was acceptable. just as the internet provides a very hostile place for religious bigotry to thrive, it's the same with homophobia, and finally governments and schools got some balls and started making it unacceptable to be an open bigot. Except in Texas, and Minnesota where it seems to increase your chances of election.

  895.  @M1nus_p  The risk to children is statistically negligible. Almost zero. They were FAR more likely to die from other things in or on their way to school, but no parent is getting hysterical about those risks. Also, if all these families lose their homes because they can't afford rent because they have to stay home and care for kids off school, that's significant too. That said, the danger to adults from asymptomatic children is not at all inconsequential, but there's a balance to be struck. I think that younger teachers should be in, and schools opening on a limited, distanced syllabus.

  896. I fail to see how not imprisoning him would be justice. Why should he he live a full, rich, healthy, happy life and end up with a slap on the wrist simply for avoiding capture all this time? His efforts to avoid capture literally made things worse for his victims. Does their suffering diminish simply because he's old, or do they live with a sense of violation until the day they die?

What a surprise, and what a totally unbiased way of running a survey. Now let me just check - 498k subs to the channel, 1800 Patreons. Perhaps they are not the best sample to gauge by.

  916. I have no idea what the hell point you're trying to make regarding aikido, but clearly when the only people allowed to have a meaningful voice in an issue represent a tiny percentage of your total audience, and not even a representative sample, it is not constructive, especially if your long term goal is to persuade more people to become patreons. David is a great guy but on his whole patreon/membership thing he sounds like a flim flam man.

  917. I don't know how many, but I'm certain it's orders of magnitude greater than the number of patrons willing to either subscribe or change their patronage just for a silly poll. It was clear that this was simply a transparent and somewhat slimy effort to get more patrons.

  918. If this was a court case, it would be decided on the balance of probability. Pakman has a several year long history of using EVERY conceivable opportunity, every trick, every incentive, every pressure sales tactic, every dubious technique to increase membership. Based upon his past record, there would be enough to suggest that this was just one more means of gaining greater patronage. Yes, it 's entirely conceivable that he is only interested in the opinions of those who are willing to support him financially, but asking those who ALREADY support him, over the massive, massive majority who do not would be short-sighted in the extreme given that he wishes to grow his pool of patrons. As for your silly win some lose some, I wasn't aware this was a school yard competition, but if you gain some small validation by erroneously claiming a victory, be my guest.

  928. Clearly they were different. Even if the police knew nothing about further bombs, that was a danger after Boston. Waiting half an hour for mirandising the kidnapper is unlikely to pose a hreat to the lives of anyone - they would simply remain in captivity 30minutes longer.

  930. It was an asinine question intended to disempwer him by suggesting that unless he's also been raped, his comment is valueless. Some people get over rape very quickly, and others it haunts them forever. it's perfectly legitimate to ask WHY rape traumatises some people so badly, and even to suggest that possibly it's not the worst possible thing that could happen to someone. "why the hell do i even bother responding" Good question - when all you had to offer was mindless, populist inanity.

  939. Sadly, the culture of protecting each other's backs, which is essential in the police, also has the negative effect of encouraging police to be indiscriminate in doing so. It's like catholics whose membership and donation ends up enabling the evils by a small percentage of their leadership.

  959. Excellent video. Like his deadpan candour but thought Louis was harsh on the media. If there's a disaster, the statistics can change second by second, and almost no-one CAN know for sure who might be a victim or not. Even after 9/11 some of the victims remain unknown. People don't always leave a "flight plan" of their activities day to day.

  960. I agree absolutely with everything you said there, but you've made incorrect assumptions about MY motivation. He would be better off dead because a life lived in prison as a former serial rapist is cruel and unusal punishment. To live the remainder of his life vilified, terried and alone is worse than death a conclusion he quickly reached as well.

