I admittedly have not studied up on Ahmad... but I do understand the prejudice that exists in Iran.

In reply to this comment by deedub81:
You bring up some good points, but I learned about leaders in the Middle East denying the holocaust a long time ago. It wasn't propaganda, I heard it straight from the horses mouth in speeches and such.

My good friend Sadiq Husseinzada has text books from Pakistan and from Iran. He grew up in Pakistan. I don't read Farsi so I'm taking his word for it, but he told me that they teach that the Holocaust is a debatable event.

The fact that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is an Anti-Semite is not in question, nor is the fact that he's kinda cooky. That being said, I don't think we should EVER go into a country to prevent something from happening. That's like arresting somebody that expresses hatred toward 7-11 because you thought they might someday rob one.

^Even if that were true, it wouldn't make the mass murder of Iranians any less of a holocaust.

The 'wipe Israel off the face of the map' canard this is pure propaganda.

I'm going to check on the text book thing and get back to you. Just keep in mind that there is a major propaganda campaign underway to dehumanize Iran and justify an attack. I'd suggest you be more skeptical about government/corporate media claims about Iran.

Reality check. Did you fall for WMD's and yellow cake?

Regardless, as a government organization it ultimately rolls up to the same Commander in Chief.

Well yes, fired. He had an agenda and was fishing for something to proove a point, which obviosly failed because the guy he was interviewing was way smarter than he expected.



In reply to this comment by deedub81:
Fired?

He did the job of a great interviewer: We know exactly how the interviewee feels about his candidate and why he feels that way.
He was able to get specific answers without making the interviewee react negatively to his questions.

awsome voter
if the interviwer does this for a living he should be fired

The individual interviewed quickly moved the subject to health care, which he had obviously spent time thinking about and discussing with others. All the questions from there on are along the same line of inquiry. His answers walk the interviewer through only so far, leading into other questions the interviewer may choose to ask on the same subject. The interviewer tries to be aggressive, but, if you watch it again, he's very early on led into an area where this kid knows his stuff.

In reply to this comment by deedub81:
Interviewer fell right into his hands?

The interviewer was the one dictating where the conversation went. His questions got more and more specific until he got the answers he was looking for. He did the job of a great interviewer: We know exactly how the interviewee feels about his candidate and why he feels that way.

has a pretty good handle on current policy. interviewer fell right into his hands.

I never understood how Sen. Clinton would enforce a mandatory universal healthcare system. Anybody have info about this? (... fining people who don't buy into it? jail time if they don't pay those fines? seems like libertarians would crap their pants about this.)

Oh, I see. For now, as tentative as both rights feel, I think they can be. Again, we were talking about wiretaps and he kicked in guns, and I was trying to thread them together while keeping on the fourth amendment topic. Sorry for sounding convoluted. You should hear me in real life when I don't have the benefit of a backspace key!

In reply to this comment by deedub81:
It sounded like you were saying that you couldn't have the fourth amendment and the second amendment existing in harmony at the same time. That's what I don't get.

The video was about Wiretapping, which is a fourth ammendment issue. Redsky brought up guns, which is a second amendment issue. If he wished discuss the two together then you have to combine the right to own weapons and the right to privacy, that's why I came up with the government making warantless searches your home for guns. Admittedly, a flimsy reach, but most of my thinking is like that

In reply to this comment by deedub81:
I don't get it. Why would the government search everyone's homes?

In reply to this comment by schmawy:
Redsky-

I think there are other threads that cover the second amendment issue of the right to keep and bear arms, and I'll keep out of those because a friend of mine labeled me a "black powder liberal" on that issue.

This is a fourth amendment issue which of course states "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures..."

If you'd wish to mix the two, applying FISA and Wiretapping to gun control, you'd get something like the following scenario: The government having the right to enter EVERYONES home, without your knowledge and without court permission, to search for firearms. Would this be acceptable to you?

Yeah, I'm just really relieved that I wasn't the only one that believed that video didn't belong on the Sift.

Oh my god, YES. It's so much fun to troll people that deserve it once in a while (I'm a bad person).

In reply to this comment by deedub81:
Butthurt is my second favorite thing to say to someone when they're butthurt. Few sentences will piss a man off more than he already is than: "Don't get all butthurt."


In reply to this comment by JAPR:
If you'd stop being so butthurt about things, maybe you'd realize I was talking about you claiming to not understand why people downvoted. How many times must I hit you before you behave?

Also, relevant: http://www.videosift.com/video/911-The-explosive-reality#comment-289485
As you can see, there's a very good reason people downvote things like this: they're crap.
