Are hippies really this retarded?

The mods hate me. I took too long to ship some stuff, then got it shipped, and they still refuse to take away the TTO.

That's irrelevant to the subject at hand, however. DIE HIPPY DIE!

Strike One: they say economic growth is bad. Strike Two: trying to put farmers out of business. That kills multiple industries. Strike Three: the asshole at the end with the "where are the jobs" sign. YOU'RE OUTTA HERE![/QUOTE]

1.) Unsustainable economic growth leads to "bubbles" and minor collapses. For proof see 1998-2011
2.) They want small farmers to flourish with fresh local produce as opposed to buying all your beans from Jolly Green Giant.
3.) Fair point, but where the fuck are the jobs? Why is our economy in the shitter when the DJIA is already back to 85-90% of its highest ever close? Doesn't that mean the economy is doing better? More wealth is being invested, so where are the jobs?

They all have merit, they're just going about it in the wrong way, well except for that one kid thinking we need to leave the planet and watch it grow a new transcendant species. He's spot on!
 
[quote name='dabamus']So what are you trying to say then?[/QUOTE]

Nothing, really. I guess that means my UncleBob impression is getting better than I thought.
 
Eight replies to the thread thus far and NONE of them have stated how 'offended' they are about the use of the word retarded in the title?

I'm shocked. The PC police are really slacking.
 
I am offended by the use of the word "hippies" in the title. These kids are not hippies, unless they do not age, because hippies were a youth movement back in the 60s (it offends be because my father was part of that movement and he's not dumb by any stretch of the imagination). But yes, these non hippie kids are so fucking stupid it's unbelievable and down right funny. They seriously have no clue how anything works, I have noticed though that weed makes you feel philosophical and they may feel there's a connection to what they are spewing.

They said growth, not unsustainable growth, that's like saying eating is bad because over eating makes you fat.
Anyways even with bubbles there is still a net growth.

The people in the video appeared rather uneducated about the subjects they where talking about, but as the goal of the video is the smear them it is likely that only the most ignorant comments where shown, so to use only the video to judge the whole group by may lead to a drastic misrepresentation of their intelligence.

This is probably extremely wrong but...

if that crosses a line due to the source, feel free to mod/delete

Sure, there's a net gain when a bubble collapses but it's always strictly with the investing class. I'm giving the stupid kid the benefit of the doubt in saying that "growth is bad" actually means unsustainable growth since that is indeed bad. Some of them probably have good ideas, but this is the cream of the crop of the dumb kids (other than that one really hot girl with the curly hair and glasses). It's kind of like video from Tea Party rallies, mostly you see the morans but there's bound to be at least 5 people in the whole movement who make sense when they speak and aren't as nuts as the rest of 'em.

The PC police, they live inside of your head.
 
Frankly, I've watched the video twice, and I fail to see the problem.

It's a bunch of kids spouting a bunch of old and (in most cases tired) slogans. The links to Mao's "Cultural Revolution" were funny, mostly because it's such an incredibly ignorant comparison.

The most telling statement comes at the beginning of the video blaming "green industry front groups". It's a pathetic strawman attempting to discredit the kids by linking them to a bogeyman that frankly does not exist.

Seriously. Name me one corporation/group involved in propagating "Green Energy" that has as much influence as the groups on this list:

1 Wal-Mart Stores 378,799.0 12,731.0
2 Exxon Mobil 372,824.0 40,610.0
3 Chevron 210,783.0 18,688.0
4 General Motors 182,347.0 -38,732.0
5 ConocoPhillips 178,558.0 11,891.0
6 General Electric 176,656.0 22,208.0
7 Ford Motor 172,468.0 -2,723.0
8 Citigroup 159,229.0 3,617.0
9 Bank of America Corp. 119,190.0 14,982.0
10 AT&T 118,928.0 11,951.0
11 Berkshire Hathaway 118,245.0 13,213.0
12 J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. 116,353.0 15,365.0
13 American International Group 110,064.0 6,200.0
14 Hewlett-Packard 104,286.0 7,264.0
15 International Business Machines 98,786.0 10,418.0
16 Valero Energy 96,758.0 5,234.0
17 Verizon Communications 93,775.0 5,521.0
18 McKesson 93,574.0 913.0
19 Cardinal Health 88,363.9 1,931.1
20 Goldman Sachs Group 87,968.0 11,599.0

Top 20 of the fortune 500, listed by revenues and profits. Once you exclude the tech companies, banks, and health care providers (a whole 'nother argument) you have energy and automotive companies - and certainly not green ones. Hell, numbers two through seven alone have a vested interest in making sure we all use as much energy as possible. The odd man out - retailer Wal-Mart - is also not terribly interested in making us green.

So who is it? Who are the "Green Companies" trying to destroy our lives with their horrible horrible conservationist agenda?
 
it's the Sierra Club you knucklehead! They have all the power and once we start trading carbon credits (really, you want to create a subeconomy in pollution? Al Gore you are a fuckwit of the highest order) the Sierra Club will become the NWO and Hollywood Hulk Hogan will not be allowed to spray paint the belt this time.
 
Just got off the phone with the PC police.

They said they'd investigate this thread when the people complaining about them, quote, "Balled the fuck up and stopped being such whiney pussies."
 
[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']Not really. I evicted them for non payment of rent they owed.;)[/QUOTE]
I'm sure they were sick of the cobwebs and cockroaches in there anyway.;)

I forwarded their comment to the WLF, Womyn's Liberation Front, and they will be looking into this shocking use of the term "pussies".
 
I once had a woman tell me, "You know, I don't normally like the word 'cunt', but for some reason, it seems alright when you use it."
 
I don't know.

But I do know that both the North American Star League and the IGN Pro League are playing tonight in an hour or so. Kiwikaki's got a best of three right away, and NaDa plays later tonight in the NASL, too. Should be some good Starcraft.
 
I see that the left finally realized how to produce smear videos that weren't done by Soros!

EDIT: what was the guy bitching about the right using force to remove him? What about all the lefties that assault people in regards to stuff like SB5 in Ohio? The guy was polite but firm in removing the guy. Not like the idiots from SEIU that went after some Ohio congressmen in Columbus and started cussing them out in a public resteraunt and pushing past the manager when asked to leave.

Meh - there will always be a fraction of politicians of all stripes who use force to quash dissent or unruly behavior. I'm not going to dive into the minutia of each case because frankly I don't see it as a huge problem in modern America (plutocracies tend to be more sneaky then that)

Back to the OP, even as a smear video your video is a total fail. Not only is it boring, it's mired in the same old 1950 red scare FUD.

On a side note, ever notice how inept conservatives politicos are when it comes to humor? I have my theories why...
