In this thread we post short things that don't require a seperate thread. Things like this:

The mention of oil consumption and implied peak oil in this recent thread made me think of this...
You bastard...
lol
I honestly wasn't trying. I really just thought of a few things to post and realized what day it was.
I actually hadn't seen the last two clips...be sure to watch to the very end.

Rockwell's blog linked to MAPPING STEREOTYPES PROJECT by artist Yanko Tsvetkov.
I love this kind of art, reminds me of the work of Yazmani Arborleda who did THE ASSASIGNATION OF BARACK OBAMA and HILLARY CLINTON a few years ago.
Hilarious to some, offensive to many, but hopefully enlightening to a few.
That stuff is incredible. Thanks for sharing

Any libertarian thoughts on this documentary?
John James: American Vs Swedish Military Recruitment Ads [v iew:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWqT8Rljt_8:640:385]

The two ads are selling very different things. The American one is selling the feeling of pride and courage within the soldier--excuse me Marine™--, while the Swedish ad is selling the helping of others so that they can have lives like the Swedes. Perhaps this is why American military is very righteous and probably the most dangerous--they believe they are doing what is righteous and it's all about how they feel. Whereas, the Swedes are trying to stop violence in other places, but there's actually hope that they would realize that their attempts are futile because the Americans are over there causing the whole mess.
To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process. Rabbi Lapin: "Let's make bricks!" Stephan Kinsella: "Say you and I both want to make a German chocolate cake."
Imaginary property propaganda video. It's funny as hell. It's like showing war, murder and nuclear bombs and calling it "that's what voluntaryism is! Support the state!"

Some of those comments are pretty awesome. Even more encouraging is the rating meter. It may sound crazy, but people are actually catching on to IP reality.
I thought this was a bit funny.
I love the way the woman asking about neckties is portrayed as curious and confused, as opposed to snappy and sarcastic, like the person who actually said that.
And I guarantee the guy who created this looks exactly as he is portrayed in that opening panel.
I picture him looking like that, but also wearing birkenstocks.
Where's the libertarian version of this? Having trouble finding it (the one attacking libertarians and the libertarian rebuttal).

Here is the original video from 3 years ago that discusses the case in greater detail. (It's been that long of a battle)
My grandaddy had three kidneys and donated one. My neighbor had two kidneys and sold one for $15k to make improvements on his house ... lol ... sad but true. I hear folks in India are selling theirs for $30k? Wonder what they'll fetch in the USSA?
edit: duplicate post, sry
Did you type USSA accidentally or did you really mean United Soviet States of America? XD
Hm...That's what I am officially calling it.
Not by accident, just a little poetic licensing, thinking more like United Socialist States of America.
More hypocrisy from statists who masquerade as liberty lovers...

Comment thread on the first video:
Oh I see. So this was just a display of decency and class in the treatment of a sitting congresswoman...

mikerotcherson
@mikerotcherson That is MUCH different. Jimmy Fallon introduced Michelle Bachmann in an incredibly inappropriate way on national television. Thats a video on youtube, and is nothing more than his personal opinion. Big difference.
wiegraf37
@wiegraf37 Right, because decency is completely dependent upon how publicized the act is. Thanks for showing your true excuses-making selective bias colors.
(And that video has over 150,000 views. I wouldn't be surprised if that's more than a typical episode of Fallon's show. Plus it's on youtube...meaning it's exposure can only grow.)
@mikerotcherson it was a satire you dope, she wasnt introduced to it on live television
XxxxExclusivexxxX
@XxxxExclusivexxxX Oh I get it! It's different when Crowder makes a mockery of a sitting congresswoman, because HE's a "comedian"!
Wait a sec...where have I heard something like that before?...
/watch?v=3OwhnFP_Ddk
@mikerotcherson there is no comparison between a political commentary on YouTube and a blatant show of disrespect for someone on a corporate produced show on national television, that every aspect of was meticulously planned, and that was seen and approved by many people who had the power to stop what occurred, and none whom had the decency to do so.

@Clowd009 "a blatant show of disrespect for someone that every aspect of was meticulously planned, and that was seen and approved by many people who had the power to stop what occurred, and none whom had the decency to do so."
Oh...Kind of like Crowder's video?
@mikerotcherson you Bush is made fun of in half of all politcal youtube videos and nobody flinches but when one is made about pelosi your all up in arms about it? Please, don't be a hypocrite.
nnlamb25
@nnlamb25 Ironic you should mention the word hypocrite.
I'm not the one who just put up a 4 minute video berating people for making fun of a sitting congresswoman and romanticizing about how full of decency and class I and my fellow ideologues are...after having made fun of a sitting congresswoman myself in the same meticulously planned manner.
But way to wear those blinders!
There is a new Austrian school started soon. Who would have thought that during the beginning of this century there wasn't something new coming out of Vienna that may revolutionize the world. So when writing about an Austrian school you now have to distinguish between:
- of course an economical school - a philisophical school - a psychological school - a musical school - an ethnological school - and now the AISOS = Austrian International School of Sex!
hehe ... ;)
Too good to pass up. This might prove very useful for confused people you may come across...

Don't know if anyone has posted this already, but this is truly disgusting:
You actually missed it just barely and posted around it...
Have a look at this page. My post at the top is in response to a video earlier in the thread...which you can reach through a link in the very last post, which is a response to the one right before it.
