BRAVE MAN: Martin Luther King’s speeches always made sense in contrast to what is happening in the world today,
WORDS OF WISDOM: Had we listened to you there would be less terrorism today.
I am an American and I support this message…
MLK says America be warned
“You are too arrogant! And if you don’t change your ways I will rise up and break the backbone of your power and place it in the hands of a nation that don’t even know my name”
And we see that happening right now.
Some people say that China will receive a piece of that broken backbone.
The nations that claim to be the followers of The God of Abraham (Christianity, Islam, and Judaism) have all become arrogant and caused much death and destruction in his name.
Look at what we have now!
Great words that speak the truth about America then and now.
No amount of lies or deceit from anyone can hide this powerful message that resonates to this day.
Kermit the Frog would like a word about our house…..
ROFLMAO…. Why is Kermit filming a Trump rally?
Kermit PSA: “Waste Deep” aka “Food” (60 Seconds) – Better World Society
In 1989, Kermit the Frog served as spokesfrog for the Better World Society. He appeared in two Public Service Announcements directed by Jim Henson in November of 1988, which aired the next year. In 1990, Jim Henson Productions was presented with Telly Awards for both PSAs.
The first PSA (titled “Food” in production and later honored by the Telly Awards as “Waste Deep”) features Kermit posing a question to the viewer: “What if everyone in the world lived in one house?”
The camera pans from left to right through several rooms filled with Muppet monsters involved in a number of raucous activities: eating food (with the refrigerator door left open), bathing (in a full tub, with the water still running), brushing teeth (the water pressure noticeably affected by the monster bathing in the preceding room) and lastly, a bedroom full of monsters trying to find their own space in an over-crowded bed.
Kermit appears at the end to repeat his question, and answers, “We do.”
LOL… The house is getting smaller though, as can be seen in the clip.
The great leader is not the safe-for-all-political stripes hero he is sometimes portrayed as.
He was never just the “I Have a Dream” speech.
He was an anti-war, anti-materialist activist whose views on American power would shock many of the same politicians who are currently scrambling to sing his praises.
Dr. King’s more radical worldview came out clearly in a speech to an overflow crowd of more than 3,000 people at Riverside Church in New York.
“The recent statement of your executive committee are the sentiments of my own heart and I found myself in full accord when I read its opening lines: ‘A time comes when silence is betrayal,'”
Martin Luther King Jr. is being hailed by politicians of all stripes on Wednesday, from a president who is considering military options in the Middle East.
Even the March on Washington itself was more radical than it is often remembered as being, having been largely designed by A. Philip Randolph, a union leader, and Bayard Rustin, a gay pacifist and World War II conscientious objector.
The radicalism of the 1967 speech didn’t just extend to Vietnam. King called for the U.S. to “undergo a radical revolution of values,” saying that “we must rapidly begin the shift from a ‘thing-oriented’ society to a ‘person-oriented’ society.”
“When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.”
“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death,” he said.
The speech, and King’s stance on Vietnam more generally, were not particularly well received by major media outlets at the time.
Time magazine called the speech “demagogic slander that sounded like a script for Radio Hanoi.”
The Washington Post wrote that King had “diminished his usefulness to his cause, his country, his people.”
A New York Times editorial titled “Dr. King’s Error” took a wider view:
Dr. King can only antagonize opinion in this country instead of winning recruits to the peace movement by recklessly comparing American military methods to those of the Nazis testing “new medicine and new tortures in the concentration camps of Europe.” The facts are harsh, but they do not justify such slander ….
King explicitly addressed such questions in his April speech:
“Why are you speaking about war, Dr. King? Why are you joining the voices of dissent? Peace and civil rights don’t mix, they say. Aren’t you hurting the cause of your people, they ask? And when I hear them, though I often understand the source of their concern, I am nevertheless greatly saddened, for such questions mean that the inquirers have not really known me, my commitment, or my calling. Indeed, their questions suggest that they do not know the world in which they live.”
