He did a great job. Most of the debunked falsehoods, I already knew.
I didn't know that thing about infant mortality.
One issue he glosses over is the cost of healthcare in the US. He tried to quickly jump over addressing this topic but he can't.

It's funny how the attitude to how great/terrible America is seems to depend entirely on whether the person lauding/criticising the country supports/opposes the standing government.I'm sure the same people who are currently saying America is great were saying it was terrible when Obama was president and vice versa.
Think I'll subscribe to that channel. It's entertaining.
I think both sides do it, but it's different as to how they go about it. Conservatives talked shit about America as it was under Obama. Leftists will indeed bash America as it is under Trump, but they will also just go after America in general. You won't see conservative media outlets putting out articles a day or two before the 4th of July about how the American Revolution was a mistake(Vox did this)
So in the specific by the NYT video being debunked in the video I provided they use misleading stats to bash America and also lie in order to bash America(claiming we are #1 in mass shootings).
NYT is also the same place that felt it necessary to talk about how russia won the "space race for equality" on the anniversary of the moon landing. And they also felt it necessary to tweet this:
"The Apollo program was designed by men, for men. If we do not acknowledge the gender bias of the early space program, it becomes difficult to move past it."
That's just bizarre lol.
Yes freedom toons is great. Here is another funny video, this one is under 4 minutes long.
So the other day there was a video showing people pouring buckets of water on multiple NYPD officers lol. They are lucky the cops didn't kick the shit out of them, but the good news is at least one person involved has been arrested:
Play stupid games, get stupid prizes.
Lol.
“If you respect the climate emergency, you will go around,” one activist told a group of people trying to get through to the other side.
“I guess not,” a second activist replied after the crowd passed under their arms."
LMFAO!

Nope, that's not true, jaden. You can still love your country while hating or being extremely suspicious of the government. The government runs the country, it is not the country itself.
I still loved my country even when the joke Obama was president and I remember plenty of snowflake lefties continually bashing America, it's founding, and the founders even when Obama was president. They were always saying they hated America for reasons like "the land was stolen from the poor native americans", blah, blah, blah.

I'm aware it doesn't apply to everyone. People would be better off acknowledging the good and the bad of any country, particularly their own.

Since there is very little functional difference between Trump and Obama, not sure why you hated it when Obama was in office but are happier now that Trump is in office. Trump literally picked up right where Obama left off on some of this initiatives.
You know what the difference is? Trump is rude, crude, and crass. He has a certain appeal to a certain type of person.

Definitely a comparative scale I agree with. Part 2 had some good stuff and is worth a read if you liked part 1.Yes to all of this. They had to create as much filler as possible: lots of high-up interference from producers because of the fan-following. It was a cash cow. View the situation as a lite-version of the new Star Wars Trilogy - all bullshitted in a committee just to make as much money as possible but the original story telling, vision, and color is pretty much absent.
Did enjoy that one. Felt like it fell off the rails about 80% of the way in and got back on at the last 10%. I think the writer was getting fatigued but got his second wind towards the end.
Also, we should talk more about this stuff instead of the batshit crazies.
I can tell SquallX he's being a douche and he doesn't have a meltdown, creates a movement, and gets the laws changed such that calling someone a douche is now considered incitement and hate speech and uttering gets you fined or arrested. What happened to teaching your kids that the world is full of assholes and you should learn how to deal with immature name-calling like an adult? Why do people who complain about being offended get so much power? Let's just stop giving it to them...you douches. 🙂
You like Transformers?
Because I just discovered the best mirror universe character ever.
Ravage the lolcat speaking microblogger otaku (Or asian. Transformers did originally come from Japan.)
Might be the beginning of the end for Starbucks:
Hard to make a profit if people are filling seats without buying anything.

They Super Saturated the market with their chains in many locations. That model is not sustainable. Just ask McDonalds and Subway.
They could greatly improve their stores by having an ingress area with kiosk ordering.

To many people love their overpriced and subpar coffee, can't see Starbucks dying out unless another competitor(s) does it.
