There are redditors who are just as vile. But the voting system on here usually means they are pushed to the bottom and hidden. Youtube doesn't do the same.
Yea, apparently the dislike function is just for show on Youtube. The like function isn't even used for what it should be; replies are what bring comments to the top, not how many likes it has. So if some asshat comments and everyone replies to it telling them to piss off, the comment will still rise to the top. Doesn't make any damn sense.

YouTube management team must be insane... both the comment system and the related videos algorithm have ruined that platform entirely. It's almost like they sat around a table and were like "okay guys, how do we turn our website into a shitpost and clickbait paradise?"
Exactly. YouTube still isn't profitable to Google, but it is still a powerful platform; it influences millions of people, some even making a living with it. Why would they want to ruin it? The YouTube team has created something great, but they're ruining it really quickly. Worrying too much about what the mobile app looks like and not enough about the functionality of the core site. I think the real problem is that YouTube doesn't have any real competitors. Vimeo, Dailymotion, vid.me, those sites haven't gained enough popularity to motivate the YouTube team to actually take care of their site and keep it at its best. They either don't care or don't know that there's a problem.
Yeah it has definitely been gradually getting worse for sure, but popularity has by no means been hurting. The amount of server space and money required to start a service like YouTube is absolutely retarded. We can complain, but there really are no other options for us as users to turn to, so as a result I feel it really effects their urgency to cater to user's desires/needs.
Yeah they basically have a monopoly in that industry so they don't have to do shit to improve their services and can charge exuberant amounts of dollarydoos for it. :(

Yep, they're a telco company with a monopoly down here. They were initially government owned, but the government sold it and privatised it for a quick buck. Including all the infrastructure.
As they own all the copper, all the other telcos have to rent it off them - unless they want to spend billions laying their own. And as consumers, we're stuck paying ridiculous prices for old technology because the government screwed the telecommunications network.
The place I work has given up using YouTube as a platform. If you type pretty much any band name or venue into YouTube and search by upload date, YouTube is now littered with bot accounts claiming to be live streaming the concert and most ask for payment or direct you to malware. None of them are streaming anything. Pretty much every show we have has two or three of these. Bands themselves are upset about it too. It's been happening for months now and Google couldn't give two shits. YouTube is on the race to the bottom. The time is right for someone to come along and compete with them.
Yeah, YouTube actually lets people other than the first 100 replies get their comments seen instead of burrying them at the bottom of an abyss. (and no one here actually sorts comments from newest first. So don't tell me that.)
I think YouTube understands burrying comments that you are uncomfortable with is a slippery slope. Reddit hides controversial and unpopular opinions while promoting simple, cute, and popular opinions, so the comments become sort of a circle jerk here.

Channels have the option to blacklist words and phrases, they can appoint community moderators also.. In my opinion not moderating your own YouTube channel is laziness, and it would be easy to fix one of the main problems with YouTube ( the comments) if creators moderated their comments.

Several months ago, one of our French politicians was found to have not paid his taxes several years in a row. Not really like clever tax evasion, just... Not paying his taxes. This guy was one of France's bigger and louder advocates for not letting politicians and rich people get away with any and all forms of tax evasion.
When confronted, he claimed he has "administrative phobia". Filling out paperwork gives him anxiety, to the point where he can't do it at all. But he was supposed to do the books for his family, so he didn't want someone else to do it for him.
The term administrative phobia became a pretty big joke for a few months after that.

It was one of the reasons the right was pushing for why Trump voters voted the way they did. That they were in such economic despair that they felt no choice but to vote the way they did. In reality, with unemployment way down, new jobs coming in, and the dow Jones doubling in 8 years, the notion of that seems like a cop out to the left. If you voted for Trump that's your right as a citizen, but don't cop out on some lame excuse and just own up to it.
So since then, anytime anything racist or politically incorrect happens, the left sarcastically says "Oh, must be that economic anxiety." As a joke. "Oh Trump supporters paint a swastika graffiti over Jewish memorial. Must be that economic anxiety." It's a joke.

Lol I agree. Can we not tackle both problems at once though? Since a handful of muslims blow people up a year, do you think it is necessary to mention such a thing just because a muslim person is in a commercial? Should we mention drone-strikes in the comments of every single American commercial?
Take care of one problem and the rest follow. If muslims didn't murder people, no one would be making jokes and Americans wouldn't be sending drones to kill them.
And why can't we joke about religion? It is not something someone can't change like race, gender, disability, physical characteristics. It is a belief...just like politics. I believed Trump would make a better president. But others attacked my belief, called my candidate horrible things, called his supporters horrible things. Should I be offended? Not really. Also reddit has no problem joking about priests being child molesters, but muslims being terrorists should be off limits for some reason.

Americans will kill always be the biggest threat to world peace regardless of what Muslims do so please don't act like the whole system of problems starts and ends with one tiny group of a huge religion. I don't think anything should be "off limits", but I do think that lumping all muslims as terrorists would be unnecessarily hateful towards a group of people that have done nothing wrong. How can you have no empathy with people who see their self-identity constantly attacked because of the actions of a tiny fraction of their religion? What are you trying to convince me of anyway? You seem really determined to make me care less about minorities for some reason.

Hazzman ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 08:43:38 on November 19, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
I've been thinking about this and I have to admit it does concern me.
I know I'm at risk of sounding like an old man shouting at clouds, but there is something seriously odd about the lack of guidance in any of this media. It's so unconsidered and without restraint.
I'm not saying the glorified toy commercials I watched as a kid were paragons of morality and virtue... but my entertainment also included shows like Star Trek TNG and Mr. Rogers... both of which were full of healthy messages and philosophical questions that helped young minds grow.
No adult who resigns to sticking their child in front of a screen as some sort of surrogate parent is doing a particularly good job, but there was a sense that you could safely plop your child in front of the television and the worst thing they might see during the day was Big Bird teaching you the ABCs.
Take the Spiderman + Elsa video, for example. Hyper sexualised, structureless nonsense created specifically to exploit young peoples interest in the characters in order to gather views and revenue from Youtubes ad system. Parents are oblivious to what their kids are watching, on the surface they think its harmless but really its not suitable for young kids.
And that's really my point. No parent should ever feel safe just plopping their kid in front of youtube... and while it might seem obvious, this idea that you can just safely plop your kid in front of a screen is ingrained into us, into society, provided by the relatively controlled and safe environment we had growing up with television. Like I said plopping your child down in front of a screen is not good parenting, but we've gone from that being safe to do (if poor parenting) to just a wild land of unfiltered nonsense and craziness - in just 15-20 years. That's almost no time at all, much less enough time for society to adjust suitably.
Again - I hate to sound like an old man talking about how rock is the devils music... I'm only early 30's... but already I see young kids watching this stuff without any oversight and it disturbs me.

I doubt your parents just let you have full control of the tv while you were the same age that you were watching Mr.Rogers. If parents these days are letting their kids just watch anything on YouTube before they are say 5 or maybe even older, they're just shit parents.

- Every other YouTube comment
"le reddit army has arrived, gentlesirs. Both of these deluded people would be better spending their money on science things instead of their false gods." -- Every other Youtube comment once the video gets posted to Reddit
I am an atheist, I am fully capable of making fun of "my own". Just like everything else, every group has a gaggle of idiots. Dems, Repubs, believers and non believers.
Reasonable people do not comment on YouTube. I don't think I have ever seen an "atheist" comment on YouTube that was not hateful and ignorant. Real (intelligent) atheists just do not bother.
Im pretty sure they understood it was sarcasm. Im not sure why every time someone disagrees with the message of a sarcastic post the first instinct of smart alecs everywhere is to think they dont get sarcasm.
I am pretty sure you're talking out of your ass, the guy who responded to me clearly thought I was being serious and he deleted his comment once he figured it out.
You really do not need to ride into a discussion on your horse every time, but if you feel you need to, at least make sure you read the all the responses first.
I watched a bunch of toddlers try foreign cuisines and felt all giddy after the video; only to make the mistake of scrolling down to the comments to read all the bullshit people had to say about how they hated that one kid in the <insert color> shirt because of how he reacted to the food. Everyone a critic. Always going to be that special debbie downer out there that will ruin a perfectly good thing just because.
For the same reason Trump was voted president. There are a lot of fools on this planet. And most of them hide behind their computer on the internet. So connect the dots.
Reddit isn't perfect, but it has a better filter system. When you see top youtube comments like "nice legs" or "fuck this" on a random youtube video, you know that there's no intelligent sorting algorithm implemented.

For those wondering some of the reasons why Reddit comments got almost as bad as YouTube's during the election:
The Facebook Near-Billionaire Secretly Funding Trumpโs Meme Machine
The 24-year-old told The Daily Beast that he had used the pseudonym โNimbleRichManโ on Reddit with a password given to him by the organizationโs founders. Nimble America says itโs dedicated to proving that โshitposting is powerful and meme magic is real,โ according to the companyโs introductory statement, and has taken credit for a billboard its founders say was posted outside of Pittsburgh with a cartoonishly large image of Clintonโs face alongside the words โToo Big to Jail.โ
โWe conquered Reddit and drive narrative on social media, conquered the [mainstream media], now itโs time to get our most delicious memes in front of Americans whether they like it or not,โ a representative for the group wrote in an introductory post on Reddit.
Along with Luckey, Nimble America was founded by two moderators of Redditโs r/The_Donald, which helped popularize Trump-themed white supremacist and anti-Semitic memes along with 4Chan and 8Chan. A questionnaire to become a moderator at r/The_Donald posted in March had applicants answer the questions โIs there a difference between white nationalism and white supremacy?โ and โWas 9/11 an inside job?โ
Luckey insists heโs just the groupโs money manโa wealthy booster who thought the meddlesome idea was funny. But he is also listed as the vice president of the group on its website.
โItโs something that no campaign is going to run,โ Luckey said of the proposed billboards for the project.
โIโve got plenty of money,โ Luckey added. โMoney is not my issue. I thought it sounded like a real jolly good time.โ
But in another post written under Luckeyโs Reddit pseudonym, there are echoes of a similar tech billionaire, Peter Thiel, who used his deep pockets to secretly fund a campaign against Gawker.
Before becoming directly involved in the process, Luckey met the man who would serve as the liaison for the nascent political action group, and provide legitimacy to a Reddit audience for later donations without having to reveal Luckeyโs identity: Breitbart tech editor and Trump booster Milo Yiannopoulos. The bleached-blonde political agitator is most notable for being permanently suspended from Twitter for harassment after a series of abusive messages to actress Leslie Jones.
Luckey first met the alt-right provocateur in Los Angeles about a year and a half ago, before Yiannopoulos began working on a charity to send white men to college. The Daily Beast later reported that the scholarship fund had resulted in zero financial distribution of the donations that had been made directly to Yiannopoulosโs bank account.
โI came into touch with them over Facebook,โ Luckey said of the band of trolls behind the operation. โIt went along the lines of โhey, I have a bunch of money. I would love to see more of this stuff.โ They wanted to build buzz and do fundraising.โ
I thought they were gonna send each other copies of their personal religious text and then they'd have one of those "Oh you!" moments and everyone laughs. Or something.
I thought they were going to order a copy of the others religious text for themselves.

With most people assuming they buy the knee pads for each other, the message here is greater - that kindness is how they express their lifestyles and faith (ie. they are one and the same).
But they did the one-click-buy method. That sends it to the default address. And I don't think they were so close as to use each other's houses as their default addresses. Fuckers bought themselves knee pads

Most physical contact isn't filmed in such a sensual fashion, and doesn't have such longingly romantic background music.
Those same movements in a regular TV show likely wouldn't seem sensual at all, even though they do here, because it's not the interactions themselves that are sensual, but the way the interactions are filmed and edited.

It's a good choice by the writers. The commercial is clearly designed to have a message, and that message is common ground, and this hits that note on a few levels with the perfect tone. It's not heavy handed. Really great commercial.
I think for a topic that can be extremely sensitive on one end or overly saccharine on the other end they struck about as perfect a balance as one could hope for.
That wouldn't make any sense in reality, they are both men whose lives are devoted to religious, they 100% already own all the major religious texts and have extensively studied them.
Oh yeah totally, that's not the stupidest thing I've ever heard at all. When you're catholic, you study the Quran, and when you're Muslim, you study the Torah. That unparalleled level of understanding, that's why all the world religions have such a long and illustrious history of getting along with each other.

Clearly this guy has not use Imagus. It's amazing even outside Reddit.
Other similar extensions are/were HoverZoom and HoverFree. If you are using HoverZoom, uninstall it as they are selling your data for targetted ads and HoverFree is no longer being developed. And Imagus is better than both of them anyways.
I can't browse the internet on without Imagus.
Make sure to learn it's major shortcut which it does not tell you, otherwise it is inconvenient sometimes. Press Z when hovering or hold right click for a second and release it to enter Zoom Mode. Rest you'll figure out.

They still do this shit to me even though they see me opening the door to go meet them at the damn truck.
We do, same trucks as US and they tend drive slightly more dickishly than you'd like them to. But they're not so common because the national mail is pretty decent and there's a fair bit of competition for private mail.
I would be annoyed. Why do I need to see them and slow them down? The way I figure they do what they gotta do and if there's a problem me and amazon will deal with it. I've gotten thousands of shipments and can't remember one broken or misplaced package. Pretty astounding when you think about it reall.
I always knock and I usually wait to hand off the packages, I like being personable. Granted, if I don't hear you moving towards the door, or if I have to be somewhere for a pickup shortly, I'm leaving it and heading on my way.

Yeah, Anglicans are pretty much the only ones who do this (most Protestants don't have priests, they have "pastors". Whatever that means). Catholics and Orthodox guys don't have that. It's a life of celibacy for Catholics (I'll get to Orthodox rules in a moment). The only allowed circumvention to this is if you become an Anglican priest, got married, then converted to Catholicism. Of course, if she dies at any point, you aren't allowed to remarry. The Orthodoxy allows already-married men to be ordained a priests, but to quote myself:
Of course, if she dies at any point, you aren't allowed to remarry.

Oh they do, it's kind of funny because everyone is calling the priests Father, except their own kids, they call them Uncle.
If the ad is for people to get Amazon Prime, I'd guess they're pleasantly surprised at how speedy the delivery was? Like I figured maybe it was meant to be the first time either of them used the service and were like "oh shit, this was FAST."
But the real message is that these two men, while from wildly different faiths, thought similarly enough to do the same thing which shows how we are all fundamentally similar.
I thought the whole idea of the commercial was to show they weren't so different despite what is assumed (history agreeing) was a major difference (religion). Sort of the 2016 version of "we all put our pants on 1 leg at a time" and you get the warm and fuzzies.
I mean who buys their friend knee pads? That's a pretty personal choice.
I watched the whole thing thinking they bought the knee pads for themselves as well :|

The part of me that wants to refute this undoubtedly same part that has prevented me from ever being thoughtful enough to send someone a gift directly from Amazon.
Unless they're such good friends that get each other gifts so often that their one click settings are each other's address (or address's. Not sure.). But thanks for clarifying that because I was not sure.
I honestly thought the package was going to explode.

It's interesting to watch as a study in subtle story telling. It definitely does read like they are buying the packages for each other from the second they start the Amazon app, but that's never expressly stated.
They previously purchased presents for each other and at that time set the primary address to each other's address because they knew they were going to get together again and they liked each other so much they thought they may buy each other a president.
Not sure if you were only joking or not, but why did he laugh when he opened the box as if it were unexpected to receive them? Also they both looked like they were wondering what was inside the box when the delivery guy arrived
djab1 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 05:17:24 on November 19, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
While I believe you are true, that laugh makes it seem like it was a surprise so buying it for each other sounds like it was the direction this was meant to convey.
It's a plot hole though, and could be easier fixed if say the priest had trouble getting up, and then he receives a package. Jump to a shot where you see the Imam wearing them. It would convey the message stronger. As in "This thing saves me from serious pain and now I give it to you."
Maybe this is why they comment section is disabled. They realized the mistake but didn't want to spend the money to photoshop. Cheap ass Amazon. Those sophisticated YouTubers would be up in arms.
Maybe they're SUCH good friends they each have their one click set up for the other's address

You dont press the one click button unless you want it at your own home.
Or...you know, you buy a friend something often enough (at least once or twice a year, birthdays and christmas or whatever other excuse your really need to do something nice for a friend) that you never remove their shipping info from your amazon and you can just one click ship to them as well.
That and, if you're going to buy something for your friend that you also need why not buy 2 at once? Have them both delivered to you and give it in person next time.
It was a great commercial. Bravo, Amazon!
The 1-click was inserted by Amazon likely just to remind us how easy it is to order that way, but we are all given to understand that the two men in the commercial bought each other a thoughtful gift. Again, well done, Amazon! Makes me want to go right over and start ordering Christmas presents....

No, they bought them for each other, that's why they look surprised when they receive the packages. That's just a mistake on the part of the commercial makers.
Wellll, the article states it, to be sure. And that was the implication, no doubt about it. It doesn't explain, still, how the 1-click button would have gone anywhere but the default address, which, unless these guys are just crazy for buying each other gifts all the time, is their own houses. I've never known anyone whose default address is anything but their home address.

