I got a free game (my choosing based on systems you own) for the 'winner' of this thread. Who wins this thread? Well, I'm giving away the game, so that means I get to be the judge, too.

Here's the contest:
1) I'm going to state a current, relevant political topic for debate
2) You're going to think of your position on this issue
3) You have to make your political point using only YouTube videos
4) You are not allowed to put anything in your post other than YouTube videos. People who do so will be disqualified
5) Be very careful when you quote other people's posts, because multi-layered YT clips tend to fuck up the threads on CAG
6) Any memes (rick rolls, 'best cry evers', etc.) will be disqualified

TOPIC: HOW TO REDUCE THE DEFICIT AND ENCOURAGE GROWTH IN EMPLOYMENT
 
Did this grow out of this:

Chubo, I'm not the one who tried to make thrustbucket's point. I'm not the one who lazily typed a few keywords into YouTube, copied and pasted the first few links I could find, and then sat back, satisfied with my "research." So don't you dare tell me it's my responsibility to do the heavy lifting of someone who thinks three youtube clips = adult-level political discourse.

So when's the "gotcha" moment coming? Or is this heavy empirical research?
 
I'm having fun, here. Some of y'all think that dipping your toes into a search engine (esp. google or youtube) qualifies you as experts on whatever we're discussing. Citing without scrutinizing.

So let's embellish that idiocy tenfold. This is for my pure amusement.

Way to violate rule #4. Not even one video and someone is disqualified already.

I have a comment, if it won't disqualify me: These are just the top three search results for a Google Video search for: "HOW TO REDUCE THE DEFICIT AND ENCOURAGE GROWTH IN EMPLOYMENT". Because clearly discourse is impossible using videos alone (though that may have been your point) but I want me some free games.

If the above will disqualify me, pretend I didn't write it.