  961. Okay, I take back anything I ever said about guns being safer in the hands of trained police. In the past few months, they've shot a 107 year old, an accident victim, a man entering his own car, an innocent person in his bedroom, been shot with their own weapon at a grade school event by a 7 year old, and shot a delegate at a gun safety talk. It looks like the police are the last people Americans should want armed.

There are some businesses, that no matter how great the difficulties of managing them, there is an expectation - a requirement - that the only acceptable standard is 100% safety in the critical aspects .

  970.  @2010wilsoneya  And what does the number of officers killed have to do with anything? They signed up to do a mostly pretty safe job. Black people never agreed to the police breaking into their homes,backed by the full force of the government, and murdering them!

  971.  @2010wilsoneya  It's only ridiculous because you're not thnking rationally. 1. Sleeping in your own bed was not a crime. Playing with a toy gun was not a crime. Owning a BB gun in a hotel room was not a crime. Looking at a gun in a walmart was not a crime. And EVEN IF THEY WERE, execution is not the penalty. 2. Do you SERIOUSLY not understand why this is moronic on multiple levels? i. Criminals do not have the force of the government behind them ii. Two wrongs do not make a right iii. The police are tasked with protecting the citizens, not murdering them iv. So what? If you report that a policeman tried to murder you in your bed when you are innocent of any crime, by your logic, the controller should just say "Well people in your neighbourhood kill more people and hang up." Seriously Sam, did you think about this garbage even for a millisecond? Every word you say speaks about your own prejudice. "would you allow your son or daughter to marry one of these men or women who have been killed by police " Would I allow my daughter marry an INNOCENT little boy in a park playing with a toy gun? Why not? Would I allow my son to marry an INNOCENT woman asleep in her own bed? Of course. Would I allow my daughter to marry an INNOCENT man whose crime was to investigate a building site? Sure. "dangerous black people are being killed by police" absolute bullshit. I wondered if you were just ignorant and stupid, but with that statement, you have confirmed tha you are in fact, a racist bigot. Fuck you. We're done.

  973. Never been on reddit, but if you think that pointing out that men also pay a massive price in society is somehow wrong, perhaps you should return to freethought blogs with the feminazis. All I want is equality and respect for both genders. Women suffer tremendous inequalities in some areas, and i think that they need addressing, but to hell with swapping one gender prejudice for its polar opposite as we're increasingly doing.

  974. So you both concede that lyrics have a massive impact, and then you dismiss this man's suggestion that lyrics might negatively affect teenagers?

Sexual arousal triggers free from cultural conditoning is far broader than people like to believe. The number of absolutes on the extremes are not just some idea arrived at by me - they're the result of what I believe is the still the most exhaustive study ever - the Kinsey Report, although there is some degree of corroboration by the Hite Report into Male Sexuality.

  978. My perception of youtube has changed. Many of the douchebags like Alex Jones have been kicked off and the remaining ones are less douchy. Other than that, the only way it has changed is the amount of whining from creators who never had a backup plan and somehow thought that existing at the mercy of a global corporation was a secure existence. Also, eveybody has turned into pussies, and won't say naughty words any more.

After all - we could ALL be accused of crimes, unsubstantiated, that we might find impossible to disprove. I could accuse you of murdering someone on a random day ten years ago, and you might find it impossible to remember that date, far less prove that you didn't commit the crime.

  983. Is it OBVIOUSLY info we need to know? It's taken as read that the security services routinely surveills lots of people. If broad fishing operations like this prevent say 100 attacks or terrorist operations coming to fruition,some might consider it a worthwhile price. I don't personally, because I think liberty has a price, and if we have to feel a little less safe as a result, then so be it. But then nobody can whine that Boson or 9/11 was missed when NSA is not allowed the tools to do the job.

When they are exposed to the same stresses and demands in the workplace, the same legal injustice in the family courts, and have to sacrifice themselves in the millions to preserve the freedoms they expect, then I'll consider that they have a bad deal. until that point, each gender has its own burdens. At least they get to choose to have a child.