Amazon is advertising the convenience of one-click purchasing and selling the idea of inter-faith communality and the universality of buying for a friend on Amazon.
It's two things. Turn off your aspergers for two seconds.
No, you're missing the point. They were definitely surprised by the fact that it arrived on time and without damage. Not to mention it came with a delivery man!!

enjoy the touching story
Enjoy the touching, but technically incompetent, attempt to convince you to use a commercial product. Do you really need to resort to watching advertising to find touching stories?
I wouldn't say they were surprised; they just appear happy. Or maybe the point is that they are surprised and happy at how quickly their shipment arrived. So it was a story about two people buying themselves knee pads and how wonderful Amazon delivery service is.
I hope you understand we are all picking on the video for the fun of catching details. Yes, of course their intent was to show them buying gifts for each other, and they chose these religious leaders to try to make some sort of social commentary. They just made continuity mistakes that actually shows something very different happening. We get what they were trying to do. But in that context, the commercial doesn't really provide any actual value of social commentary; it's basically just Amazon giving a social signal that, as a company, they are promoting the idea that people should just get along. Right. But there's nothing new or interesting about that, either in the intended commentary, or in the context of businesses trying to use social value signalling to sell more products.
Or, put another way, can't you suspend your disbelief that we all get what they are doing and just enjoy the fun of re-interpreting the commercial based on their content mistakes.
Oh no, they got it. Just ya know, Reddit. Where products or heart warming messages are broken down to bear all their core faults until all that is left is meaninglessness. It's just how we roll.
I'm with you on this. I thought it was a great video until I saw all the comments. People have a way to ruin great things. Rather than learning and appreciating the message and some of the gesture people are constantly judging.
I got many things out of this video. It's probably like this in most part of the world except here because of our bias views. Two friends with different beliefs yet so close and caring for one another. And of course the ultimate Amazon prime making things happen. Great story. Peace!

Promote inter-religious friendship. It's not unlikely that they just had to ask those five local places of worship for some free holy books to get some. Then they just have to bundle them up and walk around handing them out. Can't be too hard to find someone that would invest an afternoon into doing what's pretty easily argued to be a good deed.

It doesn't matter if our beliefs are different and not everything we do has to orbit the politics of our beliefs. We can be friends without you going out to say you read scriptures and I yours.

the greeting at the front door, and the way they converse is our clue that they've known each other for a long time, and presumably would have had plenty of opportunity to educate themselves on the other's religion, and likely had many conversations on the subject
I thought it was a clever way of illustrating that when you scratch the surface, underneath we are all the same, and we all struggle with the daily hardships in life, regardless of race, color or creed.
We are all inexorably dragged to our knees, battered, defeated, and ultimately swallowed by the gaping, eternal abyss of death, erasing our deeds, our aspirations, the memory of our existence, mocking all of our struggles, our triumphs and defeats, the indignities of age followed by endless oblivion.
You're right, but what if they have each other set as their primary address when making the 1-click purpose? What are the implications there? Oddly enough it's the only scenario that makes actual sense considering what information we are presented with. Unless they really were just buying knee pads for themselves... this makes no sense.
A Christian and a Muslim, two groups of people who historically have had a long history of conflict, can still come together, be friends, and suffer from the same thing (weak knees). It shows that even thought they are extreme opposites, they are the same.

I think the real message was empathy. There are a lot of people that think someone else's life is different, when in reality we are all human.
What I think people lack the most nowadays is looking at the other side, putting themselves in the position of the other person.
We are all human beings, it's a simple message but one we often forget.
If they did buy the knee pads for themselves, the relevance was a message of unity. Regardless of our backgrounds, we're all the same, we're all human.
It's meant to send an undertoned message of acceptance.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 04:56:41 on November 19, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
The meeting was about how their knees hurt - they probably were like:
"hey I heard knee pads might help with our joint pain"
"That sounds awesome, my old knees are beat as fuck. I'll one click buy it"
"Dude, yes. One click buy is the way to go. I'll do the same"
I think the general idea was supposed to be that working together and talking about problems can lead to solutions. My guess anyway.

That or they are both then pissed off at Amazon for ruining their order because they could have sworn they entered in their friends Adress and it even says it on the receipt in their email.
Actually, the duality of this situation is what makes this a really beautiful concept.
No where in the commercial do you know if they coincidentally bought each other the same gift, or both came to the same idea of getting knee pads for themselves after talking as friends.
So, there are two potential interpretations that send a strong message.
People can be accepting and friends with each other, regardless of religious belief and develop into a close friendship (respect of diversity)
Regardless of our backgrounds, our beliefs, etc. we're all human. Our daily needs are the same and we can understand each other. (unity)
At least, that's how I took it.

As a Muslim, an Imam has to have a good amount of knowledge in both the Bible and the Torah. Most have read it or can at least say quite a bit regarding it. As well, many of them, such as the one in our mosque, has been a big partner of interfaith dialogue.
Since Jesus probably gets as many namechecks in the Qur'an as the Bible (it's something like 90 times), and the Qur'an encourages readers to read the Bible to read stories of Jesus, and it's the same monotheistic God in both books if the Bible plus the Qur'an, any Imam will be more familiar with the Bible than most people calling themselves Christians.

Same... I don't know what that says about me as a person though... On the one hand I wanted to believe that these two were tolerable of each other, which they were and on the other hand I thought it would end in a way where both were disappointed in the other for trying to convert.
Currently sleep deprived and procrastinating my homework and I swear for a split second I thought that you were talking to me and that I was going crazy. Thanks for the reminder, even though it wasn't towards me.
Right when they cut to the shot of them rubbing their knees, for a split second I really thought they had reached over and were rubbing each others knees.

I'm no doctor, but I would say so, yeah. This is an anecdote, so it should be taken with a grain of salt, but the blind people I've met haven't been completely oblivious of my location relative to theirs. They aren't looking at a wall behind them or to the side when I talk to them.
But that is just a physical explanation. Looking a man in the eye is about intent. If a blind man means to look you in the eye, you will know it. A blind man's reaction to avoiding another man is the same as a person with vision, since sight isn't even a factor anymore.

My friend bought a house. The first night we are drinking beers and sitting on the carpet because there was no furniture. We mention how shitty the carpet was and pull up a corner. Beautiful hardwood floor. From that point on until 3 in the morning we were pulling up all the nails and staples holding down the carpet.

Not true. I'm a wedding photographer and shooting a wedding means a lot of the time you are kneeling down to get better angles and kneepads are essential. My friend gave me some old knee pads when I first started and I still use them.
I can't be the only one who, at least for a second, thought they were going to bang, right?
There's at least one moment where they look at each other and I was convinced that they were about to makeout with one another aggressively.
They're also touching each other a lot in kind of flirty ways.
I was thinking "damn, Amazon - gay priest and Imam? That's maybe just a little too progressive, guys."
You know what, now that I'm thinking about this more I'm even more convinced these dudes are gay, because you're right - they got each other knee pads. Sure, sure, Amazon had to save face at the end by showing they're on their knees to pray, but I wonder if they have a version where they're legit gay and not revealing that they're gay lovers was because they were afraid of how people would react.

FedEx, UPS, and USPS, no.
However, every time I've had something delivered using Amazon's own delivery service, the person did actually wait. Once when I didn't make it to the door in time, they did leave the package, after waiting for like 30-40 seconds.
I didn't realize amazon had their own delivery service! Yea all the other delivery services they just run back to their vehicles and drive away before you can see them.
They're too fucking busy this time to year to have time to wait. I mean that literally. If you want to know how insane it is, go apply for a seasonal delivery position (or warehouse position, if you want to see how fucking absurd it is on the other end) at FedEx or UPS.
I'd recommend doing it anyway, honestly. They'll work you to the bone but FedEx takes care of their people. I don't have time this year, but last year they'd always have a ton of food for everyone when we all went home around 1 or 2 AM. Subway from the shop down the block, burgers, and before we all went home for Christmas, they treated everyone to fucking steaks from a restaurant not far away... had them cater it and used sternos etc to keep everything hot for the graveyard shift.
I worked at a FedEx hub years ago loading trucks during the holiday season. Graveyard shift. They never gave us any food. Towards the end of the holiday season they asked if I wanted to stay on and I said no because I was going back to school. They got mad because I didn't give them two weeks notice and said I couldn't work for FedEx again. Sorry, I thought a temporary position came with a built in termination date.
Amazon's delivery service probably only operates in very large cities, chances are it's only in the US too. For anything abroad, at least as far as I've noticed, they seem to use other services.

I live in a city of <200k and had an Amazon delivery truck drop off a package recently, they didn't wait at the door like that other comment said though.
All the major delivery services deliver their stuff to the loading dock at work and the staff come drop it off at the door to our office. Amazon comes and hands it to us individually. On the other hand, they also can't find the mail room for my building and keep dropping packages off outside the building to get stolen.

In my experience, at least in Germany, amazon logistics could quite possibly be one the worst delivery companies in the country. DHL (which is mostly used) for example is much better, faster, will always hand the package directly to me, has options for moving scheduled delivery time, and so on.
I wonder if it's actually amazon running those things or if they just hand it over to subcontractors which would make the quality of service vary between countries...

They're contractors. They don't get AZ benefits, and they're easily replaceable. Liability, I guess. Plus, way easier to delegate all that to someone instead of trying to manage yet another thing. I don't even have any idea where they pick their packages up from, all the warehouse does is fill trucks.
Interesting. I always liked DHL but they shut down their domestic delivery service in the US after our economy crashed in 2008. I ordered an item from Australia in 2011 and had it shipped DHL 2-day and the driver waited at the door for me, which was nice since I took the day off to wait for him. I'd use them more if I had a choice.
I had issues with Amazon's delivery service for "losing" my package several times. The guy straight out stole it. He would block my driveway and scan a package and toss it back in and set the item as undeliverable.
After a week of back and forth with Amazon they finally replaced the items and since I made a complaint (Phone, forum, and chat) I haven't had a missed package from them. I guess I got a new driver.
I order things off amazon all the time and they never wait for me to answer the door. The only time I've ever had someone wait at the door with a delivery is when it needed to be signed for (and even then, sometimes they just knock, leave a "we missed you" note 2 seconds later, and leave). It may just be your area or something.
If this was Canada he would put a door hanger with some bullshit reason on it, but he'd never actually have the package on him.

Yes, but to get from one end of your country to another just takes a few hours driving. Getting from one end of the US to another takes several days. Combine that with the fact that Amazon sells things on such a massive scale.... yes, color me impressed

These knee pads were the top seller and averaged a 4.5 star rating with thousands of reviews. It was reasonably priced and none of the other products seemed to offer a clear advantage. The only sticking point was the bright color, but then they both realized that the other guy wears robes too.

A sticking point other people are pointing out is that 1-click sends it to your own address automatically, meaning that they both bought the kneepads for themselves (unless each had the other's address as their default)

Plus, attention was drawn to the knees, it's definitely possible they said something along the lines of "Haha, we should probably get kneepads with all this kneeling we do" as the Imam was leaving. Then a few minutes later they thought actually, that's a good idea, let's check Amazon for them and buy them for myself/ gift them to that guy.

Searching for knee pads will yield the same results for both. 60-90% of people buy the first result (depending on category and how many 'big name brands' exist in each). The chance that they bought the same knee pad is between 36% and 81%.
Yea everyone keeps saying that they bought it for each other. Which I think is what they character's were trying to do was buy it for each other. Then they clicked the one touch buy and they actually bought it for themselves.
This isn't that uncommon. A restaurant I used to work lunch shifts at, a Rabbi, Imam, and Pastor would come in once a week and discuss religion for 2-3 hours. When they all were ready to leave they'd give each other handshakes and hugs and go on their way. It was interesting to hear then discuss prophets and theories of each of their respective religion. And they all tipped well.
This might make sense if you're speaking of Catholics (and even then it's a stretch) - but most Christians believe in salvation through faith. That good deeds are like dirty rags that can never get you clean.
But i'm sure you already knew that.

I'd have expected they would be talking about the members of their congregations. Ignoring the reality that they're all practicing slight variations on the same religion, the big thing they'd have in common would be that they are advisors to lots of people in their communities on a lot of very personal issues. That's a damn difficult job and having colleagues to talk with about it would be really valuable.
They're also all scholars of their particular religion who probably take a great deal of intellectual pleasure in discussing ecumenical issues. Maybe this particular trio consisted of particularly academic types?
And the one priest I ever knew also liked talking about sports so who knows how often that gets tossed around.
I wouldn't be surprised if they intended for that to happen. Between the vague homoeroticism of their relationship, the delivery of the package itself, and the potential for playing off their religion, it's a Youtube Poop goldmine. Soon we'll see tons of edits of this commercial in goofy, funny ways... and all of which will make you subconsciously remember Amazon for being the creator of the commercial.

I thought it would have made way more sense if one needed knee pads and the other needed something else (IDK his church is cold AF and he got him some thermals, whatever) - but it seemed strange they would both think "Damn my knees hurt like shit but so do his, better get one pair of kneepads and continue to deal with this debilitating pain every day"
I think there's power in the notion that they both get on their knees aka perform the same motions to worship their own respective gods. A "we are ultimately the same" type thing.
Because commercials can have sentiments and tell you something about the company and its ideals (or what it wants you to think of it anyway). In this case, because of the tension around muslims right now, Amazon wants you to know that it's a company of tolerance and acceptance.
Amazon sells basically everything, they could have bought each other dildos and a bucket of lube and it still would have been relevant

Maybe they view their pain as a sacrifice, and, rather than something to be resentful of, they view it as a reminder of their mortality and that even the old and infirm can put aside their earthly troubles and bend a knee to God. It would be vanity to buy the knee pads for yourself, but to do it for a friend as a token of love and respect is a kind act of thoughtfulness. And yet, they are blessed for their charity and fellowship by receiving the same gift that they've given. They've done unto others as they would have others do unto them and been rewarded for it.
The kneepads make sense in the context of the prayer bit at the end though

This right here is why this concept is dumb. How is this on the front page with everyone praising it? Not only was it kind of cheesy, but the concept doesn't really make any sense. First of all, the 1-click Amazon Prime thing only works for buying things for yourself, and secondly, you're right, why would each of them buy something that they need for the other guy, and not for themselves, too?
And they both happen to buy each other the exact same knee pads on Amazon....and they're both internet/app savvy old guys who know how to use Amazon and think to buy the exact same knee pads on Amazon for each other after visiting.
When they parted, they accidentally picked up each other's phones, with automatic login to their Amazon accounts, and decided to 'prank' each other buy ordering something useful.
And it can't have been pre-set, or else this would be a regular thing, and they wouldn't be surprised at receiving a package. It'd just be a: "Daww, geeze. What did Joseph/Mohammed send me this time? Crazy guy." sheepish smirk.

As someone who works on commercials and has dealt with 'client notes', I can almost guarantee that someone from Amazon insisted that the 1-click visual was included, even though it makes no sense. Never underestimate how far a client will go to make sure their product or brand is featured more prominently, regardless of what damage it does to the creative, or if it makes the whole thing make no sense.
Most likely, the Amazon brand team submitted a Prime membership brief but was told by upper management after the shoot that 1-Click purchasing needed a boost. The Agency updated the phone and shipped the final asset.
Or you know... they just want to show similarities no matter your race or creed? Doesn't have to be giving gifts to one another.

I think it's more realistic that they thought nobody would fucking care about how you technically can't one click buy something for someone else. They wanted to show off a feature and religion is a good way to get clicks.
It was ambiguous. I thought the message was, "Underneath it all, we're all still human, and we struggle with the same aches and pains. We're not so different after all." Great minds think alike and such.
And I'm still not sure that's any less valid an interpretation.

Unless they in fact ordered for themselves with one-click buy, in which case they shouldn't be surprised. And if they ordered for each other and received the item themselves, wouldn't the initial reaction more properly be one of surprise that the item was presumably mis-shipped?

In Latin Rite Catholcism one may become a priest after the death of a spouse or declaration of nullity of a previously assumed marriage since the man in question is not married. He could have fathered children prior to those events.

I think you could just father a child outside of marriage and then become a priest later, as long as you repent. No need to actually get married.
That is also true, although without a lot of time in between those events there's a good chance the diocese won't accept you as a candidate simply because you're still expected to be a father to the child and everything until they're an adult

In special situations you can even transition from being an Anglican priest to being a Catholic one and retain your wife and family.
Well there is a way to be a Catholic priest and have children. If you were a minister in another faith and converted and wanted to be a priest the Church you can be although its rare.

All the songs you mentioned are really good, but I think Fly really showcases Ludovico's style and would be a good starting point for those new to his works.
Surprised not to see a mention of Experience in there. It is just such an epic and emotional track. Weirdly enough I found it as it was in the background of when old Top Gear had that black Mclaren P1 on the track in the rain. Truly cool stuff.

I just learned i giorni (the days) and I swear I hear it on a different video 3 times a week. It's also one of his few "happy" songs instead of the usual somber stuff. Although Oltremare and Ancora are a bit of both and are fun to play
God I love Einaudi. Nuvole Bianche is literally the tune that got me motivated to keep playing piano after I learnt it in January this year. I've played it almost every day for 11 months now
I got so excited when I recognized the song. Ludovico has an art of making some of the most peaceful music. Nuvole Bianche is one of my favorite songs ever.

