Not slide but bloody awsome.

“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

John Maclean (Scottish socialist) speech from the Dock 1918.

After the first 10 or so Youtubes, my browser begins to chug a little. After 20, it's useless, even if I don't have that tab up front. I had to interrupt this page from loading just to post this.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

The Net is best considered analogous to communication with disincarnate intelligences. As any neophyte would tell you. Do not invoke that which you have no facility to banish.

what are you using? Switching to chrome seems to help on some computers where resource hog embeds can be a PITA.

Firefox on Ubuntu on an EeePC netbook.

give Chrome a shot.

i'm no comp tech nerd but i find it faster loading on a desktop setup and have heard the difference is even more noticeable on laptops etc.
