  2. Faisal x do you have any better ideas? the system could be a dictatorship where a dictator takes away the rights of 100% of the population and the population lets him do it.

  3. +VICE News i heard that a few years ago, the state stopped the runoff of water from the sierra nevada mountains in order to save the fishing industry on the bay area coast as the real reason for the drought. the farmers used to use much of that water for their crops but now they can't use it.

  4. marshawn lynch the rest of the country should follow california's model or at least its old model.  they have the CSU system here and i only paid 800 something dollars and around 300 dollars for books a semester and worked full time at nigh so that i could pay my tuition without having to take out a student loan.  when i graduated, i didn't have a student loan to pay off.  the funny thing is that 1o years before, it was 480 dollars a semester and a few years before that it was around 300 dollars a semester.  25 years ago, people paid a little over 300 dollars a semester.  why can't the rest of the country do that?

  5. we aren't in any new world.  we are still in the same dark ages mentality world that we've always been in apparently.  our schools must have given us an overly rosy view of the way things are and the direction that we were heading towards.  people tortured people in the dark ages and in the 21st century, we are still just as savage and barbaric.  torturing these detainees did nothing as far as intelligence gathering and it helped terrorists to recruit.  it should have never happened.  the usa is supposed to be better than that.  this is the ideals that i was always taught about the usa in school and in the media.  apparently it was all propaganda.

  6. jeffrey milnes i think that some of those wars like ones involving inner muslim conflicts should be left alone and we should just let them learn the hard way how stupid and pointless wars really are.  if sunnis and shiites want to fight over something that has nothing to do with the west then those ones are ones that we should stay out of.

  7. Oskar i think that i can recall a few things about canadian politics.  some environmental laws seem to be being ignored in some towns and the cancer rate is growing, the laws are becoming stricter in general for canadians and their deficit is actually has grown quite large for a population of their size.  it is still nothing compared to ours as it is in the many billions of dollars but if yo did a little math and you took their population size with ours and you would get around 4 trillion dollars if they were our size.  ours is 18 trillion dollars but still, for a country like canada, their deficit is still too large and harper is another one to blame for that.  i'm sure that there is a lot more reason''s that canadians have to complain about their PM but those are a few of them.

  8. Oskar i never heard anything about what went on in the iron curtain countries or the soviet union.  i assume that journalists were banned from going there and we didn't hear anything.  well we did hear one thing, a lot of the basic freedoms that we had as americans and had always had were against the law in communist countries.  the only people who would've known anything about russians and poles not liking each other and the reasons why they didn't like each other would've been college professors whose expertise was in eastern european studies.  we sure didn't know anything about eastern and western ukrainian conflict or that there ever was a conflict.  we were lead to believe that yugoslavia was homogenous.  it probably stemmed from the fact that we were always a multi-racial country.

  9. +marine12324 assad never did anything to the usa. we should pick and choose our battles wisely and just stick to getting rid of ISIS.
    2
  10. marine12324 i think that it is bad news whenever we overstep our bounds in the middle-east.  no matter what the intentions of the troops and the pentagon might be, they will always be seen as imperialist occupiers and even worse non-muslim, infidel, imperialist occupiers.  besides that the syrian war isn't any of our business and nobody there wants us to make it our business.  if they (alawites and the rebels) want to fight and if taking in some refugees or sending out the red cross to help then that would be fine but sending troops to take out assad would be a really bad idea.  things would turn out worse than it did in iraq and pit us up directly against russia itself.  as a matter of fact i think that it was really stupid of putin to send troops to help assad in itself and now the muslim world is going to turn on russia now too and they won't just be chechen separatists either.
    2
  11. marine12324 whether or not we were imperialist occupiers or not, essentially everybody in the muslim world interpreted us as being that way.  the hint to me would be "stay out of our business and don't try to help us out." the wisest thing to do is to just acquiesce to their request and simply not get involved in their problems.
    2
  12. marine12324 if we send ground troops there then it could just be a temporary fix and lead to more radicalization against the usa.  we might be able to make ISIS impotent but it seems like we would have to watch out for more terrorist groups popping up.

  13. John Jensen i think that if someone passes all of the student admission requirements then he/she should be allowed to pursue a university education. i don't believe in low standards for admitting students though.

  14. it's either demonize us or call our government out for being incredibly stupid and incompetent for not doing their homework and impulsively invading iraq.

  16. i was wondering something.  how come you all haven't hired any black reporters yet?  i'm white and i'm don't normally jump on every civil rights bandwagon that comes along but still i have noticed that i have yet to see one black person work for you guys as a reporter?