It starts great, then you want to hear something apart from apreggios and it gets boring. Then you hear it in every advert that exists. Then someone tacks it onto a saccharine "isn't everyone great" PR piece and you never want to hear it again.
It's really not just a new payment system. It's access to an entire logistics chain with your satisfaction as the major public goal. That means payments, merchant agreements, fulfillment, delivery, returns, customer service, and a whole lot more. And all of this is done on your behalf if you fit into the demographic Amazon is good for: people with money and a desire to shop for things.
He's not wrong... Amazon's the shit. I'm honestly a little scared of how big Amazon has/will become, kind of the same way everyone disdained Walmart. Now, though... these companies better get off their asses if they want to compete with a company like Amazon.

Amazon and Google are my favorite companies. People act like Amazon isn't as innovative but they are completely wrong. Have you ever shipped a box to somebody? It costs $30-$50 and takes a week. I buy shit at Amazon and I get it in 2 days at the latest. I buy groceries at 10pm and they're sitting at my door the next morning when I wake up. The prices are generally as cheap or cheaper than alternate retailers. The other day my $200 router got stolen off my porch, and Amazon just sent me a new one. There are zero online retailers than come close to Amazon's shopping experience. And that doesn't even mention all the innovations they've done with AWS and cloud computing. The company doesn't even make money since they keep reinvesting it. I love companies like that.
Hm do you live in a major city (where most of their stuff is offered - Prime Now being the big one)? It really is awesome, especially if you don't have a car - I get 90% of things I used to buy at the store off Amazon and it shows up at my apt door in ~2-4 hours.
I wouldn't actually want to work at Amazon due to the bad reputation they have as an employer (both the warehouses and their corporate site have some fairly scathing editorials written about them if you google), but the service itself is spot on and for better or worse there's no competitor that gets close right now.

I just feel like you're the last person to seem like a shill. I believed your comment because Amazon actually manages to deliver on the stuff you listed. Their customer service is top notch. I feel like anyone who has an experience with their customer service would agree.
At my company we use AWS. At home I shop with Amazon. There is no limit to my admiration for what the company is capable of right now. On both fronts they're simply killing it.
I've worked for retail operations before and I know just how hard Amazon is killing it in that space. I've always worked in software engineering, and I especially know how hard Amazon is killing it there.
It's funny to me when I see Amazon advertisements, it's almost like seeing advertisements for Google. C'mon guys, I don't need any convincing.
I'm a person with very little money who doesn't like to shop, but I've saved a couple thousand dollars since the birth of my youngest on auto delivery of diapers/pull-ups/baby wipes alone because of the discounts. Not to mention no late night or unexpected diaper runs.

I'll take a wild guess and say that's probably the reason why you have very little money.

If it makes you feel better I have never taken a dime in state or federal aid, am fully employed, am a home owning taxpayer, etc. I have two children, college education for them, and retirement to save for. So no, I don't have much money to play with.

I was a little confused about this too. 1-Click shopping has to have been around at least what, 5 years? And it's actually on a lot of websites now. PrimeNow is still their big 'newish' thing and I've been using it at least 1-2 years.

It's possible to approve of the message of an ad without being a 'consumer whore'. Amazon could have advertised their new system in a variety of different ways, but they those this one. This ad is, of course, manipulative just like every other ad. But it also appeals to a pathos of openness and love that pleases me.
Every form of media both shapes and reflects the culture of a society and advertisements are no different. Get over yourself mate.

You wouldn't even have to actually attend the college if you weren't planning on it. You could apply at a local CC just for the free email address if you really wanted Prime student.
edit: If you are attending a CC though, check and see if they offer some sort of fee waiver. Here in California, if you're over 25 and living on your own, there's a Board of Governors fee waiver that you can apply for that'll waive all your enrollment fees. I know I've started to go off topic, but it's worth looking into in case your state offers anything similar, if you're thinking of attending college.

Never had that happen to me, in fact I ordered something this month and selected standard shipping, as it said it would arrive on my day off then, while express shipping would arrive a day earlier, which was a busy day for me, so I wouldn't have been home for that.
It ended up arriving a day earlier than it said it would with express shipping. Missed the delivery, but got my order 2 days early.
Point is Amazon delivers really damn fast (at least in germany) and as long as you don't order from a third party you are pretty much guaranteed to get your parcel by the time their estimation says.

The driver of innovation is science. Corporations take scientists' innovations repackage them to marketable lowest common denominator products, exploit some third world country kid to manufacture them and then sell them for a big profit to their first world brainwashed consumers.
Science is the catalyst for innovation not the motivator. Throughout history innovations have always been motivated by either war, profit, or survival. Science in of itself is not a benevolent cause for humanity, it is simply a tool to reach a goal. Someone has to pay for the research after all. There will always need to be a return on that investment for it to be worthwhile, profit or otherwise.
Scientists are getting paid like shit compared to what they offer. Believe it or not the betterment of humanity and good ol' competition can be motivators too. As for who has to pay there are always organizations who do, universities and the government come to mind for example. Did you know that most of the pharmaceutical research is being funded by the government?
I can see that we're never going to agree here since as a socialist I believe all companies are inherently exploitative.
It all comes down to this point you made:
Businesses themselves do not have morals like people do (people running them have morals or the lack of).
Businesses exist solely to generate profit and ultimately an ever increasing profit year on year. This means that their goals will never align with the morality of the rest of the community. If they are given the option between doing the moral thing or doing the profitable thing they will always choose the profitable thing. On occasion they will do the "moral" thing but only when they are sure people are watching and only because they expect it to generate future profit from being an "ethical company". Inevitably they will always seek to recoup the losses of being ethical through some unseen manner be it exploiting tax loopholes or exploiting the workers and environment somewhere else along the chain.
In the ambulance example you gave you neglect to mention the fact that a public ambulance could provide the same service at much lower cost. Whilst the ambulance may have saved their lives they are now indebted thousands or tens of thousands to them.
My issue lies in the fact that I believe the exploitation of the poor and the environment isn't necessary because the economy could be molded in such a way that organisations exist and provide services without a monetary motive. There by eliminating the flow of money/goods/resources from the poor to the wealthy simply for its own sake. While also being able to eliminate the destruction we see in our environment because without a monetary motive there is no reason for an organisation to pollute and destroy the earth which we all inhabit.

In a time with all the chaos and hatred, especially with the recent election it's nice to see a bit of unity... Even though it's only a commercial it's a step in the right direction in my eyes.
If you are a prime member and they miss the guaranteed delivery window at all, you can call Amazon and ask if their is anything they can do to compensate for this and they will offer you an additional free month of prime on your account or a $5 Amazon credit. (And if you paid extra for same day delivery they'll refund that bit as well of course.) However, I agree it's annoying they frequently miss their delivery window if you order same day shipping (although I haven't had the issue with two day) and I wish I didn't have to waste time calling each time, it should be an automatic button I press in my account to alert that the guarantee wasn't met.
Well I know is I ordered a comic book and it never came even though it showed as delivered so I called them and they resent it and I got it almost right away then several weeks later the same book came in again. The postal worker told me they're not doing a great job and I can see that.
Haha that happened to me too... I got a pack of copic pens and I didn't get them so Amazon sent another and then I ended up getting the original set later on. But I can't complain about that because I'm too excited about my free pens.
No actually, anything below a threshold, I'm not sure what the dollar value is, they don't want it back. I don't remember what they call it some kind of returnless return or something. They've sent me the wrong thing on different occasions and they asked me to keep it or donate the item AND they refunded me. I'm sure if it was an expensive item or was to an individual seller you should return it. But if it's from Amazon they usually have you keep it instead of process the small return! I call and ask.
Yeah if a duplicate is received and the customer calls then we do thank them but we do usually have them send one of the items back. Giving out free stuff like that all the time does not bode well for business.
One of my religion professors is a member of a Christian and Muslim scholar organization. I guess they meet and discuss scholarship and social issues. Sounded like a friendly thing from the stories he told me.

why can't more people be like this? Especially the religious?
What we see of the intolerant and hateful side of religion is what gets sensationalized in media, goes viral online, or gets pumped up for drama. The vast majority of most religious people actually are kind and understanding folks.
There are plenty of compassionate Republicans, buddy. They're not a death squadron or something--I don't have time to get into it, but merely throwing social services at people isn't the only way government can serve its people properly.
but gutting the funding for social services across the board is evil. there is no way to justify the way Republicans ( and by association most American Christians) gut social programs repeatedly. The U.S. spends far less (percentage) than all other western democracies and still republicans will continue gutting until the safety net has been entirely eroded. Meanwhile, its high-fives and cigars over on wall street, where they are deciding which toxic assets to bundle up and sell off to some unsuspecting schlub trying to build a retirement. But, when that shit goes belly up, Republicans are all lined up to give those ass-hats a safety net.
See, the difference between you and me is that I don't think it's "evil" to act out of rational self interest. If everyone did that, we'd have a pretty darn good democracy going. I prefer a tax cut to more bloated bureaucracy and a robust system of job-creation incentives, and I believe the Republicans are more fair than the Democrats are in that regard. I'm self-employed; do you have any idea how much I pay toward that "social safety net"? More than is reasonable, in my opinion.
And I'm not going to go ahead and call anyone "evil" for disagreeing with me, because that's both a dick move and a lie. They're simply doing what they think is best.
I'm all for taking some burden off of the true small Businesses out there. But if you think that means deregulating wall street and giving incentives to the industry that donates the most money to the Super-PAC supporting the candidate (that the candidate totally has nothing to do with /s), then you are naive.
Quite frankly no American is taxed enough. especially the people that are deriving their money from investments. The capital gains rate is a joke. Living in a civilized world costs money, real fucking money. It is cheaper to help people when they need help than it is to incarcerate them when they inevitably turn to crime after seeing no other way to continue living.
Don't lecture me about running your own business. I own two small businesses now, and have in the past owned one other. If you cant make enough of a profit to also set some aside for the general improvement of our society then you aren't making enough money to operate, period.
Edit: so really the difference between you and me is I call the actions of evil people evil, and you go along with it because you think it will put a few more dollars in your pocket.

Someone voting a certain way does speak to their biases and life experiences, but it doesn't necessarily speak to hate. I mean, if you voted for Grand Wizard of the KKK, you're racist, but voting for someone who simply exists in a similar universe to that doesn't necessitate overt racism. Maybe something subtle, but as a liberal in a family of conservatives, I know for a fact that my relatives aren't bad people. They are kind and understanding 99% of the time. My parents, for example, were totally cool with me going to a mosque for my friend's graduation party. Are they fervent supporters of LGBT rights? No, but as their child, I have to take the good with the bad. And what I've found is that the good outweighs the bad.

Then when a news piece shows up of religious people doing something good especially if they're Muslim everyone bitches about it.
no theyre really not. They're ignorant and closed minded believing that everyone else is ignorant and closed minded for not seeing the Truth. They believe that they will burn in hell for all eternity and that is just.
Religion is not a "lets do nice things for people" club, its a "lets make sure we dont end up with all those other idiots in a pit of fire" club.
I say this as someone who was brought up in a christian family and knows a lot of buddhists, muslims. They're all (vast, vast majority like 90%+), in it for themselves. They believe in all earnesty that you infidels will get your just deserts, and they will smile smugly while it happens
Definitely don't want to make assumptions about your experiences. I had a similar upbringing, but realized that it wasn't faith/religion that fostered hatred - rather rural lifestyle/isolationism that never exposed my family to diversity. I was fortunate enough to engage with many supportive, kind, and selfless church-goers once I moved to a city.
Not trying to convince you or change your mind, just sharing that in my experience "most people" depends on which group of people you look at.
Yes. So so a lot of people. Which is why his "the vast majority of religious people are intolerant" is fucking stupid

You need to listen to what im saying instead of what you think I'm saying. The reason Catholics are more left-wing is because they live in the city. People from the city are more liberal. Also Catholics came from Western Europe in the last century due to immigration policies made by liberal governments. It's not a surprise that most Catholics are liberal/progressives.

What? The fact is the majority of Catholics are concentrated in urban areas because they immigrated from Western Europe (Germany, Scotland, Italy, Ukraine, Poland) in early-mid 20th century, largely due to immigration policies enacted by liberal governments.
All I'm saying is this is the reason why they're more progressive on social issues.
I wish this wasn't downvoted so much. I left Christianity when I was 18 because of bad experiences, including parochial school K-8. I don't think he/she is trying to say "not vast majority, more like most", they're just trying to say maybe there aren't as many as you think...

Hi, baseless and uneducated opinion.
Religion and religious beliefs are objectively correlated with what the modern world considers hostile, unkind, generally backwards beliefs.
You can say "kind" and "understanding" if you are attempting to credit religion with basic human empathy found in all demographics, non-religious included...
But the reasons many people tie religious beliefs to bigoted stigmas in those communities are well proven.
There is a difference between not being prejudiced -- i.e., if you are highly religious, I will not assume that you as an individual are a bigot, even if highly religious people are statistically more likely to be so -- and blatantly ignoring clear statistics.
I can't believe I'm getting into this, but a religious person can have different political views than you and still be kind and understanding.
blatantly ignoring clear statistics.
You gave one statistic. And it wasn't even a good one. "The more you go to church the more you begin to align your beliefs with the bible". Huh. Sounds interesting. Has no one else met a christian that has voted against same sex marriage yet still loves those LGBT people?

Do you need it to be about Homosexuality in general, and not about Gay Marriage specifically?
How about protecting the environment? Does it make you feel awesome, knowing religious faith is correlated to lower interest in protecting the environment?
Exactly how many bigoted beliefs that are more predominant in religious populations, do you need to have dragged across your face?
You think something being in the bible makes it an acceptable belief? Do you wear wool & cotton blends, heathen? When you put an inanimate idea, like "the sanctity of marriage", over the wants and comfort of human beings, just because it's in the bible... do you feel kind?
You think somebody attempting to discourage me from my sexual orientation loves me as much as someone who isn't? Are you really trying to argue this?
I can't believe that you're actually trying to hobble on in this one-legged position your religious friends have put you in, by being bigots at rates in grand excess of the general population.

What I'm saying is that someone can have different views than you and still be loving. Like what this commercial was trying to show. People can put aside their differences and love people.
It doesn't seem like you're going to budge on your views, which is a shame because there are lots of wonderful religious people out there. Give them a chance before you put them in this bigoted box.
What I'm saying is that someone can have different views than you and still be loving.
If that was what you were trying to say, you're really really fucking bad at trying to say things.
But it wasn't what you were trying to say. You're just full of shit, and backpedaling now that you've been proven wrong. What you were trying to say was very clear:
The vast majority of most religious people actually are kind and understanding folks.
It's objectively demonstrable that religious groups are less kind and less understanding in almost all applicable fields, when compared to the general population. As was demonstrated in my previous post.

My views are irrelevant. They are statistical facts. If you are attempting to draw conclusions about religious populations/people in aggregate, which is what you attempted to do, the facts only point in one direction.
Give them a chance before you put them in this bigoted box.
I do not put any individual in a box. For every rule, there are exceptions. But the rule in religious populations, is that they are objectivelyless kind, less understanding.

You're basing this off of one statistic. [Edit: I see that you've edited in more stats] You're literally saying that non religious people are more kind because of the fact that religious people don't agree with homosexuality. That's a ridiculous claim. There are kind and unkind people regardless of whether they're religious or not. You're giving stats on things that are more liberal/democratic ideas and religious people are generally more conservative/republican. On the government supporting the poor, I could give you a list of religious charities if you'd like.
But the rule in religious populations, is that they are objectively less kind, less understanding.
Get off your high horse bud.

why can't more people be like this?
This is actually closer to the norm. Today, people often only hear about the bad things religious people do.
I have opinions x, y, and z. I have a few friends and associates with opposite opinions a, b, and c. I think that those particular people are OK myself but all the other people who believe in a, b, and c are a bunch of crazy dangerous weirdos.
Well, this was over 20 years ago, but it does still apply. Sure, news stations have the "human interest stories", but they're mostly stuff that is abnormal. Car chases, murders, corruption, etc. That isn't to say there is some fucking blatant shilling, but still.
Homosexuality is bad. It changes the dynamic of relationships and now marriage away from its intended purpose of raising a family in a good environment. The destruction of the family unit has wreaked havoc on modern society. Look at the unemployment rates for people who had 2 parent, single parent, and now gay parent homes. There are real world consequences to your ideology. The biggest example is in the black community. Would you believe they were doing better relative to Whites before LBJs great welfare (i.e. become a single mother, it'll be fine) schemes? It's true. Leftist ideology is responsible for millions suffering in poverty today. But of course that's great because it means big government can swoop in to save the day. Great for leftist politicians, not you or me.
Hey, uh fuck on off with that bullshit. All of the studies that have come out about the effects of being raised by gay parents have proven that there is zero proven link between growing up in a home with gay parents. The kids come out exactly the same from a success and psychological standpoint as kids from parents who are straight. It's kids with divorced parents that are more likely to be fucked up.