Too fearful of conflict.

I mean, I accept that it as given you many fine and admirable values, and should not lightly be tossed aside and amended, but if people are so terrified of re-examining it, then that does bespeak a certain insecurity or closed mindedness to me. And you already made the gunpointing jibe before, and I batted it effortlessly away.

  994. You couldn't be more wrong David. Apology and cancel culture are a scourge, and decent, positive initiatives are getting shelved because the fucking SJWs shit all over them. Just this month a whole bunch of them on the local council wanted their town name changed from "Whitehouses" (descriptive of the chalk they they were built from) because the word "white" is racist. If you think that SJW influence is diminishing then you are not paying attention. I suspect that their influence has simply become so habitual that you no longer even recognise their loathsome hands on the wheels of power.

  995. If he had a reasonable expectation that they were going to harm him, given that the police are useless until AFTER a crime has been committed, I totally think he has the right to take pre-emptive action. It's unreasonable that he should live in terror, or have to flee his home. Of course, the problem is proving that he didn't just invent an altercation to murder them.

  998. I don't doubt that, but it's not an entry requirement like it seems to be in the Republican party. Since Obama got into power, I've never seen so much barely concealed simmering racial hatred. The American people should be outraged that their welbeing is being subverted at every turn by a party of religious, homophobic bigots that appears to have almost no ideas of their own, and operates purely on the principle of opposition to everything the president does.

  1000. If businesses can't afford to pay a livable wage, then they should get out of that line of work. There are two reasons why businesses can't operate paying a livable wage: 1. they have undervalued their productts and services in the name of competition. 2. They are undercut by countries with no minimum wage or safety legislation. That's an argument for regulating imports and charging a reasonable amount for your products. If a man does more, then pay him more - it's not the same job then is it?

  1001. I think that you are going to be in for a very unfulfilling life. Your mind is imprisoned by the tightest chains of convention. Your list reads like something Pat Robertson would write, but he and his ilk would never accept you. Your religious upbringing has got you totally wrapped in knots, and you don't even seem to realise it. You cling to the ultra right, whilst apparently failing to realise that your very nature is repellent to them. At best, they'll accept you as a token pet, to show off.

  1003. "The earth has been damaged beyond repair" Nonsense. Nihilism like that is even more harmful than the selfish greed of the corporates. If you tell yourself that there's nothing you can do, it justifies doing nothing. If you tell yourself we all need to do more, then movements that exist across the globe and have converted entire nations to environmental thinking will help. Scientific models have been proven wrong time and time again, and we have no idea what climate mitigation technologies may be developed if our very existence looks threatened.

  1005. It's neither virtue signalling nor nonsensical. If we all simply accept the planet is doomed, nobody does anything. If we accept that we can still affect change, we make the effort to do so. If that made the difference between your grandkids getting to survive or not, before the Earth died, wouldn't you do so?
    1
  1006. "I meant it's quite literally too late, we have gone past the tipping point" So you have 100% confidence in climatologists and scientists? Despite the fact that they have revised the age of the earth every 20 years for the past two centuries, they have vacillated between the belief in global warming and global dimming, have no idea about many fundamental mechanisms of our own planet, much less the solar system or universe, have recently been proven totally wrong on the role of dark matter in galaxy formation, frequently report "impossible" planets, stars, and weather systems on other planets, revise their predictions on the rate of global warming frequently, and have careers dependent upon climate change? And no, I'm not a man made climate change denier. What I DO deny, are the conclusions that they reach. Our planet is too complex a system to be certain about anything on a global scale based merely upon a few degrees of temperature increase.
    1
  1007. "Rallies and protests? So get in our cars and burn more hydrocarbon fuels to attend events while holding our smart phones and plastic water bottles. Uhhhmmm... sure, why not." Your "logic" is simplistic. If it takes a generation of people raising the CO2 emissions by a fraction of a fraction of a percent to lower global emissions by even just 10% I would consider that a reasonable trade off. Surely you comprehend the maths of that? "One must be fair though, the left wing hasn't exactly done anything to help either." This is not a left right issue for goodness sake. Do you think Republican voters will have houses any further from the coastline as it approaches? What was the political alliance of the citizens of Peurto Rico, or Texas? Do you think they will be any more immune to the consequences of global warming? "I mean the Paris Accord was/is a joke that does nothing." Is that so, because I see Germany going 100% renewable, the largest economy on the planet; China going massively green, and countries all across Europe treating the need to get off fossil fuels as a matter of urgency. Could it have been tougher? Yes, but then the danger would be that nations that depend upon outdated forms of fuel refuse to sign to it.

