"Dude Perfect" World's longest basketball shot
I'm willing to say it seems real. The angle from the basketball hoop is more convincing, imo.
I'd say it's real. As long as your willing to take the time to tape several attempts this is easily possible. Heck, kids in grade 7&8 don't need very many tries to hit a half court shot or two(as in if they try for 30 minutes they'll probably sink more than one).

Scientology Rep. Can't Handle the Heat On Xenu, Storms Out
Christianity could learn a lot from Scientology. They don't even have levels! I'd imagine it simplifies the holier than thou arguments if you can point to a certificate.
Go the other way and convert RPG's into religions. Then everybody tired of leveling up their virtual avatars can do it in real life instead.

Not to pacify it, but to feed and profit from it in some manner.
This isn't ENTERTAINMENT; if you want that, go to the local theater.
Nor is it Education, if you want that, go to the local Library or University.
FYI, the Congress is supposed to regulate our money supply, not a PRIVATE (bank owned) organisation called the "Federal" Reserve.
No, Congress actually agreed in 1913 that the Federal Reserve IS supposed to regulate your money(if your an American, anyways). You may not like that, but maybe you should educate yourself a little bit on basic economics and financial policy before leaping to the conclusion that some nutty far out conspiracy video has all the answers that've been missed by the last several generations of economists.
Scientology Rep. Can't Handle the Heat On Xenu, Storms Out
So, what's the deal? If you are asked about something and it is wrong, wouldn't you just say "no actually, we don't believe in that."
The problem is the scam requires that fully brainwashed recruits believe the xenu story, so it can't be publicly denied. Neither can it be publicly admitted though, or else nobody would sign up in the first place. As a result, the cult's best response is to act indignant and refuse to answer.
And yes, Xenu is part of Scientology's doctrine as one of the tools they use to attack anyone talking about Xenu is that the copyright to the papers belong to the 'church' and distributing it without their approval is a violation of copyright. Many websites have been required to remove references to the documents as a result. It's notably the only time that Slashdot.org has ever successfully been forced to take down anything because of a legal suit.

I don't know why people have such a problem with Scientologists, their beliefs are no more ridiculous than those of Mormons, Christians, Muslims, Jews, etc., ad nauseum.
Finding Scientology to be more absurd than your personal religion just makes you a hypocrite and an idiot.
It's not the absurdity, but the deliberate malice of scientology. The basic tenate of most every other major religion in some way amounts to treating your fellow man by the golden rule. Scientology has nearly the exact opposite tact and actively encourages that any opposition be attacked and destroyed by absolutely any and all means necessary to do so. Other major religions also actively work to distribute their scriptures and teachings for free. Scientology again takes the exact opposite approach and actively uses every law available to stop the distribution of their religious materials and beliefs. Those aren't just banal differences, they are fundamental.
Fall of the Republic - The Presidency of Barack Obama
I tend to believe in the inherent evil of man, so ideas like this fit right in to my view of reality. It seems like this would be a natural progression of 'society'.
What gets me itchy is, if this is happening - what the heck are we going to do about it?
I think I believe even more strongly in the inherent evil of man, and it's why the ideas in this video DON'T fit right into my view of reality. An overarching NWO and coordinated effort by some secret cabal of the most powerful people in all the world just doesn't make sense. The biggest reason being the inherent evil leads the members to destroy each other. Watch the rise of every historical tyrant in history. The two final steps to securing their power is killing all rival parties/powers, and then killing off all challengers within their own party ranks.
America's '2 party' system, while failing completely as an actual two party option, does at the least succeed in keeping the corruption of the greedy and the powerful pitted against one another and makes the better interest of the general public into a valuable asset/tool to the corrupt and powerful. A bad system without a doubt, but better than the alternatives that have been tried from time to time.

You don't have to necessarily buy into any of this to view it, or even enjoy it. For some these videos and theories are simply entertaining. There may be some truth, but that's for you to discern - and it might be worthwhile. I don't deny that those truths are often buried by the heavy sensationalism, although one who agrees with such methods might say that's a good way to get people to "wake up." Give it a watch, see for yourself.
The same could be said of FOX 'News', and frighteningly enough it's on average less biased than this. If you want the contrarian view there are infinitely better sources, this is just garbage that attempts to sway people based on their ignorance of the mountain of facts that are left out because they are inconvenient to the films world view.
Fall of the Republic - The Presidency of Barack Obama
The film exposes the agenda that Obama was put in place to accomplish, a world government allied with a bank of the world run by globalist eugenicists hell-bent on destroying America’s first world status and replacing it with a hollow shell of tyranny.
If that's your rallying call the movie is for you. Groupthink powers, activate!