HAH typing out 'uh'. I bet you're a giant pussy IRL.
Compared with children raised by their married biological parents (IBF), children of homosexual parents (LM and GF):
Are much more likely to have received welfare (IBF 17%; LM 69%; GF 57%)
Have lower educational attainment
Report less safety and security in their family of origin
Report more ongoing "negative impact" from their family of origin
Are more likely to suffer from depression
Have been arrested more often
If they are female, have had more sexual partners--both male and female
Children of lesbian mothers:
Are more likely to be currently cohabiting
Are almost 4 times more likely to be currently on public assistance
Are less likely to be currently employed full-time
Are more than 3 times more likely to be unemployed
Are nearly 4 times more likely to identify as something other than entirely heterosexual
Are 3 times as likely to have had an affair while married or cohabiting
Are an astonishing 10 times more likely to have been "touched sexually by a parent or other adult caregiver."
Are nearly 4 times as likely to have been "physically forced" to have sex against their will
Are more likely to have "attachment" problems related to the ability to depend on others
Use marijuana more frequently
Smoke more frequently
Watch TV for long periods more frequently
Have more often pled guilty to a non-minor offense

I know it's supposed to be a rhetorical question, but there are good reasons for it, in human psychology. It is a very basic instinct to discriminate against your 'tribe'. Useful when you live in a tribe, but deleterious to a modern society.
You literally can tell people they are in a blue group, and they will immediately develop a bias against everyone in a red group. They teach this in intro psychology courses.
I actually used to work at a church in Brooklyn where there's a strong sense of inter-faith bonding. We partner up with the local shul and other denominations to do volunteering opportunities together.
It's more likely in big cities I think, then like your average middle America suburbs, but I could be wrong.
I think you're very right. People in the city have to actually interact with other people (Even though it doesn't seem like they do). People in the suburbs and country can just act like its not as real as it is.
I am a raving atheist, but almost every priest and rabbi I have ever known is like this. The people at the center of faith based institutions that are not on TV are there because they want to bring communities together. It is rare at least in my anecdotal experience for this to not extend outside of their congregation or synagogue (or mosque - but I have not been exposed to Islam nearly as much). I think they're raving lunatics who preach harmful divisive ideologies (obviously my opinion), but I also think generally they are very well intentioned, and probably try to do more good than harm.

I also liked this advertisement.

I'm not against religion. I am a modern baptist(everything the same but I don't mind alcohol) christian that reads the Bible and Quran, and I can see where low literacy rates and some insecurity creates monsters inside of people.

Ive had great welcoming and understanding priests growing up. they were invisible pillars of the community, who were not afraid to speak with and welcome other faiths, and beliefs without judgement. The ones you hear and see are the ones doing it wrong.
"The state was committed to the destruction of religion, and destroyed churches, mosques and temples, ridiculed, harassed, incarcerated and executed religious leaders, flooded the schools and media with atheistic teachings, and generally promoted atheism as the truth that society should accept."
...it's not just the religious that can go totally crazy. All over America right now there are people simultaneously saying "Fuck white people" in one breath, and "we need to stop judging people by their skin color" in the other, and the vast majority of those people are atheist.
Full disclosure, I'm an atheist, but I don't think that makes me better than any of my religious friends. Live and let live.
it has been my experience (I'm an Atheist that grew up in a semi religious Methodist household) that there are a great many truly religious people (Priests, Pastors, Imams, Rabbis, etc) that are this way. They are often drowned out by a vocal minority that end up giving religion a bad name. I don't think most religious types are assholes directly but rather by association with the aforementioned dick-faces. at least that's my opinion, feel free to tell me I'm an idiot
Because some people believe that being gay is punishable by death, and females are subservient and less than. Islam at its core will never mesh with the western world.
Some christians also believe being gay is punishable by death, and females are subservient and less than. Does that mean the whole of christianity will never mesh with the western world?
Some christians also believe being gay is punishable by death,
Not really, there might be less than 10 people in Christianity who think that. It also doesn't say homosexuality is punishable by death in the Bible, it does say something to that liking in the Qur'an though. It advocates stoning homosexuals, and it does on multiple occasions.
Dude, there's 5 in my city alone. 3 of them already participating in anti gay parades/protests or what have you. Or are you expecting me to only name famous people to try to prove your point?
How do you know they think gays should be put to death? It doesn't say it in the bible at all, and its not a christian principle. So why are you calling it a christian principle?
Because they've said so. They have no problem with telling people how they think someone has "sinned" and deserve to die and burn in hell for going against god. And, I never said it was a Christian principle, I'm just saying there are people who think this way who also happen to be Christian. I'm an atheist so I couldn't care less.

Right. This couldn't be made up at all, not a chance lol.

Okay, so you're just picking one random trait to pair with a clearly negative belief? I know people who think people the moon landing never happened, and they live in California...therefore everyone in California thinks the moon landing didn't happen?
I'm an atheist so I couldn't care less.
Why is this relevant? You seem concerned about the physical nature of the belief, i.e., what they say, and who they say it towards.
You know there's an extreme point of view for MANY MANY things in this world? You can find just about any extremist you want out there, and I find it interesting you enjoy highlighting one religion. I get it, American atheist absolutely hate christianity, and its popular to hate on the dominant religion of the country. Fact is, of course christianity has its issues, but so does atheism, and so does islam. At his point in time, islam in some corners of the world is igniting radical acts of violence whether you admit that or not. Pointing the finger at christianity doesn't deal with the issue of organized violence amongst large groups rooted in islamic beliefs.
I don't know where you're getting all this. Am I not allowed to point out that your specific comment was wrong? I'm now a Christian hating atheist? Lol calm down.

I'd estimate that the percentage of people who publicly endorse those beliefs make up about .1% of the population in America and the fact that it is shamed in our culture goes to show what our collective opinion is. I'd then take a guess that a majority of muslims outside of western civilization believe and practice this hatred daily. Why else would it literally be a crime punishable by death in countries that are officially muslim?
EDIT: .1% is too generous. I'd say it's about 2-7 thousand people out of a country of 300+ million. But when you compare the overall percentage of those who publicly support shariah law, the oppression of infidels, and the killing of gays in the muslim world, even a percentage of 1-10% is still potentially hundreds of millions of people. And that's just the people who were surveyed, who usually live in large cities where people are typically more liberal.

Now that I found out that's not true I don't plan on continuing that, but I'm still not going to research every single little fact about someone I don't like.
For example, if you heard that Stalin used to torture people with a cattle prod in his free time for the hell of it, would you actually question it and look it up to verify? Probably not (at least I wouldn't) because it fits his character and you don't care enough about the subject to check.
Yes, I am an ass, which in no way invalidates my point. The bible is a piece of evil tripe full of murder, misogyny, hatred and like the Quran requires unquestionable devotion to a litany of stupid rules that make no sense at risk of horrible punishment, including stoning and eternal torture in an afterlife...
Mmmmmm, mmm....i get just all warm and fuzzy with all the love.
The one thing you can say about people with Downs...they don't actually choose to be fucking retarded, unlike yourself. In this day and age, with all the resources available to you, there's no excuse to be that fucking uneducated...yet for some reason you choose to revel in your ignorance. The only way to see your point of view would be to shove my head up my ass. I can't argue with stupid. Continuing to respond to you would be just banging my head against a wall (although doing so might level the playing field i guess).
I totally get what you're saying. But to imply the West is right and Islam is Wrong is a slipperey slope that our culture has been sliding down for quite some time. Islam has a lot of beautiful things. As a guy who believes Jesus's teachings, I highly suggest reading Rumi. He is essentially lead the original Islam-Mystic movement.
As an average consumer and member of the general population, I also could see myself posting something like this while enjoying a nice Dr Pepperโข. Just because someone enjoys drinking Dr Pepperโข and posting a video of a neat commercial doesn't mean they're trying to promote their corporate business. I mean come on, all of a sudden we can't share our love of all 23 flavors without being accused of pandering? Sheesh.

I don't think the intention is necessarily to criticize advertising, but rather to make people aware of just how pervasive advertising is.

And there we have it, the same myth repeated here folks.
All Muslims must give mandatory 2.5% of income to charity. Non-Muslims are exempt from this under the rules of an actual Islamic state. Instead, non-Muslims must pay a tax, and that money is to be spent on their community INCLUDING the maintenance of their houses of worship. Yes, you heard that right, Muslims are supposed to maintain and protect houses of worship of other religions. Also, by paying the tax non-Muslims are considered protected citizens and subject to equal protection under the government and courts AND exempt from the draft, plus also Muslims are expected to fight and die to protect them as they would all other citizens.

Jizya was levied on those able bodied adult non-Muslim men who didn't serve in the Muslim armies. And guess what? All able bodied adult Muslim males were conscripts for the army. So if you wanted to not pay Jizya as a non-Muslim, you'd sign up for the Muslim army (or be poor). Otherwise, jizya was a tax that exempted non-Muslims from military participation and it was also only limited to able bodied non-Muslim adult men. Women, children, elderly, the sick (either mental or physical illness), the poor, the religious clergy (monks, priests) were all exempt from paying the jizya.
Maybe you should do your research, then?
(and try to not pay taxes in your country)
As for during the time of Mohammed, he levied a tax that was equivalent to the cost of living for 10 days for the family. So, basically a rate even lower than 10/355 (lunar calendar) = 2.8% since you don't spend all that you earn. Let's round that already low number up to 5%. Paying 5% of your annual income in taxes to the Muslim state which would exempt you from military service, let you live according to your own laws, and guarantee protection against wrongdoing by internal or external forces? Sounds much better than what I pay now. But this was of course possible in a time of war when the state's coffers were filled with war booty that was used for public services.
And just in case you start citing examples of where the system didn't go according to how Mohammed practiced it, then how's Mohammed at fault? Every system in the hands of mankind has its highs and its lows. A lot of people would consider Trump becoming president a low for the electoral college system of democracy or for democracy as a whole. Similarly, Muslim rulers who overtaxed or threatened death for non-payment were not following what their own religion had ordained.
As for punishments, during the time of Mohammed, they were either imprisoned or placed under house arrest. Try to not pay your taxes in the US and see how you get punished.

It's a tax. And it's not like Muslims don't pay. When Muslims pay, it's called "Zakah". Zakah and Jizya were both very small percentages compared to the amount of tax people pay today.

okay as a Muslim i shall chime in. Muslims pay zakat. In an Islamic The only tax being given is zakat because it is part of the Muslim faith. now tell me would it be fair to tax only Muslims not the Christians and Jews living there? that would make no sense, that is why jizya is placed on non Muslims. It makes complete sense honestly.
Hey man. Muslims don't have to live to the same standards of non-discrimination as privileged white men. To suggest they should is actually really islamophobic and constitutes a hate crime. Jizya is totally halal and should be accepted in western countries too.
A racist concept. Civil rights are guaranteed to everyone, we now have laws thanks to many brave fighters in the past. When rights are taken away from a select few, that is a crime, that is not a privilege to the non afflicted party. It is a racist term used to silence people based on race. That is a racist act.
People have to live to the same standards as the society around them dictates regardless of race or religion. To suggest that they do, is not a hate crime, it is avoiding a double standard and refusing to treat people as victims and insisting on a society of equality.
Jizya is totally halal and should be accepted in western countries too.
I know the history of it, I don't know how far back you are going with the definition of this, but in no way shape or form is this ethical. Nor are any of the teachings in the Quran, Hadiths, or Sunnah. That goes for most religious texts including the Bible.
I will hang on to your comment as a sign of how outrageous the times we live in are.
Yeah, and then these people would be blamed for everything, treated like shit, subject to ethnic-cleansings along with attempted genocides every so often for land akin to some sort of Muslim Lebensraum, with the usual justification being that they were infidels/kafir/heretics.
Just look at any religious minority in the middle-east such as the Armenians, Assyrians, Yazidis, Greeks. They were ALL massacred for their religious beliefs. Lands which had been their homelands for up to 5000 years, they have been made strangers and outcasts in.
Tell meโwhat is exactly "fair" about that?
What is probably the worst part of it all, is that these people aren't even thought of or known about. Their genocides are essentially ignored by the world, whereas others such as the Holocaust are basically portrayed as if they were the worst thing to ever happen, with the name behind it all literally being used in place of the devil's name as a far graver insult. How many of you know of the Assyrian or Pontic Greek genocides? Hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children whose murders have either been forgottenโor for political reasonsโoutright denied.
Whereas the German children (and all of the western world really) are taught of what the Nazis did to the Jews, they are taught in places such as Turkey today that these genocides either "never happened", "they deserved it", or "it was not a genocide but merely an ethnic cleansing". As if that makes it any better?! They are synonymous!
How is that relevant or fair? Who was alleging that the Muslims didn't charge religious tax? Is it a point in their favor that there are a lot of people who Muslims didn't kill?
Stop what? You just wrote "To be fair" then announced a somewhat true fact about Muslims that is, so far as I can tell, unrelated. That's a weird thing to do, and I'm asking why you did it.
Need to point out the difference when it's posted to different religious subreddits:
On /r/Catholicismhere with 63% upvoted (2 points), and comments that are generally ignorant
On /r/islamhere with 86% upvoted (76 points) with all positive comments around how nice it is.
Pretty nice that the community that is usually shunned for their beliefs has taken the high road here. It's almost as though /r/Catholicism are the extremists/separatists.

Thanks for posting!
Not to try and brag or take credit, but the priest is a real-life Anglican priest (and the imam is a real imam).
This my friends is humanism - The ability to be for all humans and compassion to life.
There is no secularism to humanism, there is only compassion. If we all have different views, yet we realize we are all human - we can come together.
In before holy wars - only 7% of wars are estimated to be caused by religion
In before God doesn't exist - Do you feel better about yourself? Now join the rest of us and hold hands
This brought a tear to my eye. In this world that can be oh so rough and crappy at times, sometimes love is all we need. I thank God everyday for the love I am given and everything I recieve. God bless friend, thanks for sharing :)

This same video was also posted earlier yesterday on /r/Islam and has 215 upvotes, here is the thread for anyone interested:
That just gives companies license to be ever more invasive in advertising and commercializing our lives. Is there no life outside consumerism and business?
No it's for ads. Why are there ads being served up to r/videos? All of a sudden it's ok because it's in big letters "this is an ad"? And because amazon funds online astroturfers to spin positive PR, like "
It says it's an ad right in the title. hailcorporate is more for viral marketing where they try to pass it off as regular content.
" they're gonna get all the r/hailcorporate callouts they deserve.
That sub is one giant ad. Every submission is a link to an ad.

As a someone who used to work as a amazon delivery guy the more realistic advert would be where the guy is knocking on the door and there is no answer.

Amazon putting the pressure on the couriers that parcel have to be delivered so in most of the cases I would try leave the parcel with one of the neighbours or hide it somewhere like in the bin in front of the house.
What if you give it to the neighbors and then they just deny having it. Would you be in trouble?

You get concession then. If you got too many Amazon will simply let you go. Amazon also understand that things like this happens because basically one of 3 things can happen here:
1. Client will go to neighbour and collect his parcel and then he will report to Amazon that he didn't get the parcel.
2. Neighbour will keep parcel for himself and will tell original recipient that he received no parcel today.
3. Dishonest courier will keep parcel for himself and will mark on the device that he delivered parcel to neighbour.
When you making delivery you have to rely on your judgement. If the neighbourhood looks poor and dodgy as F you simply trying to deliver parcel later than leaving with the neighbours. There are decent areas when you will leave parcel on the front porch and no one will take it. It's also easier when customer will add some additional info regarding who leave the parcel with or where. For example: please leave the parcels on the black box behind the garage.
I saw this in the cinema and was so put off. I was fully expecting that to be the prevailing opinion, but I go online and everybody absolutely loves it?! It's so preachy and forced. I'm all for more peaceful living, but promoting that through a cheesy Christmas advert for an online retailer is ridiculous.

I seriously don't understand where you people are getting this from.
I pretty much hate all Christmas for the same reasons. I know adverts always try to tug the heartstrings, but it's dialed up to 11 at Christmas and it's goddamn nauseating.
No, because they aren't trying to force some heavy handed message down my throat under the guise of caring when it's just for profit. They're just vegetables. What an awful comparison.

No ones trying to force anything down your throat. Maybe do a bit of research before you say they're just vegetables. If you think a commercial is something to get up in arms about then maybe you should be consuming much less tv/media. You sound like the same type of person who say gay relationships are "being forced down your throat" everyday.
Holy shit, preachy twee Christmas adverts are not the same as gay rights. I'm not up in arms about it; I just hate this false pretence of caring when it's just for sales.
You see that I don't like a cheesy TV advert and so you assume I'm some kind of God-loving homophobe? You're jumping to so many conclusions and they're all wrong.
Seriously. These people acting like that was so great are ridiculous. Who is this commercial aimed at? It's not relatable to anyone whatsoever nor realistic.
What is absurd about two 60-something year old men pulling out their latest smart phones and bringing up the "Amazonโขยฉ App" to buy knee pads for one another?
This is just some stupid shit to capitalize on SJWs need to create one-ness in everyone. I saw two closet gay dudes buying either knee pads to blow each other in private in my interpretation of this. Do I have a problem with that? No! Do I have a problem with Amazon using this to pray in people who fall for this type of feel good politically correct shit?... Yes, I think it's goofier than hell. My 2 cents. Hopefully reddit is getting paid well for this ad because if not they need some knee pads also or else they're gunna be mighty sore after being a free shill for so long on it's knees.
It's really nice to see a commercial encouraging and celebrating friendship between people of different religions.
On the other hand, it's got to be a little awkward to simultaneously wish the best for each other and believe that the other will suffer eternal damnation in a firey hell.
plot twist, they are both gay and ordering someone knee pads is their secret way of asking for a blowjob. But neither one understands and so goes their ironic sexual frustration
That's a great commercial an all, but who opens their Amazon packages right at the door?

