Well I be damned. How effective!

Full House was a huge part of my childhood and it took 20 years to realize why: it offered a peephole into an alternate reality were children were treated with dignity and respect. Here's my review of a very unfunny show that beneath the hit or miss humour had a lot of heart.

With the uprise of #BlackLivesMatter, I would say yes!

Hey everybody, I am very proud and glad to share with you a review I've been wanting to do for a couple years now and that's for The Fault in Our Stars; a story about two teenagers with cancer who meet at a support group and fall in love with each other. I want to thank everyone here who has watched my videos so far, provided helpful feedback in terms of production quality as well as philosophical views on some of the stories, and I hope you continue to watch and share with newcomers!

yeah it does, in your quote at least LOL I don't know what happened there. Guess the board coding doesn't support embedding the time skip and turns into a regular ol link.

This is a pretty old article, but it does contradict Stefan's claims that the Trump household was spanking free. Although Ivanka has said it was her mother that was the disciplinarian, with no clear indication that Donald has spanked her as well, I do wonder if he condoned it or was one of the reasons why he divorced Ivana. http://www.marieclaire.com/career-advice/tips/a105/ivanka-trump/ I'm not sure which video it is where Stefan says there was no spanking in the Trump household, but I am interested in seeing the citation where it has been discussed elsewhere beyond this one Marie Claire article.

A minimalist is someone who has the bare minimum, a recluse is someone who is a mess bcause of it, rather than actively making the choice to have the bare minimum.

that was some top notch animation. Protip to make a video skip automatically to your time desired, add this to the end of your link: #t=3m20s like so https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al1CpCfSEHo#t=3m20s

So it has been brought to our attention through Frozen and The Force Awakens that there is a rising trend of creating over powered female characters with little to no training to earn their prowess. Let's flip that around and see if we can think up of some female characters who do put a lot of work into earning their status as heroines of the franchises they come from. Mulan comes to mind right away for me because a lot of the movie is about her pretending to be a male AND a soldier, and horribly getting her ass handed to her. Ya'll know the catchy tune BE A MAN! (we must be swift as coursing river)--where basically a great montage shows her growing from awkward novice to promising soldier who would later turn the tide at a critical war with the Huns. Her motivation was great too, she had a great love for her father and did not want to lose him to a war he was drafted to serve in, and instead took his armour and posed as him to protect him, and ultimately her country. Then there's a really extreme example of Hit Girl from Kick Ass, a little preteen girl who wields katanas and a variety of firearms, who can decimate an entire gang singlehandedly. Where she lacks strength, she has a ton of agility and her tiny frame allows her to be as nimble as possible in order to maneuver around crowds and deliver lacerations and gunshots with breakneck speed. It was her father Big Daddy who trained her to be a lethal killer, and I do see the apparent child abuse shown in their training sessions, what with Big Daddy basically shooting her point blank so she can learn how to take a gunshot, as well as telling her ot kill her conscience in order to be okay with killing criminals. I don't praise this at all, but it does serve as an example in which a female character DOES earn their fighting prowess. While I don't condone the idea of turning little girls into soldiers, or anyone else for that matter, I just wanted to point out these examples in which female characters DO put in the training and effort to become the femme fatales they are known to be. Do you have any other examples? And what are your thoughts on these characters? I now leave you with one of the most epic Disney songs ever...

Hey everybody, just wondering if any of you were fans of the 1967 Disney animation of The Jungle Book. Did it leave an impression on you, is it big part of your childhood, and what do you remember about it if it has been years since you last watched it? Did you know that the original collection of short stories by Rudyard Kipling actually included scenes of child abuse and the abuse of heirerchal power? For more details, check out my book to film review here: and as always, any thoughts and criticisms are always welcome on any of the claims I make in my reviews. Hope you enjoyed it!

not the best way to open people up to hearing you out...even if you were right. Which you're not. Incredibly not.

https://whistlinginthewind.org/2014/03/22/why-taxation-is-not-theft/ Any thoughts on this? I'm still mulling it over myself on how to refute it or if there's any arguments possibly worth accepting. What do you guys think?

