Is there a specific episode you found enlightening or do you tend to watch them all?

I tend to zero in on specific topics that interest me.

Apparently he was on the Daily Show, which is another show I never really watched much of.

Again, I'm not huge on political shows. Lately I do listen to a lot of political podcasts, but a lot of that is more about me just being disgusted with Trump and needing to hear smart people talk about how horrible he is. It's cathartic and informative (though again, biased so you gotta take what such people say with a grain of thought).

Like the Jon Oliver video I posted here, at one point he talks about the exchange between the white guy holding a Confederate flag and a black man I think Oliver's take was a little off the mark.

Not all white people in the South were slaveholders, in fact, most weren't. And the cost of a slave was a big part of that. However, now that I think about it, the Confederate Flag guy kinda admitted in saying that that his family probably WOULD have bought slaves if they COULD afford them, so actually maybe Oliver is right there, though he didn't make his point very clear.

Regardless, no one is right all the time, and everyone tends to cite the facts that support their view and ignore the stuff that doesn't. It's how these things go so you gotta keep your head on a swivel and use your best judgement.

I don't because it seems too over the top for me and I generally do not like to watch political shows in my spare time.

I have watched a little john oliver recently. He has specific topics he takes on and he is pretty smart on it (though biased of course) but his point of view is very helpful at times. I enjoyed this video a lot:

I also liked a more recent one he did on Vote By Mail

Maybe I should check out Patriot Act.

It is kinda weird we got two holes to get rida waste, innit?

pardon me for bringing this dirty question to attention - doesn't noses,ears n mouths create some kind of excrement as well? like wax, boogers n barf?

True. But that waste is more to do with gunk from the holes themselves...dregs of the mucus and such that naturally builds up there from those organs doin' what they're doin'.

But even so, you're right, why so many holes with so much exretion coming out of EVERY single one.

Also, consider that reptiles and birds have one hole that they use both for getting down and for excreting.

Also weird, why men use the same organ they use for getting down that they use for secreting, but women DON'T (unless you count the butt, lol)?

What's going on here?????

It's the government, clearly.

You have to do, whatever you can't not do.

We're all part of a river that is flowing in a specific direction that is impossible to go against.

Or, if you like, we're all falling.

When you're falling it's hard to do anything else. But maybe once in a while, in important moments, we can fall with style such that we can control how and what direction we fall.

Purely sociological, honest question:

Thats interesting. Though i wonder if the importance of hip width has been lessened due to modern medicine.

Human females do have wider hips than dudes, do they not? To accommodate the baby's headsize, which is unusally large even for other animals.

All in all, all women are attractive in their own way.

It might be one of those things like tallness.

Women tend to find tall men more attractive.

However, it may be that being tall is actually linked to poorer health. Having a large body means your heart needs to pump more blood and i have heard it can also be difficult for digestive health.

I dunno, speaking off the cuff here.