-Edit: The best part about this, is i accident;y had caps lock on. So it should have been A legitimate LOL. haha.. fuck it. This shit made me laugh so hard.
Been in since 2008. I agree. I have the Chase Amazon Visa card, 3 points per dollar on Amazon purchases. Those points will pay for my wife and I to have a second honeymoon for our 10 year anniversary. We also do the scheduled delivery thing for diapers and household stuff. We save up to 20% on those items, and I never run out of baby wipes or laundry detergent. I have zero complaints from Amazon. I don't use Prime Pantry yet though.
Something about using religion inside of advertising to further a corporate cause rubs me the wrong way.
But then again, I liked the sentiment, which was about bridging the divides between different beliefs with care for your fellow human. That is a message that I really wish more people understood and followed, so I dunno.
Not every Islamic country is extreme as KSA. No one would care if you had a Christian friend in Oman, Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan. Hell even in more extreme countries like Pakistan and Iran, the youth is tolerant of other religions.

Now consider that region is the 'root' of the religion, being where it started, where it houses the equivalent of the Catholic Vatican, and then consider the example that region sets.
And look at the things the vatican has done in the past. Except wait. The vatican did it all across Europe, not just within their own borders.
Now, with Wahabbism, Islam is starting to do the same thing (I'm muslim btw). Inshallah, Saudi's get pressured to stop this extremist exportation nonsense they're doing.
I never said Saudi was good. And whether or not this imam is being a good imam in their opinion is irrelevant, because Islam actually teaches us to respect the believers, of which that priest is one. So.

doesn't negate that Mecca and Saudi Arabia are home to many of the most authoritative figures of Islam and hold significant influence over the religion worldwide.
Mecca and Medina are the only things I would ever go to Saudi for... Most Muslims I know personally (Which is a lot, my wife's entire family in Algeria included) have no interest in moving to Saudi or even vacationing there.
I've been to Algeria and Turkey, many of them think Saudi Arabia seems scary, and archaic in the way they run their country.
I understand that Saudi is fuckin' crazy. But it's not because of Islam. They're exporting a bastardized version of Islam, wahabbism. Wahhabists don't only follow Islam, they also follow Saudi cultural rules too. Wahabism is full of cultural perversions that are not there in pure Islam (Such as the niqab, and any public exposure of ones sins; Edited because I previously said crimes).
The federalist papers were published under anonymity. Some of the most important documents that shaped our nation's founding needed to be published anonymously. There is no shame in anonymity. That is where true free speech can happen. You must be a leftist. I won't call you a liberal because classic liberals loved free speech and anonymity.

Don't try to cover your countries atrocities towards Christians, you think we're all stupid?
In year 2003: 1,500,000+ Christians
In year 2013: 200,000 Christians
Almost all Iraqi Christians have fled from Iraqi areas to the Iraqi Kurdistan. The majority of Iraqi Christians live in Iraqi Kurdistan, most of them arrived as IDPs. The vast majority simply have everything taken from them.
In Iraq, what would happen when that Priest Proselytized? OH YA, the death penalty.
I work with many Chaldean Catholics out of Detroit and have glimpsed continuous hardcore christian persecution in and by your country.
America has nothing to gain by accommodating that kind of intolerable attitude. Amazon can make their fantasy commercials and pretend playmates, it's designed to support the already brainwashed.

Actually it is not your job to reward morally praiseworthy decisions. It is your job to reward good products and cheap prices. Moral marketing is for those who don't like the realities of competition but still want to enjoy the freedom of the market.

[deleted] ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 03:43:21 on November 19, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
In what way? Don't stop your case short of the specifics. The purpose of the market is to allow competition to bolster good products that benefit consumers. The consumer should buy products that they find to be the best and at the lowest possible price. That is it. It is a simple idea. It is an economic model not a moral one. Now let's take your case, someone sees a nice heartfelt ad and goes to buy a product. What if this product was worse than better options, and more expensive, but simply had a moral message. This would be directly antithetical to the consumer's purpose; they have just now bought a worse product at a worse price.
The reason why moral marketing works is that people are not just consumers. In the marketplace they are simply purchasers; outside of the market sphere they have other needs and wants. As holistic people they have moral values they want to fulfill. Simple capitalism does not fulfill any of these. Once you attach a moral value to a product you can. However, this is not a benefit to an individual as a consumer, so as consumers they should not fall for these strategies. As people in other spheres of life, maybe, but I would argue in the long term it is harmful.
Peace is prosperous for most people. Prosperity means more consumers buying things. If enough people buy things Amazon may one day post a profitable quarter.

Or, you were in the armed forces and went to Iraq or Afghanistan or another country the US sent their military to and got shot at by people who happened to be Muslim because that happens to be their faith. Never mind that they may be opposed to your presence, not your faith.

Islam is simply not compatible with modern western values. Importing them by the millions and acting as if the scene from this ad is the norm or will ever be the norm is suicidal.

Also, don't mistake my annoyance with this ad. I'm not annoyed because I think muslims are subhuman or something. As you said, they are people, but this whitewashing of how shitty their beliefs are and how incompatible they are with western - as well as christian - values is simply dangerous misinformation.
Yes, muslims are victims of the religion they were born into, sure, but that realization doesn't help in the slightest with the problem we are facing, of a clash of western values with a barbaric religion/ideology/political system.

Since you insist on acting like a petulant child: I thought I'd grade your entire shittastic gish gallop response. You should be familiar with the format (and likely, the grade).
Just a couple quick points...
WWII survivors warning us of the parallels
I'm sure you're probably not talking about Kitty Werthmann but you should be talking about her.
Irony here is that not single email showed any wrongdoing

The irony here is that I'm actually a Teacher (college level political science) and you must not have any experience grading or even getting grades. Also I think it's you who needs to look up the definition of Facism my ignorant bitch esp since you thin Trump stocking his cabinet with white supremacist is a false equlivancy. Your more likely you don't know what that means. But you won't I'm mean you dumb enough to think liberals want to take you guns.
Pro tip: when using a big word you've never seen before you should probably look it, misusing words is a neon sign pointing to your stupidity.
It's always nice to put a professional title to the mouthpiece.
Funny thing: I had an instructor just like you during my brief stint at my local Community College (before moving on to, you know, a real college). I would stay quiet during most of his clearly partisan rantings. He was also guilty of false equivalencies like yours: frequently equating right wing extremists (who happen to be Christian) to Islamic extremists, VA benefits to "socialism" and 2A support to criminal negligence.
As often as I disagreed with his views, and made those disagreements known through the papers I wrote for that class- miraculously, I still got an "A".
Your more likely you don't know what that means. But you won't I'm mean you dumb enough to think liberals want to take you guns.
Look at you. I mean seriously, look at that hot mess!
You're so angry, you're losing your grip on the English language. We're in a sorry state of affairs when our "scholars" struggle to abide by even the most basic of grammatical standards. Shameful. Let me guess, "you're on your phone".
(no excuse: so am I)
it's you who needs to look up the definition of Facism
F-a-S-c-i-s-m.
Fascism is one of those funny words which always manages to come out whenever someone disagrees with any authority figure. It was out for Obama. Bush, and now Trump.
The word means almost nothing and can be (and often is) applied to either side of the political spectrum.
Oddly enough, the only points of historical reference for practical fascism exists almost exclusively on the left (here's where you incorrectly tell me Hitler was "right wing", citing his nationalist tendencies).
Nevertheless, "fascist" is useless and ineffective as a pejorative. It's the loudest way to scream - "I have no facts at my disposal- here's an insult." It's akin to using words like "racist" "sexist" "homophobe" to silence dissent - there's no bite anymore.
you thin Trump stocking his cabinet with white supremacist is a false equlivancy.
No. I think identifying his past actions (the ones most frequently cited) and equating them to the actions of a "white supremacist" is absurdly dishonest. A false equivalency (copy down the spelling in case you need to use that word again, you're making my eyes hurt).
ignorant bitch
That's adorable.

Ah the Community College "instructor".
No an R1 and the title is professor, I'd put my PhD up against your Associates any day.

No it's right wing authoritarianism, I mean you could google but I suppose that too much an effort for you.
Oddly enough, the only points of historical reference for practical fascism exists almost exclusively on the left.
No Hitler was on the right, you cant ignore facts. You know like killing communist, outlawing labor unions, using state power to advance corporate interest. If you think Facism is a leftist ideal you need to pull your head out of ass and learn how to read.
No. I think identifying his past actions (the ones most frequently cited) and equating them to the actions of a "white supremacist" is absurdly dishonest.
Now that's a pile of bullshit. Yes calling someone out for being a bigot based on their past actions is a false equlivancy. Tell me more.

I doubt you have a PhD, but if you do? You were fucking cheated.
You certainly argue like an Associate's holder. Maybe you've been debating with too many gender studies triggerables during your tenor. It's easy to win debates if your lecture halls are filled with sycophants depending on your approval for a good grade.
My 2nd year daughter can likely debate you under the table. If you're representative of the best the left has to offer at this point, your side is in severe trouble.
No it's right wing authoritarianism, I mean you could google but I suppose that too much an effort for you.
That's a ridiculous oversimplification. Extreme right wing would lean far more into anarchy than 'fascism' would allow.
Contrarily, fascism is empirically more often the result of failed socialism/communism.
A key tenet of fascism includes violence. I encourage you to do some googling of your own and see the origins of real violence regarding this election cycle.
You won't.
So far we've ticked 2 ideological checkboxes in the 'left' column.
It hasn't escaped me that you ignored my challenge to link video evidence of violence from "Pro-Trump" folks. I would do the same for "Anti-Trump" people.
calling someone out for being a bigot based on their past actions is a false equlivancy. Tell me more.
Robert Byrd what?
"Bring them to heel" what?
"I'm only going to talk to the white people" what?
Aside from the OBVIOUS cognitive dissonance required to even make that statement, what can you point to from any of the proposed appointments which comes close to proving the person in question is a "bigot". Let's start talking specifics here.
You can't I require my students to be literate.
How clever of you, considering you're barely literate yourself.
Now here's the reality of why you won't:
You're either scared of making these clearly distorted world views public and revealing your bias.
Or you're lying.

oh look another typo. And you're wrong - the right loves themselves some authoritarianism.

Yeah, the Trump Monkeys
So far we've ticked 2 ideological checkboxes in the 'left' column.
You've ticked no boxes. Here Facism now all you have to do is read - a challenge I know.
Robert Byrd what?
Perhaps you're not aware of this so let me educate you about some history.
See the south had been since the end of the civil war solid Democrat. But when northern Democrats started supporting the civil rights movement southern dems got really pissed off and it fractured the party.
Here is where Nixon's southern strategy comes in see he knew that playing to these racists they'd flip to the Republican party. Making them the party of racist
Byrd was an old southern Democrat

again another typo from mr. literate here. No it's because it would reveal to you who I am and I don't want your jackbooted thugs doxing me or threatening my family. Besies how are you going to audit classes from poduck bumfuckastan
oh and btw - I have several students tell me how fair my lectures are to both sides.

I have to say you're starting to sound more and more familiar by the second.. That's some neat revisionist stuff right there. It's certainly a convenient way to pretend the Democratic party has been the one to champion civil rights.
Too bad for you that there are an equal number of legitimate professors undoing this myth outside of the community college you call(ed) home.
Besies how are you going to audit classes from poduck bumfuckastan
Upstate NY is bumfuckastan?
That's new.

Coward. Easy to call a bunch of people some of the worst names in the book behind your veil of anonymity.
It's shameful that you stand in front of a classroom with the intent of sliding your revisionist bullshit into the young minds of PAYING Americans.
I don't want to dox you. I want you to admit that your failed campaigns and even further, your failed academic endeavours have finally proven that you don't have nearly the persuasive influence you think you do. Even here, where you have the full resources of the internet at your disposal, you can't seem to directly confront a single point.
I give you wikileaks as a source, you give me the proven discredited media outlets the public has the LEAST amount of trust in.

So you are ignorant. LBJ passed the civil rights act. LBJ was picked as JFK's VP because he was from the south.
You're either being willfully ignorant or maybe you are this stupid but if you think the Republican's pushed for the civil rights movement there is no hope for you.
Why don't you read about the southern strategy instead of runing your ignorant mouth off.
Upstate NY is bumfuckastan?
Some parts are for sure
It's shameful that you stand in front of a classroom with the intent of sliding your revisionist bullshit into the young minds of PAYING Americans.
You're the one engaging in revisionist history there hoss.

No I've addressed them not my fault you can't read. Though I do enjoy how you drop the points I've proven you wrong on.
I give you wikileaks as a source, you give me the proven discredited media outlets the public has the LEAST amount of trust in.
No you gave me some bullshit propaganda. I gave you actual news, Wikipedia, oh and simple google search.
But hey who am I with my PhD to know more than you and drunken uncles facebook posts. You just dismiss every actual piece of evidence as 'biased' without engaging it.
I sure do you hope your minimum wage job and life as a useful idiot.
So you are ignorant. LBJ passed the civil rights act. LBJ was picked as JFK's VP because he was from the south.
Oh, I'm sorry. Was that an executive action on behalf of LBJ?
Wait.. No? Legislative?
Oh.. and what were the votes in the House?
How about the Senate?
That's what I thought.
You're the one engaging in revisionist history there hoss.
You can keep calling me cute little names like 'hoss'. You can call me ignorant, racist, bigoted - whatever. But the fact is, the reason you have lost public support on your side is because you've become far more arrogant than learned. I used to think the hard right was out of touch (and for a while, they were). I thought they were full of luddites and hardliners.
The truth is, it's now you all, who are out of touch. You're now the hardliners. You're no longer the gatekeepers of information.
The public has finally realized that sources don't need to work themselves through an institution for their information to be disseminated. We don't need to take Rachel Maddow's word that someone is a racist. We don't need CNN's permission to view wikileaks documents.
And we sure as fuck don't need an ex political hack, teaching at a university to feed us his version of the truth.
You're dealing with a vastly different audience these days. We check source's sources. We look at original context. We view the subtext. We are the new gatekeepers. We will ultimately decide if those hiding in the shielded ivory towers of academia are worthy of our money.
Ever so slowly, we are deciding you are irrelevant.
I gave you actual news
You don't get to decide what's worthy of that title. It's amusing to watch you all try though. These past few days of reading proposed censorship of "fake news" has been illuminating.
You just dismiss every actual piece of evidence as 'biased' without engaging it.
Because when I asked you a question, you gave me an opinion piece. WaPo and NYT are arms of the DNC. Deny it. I fucking dare you.
I sure do you hope your minimum wage job and life as a useful idiot.
Being a career professor is the last resort in every profession and industry in America. Don't hold up your social sciences degree as anything other than a way to escape the real world by hiding out in academia. You're no Rhodes Scholar. I don't give a fuck what your degree says.
Way to denigrate minimum wage workers though. Keep making your party and profession proud, dipshit.

The original House version:

I used to think the hard right was out of touch (and for a while, they were). I thought they were full of luddites and hardliners.

You're now the hardliners. You're no longer the gatekeepers of information.
we never were, but you've demonstrated over and over again that you're willing to reject fact for make believe bullshit.

There not, I'm sorry if reality has a liberal bias. I'm also sorry you can't distinguish between news and opinion pieces. So since you're bragging about check source's sources. We look at original context. why don't you look at senate hearings on Jeff Sessions confirmation hearing for his judgeship, you know where he was rejected for being racist. Or you know you could look at articles written by Bannon or hey you read Flyn's own words when talks about Muslims. Unless their own words are somehow biased, is that right?

No its was my first choice, get to own my means of production, have a flexible schedule, get research what I want, teaching is mostly fun, pays very well.
You're no Rhodes Scholar. I don't give a fuck what your degree says.
No I'm not a Rhodes Scholar but you know who is Rachel Maddow whom you disparaged. And I know you don't give a fuck what my degree says, that's your problem you think you know more and your like a little kid playing with power tools.

I absolutely understand how many years you've spent seeking clever ways to inject your narrative and bias into your lesson plans.
I'm mean you could do those things
I have. What have you given me? NYT and WaPo.
Let's not forget: the onus of proof is, and remains, on you- you're the one making the accusations. The links you gave me supplied me with an editor's opinion on why those allegations are true.
I'm not clicking on those links for 2 reasons:
because I refuse to give their page any hits
because their coverage is biased and have been shown to be in collusion with the DNC
You fellow country bumpkins
You keep repeating that trope. Such a weak attempt at elitism. If you could only see how foolish you appear from my side of this platform.
reality has a liberal bias
...said every poll and MSM outlet on November 7th. "How could we get this so wrong?"
reality has a liberal bias.
Well you certainly tried to make it so.
why don't you look at senate hearings on Jeff Sessions confirmation hearing for his judgeship, you know where he was rejected for being racist. Or you know you could look at articles written by Bannon or hey you read Flyn's own words when talks about Muslims. Unless their own words are somehow biased, is that right?
I have. I don't see a single thing wrong with anything that any of them have said.
I understand the context of Sessions' statements.
Flyn's words don't bother me either, because as a vet - I understand the context in which he made those statements. If you had been to the places that man has been you would likely feel the same. Furthermore, I agree with his apprehension regarding Muslims. Islam doesn't exist overseas like you see it in the US. It is absolutely "rational" to fear them in the context of importing more of them from the regions we are bringing them from.
Lastly: Bannon- this is the most ABSURD of all the claims you folks have made. Please quote me a convincing piece of evidence that he should be viewed as a bigot or white nationalist. IN HIS OWN WORDS.
As in a transcript or in a video with full context.
I'm not going to show up to your Farm and assume I can feed your chickens, mend that fence and copulate with family members as well as you.

