Jun 3, 2009 - examples? That's nitpicking; it is quite obvious from your comments that you have your own interpretation of other people's opinions...

dervishmadwhirler Says:

Jun 3, 2009 - There are some people here who seem to come back daily to thumb down completely valid comments.... pathetic, and, surely, typical....

dervishmadwhirler Says:

Jun 3, 2009 - Interesting to see tho, windydude, that you seem to believe that YOU are entitled to an opinion, while you deliberately misunderstand and wrongly interpret people's well-informed opinions... "an evil force" ---did anyone here say there is an evil force controlling everything?? Isnt the evil force just the greed and sheepishness of the common human? The lack of resistance against injustice and the automatic acceptance of any form of government? Or do you just echo somebody's opinion to be cool?

mightywind5888 Says:

Jun 3, 2009 - We are all entitled to our opinions. It's just some can be reasonably defended or explained logically and others cannot. Care to share the info that make your opinions so "well-informed?"

mightywind5888 Says:

Jun 3, 2009 - About the "evil force" comment: Would you honestly be complaining about a benevolent power? You must feel that whatever power you are not happy with has no benefit to you. I really am interested in hearing your explanation for your views. If the sheepishness and greed of the common human is really your issue, what do you plan to do about it--be angry for the rest of your life or destroy all humans? Resist the government indefinitely?

dervishmadwhirler Says:

Jun 3, 2009 - I am not angry at all, to be honest; I have a good life, thanks to my insistence on being free as I am. What I plan to do about it is unimportant. I just live as I want to. Say what I want to. With in my mind only the sense of equality that I believe humans should explore. I just happen to believe that our modern society is a failure. That our use of technology is infantile and vindictive. That nobody in the world has the right to determine what I think or do...especially government.

dervishmadwhirler Says:

Jun 3, 2009 - My opinions are totally independant of peer-review. I dont need to prove things that can be seen all around us. Life is not a play of words, not a battle of polemic and trying to prove the obvious to hard-heads. t the rate we are destroying our environment I'd say it is pretty obvious that we are missing some very important points. Hard to deny that one. No need to prove it, either. I guess a lot of humans enjoy living in their own filth and exhaust.

mightywind5888 Says:

Jun 3, 2009 - Mother Nature has done more to destroy the environment that we mortals could ever hope. Think asteroids, volcanoes, hurricanes, earthquakes. Why are you such a misanthrope? Did you have an overbearing parent? It may be affecting your indefensible, baseless world view. But, hey, you're entitled to believe whatever makes you feel better.

dervishmadwhirler Says:

Jun 3, 2009 - see; thats the one-sided view you have of things. Just because you have probably had an overbearing father, you immediately project this onto me. And damn, to state what you do;"Mother Nature has done more to destroy the environment thaN we mortals could ever hope." is pure idiocy. Mother Nature never destroys or take away randomly; it is all an intricate inter-related play of cause and effect. Humans on the other hand destroy randomly and vindictively. Nature cant destroy herself.

mightywind5888 Says:

Jun 3, 2009 - Hard to argue with that logic!

Jun 3, 2009 - Intriguing - I have heard similar theories...

blastingcaps Says:

Jul 15, 2009 - I plan on resisting government indefinitely. Government doesnt give you anything it didnt first take away. Now, go a head and front.

Jul 28, 2009 - How can you deal in absolutes such as never, and if you do and humans are apart of the fabric that is mother nature, mayhap humans are the pinnacle expression of the deminsion of space in which we reside, humans unknowingly express mother nature, we are just as indestructible in the act of expressing consciousness

someman7 Says:

Aug 11, 2009 - "dehousing", as well as dropping nuclear bombs is crime against humanity commited by, from what I've seen English and Americans "respectively". 20 minutes into the video we're still discussing airplanes, so I decided to quit right there.

Aug 18, 2009 - Curious how technological the Ching Pao was in China--I understood that night flying over the hump was line of sight.

Aug 27, 2009 - 4:47 - BRITISH did not stand alone - this guy is obviously not a professional historian. Within a few days of Britain declaring war New Zealand, Australia, Canada, India and the rest of the free world - not including USA declared war on Nazi Germany. I am not a professional historian either but come on!

ositanwoye Says:

Aug 31, 2009 - You are not even an amature historian. New Zealand, Australia, Canada, India were all colonies of Britain having the same leader, Queen Elizabeth. That is why he said Britain not UK. :) Do not attack people if you are not sure

ourmanthejoker Says:

Sep 4, 2009 - All those countries you just listed are in the UK you crazy. India was until 1947. So of course they declared war.

uncookedrecords Says:

Sep 4, 2009 - Queen Elizabeth is a figure head btw - parliament is sovereign and can pass any law - the queen has no real power.

uncookedrecords Says:

Sep 4, 2009 - I think you mean the Commonwealth.

ositanwoye Says:

Sep 4, 2009 - As at that time they /she did. Accept your error. Just don't attct people when you are not sure.

covingtonium Says:

Sep 11, 2009 - Wow. A google conference, and they can't get their stuff right. That would be a LANCASTER, not LANCHESTER. Built by AVRO. I have seen one fly personally. Much better useful load than a B-17 and faster I think too. Destroyed dams in the Rhineland. Nubs.

uncookedrecords Says:

Sep 24, 2009 - I am afraid you are in error. Re-check your assumptions before disregarding my comments. Churchill was in fact the leader of UK - the royal family have been figure heads since 18th century when parliament became sovereign in england. In NZ parliament can make any law, basically do anything - it is called a parliament democracy. same for all members of commonwealth. So my comment saying it was not just UK and USA in WW2 is right - many countries helped fight nazis before USA officially entered.
