My right ear really enjoyed this video. Also, the original video that he's talking about would go in Fail quotes.

Fail for the autofocus as well.

APPLAUSE!!!

about time I see this!

[yt]IQu8ShbLMWY[/yt]

I found this one speech lately by an Imam, which I figured I'd share part of: it is done with a clear Islamic (specifically sunni sect) Slant, So some of the particulars you guys may not agree with, but hey, calling out rulers openly in Saudi Arabia is an act of bravery in the Arab world. And he's equal opportunity: Sunni, Shi'ite, non Muslim governments, all are targets of his (just) abuse:

starting @ 6:47 (it ends two or three minutes later. the whole speech is critical of the government, but I selected the parts that I feel would strongly resonate here):

[spoiler]
Quote" The ruler who is unjust to his people--the unjust ruler who treats his people as if they were a collection of ewes or a herd of sheep--is overjoyed if he sees a hundred or two hundred people--men and women--forming a line to receive their daily bread! he is overjoyed with this! divert them with their food, their drink, the slightest morsel for their life, while you sit in luxury, in your wantonness and blessings and luxuriousness! that is one of the reasons countries fall! One of the greatest reasons rulers fall--those who transgress against their people in their lives and make things difficult for them.

The Prophet peace be upon him, once presided over a prayer of his companions,  and it was his habit to sit amongst his friends Afterwards. All of a sudden he rises up and leaves in haste, then he returned to them, having gone to his home and returned, his companions asked: "what sent you hurrying oh messenger of God?" so the Prophet PBUH said: "I remembered a speck of Gold we had at home." A piece of Gold!  "to give to charity: I remembered it, so I grew fearful that your company would divert me." yes--he rose, went to his home, had it given in charity, and returned to his companions. a speck of Gold in his house. No god but God! then what would the Prophet Peace be Upon him say, If he saw the vaults of ibn Ali, filled with Gold; Hundreds of Kilograms of Gold? what would he have said? what would he have said if he had entered on Qaddafi's house, and saw the guilded bed of his? what would he have said, if he knew of Hosni Mubarak's wealth? of of other rulers, like Ali Saleh and other such?! What would he say PBUH? knowing that for a speck of Gold he'd rush to give to charity? All those "rulers"--all of them who are now in the dust bin of history--look at all the money they collected. "I remembered a speck of Gold."!

By God if the Prophet had seen something like this, and seen the Muslim World today, he would have seen something great. "This is his community? These are its rulers?"
[/spoiler]

he goes on to compare the countries of today to The 3 stage model of state development by Ibn Khaldun (which resembles Stefan Molyneux's model of governments and states grow), and says they are in the third stage, where waste and corruption take hold.

yes, he was arrested. No, he hasn't stopped talking in such a manner about Governments in the Arab world.

EDIT: was going to add something, but for some reason the video disappeared.I have replaced it: same video, same url, so same top comments.
Meh

I know it's in Arabic, and it is done with a clear Islamic (specifically sunni sect, Hanbali jurisprudence) Slant, So some of the particulars you guys may not agree with, but hey, calling out rulers openly in Saudi Arabia is an act of bravery in the Arab world. And he's equal opportunity: Sunni, Shi'ite, non Muslim, all are targets of his (just) abuse:

Can you translate the two top rated comments, because 1. most of us can't read arabic and 2. google translator suck balls. I would appreciate it greatly. :)

sure:

Quote from: by abdul namiBy God my admiration for you has grown, after I had once not loved you. I was unjust in suspecting you regarding your dedication and loyalty to God's faith, but by God I was lowly* in doing so Oh Lion of the pulpits, and God grant you good...Now by God I fear you'll seek justice from me on judgement day for my injustice to you.


*can also mean "degraded"

Quote from: kamal abdoa Lion by God, a Lion, God grant you long life and Lord protect you oh sheikh

In the comment section of this win video:

There was a bit of an exchange.  One part fail, one part epic win.  Win in blue, fail in red as per usual:

Timothy McGuire:  "So would you throw out the laws then? Some people are really selfish or sociopaths or greedy. How would you deal with someone who is homicidal without a government. The pot laws are ridiculous but the ones against murder not so much. "

Ganga Din:  "You mean like the ones in Chicago where half the murders go unresolved? Or Detroit where police take on average 58 minutes to respond to a 911 call if someone is about to kill you? Or like Washington state where police tell the victim to politely ask the attacker to leave if he manages to break her door in to assault her, rape her and kill her, because the dispatch have noone to send to aid her? Yeah. No worries though, the dispatch got her name and address written down. So it is all good."

And of course, Shane's response to le fail was sweet too:

Shane: "'Some people are really selfish or sociopaths or greedy.'
Yes, and they usually end up in government.
'How would you deal with someone who is homicidal without a government.'
Not let them in government where they can be homicidal in other countries like Obama's trying to be, for a start.
Also, you're acting as if people are helpless and can't protect themselves. It works when our money is taken by gunpoint, but not when paid voluntarily to private police. Cult of the Omnipotent State."

Love it when Thunderf00t is on his game. :)

I post this because it reminds me of a fail article from Cracked's David Wong (I will post it in fail quotes) about this same topic.

In my experience, people who would wear a Tesla shirt (and the people on the internet that worship him), are just as clueless as the Che folk. At least Tesla was not a tyrannical scumbag, but that's besides the point.