What narrative is that you're can't just look at dem/rep that was prior to the realignment. But hey your simple little mind can't handle nuance and complexity.
Haha. right.
Popular vote asshole. Oh wait I bet you think you won that too
You keep repeating that trope. Such a weak attempt at elitism. If you could only see how foolish you appear from my side of this platform.
Elitism no but if it makes you feel better about being an idiot to disparage people who did something with their lives - sure.
...said every poll and MSM outlet on November 7th. "How could we get this so wrong?"
And... Oh you think reporting that Clinton would win is liberal bias. Cause voters wouldn't stay home and not vote if they think it's in the bag.
And because you don't understand polling you think those were biased too. See this is where education would come in handy.
I have. I don't see a single thing wrong with anything that any of them have said. I understand the context of Sessions' statements.
So did the Senate when they refused to confirm him racist ass, but hey keep showing you ignorance hoss.

Translation: you're biased, have no idea what he actually said, and have no clue about Islam but you'll let your bigotry play right into the hands of ISIS.
Lastly: Bannon- this is the most ABSURD of all the claims you folks have made. Please quote me a convincing piece of evidence that he should be viewed as a bigot or white nationalist. IN HIS OWN WORDS.
Oh that's right you ignored it cause it the NYT even though the article is just a list of racist shit Bannon has written in his words.

It's not complex. It's actually relatively simple. Your job security relies on convincing everyone that it's complex, but I'm not buying it. As an increasing number of incoming millennials start waking up, your classes are going to be filled with people just like me.
If your revision is complex to you, it's because it's confounded and half baked. Even if there were a shred of truth to it, the only reason to continue to teach it is to demonize a political party which has largely been cycled out anyway.

You're like a wounded deer. You're determined to run around until you bleed out, making a mess of everything in the process.
don't think I haven't noticed that once I've schooled your ass on the facts you've turned completely to personal attacks.
You haven't proven your original accusations at all. You've provided links showing me that someone else shares your opinion.
I provided solid evidence why the sources you provided are at best compromised; at worst, propaganda arms of the DNC.
If linking someone else's shared opinion is the metric by which you measure the accuracy of all your theories, it's no wonder you're stuck in academia, taking your frustrations out on redditors in your spare time.
I've already proven my points. You have failed to address them satisfactorily. Continue to ignore them at your peril. Their existence is far more significant than some hack's idea of revisionism. My proof has a staying power that extends far beyond winning a silly reddit debate. My proof is at least in part, responsible for winning an election.
My proof likely has the ability to win every foreseeable election in the next 20 years- or however long it takes for you all to wake up and address the problems it raises.
It's amusing to watch you dismiss WikiLeaks so flippantly while shitting on anyone with a sense of intellectual objectivity. Exactly the type of objectivity you're claiming is needed to accept your own premise. I've been studying the Podesta emails and verifying veracity fairly extensively for as long as WL has been releasing them. Unless you've been doing the same, you're in no position to dismiss me.
You can keep throwing your education in my face, but the fact of the matter is: you only have around 4 more years of formal education than me.
I called it, you're a just a relic of the past; throwing tantrums in a childish attempt to justify your worth.

People coming into college are not millennials at this point. millennials being 1980-1995.

I see so according to the south was not solidly Democrat for 100 years following the Civil War, The Southern Democrats (aka dixeycrats) didn't get disillusioned with their party and bolt and Nixon never pursued a southern strategy. good to know.
More projection. Literally all you do is fling as much shit to see how much will stick. It's somewhat entertaining watch you get all flustered and verbally flail about.

You haven't proven your original accusations at all. You've provided links showing me that someone else shares your opinion.
Not my fault you can't tell the difference between opinion and fact
I've already proven my points. You have failed to address them satisfactorily.
No I have, but you're so certain it wouldn't matter how much evidence I showed you. You'd come up with some hairbrained excuse to dismiss the cognitive dissonance you're feeling.
Look at your utter refusal to 'believe' in the southern strategy. Of which you've not provided one piece of solid evidence.
If linking someone else's shared opinion is the metric by which you measure the accuracy of all your theories, it's no wonder you're stuck in academia, taking your frustrations out on redditors in your spare time.

why is it you working class types disparage professionals at every turn?
It's amusing to watch you dismiss WikiLeaks so flippantly while shitting on anyone with a sense of intellectual objectivity. Exactly the type of objectivity you're claiming is needed to accept your own premise.
I'm not shitting on WikiLeaks so much as your nebulous gesture towards the proof they've provided. Why don't you show me one email that shows wrongdoing, just one. Oh that's right there's not one but because you're uneducated and have no idea what's actually going on you're willing to take some snippet out of context because if you squint at it right it looks nefarious.

You don't strike me as a person who's interested in anything but toeing his party line. That is by any definition: shilling.
You can't even smell your own rot.
This is just a tip of the hat to your oblivious nature and complete lack of demonstrable self awareness.
I've given up on having a real conversation with you, because you think you're beyond reproach.
Your responses to my sources don't acknowledge even a smidgen of guilt; and when they do, they make some moral equivalence or relative privation argument. Worse yet, your one sentence answers belie any thoughtful consideration on your part.
In other words: shilling.

Movement - that's a lark. I think you temper tantrum with a vacuous bloviating con artist at the top. It will crash and burn in a few years time (at most). Though most of your fellow jackbooted thugs won't be moved my actual fact a faltering economy and increasing global instability will affect how most of trump's voters feel in 2020 (you know the low info types whose vote changes weekly)
That will only happen if you:

Yes, that's right, your brand of revisionist history and fascist ideology will only grow the more people speak out against it and the more actual fact we bring to the national dialogue.
Can you say - 'double speak'?

That letter was harassing
There was speech before hand it where he read a letter. Reminding an elected official that he represents everyone is not harassment it's a letter to an elected official.
here was a British guy who tried to assassinate Trump.
very little actual information and a completely distorted reality.

Fuck amazon 1 click. Way too easy to accidentally order something on a touch screen.
Secondly, if they ordered with 1 click, it would go to their default address, which presumably is their own. Why would they have each other for their default addresses?
They knew this was gonna trigger everyone who voted for Trump. "HOW DARE YOU SHOW A MUSLIM IN A LIGHT THAT MAKES THEM LOOK HUMAN!?!??! INTERNMENT CAMPS!!! REGISTRIES!!! MOM BRING ME MY TENDIES!!!! MOOOOMMMMM!!!!"
I really hope I trigger some Trump cucks myself. I triggered some earlier and I keep getting tons of butthurt messages.

Joke aside, middle-eastern Muslim men are actually really touchy-touchy, and have no problem with that. It was weird for me seeing guys holding hands for example, that would likewise be the first to throw a homosexual off a rooftop if given a chance. And Imams have been busted with boy sex-slaves even more than the Catholic priest scandals. Its just the open homosexuality between adult men that sends them off their rocker.
It's pretty sweet when Amazon starts to focus on your city.
Not only are all my orders free 2 day shipping, but I get a lot of free 1 day as well. And a lot of my items end up being free same day shipping! I can order something before noon at work, and when I get home I might have the box waiting for me- certainly by dinner time!
They skipped the extensive episode where they continuously send each other the knee pads that they received, thinking that the order keeps getting returned.
When they finally meet up they try to exchange gifts, and through some Seinfeld level miscommunication they get into an argument about who tried to send the knee pads first.
this is hands down one of my favorite ads ever. too bad there wasn't a Jewish rabbi, media needs to show that semitic relations are fine usually unless it's about israel/palestine.

Im always torn about commercials like this. On one hand i thinks its a beautifull message and it puts a smile on my face. On the other hand you know this is just the image amazon wants to give off to make money.
Now I have a question for religious people. Isn't it wrong to wear knee pads? Isn't it supposed to hurt when you kneel down to pray?

if you look at the part of them where the knee would make contact with the ground you will notice they are infact padded/thicker looking. So perhaps both, but definitely pads too.

Why does everyone think they bought each other knee pads? It seems to be that the entire thing is to show that they are more alike no matter their beliefs.
Hang on, is the implication that each of them bought knee braces for one other? Because if that's the case, and I were, say, the priest, I would think that I had accidentally told Amazon to ship a gift from myself to myself.

That's Ludovico Einaudi with the Piano Score. He's pretty much the best composer of our times, in my opinion. Truly genius. Check out this video of him playing piano surrounded by falling glaciers.
Why is the priest kneeling down on his left knee? IIRC you're supposed to kneel on the right in the presence of God, left is just a normal genuflection for kings and bishops and such.
Ludovico Einaudi is the pianist, if anyone is wondering.

This is why advertising doesn't work on thinkers. The meeting of disparate faith leaders doesn't make sense, but OK, we get the sledgehammer setup.
Rubbing the knees, ok maybe waiting for joint replacement? Is amazon selling joint replacement surgeries or DIY osteo supplies? I'm intrigued.
Oh look, they've each decided to place an order, presumably for each other. But whaa? One-click order isn't for gifts, it's for your own pre-loaded address. I must have guessed wrong, let's see what the commercial is actually about if not gifts.
Ok, they've both ordered knee pads. Clearly the 20 year old commercial writers have no clue that knee pads don't do shit for joint pain, but OK. So they've each ordered knee pads for themselves? Why? Or was this actually gifts for each other but with a plot hole due to the one-click buy scene? Why would Amazon's marketing agency not know that?
Oh it's ending, nothing clever happened, and I guess this just was a screwed up commercial.

Yeah, because this is the relationship most Muslims have with most Christians. It's not like Muslims move to Christian countries then hole up in self-isolating no-go zones where they can govern themselves according to Sharia but still enjoy the welfare benefits of a Western Christian nation. I wonder what the welfare benefits in Pakistan are like. Not very good I imagine.
If they both bought an identical item for the other, without telling each other, and the item they purchased showed up at their door instead... It seems rather selfish of them to just start using the item that they meant to buy the other person but had accidentally delivered to themselves...
Am I the only one who laughed at an alternative version of this were one goes "Oh man I sold my -insert item needed for another item to be useful- to get you this" "Well dang! I sold my -item that first gift was bought for but sold to be useful for the item other man sold- to get you this!" -cue laughter-

It's a very old story line, usually used around Christmas time where say, one person purchases their friend a (for example) new sunglasses case but in turn had to sell their (for example) guitar to purchase said case. However, unbeknownst to them, their friend sold their nice sunglasses to buy their friend a huge pack of picks. And the oh man I sold my guitar to get you this etc etc exchange happens and both people feel silly but grateful for the thoughtfulness of their friend. I was amused by the idea of an alternative (specifically of this commercial) commercial in which such a thing happens.
I thought they had sore knees because they were both old... was like, the hell are knee pads gonna do?? Ah, gotcha, these cleric types spend a lot of time on their knees.

Well, they certainly got the "respect one-another's nationality" part right. Unfortunately it was countered by the "respect one-another's religious beleifs" message. Richard Dawkins said it best: "respect your BELIEFS? Only if they're supported by evidence." Otherwise we're just supporting people who believe that religious stories are actually real. No. This is not a healthy thing... if a grown man goes around telling other grown-ups that Santa Clause is real. Tell him he's delusional so that we can all progress in a logical state of mind moving forward...
But it just feels like they are trying to make a political statement without actually saying anything. Jeff Bezos is pissed about the election results, so he ordered this be made. I say this as an atheist and trump supporter.
I agree. But I use amazon anyways (like many I would imagine) so I don't see it as a problem. And at least they tied it in with their service; some companies don't even try and you find out at the end of the ad that it's for some random company.

Say what you want, call me a bigot but the truth is if you are an imam met a christian priest he'd hate him with all his heart.
If you become an imam you devote yourself entirely to the religion... Religion that says kill the infidels... And you want me to believe that he would become friends with a person that is spreading the "religion of infidels"?

Except this happeneds A LOT, people were being banned on popular subreddits for having a non politically correct opinion.
And how am I being ignorant exactly?
"And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing"
Just a little line from quran about infidels, if the guy is a imam then like I said, he must be devoted follower of islam and a chance that he is actually a "moderate muslim" that just believe what he does and doesn't care if other people believe something else yet alone is fine with being friends with someone who is spreading different religion, while being a sort of a figure in their religion is pretty fucking slim.
This video is in direct response to the #GrabYourWallet campaign (119 million impressions already) on Twitter where Amazon is being boycotted for supporting Trump. Not directly, but because they sell items related to his family business. So it's a nice message we all can agree on, but would a better message be to ditch the Trump related brands? I guess it depends on how you look at it, but there's a financial incentive to look nice and run a PR campaign in light of negative press.

I've never quite understood how two holy men from completely different religions could come together like that. They either fundamentally believe that the other is a dangerous hieratic or completely undermine their position of authority.
I get we're all holding hands and singing kumbaya right now, but can we talk about how much this ad kind of sucks? Aside from the heavyhanded as fuck message it's literally just a bunch of shots of two guys hanging out with homoerotic overtones buying themselves kneepads. Yes, buying themselves kneepads, because 1-click ordering is just for yourself. And also because who the hell buys kneepads for a friend while also having knee pain yourself? Wouldn't you just buy two pairs?
It's not a commercial to get people to get along. It's a commercial to get people to buy stuff from Amazon. Amazon did the market research and figured out that people who like coexistence and diversity tend to spend more money than people that live in trailer parks and hate everybody who looks different than them.
Really? This is making it to all? A video about two guys buying kneepads? I guess people still have a hard on for progressive pandering and diversity bullshit.
I get that they bought the knee pads for each other, but why the heck wouldn't they have bought it for themselves earlier? Seriously, this has a lot of plot holes Amazon.
To everyone who's saying how do we know they didn't order it for themselves, look at their faces when they receive the package. When I order something I don't look shocked and confused when the package is delivered. I'm generally tracking the shit out of that sucker from start to finish. We can assume they're shocked/confused because they weren't expecting it or worried that they actually put the address in wrong.
a million times yes! When people come together to dialogue with each other and actually listen to one another, there can be so much beauty in human interaction. How anyone thinks insulting others in their beliefs can result in anything good boggles my mind.
I'm sure the priest bought some more in small his alter boy. I cant think of a different reason for an Imam to buy them in small aside from also raping young boys.

So, the somewhat cynical response that nobody wants to hear, but is worth writing anyway: this isn't about uniting cultures or people across religious divides, this is about how we're all caught in the same tangle of consumerism.
Sure, you might need some kneepads, but this is an advertisement at the start and then end of the day. Don't forget that, even if you're uplifted by it.
You know, with all the hatred and ignorance being thrown around the last few weeks, this was such a pleasure to come across. It's a gentle reminder that not everybody is so angry, and many are still as loving and accepting as they were a month ago.
I may be an anti religious dickhead, but this was cute. Seriously. If there is any redeeming quality of religion, it's the older believers that give you that sense of comfort and understanding when they talk to you about the world.

fuck yes?
"fuck yes" to the catholic church systematically protecting child molesters?
Maybe you mean "fuck yes" to the thousands of young men women and children being inspired by Jihad to kill rape and maim thousands more?
Or is it fuck yes to millions of little girls having their genitals butchered so that they will never experience the natural pleasures of sex.
Fuck yes to hundreds of millions of women being denied the freedom to express themselves or choose their partner?
Oh no I know it must be fuck yes to all the thousands of mostly women this year alone who have been killed by their families in so called honour killings???

They're both wrong. Both of their religions condone inhumane horrible things. Both religions have done/do horrible inhumane things. This does nothing but make us smile at the idea that one day, the religious extremes of catholicism and islamism will one day turn into peace.

Their target audience is people who don't care about much except getting on with their lives and being blissfully ignorant. When they see this they go, "Awww isn't that cute! two different religious institutions getting along! How sweet!" where in fact those religious institutions are both (especially Islam) responsible for pushing hatred, intolerance (the irony hurts) and death. This is simply propaganda to try and push forth the agenda that Islam gets along with other cultures and groups. It does not.

Because if so I may be ready to drink whatever koolaid you're mixing at least, dude.
Edit: Some people practice religion for fun, but most are indoctrinated by adolescence to believe a subjective reality as objective fact. This is immoral and unethical. The monetary construct is also slavery.

Religion is a dank meme that protects the holders from degeneracy. Being an atheist is like being an aids patient. You're shutting down your defenses to harmful ideas. That's why marxists love atheism so much. Think less about what is true and more about what is good. Find God.

That's not what I said. I said the production value is shit, not that it needs a bunch of special effects. The acting is bad, the camera work is bad, and the pacing is AWFUL. That story doesn't need a minute and 20 seconds. Here is another recent commercial, without any of the flashy special effects you mentioned, that I would argue has better production value.
Comments are disabled because that was the most homoerotic minute of crap I ever saw and everyone agrees.

You're a piece of shit - what kind of inhuman garbage hopes for an attack and then for a mass genocide? You're an embarrassment to your country, a traitor to American ideals, and as a bonus playing into the hands of ISIS and Al Qaida.
There is so many haters in the world that even a commercial with a good message is bad! Just enjoy the message, amazon is so full of money that they don't need to make commercials like this, they can hire the most trending artist but they decided to give a message to the world. HATERS GONNA HATE

priests and imams don't wear their dresses in their free time... This would have been a great opportunity for a nice little twist at the end. This way, it's just pandering.
Where I the priest, I would've thought twice about opening the box. I also thought it was more than a little disingenuous that they didn't show the priest throwing the cup away instead of washing it. Everybody knows he threw that cup away.

