I managed to find a more complete version of this video, but it seems like there is even more to it, as it just fades off and ends while the narrator is still talking.  Undecided

It's the beekeepers dream, turn a tap right on your beehive and watch pure fresh honey flow right out of your FLOWhive and into your Jar! No mess no fuss and the bees are hardly disturbed.
I'm no beekeeper, but I'm very keen on getting myself one of these, now! Cool

I've always liked Wolverine.  Cool

Steve Rogers: Big man in a suit of armour. Take that off, what are you?

Tony Stark: Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.


Biggest Iron Man Fan on earth!
I collect everything related to Iron Man.
Check out my collection:

HOLY SHIT! That's quite the collection! It's obviously worth a small fortune.

Did you cast or paint any of those yourself, or did you buy them all 'as is'?

Are any of them playable, toy action figures, mounted on stands, or are they all statues?

What's the card you have mounted between Thor and Ironman in the photo below? Do you play MTG?

Ok, here's one relevant to the comment I just made.

Wait, that's wasn't a joke. Ok, here's one.

As funny as I think that one was, it somehow doesn't feel complete.

Ok, one last one. This one is good for small children.  Smiley

This joke is best if you finish it off with a real good tickle session.  Cheesy

There are 100's of meaningless threads on BCT. Why does the 'fabiola!' thread or the 'scientific proof of god' thread exist? IMO, this thread is best one in all of BCT! Of course it has prevailed!  Cool

Maybe if you could actually find yourself a woman who had a little respect for you, you wouldn't have to get it on with a bunch of pictures.

Thanks for posting, I hadn't seen that. Sorry that my picless thread can't compete with a gazillion pics of hot Asian girls, but hey OYO has been here lots of times, must be something interesting about this thread that keeps him coming back Smiley

Your ideas what a god is, is wrong. When you come back with fairy tale points, you have no argument.

I am God. I know I am God because there is no other answer. The ideas of god have always been made up by man and nothing else. I would find it much more entertaining to believe in Harry Potter than a god, according to the man made stories, who has killed so many for all the wrong reasons. If you read the bible, you should worship the light bringer, aka Lucifer--the only one that has any sense.

Science can never prove the existence of something that never existed. If the thing some people consider god would just come forward there would be no confusion. Until then, stop believing in fairytales.

Simply put, we are all god, good=god.

Seems common in France for them to have sex with ppl other than their spouses. They think it's silly to let sex ruin a perfectly good marriage and that if you want to fuck someone then of course you should experience that joy. Spouses just don't discuss it between each other since it doesn't add to the romance of their marriage. They think it's in bad taste to mention it and will look down on you for being so foolish to tell them about it.

If there is no victim, there is no crime. As long as all parties concerned consent to having an open relationship (and practice safe sex) there is no problem. The only real problem here is how other parties stick their noses where it doesn't belong, trying to enforce their own beliefs and values upon those who don't share the same.
874  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Man gets life in prison for selling $20 worth of weed to undercover cop on: March 02, 2015, 09:07:02 PM

Who the hell would think this is an ok sentence or the right thing to do?


Obviously some people think it's ok, laws are made by man you know  Tongue

All I'm saying is it doesn't matter how trivial you think your crime is, you just can't live the way you want while expecting life to go easy on you. The minute you do something, anything, you no longer have a say or choice, your past/reality already contains that action and any series of events unfolding from that point in time is completely independent of your plans or your idea of fairness. It's about taking full responsibility for everything you do. You can't for instance go to buy weed while ruling out the possibility that you might get shot. It doesn't matter that chances you get shot are less than 0.001%.

Any action is a testament to one's acceptance of the myriad of possible timelines stemming from that point.

Humans seem to have lost this primordial synchronicity with themselves. They do whatever they please but then are filled with regret or are shocked by the consequences of their actions.

Laws aren't made by regular people or their peers, they are made by a very select (often very well off) group.

I'm sure you've heard the expression, "Let the punishment fit the crime." A trivial crime deserves nothing more than a trivial punishment. This IS what is expected. Going by your logic, "taking full responsibility", you should also get a life sentence for collecting rain water illegally, if it's your third strike.

