the thought that we can even eliminate terrorists (or just irrational people) is just as irrational as the aforementioned. We've got to figure out how we handle the situations that arise so that we are impacted as minimally as possible, and figure out how we can act as to minimize the...

are you suggesting that the recent turn of events was when i first jumped on this anti-consumerism bandwagon? I'm not spewing any tangent from a professor of mine, i haven't read an economic textbook, i thought scholasticism died out in the 14th century -- i guess economics hasn't gotten the...

i didn't read it but i saw this

no i have a basic understanding of resources and inequality, and think we ought to get our priorities straight.

love it no homo

if by black you mean white, check his other videos that are in color. anyways, awesome vid, really good thoughts, he's got a sweet channel.

The last mass lynching happened in 1946, that's 62 years ago if you're counting, the point is we were the ones who solved our problems, the Canadian's didn't come down and take over Washington and tell us that we need to stop being such an evil regime. We don't need to do this in the middle...

don't bother, i'm sure you're going for the pictures of the people hanging from trees. sure it looks something like this: too bad that's not in Iran

I just want to point out that 7 years later we still haven't found Bin Laden. i also want to point out that 9-12 we had the whole world behind us, yet somehow that global suport was squandered by the president. it's funny what you percieve to be a flipflop.

i'm an American of course i consume more than my fair share, but it's not possible to opt out of the system if you have any desire to play a role in fixing it. I could remove my self from society, live sustainably, but if everyone else continues to live as they do, what good does that do? Just...

I'm sure we'll see the response of this soon enough, but what really worries me is how will India respond to this. What sort of example did we set back in 2001? When attacked by terrorists, you attack the country you think they originated from... although the Deccan Mujahideen havn't been...

i have no idea what you're talking about. do you actually have a comeback for the fact that we consume like there is no end, yet live in a world with a limited supply? it's not a good way to live regardless of the immediate goods you have, ultimately it'll crash and burn and everyone will suffer.

here's another novel idea, take a mental shift out of consumerism and realize that a. most consumption is unnecessary. Single mom get's her kids winter coats because they're cheep and the kids need to stay warm... Great! Single mom get's her kids the 52 " HDTV unnecessary. it's all about...

glad you want to perpetuate more of the same now at the cost of tomorrow, sounds real smart. I wonder how much you know about the ecological crisis, i mean sure the people of Detroit may be experiencing a rough spot, but what about the rest of the world? i know individually they might not count...

i quote from the OP behind our financial crisis a much more ominous crisis looms: we are running out of nature… fish, forests, fresh water, minerals, soil. What are we going to do when supplies of these vital resources run low?

There was a thread last night, why it's disappeared who knows, but while a lot of people have gone off to celebrate the day of consumption there's another movement to buy nothing today, really stick it to the man. It's really about sending a message about the perils of over consumption. with...

drew you're quite the page pro stoke for sprint wireless broadband card that allows me access (albeit slow) to the internet without having to pay the Marriott $20 a day. seriously Holiday inn gives that shit away for freeeee

makes you a damn busybody, There are plenty of regimes that aren't fundamentally aligned with the values of the united states, but if you want a real solution for the Iranian people, the solution is going to come from an Iranian. But I guess if you think of Iraq as a humanitarian effort...
