    Alex Jones undertakes a psychological experiment that proves dangerous in more than one sense. While the public is caught up in the hype and promotion of the new iPad, it is clear once again that technology has captured our humanity– our worth has been caught up in baubles, and we are dangerously close to caring more about our gadgets than our family and neighbors. With this in mind, Alex daringly “tortures” the new toy being pushed by corporate elite to control the masses. He attempts to find out– or at least raise the question– as to whether humanity will concern itself with more with the senseless destruction of a computer than it does with the torture and senseless killing of more than a million Iraqis (to put forward one example) along with countless others across the globe.[^]

    You yourself are a wonderful example of those who put their own property above other human beings. Those horrors of healthcare, and welfare that you despise, because it takes your stuff. But as for the Ipad, I have one thing to say: Will it blend?[[]]

      No, the message is that many people care more about the senseless destruction of a computer than they do about their fellow men and women.

      But why do you care? they can't afford health care or the gadgets, so they don't deserve them!!! why should we worry now about it? this is a socialist way to see things, you're becoming very socialist, finally the conspiracy from the government to take over your thoughts is happening. And also, where are the results of the research?, how was it done?, who participated in it?, we need real scientific data to believe whatever you say... FACTS... And again, you fail... how does it feel to be full of fail in everything you do? you're nothing more than a socialist zombie.

        Yea, I did like how he did that too. It looked like it was deliberate. And it was elegant and poetic. Shame that I can't give a 5. Cause I totally would. We should all do it. I know I will. Word.

                I was kinda hoping they'd pull out some mega-sized version to actually fit the ipad so I could watch it bounce around like the iphone did.

                  There is a difference between charity and theft. On the healthcare by the way, forcing everyone to buy healthinsurence from the big corporations (premiums will increase, not decrease) and then cutting everyone's care is so liberal.

                        and still you haven't answered, why do you care about people caring more for an iPad, isn't this what you support? what you believe? free market, and the government is supporting it giving the big corporations more customers, its capitalism!! or you want free health care? socialist way to do things, isn't socialism bad? Are you a liberal? because the description you just gave for them is like a picture of you, with your ideas you're racist, fascist, authoritarian and hateful, didn't you called me names, like monkey and I don't know what else? you hate me for not thinking like you, when you come here you're authoritarian when trying to give out your ideas, it's only one way, your way... so you're liberal right?

                          There's a difference between being a contributing member of society and a damn leech, and the barrier isn't based on how much money you make. And for the note, I still back the public option, the bit that annoys me the most is that there isn't one. But hey, that's socialism right?

                            wait, didn't the liberals want free health care for the citizens and compromised with the conservatives who were screaming "communists" and made the health insurance thing? Liberals tend to be the guys that are all PC. Obviously racist and hateful. Liberals want to let gay people marry. Obviously authoritarian, letting people do what they want... Liberals want to rein in corporations. Facists have corps ruling government... Good News everyone! Black is white, up is down, and anyone that argues with CSS is arguing with god.

                              But this is a thread about Pillowpants, To analyze those ridiculous rants, And the idiotic shifting stance, Of a libertarian sycophant. He really just can't Justify his slant. As intelligent As a plant. Muahaha... I actually used "sycophant" in a sentence, AND rhymed it. Reminds me of back in grade school, when I used to write idiotic limericks.

                                The difference between a worker who is having half his paycheck taken to be given to a welfare case, and a welfare case getting a income taken from a worker. My little half-brother is on welfare, he gets 700 a month, plus 200 foodstamps, plus medicaid all because his father told him to pretend to act retarded when he is around the doctor and case worker. All he does is sit around smokes weed and play video games, he is 19, and fully capable of holding a job except for the fact that he now thinks that other people are supposed to work for him. He is rotted to the core. He is NOT retarded, but he is criminal minded because he has been taught to be a liar and a thief.

Liberals want to rein in corporations. Facists have corps ruling government...

                                    It is ironic isn't it? They claim to be all lovey fuzzy until they get in power, then they become greedy authoritarian pricks with a chip on their shoulder.

My little half-brother is on welfare, he gets 700 a month, plus 200 foodstamps, plus medicaid all because his father told him to pretend to act retarded when he is around the doctor and case worker. All he does is sit around smokes weed and play video games, he is 19, and fully capable of holding a job except for the fact that he now thinks that other people are supposed to work for him. He is rotted to the core. He is NOT retarded, but he is criminal minded because he has been taught to be a liar and a thief.

                                      And as someone who actually loses about 1/3rd of his pay in taxes, who is talking to the person who may well not earn enough to pay any, I'd like to ask you to get a sense of perspective.

                                      A note from personal experience, give it a bit longer, eventually the weed will do it's job and he will be. There are always liars and thieves, they're at every damn level. I'm not going to say don't help anyone because someone might exploit it, I'll just drop the idiots on their ass when they ask me for help personally, and help those who have shown they're actually willing to use help to better themselves. If someone is happy with what that little gets them in life, it actually bothers me a bit. It bothers me more that your father taught him to do it. But neither of those things are the fault of welfare, it very much sits with the two of them. The point of welfare is to keep people from loosing everything and stand themselves back up, but as with everything, there's always someone who misses the point.

                                        Welfare goes against the very grain of human nature. It is legalized theft. It rots people's core. It's purpose is to degenerate society and make people dependent on government. My father is not his father by the way. Again, there is a big difference between charity and theft.

                                          Ah, apologies then. Have half sisters myself, who are somewhat on the complete other end of the scale. So I can understand the concern to an extent, but I don't blame it on the fact they're growing up with enough money to easily leave them valuing nothing but possessions. In fact I credit my father with not letting it go to their heads, despite how easily it could. But let's face this, it isn't the welfare that corrupted them, they have taken advantage of what is offered to people who have legitimate problems. You have to be pretty damn rotten to start with to pretend you have issues just to get a handout.