  17. PirateKurd giving weapons directly to peshmerga would be seen as being subversive and underhanded towards the iraqi government.  its basic geo-political relations where unfortunately kurds get screwed.  the iraqi government is still an ally and one that they need to have open communications with.  its just how the rules are played.

  18. you do know that the soviet union and maoist china was pretty bad too.  as a matter of fact, i would rank them as being worse overall.

  19. ***** what kind of reparations do you want?

  20. after ISIS is finally defeated, the shiites and the sunnis are going to be really pissed off at each other for not cooperating with each other and will turn on each other again which might have been ISIS's plan all along.

  21. Zhou Sophie nobody in the world plays that game if you want to know the facts.  also the reason why china is "disrespecting" the usa isn't because of past slights but instead it is because china has the upper hand on the usa.  that is unfortunately how the international game of politics is played.  i hate the way they do things but nevertheless that i how it is.  actually it was the UN that declared "china's island" to be japan's.  i'm glad that the usa financed the tibetan exiles if they really did.  the chinese murdered and brutalized them and force them into exile.  the whole world except the chinese people know about this fact.  financing taiwan?  so what.  they didn't want to be a part of maoist china and drove the maoist army out of taiwan and declared themselves independent of china.  i know that they are predominantly han like most chinese but that doesn't matter.  trying to use that as an excuse would be like if the usa tried to invade canada and justify it by saying that we are ethnically the same therefore they should be a part of the usa.  as far as east turkestan, i don't know what is going on there. my guess is that there is probably some kind of independence movement going on

  24. Andrew Cawley from a geo-political standpoint, that's what anybody in any party from any country would've done.  it would also be seen as subversive, underhanded and threatening to the iraqi government to do that and obama nor would any other hypothetical president ever do something that would be perceived that way do something like that.  btw i like the idea of an independent kurdistan too.

  25. Oliver Green if they quit trying to build nukes and quit creating a military state then people will quit "picking on them." as long as north korea remains stronger then south korea militarily, the usa is obligated by treaty to continue to "bully" them.

  27. Adrian japan hosted the world cup in 2002. why don't they just fix things up instead of building new stadiums?

  28. Gökhan Günal why wouldn't the turkish government do this?  they already bombed kurds in kobane.

  29. i would say that when pigs fly and hell freezes over would be the day that ISIS gained support from iran.  iran is a shiite country and ISIS hates shiites more than anybody else and so of course iran hates them back.more then the usa or europeans, they hate shiites most of all.  stop watching fox news. lol

  30. picarochi ISIS developed directly from a ideology based on opposing wahabism and the house of saud and it still does.  they want to overthrow the monarchy there.  ISIS is known to the wahabists there as "taqfirs" which means the ex-communicated ones.

  31. Merhawi Netzerab technically that makes him a dictator if he was never elected or have anybody to answer to when it comes to passing laws but based on what you are saying he would be a "benign" dictator that hasn't abused his power by intimidating the population.  if the people in your country started to fear him and the army that protects him then he would no longer be a benign dictator but instead become a malevolent dictator or in other words a bad one.

  32. Ritvik Miglani i can think of a lot worse places to live then places that would seem "boring." lol

  33. +Dilandau88 i'm not sure if a socialistic system in california would've made the drought any easier on californians.

  34. BigChiefWiggles V i studied a little bit about how the media manipulates the masses myself.  you are right.  throw away your tv, select what you specifically want to watch and engage in the comment sections with others who watched the same video and develop your mind.

  35. Алексей Понамарёв the logical solution would be for ukraine to divide into it's own separate states but russia and the eu are greedy and want it all.  that's the problem and nobody is getting any truth from either the western media or russian media.  both are lying and exaggerating a great deal.  still, as an american, this seems like a regional conflict that has never involved the usa and i think that my countries government should've kept it that way.
    2
  36. David G Fisher if you hate your fellow countrymen that much then maybe you should move to ukraine then.  that was an awfully sweeping generalization that you made their too.  all 320 million of us are really of like minds and are really that bad huh?  i think that if the people in eastern and southern ukraine don't want anything to do with the new ukrainian government then they shouldn't have to have anything to do with it and they should be allowed to form their own smaller countries and run them however they want.  what's really stupid and what's really bad is that neither side seems to respect that logical solution.

  37. pastelcataclysm the UK should have a program where they trap and neuter/spay the foxes and then release them. that would keep the population under control and the local people will quit pissing off animal rights activists.

