That would have been much better if it were in a building with fire alarms and sprinklers.

Nice! When you come by in your lds white cotton dress, I'll turn on the sprinkler! You don't need Michael Cera's hose!

I cleaned up my multiple rants. So sorry for the wall of text.

It's because of guys like the one in the video that I laugh when people are they're Libertarian. I think they're overall idea is nice and dandy, but much like steadfast religious people who don't actually know their theology and how it would actually play out in reality, this guy contradicts himself by the end.

Especially his private defense agencies . . . except, ALL of those solutions are paid for by the government OR by private agencies to take away the liberties from those whom they see as their subjects. But then again, the initiation of force is immoral . . . so any defense agency is immoral, whether it's government funded or not.

And you don't need a fire department because private companies make fire sprinklers? Except, the reason fire sprinklers are everywhere now is because the government forced builders to use them after the free market allowed cities to burn down and hundreds if not thousands to die because of their lack of use. Yes, private companies solve all social issues . . .

Wait?? Did he really just say the original Robber Baron's lowered prices to be "competitive" and drive each other out of the market?? Wow . . . They lowered prices to put others out of business by raising prices where they already had a monopoly. It wasn't competitive at all. It was a monopoly so they could game the system and raise prices afterwards. There was no competition whatsoever. It was who could butter the hands of the Prices and Kings to get the most lucrative exclusive deal which eventually led to those countries rebelling by forcibly taking over those oils companies and nationalizing. Those stories are EXACTLY why the US has Anti-Trust laws . . .

And for the record, Steve Jobs was ousted from Apple because he spent too much money trying to make the US factories pretty on the inside and never wanted to move to China. It was a board of directors decision and overall, Apple hasn't been the worse offender overseas. It's not the greatest record, but hell, it's not the Wal-Mart suppliers that LOCKED their workers in a unsafe building they knew would catch on fire or crumble. Or both. But hey, free market baby!

WTF, Government FORCED business owners to segregate? Or could it simply be the RACISTS that refused to serve "coloreds" and their white politicians who had lucrative deals by being in government, so to get elected they passed laws against blacks.

And public education is responsible for racism? So these rich white people who NEVER went to public school were racists because of public education . . . . Holy shit this guy is a loon.

Just because the school is funded by the government doesn't mean the people teaching there aren't racists, or the society itself is racist. Or that there were MANY whites who were against racism and who fought alongside blacks to end racism and to give equal access, without ANY financial incentive whatsoever. Matter of fact, many people SUFFERED financially for standing up for the rights of others.

While Sprinkler Girl I was willing to give the benefit of doubt...

...this is pr0n.









Not that there's anything wrong with that.

if you didn't see irreversible at an actual cinema, on a big screen, you mostly wasted your time.

the whole movie is shot in a sickening, nauseating way, with the camera twisting and turning all the time... punctured by extreme acts of violence. on the big screen, it is actually physically overwhelming.

the movie is told backwards, which makes the ending all the more hideous.

the closing shot of the film is a slow zoom out from a rotating sprinkler, as the happy couple lounges about in the summer sun... the camera starts rotating with the sprinkler as a strobe effect gets more and more intense. seeing it on the big screen, it was repulsive -- i nearly barfed.

i think this movie is incredible (and utterly depressing), but people's reactions to it really worry me. a powerful message is completely lost on these idiots.

This video, or one like it was sifted about 5 years ago to much fanfare and many votes....Fast-forward to the now, and animal cruelty comments....The world is either becoming a kinder, gentler, peaceful place or worse, people are more concerned about the well-being of a resilient, mite-infested tree-rat (able to absorb shocks like a fall from great heights, hello??) than that of the human race being fist-fucked by a small minority of the same...Maybe this one's more you speed:

Kinna cruel but I'm guessing the squirrels' no worse for the wear and they do invariably, come back for more. Personally, I prefer this one:

and the water-sprinkler squirrel thingy, which I can't find here.

This is what happens when you water your trees with your sprinkler system, despite the rain comment in the video.

If the tree you plant is going to grow this big, you should really ensure that you water it enough for it to live, but also not so much that its roots don't have to "dig deep" to get moist soil.

Sad that the news broadcast didn't use that opportunity to inform their watchers that didn't know that.

Regarding those sprinklers - a common misrepresentation in film is that they all go off together, or go off when triggered by a fire alarm.
Each individual sprinkler head (typically) contains a small liquid-filled glass bulb that holds the valve shut. When that bulb breaks (by the heat of a fire, or by a foolish hotel guest attempting to hang clothes from it), the valve opens and water pours out until the water supply is turned off at a distant main. As such, each sprinkler head acts independently.