  1008. Humans have proven themselves to be supremely adaptable and resilient. We survived being knocked down to under 1000 people, the likelihood that with all our technology, we will not continue to survive is, in my opinion, low. And "WE" didn't choose greed and avarice - a few thousand people did. The vast majority of us are willing to make the required sacrifices.

Yeah tell it to the Guantanamo detainees who have been held over 10 years, have been admitted to being INNOCENT of ANY wrongdoing, yet are still not released. This is the state of Government in US now. And gun supporters tell me that they need them to fight for freedom IF they ever need to. Boys, the time for that was a decade ago!

  1013. By what right can the US get up in arms about chemical weapons at all given that it remains the only nation ever to detonate nuclear weapons on a non-military population - twice - and it continues to use drone strikes on non-military targets? I suspect that now that Russia has been found to be supplying the Syrian Govt. with weapons, the US will do what it always does in recent decades against a powerful opponent; tuck its tail between its legs and whine from behind its own borders.

  1014. Given the racial demographic of the US population, I would say that Christianity has become the predominant theology of modern America. And given that neither Christians, nor any of the religions you mentioned are blowing people up for theological reasons, clearly keeping an eye on the people who have connections with the primary terroristic theology on the planet could be deemed reasonable. Depend what price you're prepared to pay for peace of mind.

  1019. We still have unelected officials and a hereditary royal family in the UK, so change is not necessarily a bad thing. Why do you assume that government run by Jews (and I don't believe it) but why do you think that their government would bring about instability? I think that your own confirmation bias makes you see Jewish boogeymen behand every politician. It's a very primitive fear - the result of a global hatchet stretching back at least to medieval times.

  1020. It seems to me that the problem would be in modelling a suitable receptical in which the data interacts in the same way as the human brain. For instance, if I download the CPU from a ZX Spectrum onto a PC, the information will be there, but the organisational structure will prevent that data from operating as it did in the Spectrum. The graphics, the sound and the processing capabilities of the PC are different. Thus, we will first need to model a "brain emulator" not merely a storage device.

  1024. That's an interesting distinction. So in your opinion, the detection of terrorists and criminals on a global scale is less important than a newspaper's right to say what it wants, or your right to privacy? So would you say that the constitution ALWAYS trumps the security of the nation?

  1030. Nazis who committed known atrocities were also punished after the war. Which is more than can be said of the scum who waterboarded the Guantonomo prisoners. Guantanomo meets all the definitions of the definition of "concentration cmp". But the government loves to play this word game to make it seem less offensive to civilised people. Torture becomes "enhanced interrogation" "concentration camp" becomes "internment camp". America has ceased to be a nation of law.

  1035. It would be awesome. I live in the assumption that there are aliens, but also that they're too far to ever reach us. If that changed, the whole debate would be, have they evolved beyond the desire for conquest, and do they consider humans worthy of treating better than we treat ants.

  1036. A sports competition where a number of the athetes are prevented from competiting simply because of their sexuality is as meaningful as one where they are prevented because of their race. It's a travesty. There's no such thing as "just the the olympics".

