Re: The Magic School Bus

The problem with that though is that a book detailing Newtonian laws of gravity is not going to make a 6 year old child want to care about or get involved with science. Ultimately the show's purpose was to entertain and educate kids while introducing them to science... whether or not they accomplish...

The Magic School Bus

When this show popped up on IMDB, it got me to thinking as to how you could introduce kids to science. The show was very simplistic with its view on science and a lot of was scientific opinion, or was just plain outright wrong. I think the barrier here was the demographic - they had to design very b...

Re: Cops

We don't seem to have that problem. Just increase taxes on the wealthy, get a single-pay health-care system and reform your retarded justice system and you will be able to afford these things and much more as well. How is that going to make it so that we have two cops for every suspect and case? In...

Re: Cops

I knew this topic would escalate like this the second Suture Self posted.

I honestly don't agree with either side on a number of things, but given how the both of them act, I can't be ass to really bother responding.

Re: Cops

I'm Canadian and I can assure you that in areas such as Newfoundland where we have A LOT of guns, crime doesn't happen all that often. When it does, it's usually not because of guns. Blaming the crime rate in America on guns seems rather silly here, especially when a lot of crimes in "Cops"...

Re: Cops

it is actually well within a cop's power to not enforce the law: stop being a cop. It is actually within the power of a garbage man to not pick up your garbage every morning: stop being a garbage man I don't think the agenda of Cops is to get you to watch white cops chasing black criminals specific...

Re: Cops

I do agree that the show is heavily edited for the purpose of being on TV and they are selective on what they want to show(especially since a lot of it are non-violent crimes), but where's your proof that the show has a racist agenda against blacks? The reality is that there's a staggeringly large a...

Re: "Sicario"

When it comes to usage, in most cases where legalization has happened drug usage has actually decreased. I haven't heard of any situation where decriminalization had lead to an increase. Granted I suppose the demographics and scale of somewhere like Portugal is much different than it is in America o...

Cops

I know I'm going to probably start some shit with this, but... What's with the negative reviews of the show? And I don't mean negative in the sense of "this show sucks," but negative in the sense that there are people here seem to think that cops are authoritative tyrants or something. For...

Re: The Good Will Video Challenge

Damn, for someone who makes a lot of videos, you sure don't get a lot of views. I actually feel a bit guilty when I look at brickwall's channel. I have (so far) posted a single video on Youtube. It was back in early 2006, has horrible, grainy quality, and wasn't even mine. I reposted it from somewh...
