  1. The war on drugs is really the war on mental illness, because research shows that an overwhelming percentage of people incarcerated for vicitmless drug related crimes suffer from mental illness...so basically the justice system locks people away for having a mental illness. Bravo.

  2. Fact- there was a least one boner in the audience.

  3. He's entitled to his opinion. You can't debate with a comment like that, I take it purely as entertainment.

  4. Thanks, I'll stick to fruits and vegetables.

  5. If you're talking about the comment that stars with "However..." I read it.

  8. I think this is a great idea, just don't forget that SUV cell phone talking soccer moms always have the right of way.

  9. @adj789 All of it. Come on man. Have you flown over the gulf and saw with your own eyes that the spill is almost gone? Most of it is under water. But what's funny about your comment is that even when the oil is visibly gone, it's impact on the environment will last for decades. Some animals might go extinct because of it, and coral reef that has been forming for 1000's of years will be wiped out completely when all said and done. The damage hasn't even begun yet.

  11. @sexyloser I eat raw foods. My diet consists of raw fruits, veggies & soaked nuts. I don't know any raw foodists that get sick, overweight or that visit the doctor regularly. We eat foods with life force, not rotting corpses. On the other side of that you have people who eat traditional diets of cooked foods. 1 in 3 develop cancer, most are overweight and pay the doctor regular visits. They literally pay the doctor! I can't argue with years and years of consistent results.

  12. I think this rotten huckster is trying to pitch a sale to big media corporations like comcast for fiber optic cable.

  13. We have allowed ourselves to be tremendously disempowered by allowing our values to shift toward the material domain. The dominator style has led us into a blind alley. We're polluting our air and poisoning our oceans. And what has technology done for Earth lately?

  16. Well yes, I agree that we have actual problems in the world, all human created problems like your example points out. Which brings me back to my original point that there is little common sense in the human world. That's the point I was trying to make in the first place. So you agree that the animals are happier than we are?

  17. @sexyloser This is just a gut feeling backed up with a little research, but I think the rise in cancer, and it's 1 in 3 people that get it, is due the eating dead meat that's been sitting on the shelf at the supermarket for days or even weeks, that comes from animals that were mass produced to meet the heavy consumption demands of this country. Do you know why lions don't get cancer? They eat raw fresh meat and have a short GI tract. Ours tract is much longer so the meat putrefies in there.

  18. david blain is such a tool. People in the Antarctic survive in harsher conditions than you're stupid little mickey mouse block of ice.

  19. You're a raw vegan, right? Do you believe that a very wide spectrum of what we call disease today is caused by an improper diet, particularly the America diet that consists of sugar, flour, starches and cooked foods that degenerates living cells in the human body? Disease today, IMHO, is caused by none other than eating the wrongs foods. We as a culture have forgotten how to eat. As if man can produce a food more perfect than an apple or an orange.

  20. Forgot to mention one thing.... Psychedelic substances is an amazing practice for the end of life. Terence McKenna refered to taking psychedelics like DMT and psilocybin a dress rehearsal for the real thing. Most people will think this is rubbish or that I'm promoting drug use, but people who know about psychedelics or heard of Terence McKenna will know exactly what I'm talking about.

  21.  @maxonite  Fact ... until something comes along and shatters that paradigm. In science today's fact is tomorrow's old news. Happens all the time. Here's some context, I don't know if evolution is real or not because I haven't studied or researched it myself, but my comment was insinuating that man's high intelligence may have had other influences other than evolution

  22. The problem is that government has made the society so dull, boring and predictable that the only way to escape is either thru drugs or the internet. Before trying to diagnose a symptom I would suggest getting to the real problem first.

  23. But I was pretty certain that the whole "@user" syntax started with twitter. I did not mean @ started with twitter. You know what I'm getting @?

  24. If you require constant motivation to be a top producer, reconsider your career choice. Just my two cents.

  27. What you consider thinking properly is not spontaneous creativity. The role of schooling in today's society is to compartmentalize students through standardized testing. From the moment you're indoctrinated into the system starting in grade one, you're placed on a "conveyor belt" to become at the other end a lawyer, a doctor, a manager, etc... There is no creativity there.

  29. I bet not. I don't think anyone can take full credit for the web. Most likely it was the collaboration of many hackers and freaks. he's an arrogant pompous ass for taking full credit.

  33. I don't know if I'm being the bearer of bad news, but I don't think there is a sustainable way to feed 7 billion people. I think the question is are we going to crash or have a soft landing.

  34. Does the Abu Ghraib reference surprise anyone? Last time I checked war wasn't a positive thing. the 372nd Military Police are a bunch of rapists and sodomists, and I'm sure there are others.

  36. If you don't know that US politicians are the real terrorists then you haven't been paying attention. We went into the Iraq war under the pretense of "putting an end to weapons of mass destruction." My memory is kind of fuzzy, but who was it again that dropped the first nuclear weapon in a foreign land?

  37. There were other people involved. he's taking full credit in the video. That's BS. Give credit where credit is due.

  38. You don't even have to be religious to comes to terms with the fact that we were all put here on this Earth as equals, and it's no one's job to tell you what you can or can't do. But some folks take their job to seriously- I won't name any names coughobamacough- and kill in the name of whatever bullshit lies they tell themselves. When we as a society allow others dictate what we can or cannot do, who we can or cannot marry, we're powerless...we're just giving it all away.

  41. @TheBermuda No problem. The universe is stranger than we can suppose. It is literally a mystery that will more than likely never ever be solved. Personally, I like it that way, it makes things interesting. But it's nice to see everyone trying to figure it out.

  42. @bunions4444 A lion is designed to eat animal meat. It can hunt down a gazelle and tear it limb from limb tearing huge chunks of flesh with it's big teeth. Humans were not designed to eat animal meat. We were designed to eat fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds. Wanna get healthy, stay away from animal products, sugar and flour. Green herbs remove toxins, fruits provide energy, soaked and culturized nuts provide enzymes and amino acids. That's all you need to survive.

  43. @SiriusMined I know what you mean. There's no real reason why anyone should be using fur anymore. Thousands of years ago fur was used as clothing to keep us warm. If you see someone wearing it today they're just making a fashion statement. That's the sad truth.

  44. The way I see it is that the strings that you are made from at this moment will fall into different vibrational state, i.e. the decomposition of your physical body. But that's considering string theory is correct and whether or not you believe consciousness is part of string theory or separate. Like thoughts and ideas and awareness, are they strings? Crazy stuff

  46. Human: Human beings have dreams. Even dogs have dreams, but not you, you are just a machine. An imitation of life. Can a robot write a symphony? Can a robot turn a... canvas into a beautiful masterpiece? Robot: Can *you*?

  48. I can't use a comfortable chair at my office job because I fall asleep and my boss is a bitch and tells me that I can't sleep on the job. I'd love that chair for napping at home though.