  1037. Different cultures have different ways, which is why I am opposed to cultural enclaves in foreign countries. If you want to come to Britain, you integrate with us, and if I want to emigrate to Spain,I take on their culture. Given time, cultures will interblend. Quoting Franklin does not add credibility to your case. We were all Africans at one time, and now look at us. It makes a lie of your quote.

  1039. I believe that ANY anti-social behaviour can be cured with enough effort, but the problem is, sociopaths are very good at playing the "I'm cured game". If the recidivism rate for such crimes is only 10%, who could, in all conscience, allow any of them back onto the streets again? I believe that there should be safe, segregated communities where such people are housed indefinitely, or until we can understand their brains enough to be 99.9% certain they are cured.

  1048. Actually, the current rate of inflation is only 1.06% which is very low in the overall trend. The auses of inflation are wide ranging, but factors out of the government's control, such as the price of oil, play into it. But I do agree with your general point that there needs to be a shift in favour of individuals rather than banks and corporations.

I only hope that every other nation bans Americans from visiting. You're fat, garish, loud and irritating when you visit, and now you're diseased. Fuck you all.

  1053.  @TheIrishrogue68  I want him to suffer for what he has done. Perhaps if he suffered total paralysis, then his whole family plus hannity were found guilty and imprisoned then he had to lay there for another 30 years knowing that he was villified, they were all in prison, and he never got to eat another burger or chocolate cake, or verbally attack his many opponents, then that would offer some degree of satisfaction and justice.

Almost universally on this planet, black nations are backwards, tribal, and badly run, and any decent infrastructure is provided by white races. I'm pretty sure that I could name 1000 white people who would be more than your equal physically or intellectually. I don't see a black Bill Gates! There's certainly no cause for your misguided sense of smug superiority.

  1062. Forgive me for not meeting your high standards of grammatically perfect sentence construction. But if we're going to be pedantic, an ethical obligation is not legally binding. It's HIS choice to decide whether or not to behave ethically, EXCEPT where such ethics are legally stipulated as well. YOU strawmanned me by introducing ethics, which were irrelevant to my original statement.
    1
  1063. I agree totally. In the UK we're still a bit uptight about stuff like that. Being uptight is not good, but it's reasonable that people consider their bodies private and not available for some minimum wage TSA employee to start groping - especially in public.

  1064. Maybe don't call when you're stoned Tommy. As for war crimes - if a president breaks international conventions or US rule of law, then he should be tried for war crimes. Obama perpetuated Guantonomo and for that reason alone should probably face repercussions. The fact that the US opts out of international military conventions in order to avoid being held accountable should be a matter of shame, but unfortunately, when even intellects like David justify this behaviour, there's not much hope.
    1
  1065. I think people could tolerate Obama being ineffective because it was clear that he faced unprecedented obstructionism by the Republicans, but they won't forgive him for overtly betraying on the American people. In a way, it reflects appallingly on Americans, that against the issues of done strikes, foreigns wars, extra-judicial killings, and runaway debt, that the issue that motivates them is their phone records!
    1
  1066. I think you should be able to rent out any part of your body. Why is a breast or a vagina or a penis or a rectum any different to a brain or a strong back? If you can donate eggs or sperm (or simply get pregnant/impregnate) without government health checks, then you can give a baby milk. My only issue is that from the price, she seems to think she's providing 1996 Moet, not milk!

  1068. As someone with some experience of combat, I know that once you get into a situation on the ground, especially as the guy on the bottom, your attention is 100% focussed on the other guy. Even for Trayvon, taking his attention off Zimmerman's arms and head for a second would have been dangerous, so I find it very unlikely that either of them went for the gun. I suppose Zim might have gone for it in desperation, and once he's showed it, of course Trayvon is gonna want to take control of the weapon
    1
  1069. He was tried, treated, and released.He has never re-offended. It's nobody's business but his own. It's only these holier than thou people who think he should be punished repeatedly and endlessly. I would suggest that NOBODY would make a better psychology professor than him, as he was clearly strongly motivated to understand his own inner workings.