Tolle regards presence as fundamental to correcting current personal and societal problems. People being unconscious and enveloped in their egos is what caues them. Which is why the RTR mode of conversation is liberating, it's in REAL time, as opposed to the unleashing of repressed and unconscious volatility that is expressed in say a typical loud and verbally abusive argument between two people. Tolle recognizes unconsciousness as an evil and as the ultimate enemy to human happiness. Word salad chef or not, the basic principle of using your mind instead of it using you is fundamental to personal freedom. Being present and conscious dispels falsehood because you no longer misconstrue or misconceptualize reality, you perceive it as it is. What his approach to personal development simply leads down to is this: obssessing over the past only fills you with regret and nostalgia, while obssessing over the future fills you with anxiety and anticipation, thus robbing you from experiencing the present moment which is all we ever have. You can think about your past mistakes and learn from them, you can plan your tasks and goals ahead of time, but to seek fulfillment anywhere else other than this eternal moment is living unconsciously. Think about it, when you think about the past you're doing right now. Think about the future, you're doing it right now. No other moment in time exists except for right now. When things happened in the past, it's the form the present moment took at the time and it's long gone now. When things you were looking forward to in the future happen, they happen in the here and now taking the form of the present moment. No other moment exists. Any other moment you refer to as past or future are just concepts that are either no longer reality or have yet to manifest.

Dicksand/Clitsand: When someone invests a significant amount of their time towards a partner to the point of neglecting other repsonsibilities in life and other relationships. This is different from being dicknapped because the partner's behaviour may or may not be immoral, but the person being consumed by the dick/clitsand is making the personal choice to morph into an extention of their partner.

Wow interesting I don't know why I didn't see it that way. That utopias are a way to address current problems by having this ideal standard. I guess I'm just too used to the idea of people being scorned and shamed into looking crazy for wanting (what they think) what's best for humanity. Yeah that conclusion about drilling into a child's character at a young age rather than letting them show who they really are and what really want as they grow up, but in the meantime let them be kids. Unless I misunderstood what he said. And wtf is that crap about sincere democracy? How are taxes collected? Would they be voluntary? That should have been mentioned. What conclusions do you disagree with? Though I can get behind secular litergies and rituals, the temples of virtues. They could be like a free market of spirituality where they co-compete with each other. The times will tell which virtue is most needed the most. Interesting video thanks for the share!

The Shire was Libertarian? Really?! How? I'm not that big on LOTR so it may have slipped my mind when I watched the films oh so many moons ago.

The East is the closest I've found in terms of depicting Anarchists as heroes. Anti-heroes, but heroes nonetheless. Have you?

I've been averse to dystopian stories my whole life thinking that they're all about having overly complex concepts, but that of course robbed me of the value that can be seen in some of them in terms of mirroring the challenges we face as a species today. Recently I read Allegiant, part 3 of the Divergent series and enjoyed it tremendously more than I thought I would. Here is my book to film review on the dystopian trilogy's finale that almost...ALMOST made an argument for anarchy.

Great article man. Read it the other night. Very illuminating. It's a tough decision to make and I think your article can help others so that they do not approach the subject with their parents with hostility only to end up with more dysfunction in the end.

This Twilight fan-fiction has swept up a storm in the literary world and in the film industry, but aside from the surface level shock value of BDSM and a master/slave relationship...this story has so much more to offer. Much much more. Which I go into detail in my review!

This is a horrible nitpick if I ever did see one.

So I tried it out and it does sound a bit better without my heater going off in the background, however, now my voice sounds soap boxy and weird. How would you suggest I proceed in repairing the audio after reducing the backgroud noise? I would assume you have a ton if not some experience with it so I'd like to know what you think, and in the meantime I'm gonna try repairing it with some treble and bass adjustments. Here's what I was able to muster:

judging by how she reacted to her exboyfriend's abuse story, I'm pretty sure she's serious about condoning it

I would be interested in Stefan's rebuttal as well as he already did for Dear Fat People video. But yeah my thread's already covering this video.

There was also some controversy about how she abused her ex-boyfriend. The fact that she makes fun of "my abuse story" videos in her pro-spanking one gives me reason to think she did that as a slight towards him.