As he himself said, King was always more than “I Have a Dream.” His other stances — from economic justice to Vietnam — are just more controversial.
That doesn’t mean that, decades after his historic march, they deserve to be forgotten.
he total spectrum of his beliefs may not be as easy as “let freedom ring,” but the full MLK was much larger than the safe-for-everyone caricature that is often presented today.
What’s that, boss? Shoehorn sound clips of every possible catchphrase into the game? Repeat a bunch of jokes from the movie, only making them less funny in the process? Can do!
That was actually pretty good….NOT!
From the dark days of early CD ROM ‘multimedia’ games.
Something awful in the form of Waynes World?.
Garth looks freaking scary
OMG…. what WAS that!??!?!?
Wayne’s World is one of the things from the 90’s that has aged TERRIBLY.
Dude, that was painful.
That’s some nice MIDI files…. NOT!
Who remembers this awful game
WOW…. Capstone. That’s a logo I haven’t seen in many moons.
Their software was usually pure shit.
I don’t think they released a single non-shitty game.
They were usually crap movie tie-ins.
RIP OFF ARTISTS: They released Terminator Chess and everyone thought it would be a neat terminator version of Battle Chess
But the game players soon found out out that each piece had a grand total of ONE battle animation.
You can probably use a snes emulator and find the game on internet, but why?
SMH…. I feel like I am going crazy watching this. Weird
It was EXCELLENT!!!! NOT
After a while they don’t even try to match the samples to the right character, line, or mouth animation.
LOL… “The pinnacle of entertainment software”
Capstone…the Pinnacle of Gaming shitness
AMAZING…. Even in the 1990’s this would be crap. and this is i think the reason why some adults are saying that games will damage your brain
Ah, horrible point and click adventures of the 90’s
Maybe it was longer because it didn’t involve pirates, monkeys or Guybrush Threepwood?
Wayne: This game blows chunks
Garth: Yeah the Game Developer’s a gimp.
Wayne: Good Call, Garth.
Garth: his game tries to hard to be funny. BURN IT !!!
After dedicated service in the Great War, a Jewish barber (Charles Chaplin) spends years in an army hospital recovering from his wounds, unaware of the simultaneous rise of fascist dictator Adenoid Hynkel (also Chaplin) and his anti-Semitic policies.
When the barber, who bears a remarkable resemblance to Hynkel, returns to his quiet neighborhood, he is stunned by the brutal changes and recklessly joins a beautiful girl (Paulette Goddard) and her neighbors in rebelling.
Mike Bloomberg is attacking President Donald Trump in his safe space.
On Thursday morning, the Democrat premiered his newest ad attacking the president on “Fox & Friends,”
Trump’s favorite program that frequently lavishes praise on him. Adding insult, the show also interviewed Bloomberg’s top presidential campaign adviser, Kevin Sheekey.
The previous Michael Bloomberg ad touts the ex-mayor’s accomplishment of cutting the number of uninsured New Yorkers in half, while accusing Trump and Republicans of spending a decade attacking Obamacare.
Bloomberg’s campaign revolves around agitating the president, who has increasingly begun criticizing his former mayor from New York, a self-made billionaire who has spent years belittling Trump as a bad businessman and reality TV star.
Bloomberg also made sure to match Trump in advertising during the Super Bowl, a roughly $10 million endeavor for both campaigns.
And when Bloomberg first announced, one of the first places he bought ad time was in the West Palm Beach, Fla., media market so Trump might see the ad as he visited his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach.
It appears that President Trump has seen at least one of Mike Bloomberg’s onslaught of campaign ads permeating the airwaves.
The commander in chief sent out a series of tweets Monday morning calling the billionaire former mayor’s commercials “False Advertising” and disputing his claims about his administration’s healthcare policies.
“Mini Mike Bloomberg is spending a lot of money on False Advertising. I was the person who saved Pre-Existing Conditions in your Healthcare, you have it now, while at the same time winning the fight to rid you of the expensive, unfair and very unpopular Individual Mandate,” President Donald Trump tweeted.