  1077. A massive part of the legal system in any civilised country is based upon the jury getting to read the defendant's body language and reactions. If he is out of the court, that gves him a significant advantage. If he demonstrates that he is too ignorant to follow the court rules, then he needs to be treated accordingly. Personally, a soundproof booth would have sufficed, but it's foolish that the legal system should have to adapt to him, not the other way around.
    1
  1078. That's as may indeed be the case Kenn, but he didn't know HOW his actions would impact serving troops, and he was certainly not in a high enough position to have an overview of the US's operations. If he HAD cost lives, would you still be supporting him? Good & bad are often judgements based upon the results, not the choices. It could be interpreted that his were not the actions of a hero, rather a petulant, immature man lashing out because of oppression he received because of his sexuality.
    1
  1079. In fairness, he wasn't "instructed" not to follow Martin. He was told "We don't need you to follow him". The dispatcher had no right to instruct him not to do something that was within his rights to do. I still think Zim is a scumbag who got away with murder.
    1
  1080. What's that supposed to mean? That I have to be perfect before making a moral stance against something? That because I live in an increasingly fascist country that on a personal level I can't be opposed to the behaviour of an even worse state?

  1081. Yes - it was just an extreme example. But the government would still go after the journalist/publisher as well - it's not either or. Both would be threats to national security and it would be an easy case to make.
    1
  1082. Naton's argument is weak. You could exttend it to say "If after Boston, the government arrested the population of Boston, that would be reasonable because you'd be sure to catch the bombers". There's a line in terms of civil liberties that you don't want to overstep. The US passed that line with the Patriot Act, and sadly in Europe, we steamed past it looong before that.

And it IS in poor taste, but it's also pretty funny. I'd use one. Perhaps not on the subway, or to a marathon or school, but to the park or on my motorbike - totally!
    1
  1094. That's not true. Is your fuel and food the same cost as your parents paid when they were young? No? Why not? Inflation. Inflation reflects (among other things) the increased cost of providing goods or services. Part of the reason is the continually increasing wage demands of those involved in it production and delivery.

Its reputation on the world stage is at an all-time low, when it should be leading the way to a bright future of compassion and liberty. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, but I fear the mere fact that the trial is being held in private (and I understand the need) does not bode well for the country's integrity. But truth doesn't flourish in the shadows.

  1102. I hate that you question the "appropriateness" of this guy giving a student a ride home.

I wouldn't want to visit a country that continues to support Trump, nor would I want to do so for at least a decade or two, if ever.

  1118. Political views are on a spectrum. I am strongly left leaning, but you wouldn't see me dead near most liberal University echo chambers nowadays. Antifa and Black lives Matter have sprung out of these mindsets - both seemingly good ideas but ideologies become extreme by comfortable middle class students who have convinced themselves that they are victims.

  1127. The problem is that consumers have been educated to expect to live for cents. Dollar menu? You assume that there SHOULD be a dollar menu. The retail market shot itself in the foot a long time ago by contantly competing on price rather than value, and now this is where it's lead to. Just because people want the lowest prices possible doesn't mean that retail should continually decrease the cost of things. It's a moronic business model where only the big survive.

  1132. Wow - you have issues. I made no position statement. I merely asked you to support your claim. I'm not white, Conservative, or racist. And it's hilarious that you have the temerity to accuse anyone of racism whilst at the same time using the phrase "conspiracy by the liberal "jew" media". Zimmerman had a perfect right to follow Trayvon, just as you have a right to film someone engaged in criminal action. When that crossed from following to stalking is when my support for him ceases.

  1138. Scump's a bully to women? Soooo out of character. :-/ You morons voted for him BECAUSE he was a bully during the primaries. You thought that made him strong.

  1143. I didn't ignore them; they weren't relevant. I'm not going to consider the dozens of other non-sports. Clearly you're a computer gamer who wants to be viewed as an athlete because of it. Now THAT'S retarded. There's nothing wrong with playing compter games, but they don't fit any meaningful definition of sport and gamers fit no meaningful definiition of athletes. It's not a matter of conditioning. It's a matter of the words actually meaning something that computer gaming is not.

