Xavier Onassiss Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Re: A Thread for Random Videos I find it amusing that you'd throw out a word with such negative connotations as 'propaganda' then accuse someone else of hostility.

I'm sorry for my part in this. I was just trying to avoid the verbal hypocrisy of dancing around an opinion - That, as accurate, useful and helpful as I think the video is, it is also an emotional appeal with no logical content. Perhaps I should have said that. Perhaps my error was simply not being verbose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narf the Mouse Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Re: A Thread for Random Videos Also, I attach no negative connotations, beyond that of bias, to propaganda. I refuse to. To do so would be to accept the definition of those who use it to tar their opposition - A flawed premise, indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I should have said that. Perhaps my error was simply not being verbose. I'm not sure where the 'emotional appeal' is in this video -- the information is presented without comment, and as far as I can tell, without bias. It's just the number, location and dates of nuclear tests, and the two cases of nukes that weren't tests, of course. That's all presented as factual, without any emotional component at all, leaving the viewer to draw their own conclusions. I believe if there was anything deliberately emotional it was my own use of the word 'scary', for which I take full responsibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier Onassiss Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Re: A Thread for Random Videos I actually found the Fast Food Anime scarier. That's understandable. I don't know, but if fast food has contributed to more deaths than nukes over the last half-century, it wouldn't surprise me one bit. Or were you referring to the musical score?

Hermit Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Re: A Thread for Random Videos Are you alarmed by how modern songs seem to be just about sex sex and more sex? Then rejoice, for here is a wholesome song from many decades ago where the singer suggests that women can learn to love eating veggies.
