this video's growing popularity caught my eye browsing youtube. it says so much about all of us on the internet. specially useful against all the JIAs/relegion forum user and compulsive debaters on the videogame/comics versus forums {sumthing i was a part of and still am from time to time}. basically its about how personal and involved we get.
i think its important because it also tells us how obsessed we get with what other people think and how much we try to change what they think.{which i think, in and of itself is destructive}

really, barring social impact or the rights of other, why DO we care so much about what other people think?

Because we are social animals or something?

And I don't think it is just a bad thing.

i didnt say care, i said "SO MUCH" more importantly, why do we care so much about people that have nothing to do with us?

Because I'm right and they're ignorant morons who need someone to dictate the proper way to think.

really interesting video. that's really hard to do....
i know that i've been friended by people i don't like on facebook, and i click the "friend" button just because i want to keep track and be all "what are they saying about me to other people?"

........?

and this is why i chopped down my friend list to everyone i actually talk to.

If you cared less (below a critical threshold), about, say, your appearance, you wouldn't be in a need state and nobody could sell you anything.

kinda makes u feel like oppinions are currency and human points of view, stock. i guess the polls are stock indexes then.

My opinion is especially valuable and a guaranteed return on investment, just saying.

You cared enough to tell me you don't care, ergo, you care.

-You're one of those Islamic terr'rist Muslims, so you don't have a pastor.

-Pastor's don't rape choir boys, Catholic Priest do.

I'm of the opinion that you're not being truthful.

i meant the one my terrorist organisation had told me to blow up, i wanted to chat with him before i killed him.

sorry my mistake, the pastor was pounding a catholic priest instead.

would you like your oppinion rolled with dynamite and shoved up your tail pipe with a lit fuse?

Robtard
So angry and sexual.

This is a good opinion, almost as good as Robtard's, almost.

Are you implying that we shouldn't let celebrities make decisions for us?

my heavens no, then we would only be left with politicians to tell us how to feel about things.

A person needs balance

Does anyone else notice the quality of Leon's posts are increasing? (Not what he being disucssed, but the words are more often spelled correctly, English is being used more effectively, etc.)

The newest Firefox (ver 3.0.7) has a built in real-time spell checker, this might be the reason.

My own personal theory, he's being primed by his Imam to go on a Jihad soon, so they're improving his English skills so he can better integrate into a Western country, I thinking the U.K. or possibly the U.S.

more like the "simplicity" of my posts is increasing, making them easier to understand. the spelling mostly had to do with typing too fast. besides, how long have i been on this site? 6 years or more? i had show some growth right?

im actually using a rather outdated internet explorer.

and my english skills are in no need of improvement, you have to understand, that the way i type and the way i talk are vastly different. theres virtually no difference between my pronounciation/accent/comprehension of anglish than any brit/scott/american. if you heard me speak, youd never think "pakistani". dont ask me how, maybe it was being in international schools with embassy kids most of my life, maybe it was too much tv. cant say, i just sound like an american/brit/scott when i speak in each respective accent.

{point being, id have no problem infiltrating your house and killing your family if i wanted big grin . unless i prounounced "house" like a canadian........ gotta work on that}

and if i was ever going to be a terrorist id do it for the MONEY, who gives a **** about jihad

I think the words you're looking for are 'Allahu Akbar' and then you hit the switch.

You're such an infidel. You definitely have to throw in a "Praise be to Allah." Seriously. I saw it in that movie "The Kingdom."

leonheartmm
actually its allah hu akbar. meaning, god is great.

Robtard
I thought it was three words, as making "God is" one word didn't make sense, ****ing Google lied to me.

See though, you've been primed to blow, only a matter of time, ter'rist.

leonheartmm
primed to blow, sounds like a porno!

There are about 1.8 billion 'Islams' on the planet, so I'm just one infidel in about 4.9 billion, sadly, I still "feel ronery, so ronery."