  1145. Louis showing his ignorance on this subject. The Kinsey report on male sexuality says that the sexiuality of all males lies somewhere on a continuum from 100% heterosexual to 100% homosexual, with very few at either extreme. A surprisingly large percentage has experimented with anothe male. I appreciate that watching anal may be a turn off for any hetero male, but if Louis says that seeing an expert blowjob, no matter who delivers it, does not stir some erotic empathy in him, I'd be surprised.

  1152. It's called evolution. Some races are still scrabbling around in the dirt, without the sense to develop technology or leadership past the bronze so that their societies can be free to live more fulfilling lives. It causes me no discomfort to accept happily that we all evolved from Africa - but the point is - some of did just that - evolved a more civilised existence. And others clearly never left that tribal mentality behind. Your misrepresentation of evolution reveals your ignorance.

  1155.  @MrDougmartin No, I'm the type that sits for hours at a table and leaves no tip. Unless the service was good. In which case, I'll give a gratuity not a tip, along with a verbal comment on how great the service was. I'm also the type that deducts tips from menus that include them. My job is not to compensate for the employer's desire to make excess profits at the staff's expense. The menu should be priced to enable a living wage in the first place. As for being an elitist Trumpist, trump is the greatest vermin that ever walked this planet, but if you think that suggesting people should ge5t an education is elitist I'm surprised you managed to lift your knuckles from the dirt to even type that comment. You don't need a university education to make somethng of yourself, but I never knew a person working in the service industry who was not there as a result of their own life choices. Why should I feel guilt over those? The itrony is, that you feel it is perfectly acceptable to perpetuate an industry that exploits its workers. So how are you a better person than me, asswipe?

  1156.  @MrDougmartin  You seem confused about your position Douglas. You seem upset because I suggested that people who waited tables are uneducated, then you say it's one of the few jobs where uneducated people can earn lots of money. Make your mind up. So staff are making $250 in 3 hours, but I should feel obligated to add to that wealth? Riiiight. If you enjoy waiting tables, good for you. I've known dozens of people who did it and never met one till now who did it because they enjoyed it. And at NO TIME did I say you should be ashamed of being a waiter. Perhaps ashamed for being ignorant or lazy, but not for being a waiter. If you have become a master of waiting tables (and I doubt you made that at your local family restaurant), good for you. You're maximising your opportunities given that you are are apparently uneducated. Or maybe you ARE educated, and that's what enables you to make that sort of money once in a while. Let's see if you are still doing that in your 50s. And I'm gonna bet on average you don't clear $75 a day in tips. Moreover, any income dependent on the discretion of others is not stable, and cannot be used to get onto the housing ladder or take out large loans, so your future is considerably limited.

  1157. @Christopher Kevin RasmussenThere should be NO expectation of an additional financial exchange beyond the price on the menu. NO other form of exchange has a ticket price, then says to you "We pay the staff so poorly that they depend upon your generosity to survive". If you are impressed by the service and want to show appreciation, then YOU should get to decide what that service is worth. It's not a negotiation. Personally, I would say that asking upfront is completely silly. Now you don't even know if the service you receive merits a gratuity. In Britain, I believe the norm is 10%, and 20% in America, but I pay what I feel the service merits from zero to whatever. A charming, well informed waiter/waitress might receive as much as 25% on a good day, but given that you cannot even guarantee that tips go in the pocket of the server, again, I repeat, it's a pathetic system.

If I was omnipotent, I'd slowly roast every single single Republican senator and half the Dems to remind the remainder of their responsibility.