...in this video, the two men are clearly shown to be friendly with each other.
If I got a package from a friend the next day in the mail, I'd assume it was a gift. Then I'd feel badly, because I probably didn't get them a gift (certainly not with 1-day shipping!)
Priest opens door to stranger in a dress.
Stranger starts telling priest there is only one true God.
Stranger is clearly grinding his teeth because said Kafir isn't budging.
Box just shows up at priests door with delivery man waiting to ensure he receives the package (RED FLAG! They NEVER wait. Anytime a box comes from Amazon its a case of "Ding-Dong-Ditch", they throw the box on the porch - ring the bell - and run like hell)
Priest opens box

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy -- willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
I think this commercial is offensive, i don't need the "one race" thing shoved down my throat as if I'm an ignorant child and that's what I feel like it's doing, for the "awww coexisting" affect.

You can be worried and mad about the treatment of Christians in the middle east but deriving the idea that Muslim Americans should be treated worse because of that is discrimination and an unconstitutional idea of collective guilt.
It's not only deeply unamerican but also unchristian, it's not a race to the bottom although that's what 2016 kind of feels like.

Exactly. YouTube still isn't profitable to Google, but it is still a powerful platform; it influences millions of people, some even making a living with it. Why would they want to ruin it? The YouTube team has created something great, but they're ruining it really quickly. Worrying too much about what the mobile app looks like and not enough about the functionality of the core site. I think the real problem is that YouTube doesn't have any real competitors. Vimeo, Dailymotion, vid.me, those sites haven't gained enough popularity to motivate the YouTube team to actually take care of their site and keep it at its best. They either don't care or don't know that there's a problem.

As they own all the copper, all the other telcos have to rent it off them - unless they want to spend billions laying their own. And as consumers, we're stuck paying ridiculous prices for old technology because the government screwed the telecommunications network.

The place I work has given up using YouTube as a platform. If you type pretty much any band name or venue into YouTube and search by upload date, YouTube is now littered with bot accounts claiming to be live streaming the concert and most ask for payment or direct you to malware. None of them are streaming anything. Pretty much every show we have has two or three of these. Bands themselves are upset about it too. It's been happening for months now and Google couldn't give two shits. YouTube is on the race to the bottom. The time is right for someone to come along and compete with them.

Yeah, YouTube actually lets people other than the first 100 replies get their comments seen instead of burrying them at the bottom of an abyss. (and no one here actually sorts comments from newest first. So don't tell me that.)

I think YouTube understands burrying comments that you are uncomfortable with is a slippery slope. Reddit hides controversial and unpopular opinions while promoting simple, cute, and popular opinions, so the comments become sort of a circle jerk here.

Channels have the option to blacklist words and phrases, they can appoint community moderators also.. In my opinion not moderating your own YouTube channel is laziness, and it would be easy to fix one of the main problems with YouTube ( the comments) if creators moderated their comments.

Several months ago, one of our French politicians was found to have not paid his taxes several years in a row. Not really like clever tax evasion, just... Not paying his taxes. This guy was one of France's bigger and louder advocates for not letting politicians and rich people get away with any and all forms of tax evasion.
When confronted, he claimed he has "administrative phobia". Filling out paperwork gives him anxiety, to the point where he can't do it at all. But he was supposed to do the books for his family, so he didn't want someone else to do it for him.
The term administrative phobia became a pretty big joke for a few months after that.

It was one of the reasons the right was pushing for why Trump voters voted the way they did. That they were in such economic despair that they felt no choice but to vote the way they did. In reality, with unemployment way down, new jobs coming in, and the dow Jones doubling in 8 years, the notion of that seems like a cop out to the left. If you voted for Trump that's your right as a citizen, but don't cop out on some lame excuse and just own up to it.
So since then, anytime anything racist or politically incorrect happens, the left sarcastically says "Oh, must be that economic anxiety." As a joke. "Oh Trump supporters paint a swastika graffiti over Jewish memorial. Must be that economic anxiety." It's a joke.

Take care of one problem and the rest follow. If muslims didn't murder people, no one would be making jokes and Americans wouldn't be sending drones to kill them.
And why can't we joke about religion? It is not something someone can't change like race, gender, disability, physical characteristics. It is a belief...just like politics. I believed Trump would make a better president. But others attacked my belief, called my candidate horrible things, called his supporters horrible things. Should I be offended? Not really.

Americans will kill always be the biggest threat to world peace regardless of what Muslims do so please don't act like the whole system of problems starts and ends with one tiny group of a huge religion. I don't think anything should be "off limits", but I do think that lumping all muslims as terrorists would be unnecessarily hateful towards a group of people that have done nothing wrong. How can you have no empathy with people who see their self-identity constantly attacked because of the actions of a tiny fraction of their religion? What are you trying to convince me of anyway?

Hazzman ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 08:43:38 on November 19, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
I've been thinking about this and I have to admit it does concern me.
I know I'm at risk of sounding like an old man shouting at clouds, but there is something seriously odd about the lack of guidance in any of this media. It's so unconsidered and without restraint.
I'm not saying the glorified toy commercials I watched as a kid were paragons of morality and virtue... but my entertainment also included shows like Star Trek TNG and Mr. Rogers... both of which were full of healthy messages and philosophical questions that helped young minds grow.
No adult who resigns to sticking their child in front of a screen as some sort of surrogate parent is doing a particularly good job, but there was a sense that you could safely plop your child in front of the television and the worst thing they might see during the day was Big Bird teaching you the ABCs.
Take the Spiderman + Elsa video, for example. Hyper sexualised, structureless nonsense created specifically to exploit young peoples interest in the characters in order to gather views and revenue from Youtubes ad system. Parents are oblivious to what their kids are watching, on the surface they think its harmless but really its not suitable for young kids.
And that's really my point. No parent should ever feel safe just plopping their kid in front of youtube... and while it might seem obvious, this idea that you can just safely plop your kid in front of a screen is ingrained into us, into society, provided by the relatively controlled and safe environment we had growing up with television. Like I said plopping your child down in front of a screen is not good parenting, but we've gone from that being safe to do (if poor parenting) to just a wild land of unfiltered nonsense and craziness - in just 15-20 years. That's almost no time at all, much less enough time for society to adjust suitably.
Again - I hate to sound like an old man talking about how rock is the devils music... I'm only early 30's... but already I see young kids watching this stuff without any oversight and it disturbs me.

I doubt your parents just let you have full control of the tv while you were the same age that you were watching Mr.Rogers. If parents these days are letting their kids just watch anything on YouTube before they are say 5 or maybe even older, they're just shit parents.

Most physical contact isn't filmed in such a sensual fashion, and doesn't have such longingly romantic background music.
Those same movements in a regular TV show likely wouldn't seem sensual at all, even though they do here, because it's not the interactions themselves that are sensual, but the way the interactions are filmed and edited.

The filming and editing seemed to focus on a sort of love religion attempts to foster between people, rather than anything intimate. At least that's what I got out of it.

I figured it was going to be a thing where he opens up some other streaming service and some sort of extremely "offensive" thing was on it and amazon would be like "Don't you wish you had us instead?".
Or even better.
They are all friendly and shit just like this and so they both do the presents thing but instead of it being all heartwarming it'll actually be hilarious like the priest gets the muslim a goat blowup doll and the muslim gets the priest a little boy blowup doll and they both show up laughing their asses off.

It's a good choice by the writers. The commercial is clearly designed to have a message, and that message is common ground, and this hits that note on a few levels with the perfect tone. It's not heavy handed. Really great commercial.

Clearly this guy has not use Imagus. It's amazing even outside Reddit.
Other similar extensions are/were HoverZoom and HoverFree. If you are using HoverZoom, uninstall it as they are selling your data for targetted ads and HoverFree is no longer being developed. And Imagus is better than both of them anyways.
I can't browse the internet on without Imagus.
Make sure to learn it's major shortcut which it does not tell you, otherwise it is inconvenient sometimes. Press Z when hovering or hold right click for a second and release it to enter Zoom Mode. Rest you'll figure out.

Yeah, Anglicans are pretty much the only ones who do this (most Protestants don't have priests, they have "pastors". Whatever that means). Catholics and Orthodox guys don't have that. It's a life of celibacy for Catholics (I'll get to Orthodox rules in a moment). The only allowed circumvention to this is if you become an Anglican priest, got married, then converted to Catholicism. Of course, if she dies at any point, you aren't allowed to remarry. The Orthodoxy allows already-married men to be ordained a priests, but to quote myself:

I thought the whole idea of the commercial was to show they weren't so different despite what is assumed (history agreeing) was a major difference (religion). Sort of the 2016 version of "we all put our pants on 1 leg at a time" and you get the warm and fuzzies.
I mean who buys their friend knee pads? That's a pretty personal choice.

nah, see, you can tell it was meant to be gifts for three reasons.
the imam strokes his chin thoughtfully after he leaves his creaky kneed friend's home.
the christian wizard guy looks thoughtfully towards his front window after his homeboy leaves, indicating he's thinking about him.
xmas is closing in, and Amazon's commercial is meant to inspire gift giving.

While I believe you are true, that laugh makes it seem like it was a surprise so buying it for each other sounds like it was the direction this was meant to convey.
It's a plot hole though, and could be easier fixed if say the priest had trouble getting up, and then he receives a package. Jump to a shot where you see the Imam wearing them. It would convey the message stronger. As in "This thing saves me from serious pain and now I give it to you."

It was a great commercial. Bravo, Amazon! The 1-click was inserted by Amazon likely just to remind us how easy it is to order that way, but we are all given to understand that the two men in the commercial bought each other a thoughtful gift. Again, well done, Amazon! Makes me want to go right over and start ordering Christmas presents.... (Man. I'm so swayed by this kind of ad.)

Wellll, the article states it, to be sure. And that was the implication, no doubt about it. It doesn't explain, still, how the 1-click button would have gone anywhere but the default address, which, unless these guys are just crazy for buying each other gifts all the time, is their own houses. I've never known anyone whose default address is anything but their home address.

I wouldn't say they were surprised; they just appear happy. Or maybe the point is that they are surprised and happy at how quickly their shipment arrived. So it was a story about two people buying themselves knee pads and how wonderful Amazon delivery service is.
I hope you understand we are all picking on the video for the fun of catching details. Yes, of course their intent was to show them buying gifts for each other, and they chose these religious leaders to try to make some sort of social commentary. They just made continuity mistakes that actually shows something very different happening. We get what they were trying to do. But in that context, the commercial doesn't really provide any actual value of social commentary; it's basically just Amazon giving a social signal that, as a company, they are promoting the idea that people should just get along. Right. But there's nothing new or interesting about that, either in the intended commentary, or in the context of businesses trying to use social value signalling to sell more products.
Or, put another way, can't you suspend your disbelief that we all get what they are doing and just enjoy the fun of re-interpreting the commercial based on their content mistakes.

Promote inter-religious friendship. It's not unlikely that they just had to ask those five local places of worship for some free holy books to get some. Then they just have to bundle them up and walk around handing them out. Can't be too hard to find someone that would invest an afternoon into doing what's pretty easily argued to be a good deed.

It doesn't matter if our beliefs are different and not everything we do has to orbit the politics of our beliefs. We can be friends without you going out to say you read scriptures and I yours.

It was also a scripted commercial, so the rules of what 1-click does in the real world don't need to apply.

You're right, but what if they have each other set as their primary address when making the 1-click purpose? What are the implications there? Oddly enough it's the only scenario that makes actual sense considering what information we are presented with. Unless they really were just buying knee pads for themselves... this makes no sense.

A Christian and a Muslim, two groups of people who historically have had a long history of conflict, can still come together, be friends, and suffer from the same thing (weak knees). It shows that even thought they are extreme opposites, they are the same.

I think the real message was empathy. There are a lot of people that think someone else's life is different, when in reality we are all human.
What I think people lack the most nowadays is looking at the other side, putting themselves in the position of the other person.
We are all human beings, it's a simple message but one we often forget.
RomanCavalry ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 10:50:38 on November 19, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
If they did buy the knee pads for themselves, the relevance was a message of unity. Regardless of our backgrounds, we're all the same, we're all human.
It's meant to send an undertoned message of acceptance.

Actually, the duality of this situation is what makes this a really beautiful concept.
No where in the commercial do you know if they coincidentally bought each other the same gift, or both came to the same idea of getting knee pads for themselves after talking as friends.
So, there are two potential interpretations that send a strong message.
People can be accepting and friends with each other, regardless of religious belief and develop into a close friendship (respect of diversity)
Regardless of our backgrounds, our beliefs, etc. we're all human. Our daily needs are the same and we can understand each other. (unity)
At least, that's how I took it.

As a Muslim, an Imam has to have a good amount of knowledge in both the Bible and the Torah. Most have read it or can at least say quite a bit regarding it. As well, many of them, such as the one in our mosque, has been a big partner of interfaith dialogue.

Since Jesus probably gets as many namechecks in the Qur'an as the Bible (it's something like 90 times), and the Qur'an encourages readers to read the Bible to read stories of Jesus, and it's the same monotheistic God in both books if the Bible plus the Qur'an, any Imam will be more familiar with the Bible than most people calling themselves Christians.

But that is just a physical explanation. Looking a man in the eye is about intent. If a blind man means to look you in the eye, you will know it. A blind man's reaction to avoiding another man is the same as a person with vision, since sight isn't even a factor anymore.

Beautiful hardwood floor. From that point on until 3 in the morning we were pulling up all the nails and staples holding down the carpet.

I can't be the only one who, at least for a second, thought they were going to bang, right?
There's at least one moment where they look at each other and I was convinced that they were about to makeout with one another aggressively.
They're also touching each other a lot in kind of flirty ways.
I was thinking "damn, Amazon - gay priest and Imam? That's maybe just a little too progressive, guys."
You know what, now that I'm thinking about this more I'm even more convinced these dudes are gay, because you're right - they got each other knee pads. Sure, sure, Amazon had to save face at the end by showing they're on their knees to pray, but I wonder if they have a version where they're legit gay and not revealing that they're gay lovers was because they were afraid of how people would react.
Yeah, they're definitely gay lovers. That's canon now.

They're too fucking busy this time to year to have time to wait. I mean that literally. If you want to know how insane it is, go apply for a seasonal delivery position (or warehouse position, if you want to see how fucking absurd it is on the other end) at FedEx or UPS.
I'd recommend doing it anyway, honestly. They'll work you to the bone but FedEx takes care of their people. I don't have time this year, but last year they'd always have a ton of food for everyone when we all went home around 1 or 2 AM. Subway from the shop down the block, burgers, and before we all went home for Christmas, they treated everyone to fucking steaks from a restaurant not far away... had them cater it and used sternos etc to keep everything hot for the graveyard shift.

I worked at a FedEx hub years ago loading trucks during the holiday season. Graveyard shift. They never gave us any food. Towards the end of the holiday season they asked if I wanted to stay on and I said no because I was going back to school. They got mad because I didn't give them two weeks notice and said I couldn't work for FedEx again. Sorry, I thought a temporary position came with a built in termination date.

Amazon's delivery service probably only operates in very large cities, chances are it's only in the US too. For anything abroad, at least as far as I've noticed, they seem to use other services.

All the major delivery services deliver their stuff to the loading dock at work and the staff come drop it off at the door to our office. Amazon comes and hands it to us individually. On the other hand, they also can't find the mail room for my building and keep dropping packages off outside the building to get stolen.

In my experience, at least in Germany, amazon logistics could quite possibly be one the worst delivery companies in the country. DHL (which is mostly used) for example is much better, faster, will always hand the package directly to me, has options for moving scheduled delivery time, and so on.
I wonder if it's actually amazon running those things or if they just hand it over to subcontractors which would make the quality of service vary between countries...

They're contractors. They don't get AZ benefits, and they're easily replaceable. Liability, I guess. Plus, way easier to delegate all that to someone instead of trying to manage yet another thing. I don't even have any idea where they pick their packages up from, all the warehouse does is fill trucks.

Interesting. I always liked DHL but they shut down their domestic delivery service in the US after our economy crashed in 2008. I ordered an item from Australia in 2011 and had it shipped DHL 2-day and the driver waited at the door for me, which was nice since I took the day off to wait for him. I'd use them more if I had a choice.

I had issues with Amazon's delivery service for "losing" my package several times. The guy straight out stole it. He would block my driveway and scan a package and toss it back in and set the item as undeliverable.
After a week of back and forth with Amazon they finally replaced the items and since I made a complaint (Phone, forum, and chat) I haven't had a missed package from them. I guess I got a new driver.

I order things off amazon all the time and they never wait for me to answer the door. The only time I've ever had someone wait at the door with a delivery is when it needed to be signed for (and even then, sometimes they just knock, leave a "we missed you" note 2 seconds later, and leave). It may just be your area or something.

These knee pads were the top seller and averaged a 4.5 star rating with thousands of reviews. It was reasonably priced and none of the other products seemed to offer a clear advantage. The only sticking point was the bright color, but then they both realized that the other guy wears robes too.