  38. ireland has a lot of very pretty women in their country as evidenced in this video. ;)  still, the catholic churches stance on birth control is an archaic and a bit dishonest.  it was based on pragmatism at the time.  there were wars, famines, plagues, etc that were severely decimating the population of europe and so they wanted to encourage people to have as many kids as possible to try to counter any future bad times that they figured the people would've inevitably faced.  the bible doesn't actually say anything about abortion but the catholic church figured that they would tell a lie and say that it was god's orders that they never practice birth control, jack off, and have as many kids as you can.  they got away with it because most people either were illiterate or thought that only a priest was allowed to read the bible for themselves (another mind fuck by the church).  it's time for everybody to get with the times.

  40. mullet head there's still no logic at all to wanting to continue to torture them.  there is no strategic objective that is effective and the argument made by politicians to continue based on a disproven assertion that it is strategically effective in gathering important information.  logic and rationality and facts should supercede the emotional desire for scapegoating and revenge.  especially when you want revenge on people that you have scapegoated and who you have chosen to represent the group or individual that you desire revenge upon.  when you allow your anger to dictate your actions like in the case of those who mistakenly from a rational point of view support the torture of these detainees then you "throw fuel on the fire" and make it much harder to achieve your overall objective.  in other words, you encourage far more sympathy for the group that you hate and that leads to their movement to grow exponentially which is what happened when they tortured these detainees who had no connections to 9/11.

  41. +VICE News i want to find out what would people who watch and follow the dispatches on ukraine would do to eliminate the massive amounts of corruption in russia and it's neighboring former soviet satellite countries. it seems like over half of the regular commentators are either russian or from a CIS country and all i ever see them doing is arguing about who is more corrupt out of all of the major players in these regions and never any ideas or plans to eliminate the corruption.

  42. Cesar TheBitch they look to me to only be about raiding villages, raping the women, murdering the men and kids, stealing everything from the village, burning the village down and moving on to the next village and doing it all over again. i'm not sure how they tie islam into it. even the dark stories of muhammed never had him go that far.

  43. they seem like the biggest bunch of spoiled brats that i've ever seen. i hope in five or 10 years, these twisted NAZI brats wake up and figure out what they've done. :/ fascists like these kids were unheard of on either side of the spectrum when i went to college. it's time that the grownups picked off a switch and took these brats behind the woodshed.

  45. @haenry von frompf "we can't solve anything until we know who 'we' are.........." you just told me exactly what your problem is. there is no "we." you and your own personal identity isn't supposed to be based on a collective......you are supposed to learn to think like an individual and not just some drone bee buzzing around feeling good about being part of a bee colony for safety and security reasons. can you think beyond what the leaders in your pack tell you to think? learn t think for yourself and then maybe this whole thread will quit going over your head.

  46. @g12002 too much collectivism leads to authoritarianism and kids like in this video. too much individualism leads to not being able to cooperate and work together with others. right now we have too much collectivism and if these kids are any kind of omen for the future.......we are in a lot of trouble from what will be too much collectivism. also notice how these kids can't even use basic reasoning and logic to defend their positions and seem to not care or think that it is even necessary.O.O

  47. @david a i wish that the hierarchical way that people work things out in group projects was as easy as they do it in HS/youth league football. usually the players who aren't the QB or RBs are glad that they don't play those positions because they know that the choices for those positions are better there then they would be and the team has a better chance of winning and playing better with those choices over them.

  48. Saman - nelson mandela really was doing terrorist attacks and therefore was a terrorist in his early years.  he later renounced it and became activist who used peaceful methods to end apartheid in south africa.  the word "terrorist" isn't necessarily a dirty word.  the media just likes to spin their stories any way they like and leave everybody confused about the very basics of history and current events.

  49. Snafu they do that all of the time. as a matter of fact amercians are always out protesting. its just that our press and apparently your press never mention it for some reason that i can't seem to figure out. (sarcasm). even right wing groups which is what this guy joseph sounds like go out in large numbers and protest things. i tend to disagree with them but still they are out there too.

  50. orangemania its still not as simple as raising the standards.  a dyslexic kid who has to work a lot harder in order to keep his/her grades up might do better than a kid who parties too much, develops poor study habits and flunks out or cheats his way through even though his grades in high school might have been impressive.  that's probably part of the reason why so many other 1st world countries either have free college or very low tuition and books cost and people here are against it.  they don't want their taxes to go to fund some kids drinking/drug habits.
