This is important to me

Ok. This is the only forum I know that allows general off topic discussion any more, but there were always rules. As such there is important stuff I was never able to say without it breaking the rules and/or turning into a flame war.

While I will hope to expand this later when I have more time (and read all them mature threads) I will start by posting the one thing that I constantly link to and is a must listen for anyone who has even the slightest interest in health care, conspiracy, Aids and Cancer, the third world, buiness or rational thought.

It's the Conpiracy Skeptic. In particular, "The cure for cancer" episode in which he de-bunks the claims and logical flaws in the old claim that the cure cancer (or any other desise) exists, but is being withheld because drug companies make more money from treatments instead of cures.

I don't care how or when, but please give it a listen even if it's just in the background of a game as it's well worth being knowlagable in this stuff. Information from this one episode crops up alot once you know and is 15 minutes well spent.

Go easy on the politics. There may be a politics board coming, but I'm not sure yet. That said, we'll be a little more tolerant of it here.

I don't think it would be bad per say, just heavily modded and watched. Politics is a touchy subject and easy for trolls to abuse.

Newswipe

Charlie Brooker is a guy I find hillarious and informative. As a result I link to his vids alot, especially the first episode of newswipe series 2, which deals with the issue of scare tactics in the media. Well worth your time.

LMAO, that Charlie should be listed as a national hero. If you like that, you should watch Penn and Teller's Bullshit. Most of the episodes are very, very entertaining.

I'm a big fan of penn and teller, though I like Brooker more. The PETA and enviomental episodes are best.

Not sure. If it was an old ep, probley, not seen the new ones yet. I remember the moonlanding ep of mythbusters though. Again, not seen the new ones.