Glenn Beck Has A Brief Moment Of "Self-Awareness"
Richard Gage lays out the case for a 9/11 Conspiracy
They fell in a downward direction because of the little known force called GRAVITY!
They didn't exactly hit their own footprint too neatly though, as the first two collapses managed to adequately miss their own 'footprints' and hit WTC7 with enough force to cause it's collapse as well. The other hokum like max temperature of a fire and nano-thermite are equally ridiculous, 5 seconds in google will get you good answers to any of them if you really honestly care.
I don't think you need to be an "engineer" to conclude the 9/11 Commission Report does a poor job addressing these questions.
You shouldn't need any degree at all to wonder how the experts that formed and have read the official investigation have missed something fundamental enough that even you as a laymen can easily see it.

This has been tried before. Many times on a national level.
It ends badly.
Please, enlighten me on the specifics ....
Working less and consuming less is an option open to most people in capitalist countries. The people choose instead to work more and consume more.
There are really only 2 situations were people seem to reduce their consumption, in a recession or when they are made to do so by force. Neither has ever been improvement.

Really? That's not how my grandparents remembered the early 1900's.

Richard Gage lays out the case for a 9/11 Conspiracy
So to sum up bcglorf
Yes it is to much to ask to investigate because his suggestion sounds crazy.
Regardless of any evidence they bring up to try and say it is suspicious it seems that a lot of people just want to stick their fingers in their ears and go lalalala. Then the second you lay out where that evidence may lead they unplug their ears and go "AHA! See sounds crazy!".
I just think it's odd that people can't accept the smallest possibility of this. Governments have done terrible things to their own people before. Do you people with your fingers in your ears really think all the good guys are in North America and all the bad are in the Middle East? (not saying there aren't bad people in the Middle East mind you).
I think part of it stems from people not wanting to be "that guy". You know, the one that suggests something out of step of what is commonly believed. The ones you ridicule usually. You got no balls.
You seem to be under the mistaken impression that his claim is as simple as requesting there be an investigation. You see, there already was an investigation and it is Gage that is ignoring that evidence and calling it suspicious and sticking his fingers in his ears.
Gage isn't even merely asking for a more thorough investigation, he is making his own claim that the 9/11 attacks were a controlled demolition event. Every piece of evidence he and his type have brought forward has been thoroughly debunked. The official story has been accepted as valid by thousands of trained profesionals in relevant fields. For Gage's story to be true, literally thousands of trained engineers and physicists across the country have to be in on the conspiracy. It also requires a massive coverup effort to hide and plant the explosives initially and to subsequently deny the use of them before all the professional witnesses across the country who know better. Sorry, but it is crazy if you follow it right through and truly test the imagined 'evidence' Gage has brought forward.
Richard Gage lays out the case for a 9/11 Conspiracy
Here we go. Cue the uber-patriots: "So you're saying Bush colluded with the terrorists to kill thousands of people and destroy billions of dollars worth of property?? You morons! Downvote!"
Uh, no. No sane person is saying that. Try to pay attention.
What they're saying is quite simple: "There should be a thorough, independent investigation."
Capice?
Well, I agree that no sane person is saying that, Richard Gage is. Sorry, couldn't resist.
Seriously, if he says it's a controlled demolition and the implications of this are really 'dark' because of how secure these buildings are, what is that supposed to imply? Remember that the government's investigation clearly denies any kind of controlled demolition. You can't distance Richard Gage's claims from the argument that very high level officials were responsible for the 9/11 attacks.
Also notice he's moved up his claims from thermite to the much scarier nano-thermite. Throwing the word nano in helps rally in the choir he preaches to.
and more simply, BOOOOOO!

Pretty good idea for people living in apartment blocks. I do wonder how you train the cat to do this though.
I think you've mistaken who does the training in these relationships.

Behind the Scenes of The Daily Show Going to Iran
While both the left and right over here argue about the tyranny we face here, and whether the solution is removing all sanctions against Iran or bombing it into the stone ages, the people of Iran are fighting to solve the problem themselves and literally risking their lives to change the direction their leadership is taking their country.
