Feb 20, 2010 - @CheStillFighting If capitilism is a massive failure, why the fuck do I still see the US dollar as still the world's trading money??

Feb 20, 2010 - "The state is by nature an oppressive and coercive entity. The system used to control people, and power, is the police"There is no alternative. I'd rather trust the state to enfroce the laws because its a tried and working system. The rule of law is always better than the rule of men.In anarchy, the man with the bigger stick would be your authority.

Feb 20, 2010 - Just looked down at all these comments and was once again astounded with the way youtubers manage to get into stupid debates under nearly every video.
CheStillFighting Says:
Feb 20, 2010 - @yuna238 i have nothing but pity for you. your heart is full of hatred and so all you spill out is venom and infected cursewords, caused by your infected heart and backed by misinformation. I do understand though, as ignorance breeds hatred. I hope one day you will look outside your world you know so well, take a chance, and question it. then perhaps you may fill your heart with love.
CheStillFighting Says:
Feb 20, 2010 - @Szgerle not trying to sound mean or arrogant, but you clearly have no idea what anarchy really is. if you are interested in learning about it, i suggest reading some of the works of Mikhail Bakunin, one of my favorite anarchist philosophers.

Feb 20, 2010 - why the hell is everyone talking about anarchy and capitalism or hobbesian crap?people should be talking about lepidopterists or something insect related!
Szgerle Says:
Feb 21, 2010 - YOU have no idea what anarchy is. The world isnt the fluffy wonderland you like to think.Anarchy is lawlessness, people unbound by the law. Without human laws, there is only one law, the law of the stronger.As I said before, in anarchy the guy with the bigger stick is your authority, there will be nothing stopping people to kill eachother.

Feb 21, 2010 - Stephen Fry is one of my heroes and this is one of my fave series. Couldn't hope for a better host.If anyone likes Blackadder, I actually tackle an impression of Mr Fry as Melchett, amongst other characters. May make a few people out there laugh! Thanks.

Feb 21, 2010 - LOL Awesome. Do you do his trademark "BAAAAAHH!!"?
saytheremeg Says:
Feb 21, 2010 - Totally. Mark Cawardine, the zoologist who co-hosted "Last Chance to See", said that traveling with Stephen Fry was like traveling with Wikipedia. :D

Feb 22, 2010 - I've always thought they talked about the band The Beatles, and that they had an actual name for their fans.I don't know how I could think that, when they just talked about beetles and afterwards moved on to butterflies.Silly me.

Feb 23, 2010 - was mr fry in the movie V for Vendetta?
Raxarus Says:
Feb 23, 2010 - @9998833 Yes he was.
DarkShroom Says:
Feb 23, 2010 - haha and there's me thinking anarchy was where we came from, no it seems now you need to read books in order to learn how to burn them..
CheStillFighting Says:
Feb 23, 2010 - @DarkShroom no darkshroom, no need to read books if you prefer wallowing in your own ignorance.but if you want anyone intelligent to take you seriously you may consider perusing some literature.
dbtheguitarman Says:
Feb 24, 2010 - yes he was.
jamesscully49 Says:
Feb 24, 2010 - @DarkShroom why do we need to burn books anyway?
AnonPluto Says:
Feb 25, 2010 - @9998833 because hes a brave man
yuna238 Says:
Feb 25, 2010 - @jamesscully49 because the are theories of contradiction written to prove something. Mostly books were burned because they are written against religion, history that were tainted in shame in a country, secrets, or truth that wish not be acknowledged. Japan burned history books when it accused Japan of Nanking whick up to present day they still deny of the atrocity.

Feb 25, 2010 - @CheStillFighting @CheStillFighting My heart is perfectly beating and i dont need a moron to conduct a examination to see if my heart is black or pure. Che give up on what you are trying to even argue. You can have your own opinions how the US economy but you cant have your own facts.
DarkShroom Says:
Feb 26, 2010 - @jamesscully49 i was being sarcastic, anarchy is in fact something even a savage is an expert at, it is therefore ironic to read "but you clearly have no idea what anarchy really is" from CheStillFighting that was all, anyway he clearly as a chip on his shoulder

Feb 20, 2010 - @Szgerle Indeed, even China who used to be communistic slowly turns into democratic/capitilist. Which China is doing now, looking at how it dominates the stock market in spite of recession.
