  1. Nothing new, I figured that out on my own when I was 12.

  2. I dont know if I am turning into glenn beck lately or what but I am starting to think that a load of stuff you are posting is a load of bloody junk. This piece of nonsense and pat condell- its turning into a racist version of some gossip magazine round here.

  3. There is no evidence that Pat Condell is racist. You need to pay more careful attention to what he's saying. I suspect you are making the mistake of conflating the definition of Muslims and Arabs.

  4. "Dr. Helen Fisher explains why it is so hard to look away when a well-known celebrity has been unfaithful." - really? Then why didn't I watch this video, huh.

  5. So what's the evolutionary reason for celebrity sex tapes?

  6. I don't disagree with her or anything. It' just so simple ( simple-minded). Someone gave her a doctorate? What she's saying I knew, as DreamDevil says, at the age of 12. Let's give her money so she can live on her ranch in Taos--or wherever. She lives for her art! She's a wise woman! Let them eat cake!!

  7. @blake pat is very clever in covering up his utter hatred of the other races and uses clever words to continually disguise this...but it only takes a brief scan of his fans to see that he is a willing spokes person for all racist groups: the BNP being the biggest.

  8. Yeah I guess that's why he takes the opportunity in practically every third video he makes to denounce such groups using unequivocal, explosive insults. But that's probably all part of the big illusion that he's orchestrating, right? lol. You're deluded.

  9. This is absurd. The T.V. is a campfire??? Television is a totally passive medium, there is no "talking", no discussion. This isn't science but pure speculation based on a misuse of the theory of evolution. Not everything human beings do is defined by genetic predetermination. If this were the case then why would we have history at all? The television is an important expression of our passivity and preference for representation in THIS society that in no way correlates to a campfire. Bad science.

  10. <p>Cider, Asam, Bill, Fabk.. Suvarna, Martin? Or whatever name you prefer to use.. here you're going entirely off-topic, you lack reasoning and any (valid) arguments, yet again. The contents of the videos on this blog as well as the reasoning and arguments from visitors in each thread seem to be too much for your single-celled-brain to comprehend, so you prefer to ignore those each and every time and eventually go running to other threads and start spouting more of the same idiotic brain fallacies of yours there. I have told you before and I'll do it again: you are full of sh*t and frankly, it's just pathetic. Your trolling-like behavior already became really boring a while ago, but I have good hopes for almost everyone, maybe, just for clarity, you could start out by using one name and use the reply link on comments for a change.