Trump went on to add that he will improve healthcare further if the GOP wins in court and takes back the House in 2020.
“….and, if Republicans win in court and take back the House of Representatives, your healthcare, that I have now brought to the best place in many years, will become the best ever, by far. I will always protect your Pre-Existing Conditions, the Dems will not!” his second tweet read.
Bloomberg clapped back with a shorter message.
“@ us next time,” his wrote on Twitter, with the symbol referencing that Trump declined to link to Bloomberg’s account when talking about him.
Workers at an Australia wildlife parker handed this ITV presenter a koala and told her it was a dangerous drop bear which drops down from trees onto its prey and senses fear. The presenter was even made to wear protective gear to hold the bear.
A good reminder that sexual harassment is said to be in the eyes of the beholder, i.e. the recipient of the pass(es).
Bottom line: however awkward or smooth the advances may be, are they perceived as welcome or unwelcome by the recipient? Because practically speaking, it’s ALL about the perception and response of the RECIPIENT.
So use caution, fellas, as some women aren’t able to voice their objections, and might feel uncomfortable standing up for themselves!
Also, some co-employees are actually concerned with their professional image (maybe even more so than the would-be dater?), and the aggressor is probably not even thinking about how the target may be worried about earning the reputation as the office skank, i.e. the one who ‘dates around the office’. Believe it or not, some people at work are there to, ahem, actually WORK!
Bottom line is, if she doesn’t respond to your advances, you’d be smart to back out gracefully and let the matter drop: you don’t want to face getting served with a lawsuit and/or discharge! After all, is it really worth losing a job over this?
BTW, this video depicts an attempt at striking up a relationship amongst co-workers, and not between a boss/employee (where it’s even MORE QUESTIONABLE). That’s potentially ‘quid pro quo’ harassment, where a boss dangles career advancement in exchange for sexual favors (clearly wrong and illegal).
This video also conveniently sets aside the whole ‘creating a hostile workplace environment’ issue (which Letterman learned about the hard way), where co-workers can file a harassment claim EVEN IF they’re NOT one of the parties of the incident, but simply witness the relationship (including hearing about it via office rumors).
In the case of hostile working environment claims, the question is, what would OTHER workers think if someone who was in a position of supervision was seen to be dating an employee, possibly doling out favors and promotion because of one’s willingness to sleep with the boss? Do other workers ALSO need to sleep with the boss to get ahead? That’s the angle.
Needless to say, the thicket is filled with bristles…. Easiest solution is, don’t go there (because cases such as these often settle out of court for six-figures).
A groundbreaking TV documentary about Art and Modern life and an award-winning BBC series with John Berger, which rapidly became regarded as one of the most influential art programs ever made.
At 28:48 Berger presciently predicts Internet commentary, but today, ironically, the dialogue has again become impossible.
Ways of Seeing is a 1972 BBC four-part television series of 30-minute films created chiefly by writer John Berger and producer Mike Dibb.
The idea of reproduced images, re-purposed as language elements in a conversation seems especially relevant in the age of Memes.
In the first program, Berger examines the impact of photography on our appreciation of art from the past.
It is interesting that he mentioned the ability to reply in the modern age. That’s what we’re doing now.
WE must have access to television that must be extended beyond its present narrow limits huh?
Like…. THE INTERNET?
Berger’s scripts were adapted into a book of the same name.
The book is required reading in even slightly artistically leaning classes
The series and book criticize traditional Western cultural aesthetics by raising questions about hidden ideologies in visual images.
The series is partially a response to Kenneth Clark’s Civilisation series, which represents a more traditionalist view of the Western artistic and cultural canon.
My favorite part of the series was the school children interpreting the Caravaggio.
I love Berger’s attitude to art “experts.”
If an expert were to be there with the children instead of Berger, maybe there would have been a look of discomfort on his face as the kids got it all “wrong,” in his own educated mind.
Maybe educated people should make people feel freer to think, not afraid to.
Of course, when you’re doing hard history, there is always accurate and inaccurate, but is there really a right or wrong?