  1167.  @burke615  "The moral argument is that the very wealthy have benefitted the most from society" That's not a moral argument. That's an argument from entitlement. The very wealthy have (theoretically) worked the hardest, taken the biggest risks, played the system most effectively, and deserve the greatest rewards. As for the "utility" of money, that's simply a poor person looking a wealthy person's money and saying "you won't get as much use out of it as I will so I deserve to steal it from you." In what other circumstance would that be acceptable? If you have a large house and no family do I get to come take 90% of your rooms because I have 10 kids?

  1168.  @alveolate  Actually, I have no problem with those on a low wage paying litte or no tax until their income reaches a reasonable threshhold. But then after that a flat rate for everybody - no decuctions, no offshore registration, no depreciation of assets, no sly accounting. If you earn a dollar you pay 20 cents.

  1169.  @TheCheese1988  It amazes me how an intelligent person as you clearly are, justifies theft and a sense of entitlement to other people's money. Let's unpack this. At its most basic level, taxation is designed to provide support for the infrastructure that enables society to function: roads, army, police, government, safety regulation, etc. It was NEVER intended as a form of wealth redistribution nor SHOULD it be. By what right does a poor person who has made bad life choices have any expectation to share in the income of those who earn more? Nobody CHOOSES to be born into the society that they live in. I believe it was Rousseau who coined the term "the social contract" the tacit agreement of the population to be governed by laws that they did not explicitly choose. The only way that ANYONE would voluntarily agree to that is if those laws are perceived to be both fair and necessary. On a fundamental level, providing social infrastructure is both fair AND necessary. Ignoring idiot libertarians who think that they can somehow pay only for what they use (somehow forgetting about foreign adversaries, immigration control, law and order, health and safety and a million other things that they cannot possibly pay for on a "by the use" basis. Don't get me wrong, I think that healthcare IS a human right, and affordable tertiary education benefits society, but it is not the DUTY of the wealthy to benefit society. YOu say that "a person profiting from a country and its citizens gives a share of their wealth back" and by "a share", you actually mean a GREATER share as a percentage, but this is where you are thinking like an uber-lib. Society has no RIGHT to their money. Except for those who make their wealth from investing, the wealthy have already more than given back to society in terms of jobs, and services required to support their businesses. Take Amazon - your example. They employ 566,000 people worldwide. That's over half a million people who would possibly not even HAVE jobs were it not for Amazon. Again we can definitely talk about minimum wage but that's a different conversation. Then talk about all the other industries that benefit - the fuel industry that puts gasoline in all those worker's cars, the taxation levied upon the gas to deliver all those goods, the delivery drivers (not employed by Amazon), the packaging manufacturers, plus the manufacturers of all the things they sell. The ripples of income generation for society and the goverment is massive. So when you talk about the benefis Basos takes from society, he pays every step of the way for that benefit, and society would be far worse off without Basos than the other way around. Now you have proposed that people who, through their own labour or that of family members before them, earn much more than the average, should simply have more of that income stolen from them. Why? Did they use more of society's resources to accumulate it? You say that being taxed on their earnings is "ergo fair". They ARE taxed on their earnings. If they earn 20 million and you earn 200k, if you are both taxed at a flat 20% THAT is fair. You are absolutely spot on in assessing that the wealthy are able to use their wealth to exploit a plethora of tax avoidance schemes and I would argue that THIS is what needs addressing. In a sense, simply increasing the tax rate for ALL high earners is the same as a regressive tax for the poor in that it penalises ALL wealthy for the crimes of just a percentage of them. Take Jeff Basos or Elon Musk - a bigger pair of scumbags you could not hope to meet. Perhaps they pay their staff minimum wage and hide their money offshore. Then take Bernie Sanders. I assume that he is straight down the line with his taxes. Why should he pay a higher tax bracket because scum like Musk avoid their share? The solution is not simply to raise taxation on ALL higher earners (I realise Sanders would never be in the same tax bracket as Basos). The solution is to ensure that the wealthy are not able to exploit loopholes that their wealth enabled them to have implemented in the first place. And the solution is to take money out of politics.
