Better than that crazy lady.

if you mean that in the sense of having your belly stuffed with concrete is worse than having your balls crushed in broken glass...either way, not good for you, and likely fatal.
Meh

Quoteone of the many regulations dumped by the clinton administration was the Glass–Steagall Act, which separated the part of the banks you kept money in from the gambling stock market banks. which allowed the mortgage crisis to spiral out of control. also the ratings agencies supposedly rating stocks and funds for the banks were taking money in exchange for higher ratings fooling pension funds and mutual funds into investing in total shit, that's great regulation.

When he tried to claim that Canadas banks were so stable because they were strictly regulated. I know the Glass-Steagall thing is false but I odn't know enougha bout it personally to debunk this nonsense.

I always find it humorous when morons believe they're smart enough to speak on behalf of other people.

According to Investopedia, http://www.investopedia.com/articles/03/071603.asp the Glass-Steagall thing is partially true. In 1929, it was believed that speculation in the stock market by commercial banks using depositor's money contributed to the stock market crash. It is unknown whether it did, or didn't, or to what extent.

In the intervening years, between 1933 and 1999, many experts in the financial industry voiced concerns that the act was "to harsh", (i.e. to much regulation for the purpose) and hindered opportunities. In 1999, congress (not Bill Clinton) repealed the Glass-Steagall act, and replaced it with the Gramm-Leach-Blilly Act, which allows some investment activities, but not as much as before the Glass-Steagall Act was ratified.

Also, of note: Senator Carter Glass invented the current Federal Reserve System, and had been Secretary of the Treasury. Congressman Steagall was chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee.

Decided to watch this guy's video for a differing opinion on the Detroit Bankruptcy. Why was I not surprised that his opinion was "MOAR TAXES AND SPENDING!"? For someone who claims that the problem is much more "complicated," his solution is overtly simple.

Every comment by Wizkid2000 on your Atheism and Libertarianism videos are fails:

"So Stupid. Atheism is the believe there there is no god. The etymology of atheism is no a-theism(without believe in god), it is atheo-ism which means godless belief. How nice you get to claim the default position. "I'm right until you prove me wrong... because I say so!" I know you think the argument from ignorance is more of a guideline but really?" -- from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anP42zvPPRQ

"Wow! this takes me back! It's been years since I watched one of your videos. Still as dogmatic and closed minded as ever I see... God bless you (just an expression), you're at least consistent. I think you do libertarianism a real disservice when you graph your atheism on it. I don't see how anyone could take you seriously." -- from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO2YoTZbUr0

Is there a difference between "without belief in a god" and "godless belief"? Other than linguistic gymnastics, I mean.

He does, probably accidently, have a point about the atheism/libertarianism in as far as one is not necessarily related to the other. Some people might be put off the one because they disagree with the other, so maybe they should be handled on separate videos/topics/forums.

QuoteI think if Zimmerman had it to do all over again, he would probably do it exactly the same way.  He got away with it after all.  And now he's famous and a folk hero amongst a bunch of people who fantasize that they too can kill a teenager that they don't like the looks of.

When the book and film money comes rolling in, and he sues broadcast news to settle for an undisclosed sum, the lesson will be complete:  "Does your life suck?  Are you a loser nobody?  Shoot a kid!  It helps if he's black, but anyone 'scary' will do!"

Oh I don't know...the kind of person that sees that one of those uses force to obtain the money, the other doesn't?

Just a thought.

That would defeat the purpose.

Great, people pushing for more regulations as a knee-jerk response to an event that was unusual to begin with.