Getting shot has nothing to do with this. You can get shot by a stray bullet, while sitting in your own living room. Just stepping out your front door is an invitation for any number of possibilities to occur. Still this does not justify any injustices that may be made against you.

While I agree that many people have lost touch with reality, I can't help but feel your own post is evidence of this. The OP is about a victimless crime for which there should be no other consequence other than a 'thank you' from the buyer. Any other consequence is completely unrelated except through unjust laws, made by self-righteous elitist douchbags acting as though they are doing a public service, for the purpose of stealing more tax dollars from the poor (middle class) to feed the artificially bloated criminal justice system. In Common Law, there must be a victim for there to be a crime made. The only victim here is the poor guy in the OP.

I'll have to agree on the school part, still I don't see free public education as corrupt by money. At least not in most countries. 

There are things in the history of a country that's sometimes not taught in school, it's not even in their curriculum. You don't learn about false-flag operations in history classes, at least not to a large degree. And you don't learn too much about geopolitics. You're also not very encouraged to ask questions, even if that means questioning authority.

There are a lot of things in society that most people in general do not like to talk about, and that's often reflected in the curriculum. So you could say many teachers are not corrupted, but the reason the curriculum is twisted a certain way, means that there are interests that make it that way.

However, it's not healthy obsessing too much about all the bad things, then a man could go insane! So getting outside and moving the body is not a bad idea! When you feel better, then the world also feels like a better place.

And while a single man cannot change the world, you can do whatever you can to make it non-corrupted.

I can't help but feel powerless in making any kind of positive difference in my own community, hence my own government, much less the world. Like the popular saying goes - "Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner."

I agree it isn't healthy obsessing about it and at times I do feel like I'm the only sane person (although I know there are others like me) in this insane world, the revelation of which thereby ironically driving me insane in the process. Yet, not thinking and talking about it is equally unappealing to me, like sticking your head in the sand, even though I'm absolutely convinced of its futility. Human nature is what it is and we did not get here by accident. No amount of walking is ever going to change that or somehow make the world feel like a better place to me.

I used to vehemently disagree with a quotation I believe is attributed to Marcus Aurelius, "The world is as it should be.", since a) that's exactly what an elitist would say and b) it is my belief that if we wanted to we could make the world a better place. It was much later when I realized the truth of it. The world is exactly the way we've allowed it to become, whether it be through action or inaction, and it will never change because this is human nature. This sentiment is best described by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in 'The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956' (1973) - If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?

If you want to help the less fortunate, start in your own neighborhood by donating your time, skills and effort, not money. The reason being, the corporate mindset co-opts most charities into becoming profit motivated, lining the pockets of CEOs and doing very little towards solving the problems they were originally created to solve, lest they go out of business.
879  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Corruption Rant on: March 02, 2015, 01:40:35 AM
I agree 100% with OP. However, I believe this thread is better suited in the Politics & Society section.


How are activists corrupt? Ok I get that some of them have financial motives, but all of them? There are people protesting about Simpsons shows on TV being rescheduled, how are those corrupt?

I don't see why schools could be corrupt too.

I can't think of many things being as free from corruption as schools. There are not many reasons someone paid by the state to teach children would be corrupt bec ause of money... What would the reason behind that be really?

Encouraging people to protest 'The Simpsons being rescheduled' as opposed to real corruption in government is corruption at its best, by distracting people from meaningful pursuits.

The corporate mindset co-opts most activist groups and charities into becoming profit motivated, lining the pockets of CEOs and doing very little towards solving the problems they were originally created to solve, lest they go out of business.

Schools are all about conditioning, not education. They produce "good workers" incapable of critical thinking. Memorization is the key to graduation. Creative thinking is discouraged. Teachers are powerless to really help their students since they do not make policy. John Taylor Gatto wrote a great book on this subject called 'The Underground History of American Education'.

I think drones will become a big problem in the future. The terrorists could plan t a bomb on them ,and control and manipulate it remotely, to detonate almost anywhere sitting far away.