A sticking point other people are pointing out is that 1-click sends it to your own address automatically, meaning that they both bought the kneepads for themselves (unless each had the other's address as their default)

Plus, attention was drawn to the knees, it's definitely possible they said something along the lines of "Haha, we should probably get kneepads with all this kneeling we do" as the Imam was leaving. Then a few minutes later they thought actually, that's a good idea, let's check Amazon for them and buy them for myself/ gift them to that guy.

Searching for knee pads will yield the same results for both. 60-90% of people buy the first result (depending on category and how many 'big name brands' exist in each). The chance that they bought the same knee pad is between 36% and 81%.

This isn't that uncommon. A restaurant I used to work lunch shifts at, a Rabbi, Imam, and Pastor would come in once a week and discuss religion for 2-3 hours. When they all were ready to leave they'd give each other handshakes and hugs and go on their way. It was interesting to hear then discuss prophets and theories of each of their respective religion. And they all tipped well.

I'd have expected they would be talking about the members of their congregations. Ignoring the reality that they're all practicing slight variations on the same religion, the big thing they'd have in common would be that they are advisors to lots of people in their communities on a lot of very personal issues. That's a damn difficult job and having colleagues to talk with about it would be really valuable.

I wouldn't be surprised if they intended for that to happen.

Soon we'll see tons of edits of this commercial in goofy, funny ways... and all of which will make you subconsciously remember Amazon for being the creator of the commercial.

I thought it would have made way more sense if one needed knee pads and the other needed something else (IDK his church is cold AF and he got him some thermals, whatever) - but it seemed strange they would both think "Damn my knees hurt like shit but so do his, better get one pair of kneepads and continue to deal with this debilitating pain every day"

I think there's power in the notion that they both get on their knees aka perform the same motions to worship their own respective gods. A "we are ultimately the same" type thing.

Because commercials can have sentiments and tell you something about the company and its ideals (or what it wants you to think of it anyway). In this case, because of the tension around muslims right now, Amazon wants you to know that it's a company of tolerance and acceptance.

[deleted] ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 06:17:46 on November 19, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Maybe they view their pain as a sacrifice, and, rather than something to be resentful of, they view it as a reminder of their mortality and that even the old and infirm can put aside their earthly troubles and bend a knee to God. It would be vanity to buy the knee pads for yourself, but to do it for a friend as a token of love and respect is a kind act of thoughtfulness. And yet, they are blessed for their charity and fellowship by receiving the same gift that they've given. They've done unto others as they would have others do unto them and been rewarded for it.
God truly moves in mysterious ways.

This right here is why this concept is dumb. How is this on the front page with everyone praising it? Not only was it kind of cheesy, but the concept doesn't really make any sense. First of all, the 1-click Amazon Prime thing only works for buying things for yourself, and secondly, you're right, why would each of them buy something that they need for the other guy, and not for themselves, too?
And they both happen to buy each other the exact same knee pads on Amazon....and they're both internet/app savvy old guys who know how to use Amazon and think to buy the exact same knee pads on Amazon for each other after visiting.

As someone who works on commercials and has dealt with 'client notes', I can almost guarantee that someone from Amazon insisted that the 1-click visual was included, even though it makes no sense. Never underestimate how far a client will go to make sure their product or brand is featured more prominently, regardless of what damage it does to the creative, or if it makes the whole thing make no sense.

Unless they in fact ordered for themselves with one-click buy, in which case they shouldn't be surprised. And if they ordered for each other and received the item themselves, wouldn't the initial reaction more properly be one of surprise that the item was presumably mis-shipped?

In Latin Rite Catholcism one may become a priest after the death of a spouse or declaration of nullity of a previously assumed marriage since the man in question is not married. He could have fathered children prior to those events.

I think you could just father a child outside of marriage and then become a priest later, as long as you repent. No need to actually get married.

That is also true, although without a lot of time in between those events there's a good chance the diocese won't accept you as a candidate simply because you're still expected to be a father to the child and everything until they're an adult

You can see a confessional in the background, though. I had this odd, unspoken "yep, catholic" inkling in the back of my head and wasn't sure why until I saw it - and I grew up Anglican!

I grew up an irish catholic, I just had a powerful-but-nonspecific feeling of guilt. But then again, it could be entirely unrelated, I mean, I did grow up irish catholic, it could be bloody well anything.

From my understanding of at least the Catholic dogma, it is uncommon but does occur that if one is a widower (and remained unmarried after) and has adult children, one is allowed to pursue priesthood.

I am directly descended from two Popes. One of them had an affair when he was a Cardinal, the other was a widower before he became a priest. If Popes can be widowers, I don't see why priests can't either.

It's really not just a new payment system. It's access to an entire logistics chain with your satisfaction as the major public goal. That means payments, merchant agreements, fulfillment, delivery, returns, customer service, and a whole lot more. And all of this is done on your behalf if you fit into the demographic Amazon is good for: people with money and a desire to shop for things.

Amazon and Google are my favorite companies. People act like Amazon isn't as innovative but they are completely wrong. Have you ever shipped a box to somebody? It costs $30-$50 and takes a week. I buy shit at Amazon and I get it in 2 days at the latest. I buy groceries at 10pm and they're sitting at my door the next morning when I wake up. The prices are generally as cheap or cheaper than alternate retailers. The other day my $200 router got stolen off my porch, and Amazon just sent me a new one. There are zero online retailers than come close to Amazon's shopping experience. And that doesn't even mention all the innovations they've done with AWS and cloud computing. The company doesn't even make money since they keep reinvesting it. I love companies like that.

Hm do you live in a major city (where most of their stuff is offered - Prime Now being the big one)? It really is awesome, especially if you don't have a car - I get 90% of things I used to buy at the store off Amazon and it shows up at my apt door in ~2-4 hours.
I wouldn't actually want to work at Amazon due to the bad reputation they have as an employer (both the warehouses and their corporate site have some fairly scathing editorials written about them if you google), but the service itself is spot on and for better or worse there's no competitor that gets close right now.

At my company we use AWS. At home I shop with Amazon. There is no limit to my admiration for what the company is capable of right now. On both fronts they're simply killing it.
I've worked for retail operations before and I know just how hard Amazon is killing it in that space. I've always worked in software engineering, and I especially know how hard Amazon is killing it there.
It's funny to me when I see Amazon advertisements, it's almost like seeing advertisements for Google. C'mon guys, I don't need any convincing.

... Which, child, or Amazon? Because I've saved a lot with Amazon. As for the child? Yes, children are expensive. If it makes you feel better I have never taken a dime in state or federal aid, am fully employed, am a home owning taxpayer, etc. I have two children, college education for them, and retirement to save for. So no, I don't have much money to play with.

It's possible to approve of the message of an ad without being a 'consumer whore'. Amazon could have advertised their new system in a variety of different ways, but they those this one. This ad is, of course, manipulative just like every other ad. But it also appeals to a pathos of openness and love that pleases me.
Every form of media both shapes and reflects the culture of a society and advertisements are no different. Get over yourself mate.

You wouldn't even have to actually attend the college if you weren't planning on it. You could apply at a local CC just for the free email address if you really wanted Prime student.
edit: If you are attending a CC though, check and see if they offer some sort of fee waiver. Here in California, if you're over 25 and living on your own, there's a Board of Governors fee waiver that you can apply for that'll waive all your enrollment fees. I know I've started to go off topic, but it's worth looking into in case your state offers anything similar, if you're thinking of attending college.

Never had that happen to me, in fact I ordered something this month and selected standard shipping, as it said it would arrive on my day off then, while express shipping would arrive a day earlier, which was a busy day for me, so I wouldn't have been home for that.
It ended up arriving a day earlier than it said it would with express shipping. Missed the delivery, but got my order 2 days early.
Point is Amazon delivers really damn fast (at least in germany) and as long as you don't order from a third party you are pretty much guaranteed to get your parcel by the time their estimation says.

Science is the catalyst for innovation not the motivator. Throughout history innovations have always been motivated by either war, profit, or survival. Science in of itself is not a benevolent cause for humanity, it is simply a tool to reach a goal. Someone has to pay for the research after all. There will always need to be a return on that investment for it to be worthwhile, profit or otherwise.

Scientists are getting paid like shit compared to what they offer. Believe it or not the betterment of humanity and good ol' competition can be motivators too. As for who has to pay there are always organizations who do, universities and the government come to mind for example. Did you know that most of the pharmaceutical research is being funded by the government?

I can see that we're never going to agree here since as a socialist I believe all companies are inherently exploitative.
It all comes down to this point you made:
Businesses exist solely to generate profit and ultimately an ever increasing profit year on year. This means that their goals will never align with the morality of the rest of the community. If they are given the option between doing the moral thing or doing the profitable thing they will always choose the profitable thing. On occasion they will do the "moral" thing but only when they are sure people are watching and only because they expect it to generate future profit from being an "ethical company". Inevitably they will always seek to recoup the losses of being ethical through some unseen manner be it exploiting tax loopholes or exploiting the workers and environment somewhere else along the chain.
In the ambulance example you gave you neglect to mention the fact that a public ambulance could provide the same service at much lower cost. Whilst the ambulance may have saved their lives they are now indebted thousands or tens of thousands to them.
My issue lies in the fact that I believe the exploitation of the poor and the environment isn't necessary because the economy could be molded in such a way that organisations exist and provide services without a monetary motive. There by eliminating the flow of money/goods/resources from the poor to the wealthy simply for its own sake. While also being able to eliminate the destruction we see in our environment because without a monetary motive there is no reason for an organisation to pollute and destroy the earth which we all inhabit.

Corporations are doing good things most of the time because it coincides with their true goal, which is to maximize their stock market value or maximize their profits.
They may be better than state controlled entities in general but that doesn't automatically make them good.

If you are a prime member and they miss the guaranteed delivery window at all, you can call Amazon and ask if their is anything they can do to compensate for this and they will offer you an additional free month of prime on your account or a $5 Amazon credit. (And if you paid extra for same day delivery they'll refund that bit as well of course.) However, I agree it's annoying they frequently miss their delivery window if you order same day shipping (although I haven't had the issue with two day) and I wish I didn't have to waste time calling each time, it should be an automatic button I press in my account to alert that the guarantee wasn't met.

No actually, anything below a threshold, I'm not sure what the dollar value is, they don't want it back. I don't remember what they call it some kind of returnless return or something. They've sent me the wrong thing on different occasions and they asked me to keep it or donate the item AND they refunded me. I'm sure if it was an expensive item or was to an individual seller you should return it. But if it's from Amazon they usually have you keep it instead of process the small return! I call and ask.

but gutting the funding for social services across the board is evil. there is no way to justify the way Republicans ( and by association most American Christians) gut social programs repeatedly. The U.S. spends far less (percentage) than all other western democracies and still republicans will continue gutting until the safety net has been entirely eroded. Meanwhile, its high-fives and cigars over on wall street, where they are deciding which toxic assets to bundle up and sell off to some unsuspecting schlub trying to build a retirement. But, when that shit goes belly up, Republicans are all lined up to give those ass-hats a safety net.

See, the difference between you and me is that I don't think it's "evil" to act out of rational self interest. If everyone did that, we'd have a pretty darn good democracy going. I prefer a tax cut to more bloated bureaucracy and a robust system of job-creation incentives, and I believe the Republicans are more fair than the Democrats are in that regard. I'm self-employed; do you have any idea how much I pay toward that "social safety net"? More than is reasonable, in my opinion.
And I'm not going to go ahead and call anyone "evil" for disagreeing with me, because that's both a dick move and a lie. They're simply doing what they think is best.

I'm all for taking some burden off of the true small Businesses out there. But if you think that means deregulating wall street and giving incentives to the industry that donates the most money to the Super-PAC supporting the candidate (that the candidate totally has nothing to do with /s), then you are naive.
Quite frankly no American is taxed enough. especially the people that are deriving their money from investments. The capital gains rate is a joke. Living in a civilized world costs money, real fucking money. It is cheaper to help people when they need help than it is to incarcerate them when they inevitably turn to crime after seeing no other way to continue living.
Don't lecture me about running your own business. I own two small businesses now, and have in the past owned one other. If you cant make enough of a profit to also set some aside for the general improvement of our society then you aren't making enough money to operate, period.
Edit: so really the difference between you and me is I call the actions of evil people evil, and you go along with it because you think it will put a few more dollars in your pocket.

Someone voting a certain way does speak to their biases and life experiences, but it doesn't necessarily speak to hate. I mean, if you voted for Grand Wizard of the KKK, you're racist, but voting for someone who simply exists in a similar universe to that doesn't necessitate overt racism. Maybe something subtle, but as a liberal in a family of conservatives, I know for a fact that my relatives aren't bad people. They are kind and understanding 99% of the time. My parents, for example, were totally cool with me going to a mosque for my friend's graduation party. Are they fervent supporters of LGBT rights? No, but as their child, I have to take the good with the bad. And what I've found is that the good outweighs the bad.

Hi, baseless and uneducated opinion.
Religion and religious beliefs are objectively correlated with what the modern world considers hostile, unkind, generally backwards beliefs.
I.e., how the vast majority of the world's Muslim population feels wives should be subservient to husbands, or how a third of the 1.6 billion population feels you should be literally killed for leaving the Islamic faith.
Or, how the number of times someone goes to church has a direct inverse correlation with their acceptance of gay marriage. [source]
You can say "kind" and "understanding" if you are attempting to credit religion with basic human empathy found in all demographics, non-religious included...
But the reasons many people tie religious beliefs to bigoted stigmas in those communities are well proven.
There is a difference between not being prejudiced -- i.e., if you are highly religious, I will not assume that you as an individual are a bigot, even if highly religious people are statistically more likely to be so -- and blatantly ignoring clear statistics.

That is just super fucking kind of them.
Exactly how many bigoted beliefs that are more predominant in religious populations, do you need to have dragged across your face?
You think something being in the bible makes it an acceptable belief? Do you wear wool & cotton blends, heathen? When you put an inanimate idea, like "the sanctity of marriage", over the wants and comfort of human beings, just because it's in the bible... do you feel kind?
You think somebody attempting to discourage me from my sexual orientation loves me as much as someone who isn't? Are you really trying to argue this?
I can't believe that you're actually trying to hobble on in this one-legged position your religious friends have put you in, by being bigots at rates in grand excess of the general population.

It's objectively demonstrable that religious groups are less kind and less understanding in almost all applicable fields, when compared to the general population. As was demonstrated in my previous post.
My views are irrelevant. They are statistical facts. If you are attempting to draw conclusions about religious populations/people in aggregate, which is what you attempted to do, the facts only point in one direction.
I do not put any individual in a box. For every rule, there are exceptions. But the rule in religious populations, is that they are objectively less kind, less understanding.

Maybe I am, but you're kinda being unkind right now.
You're basing this off of one statistic. [Edit: I see that you've edited in more stats] You're literally saying that non religious people are more kind because of the fact that religious people don't agree with homosexuality. That's a ridiculous claim. There are kind and unkind people regardless of whether they're religious or not. You're giving stats on things that are more liberal/democratic ideas and religious people are generally more conservative/republican. On the government supporting the poor, I could give you a list of religious charities if you'd like.
Get off your high horse bud.

Homosexuality is bad. It changes the dynamic of relationships and now marriage away from its intended purpose of raising a family in a good environment. The destruction of the family unit has wreaked havoc on modern society. Look at the unemployment rates for people who had 2 parent, single parent, and now gay parent homes. There are real world consequences to your ideology. The biggest example is in the black community. Would you believe they were doing better relative to Whites before LBJs great welfare (i.e. become a single mother, it'll be fine) schemes? It's true. Leftist ideology is responsible for millions suffering in poverty today. But of course that's great because it means big government can swoop in to save the day. Great for leftist politicians, not you or me.

Hey, uh fuck on off with that bullshit. All of the studies that have come out about the effects of being raised by gay parents have proven that there is zero proven link between growing up in a home with gay parents. The kids come out exactly the same from a success and psychological standpoint as kids from parents who are straight. It's kids with divorced parents that are more likely to be fucked up.

I know it's supposed to be a rhetorical question, but there are good reasons for it, in human psychology. It is a very basic instinct to discriminate against your 'tribe'. Useful when you live in a tribe, but deleterious to a modern society.
You literally can tell people they are in a blue group, and they will immediately develop a bias against everyone in a red group. They teach this in intro psychology courses.

I actually used to work at a church in Brooklyn where there's a strong sense of inter-faith bonding. We partner up with the local shul and other denominations to do volunteering opportunities together.

I am a raving atheist, but almost every priest and rabbi I have ever known is like this. The people at the center of faith based institutions that are not on TV are there because they want to bring communities together. It is rare at least in my anecdotal experience for this to not extend outside of their congregation or synagogue (or mosque - but I have not been exposed to Islam nearly as much). I think they're raving lunatics who preach harmful divisive ideologies (obviously my opinion), but I also think generally they are very well intentioned, and probably try to do more good than harm.

I also liked this advertisement.

I'm not against religion. I am a modern baptist(everything the same but I don't mind alcohol) christian that reads the Bible and Quran, and I can see where low literacy rates and some insecurity creates monsters inside of people.

To be fair, prior to the Holocaust, atheist Marxists in the soviet union murdered 12-20 million Christians from 1922 - 1991, with the bulk of the murders occurring from 1928 - 1941.
"The state was committed to the destruction of religion, and destroyed churches, mosques and temples, ridiculed, harassed, incarcerated and executed religious leaders, flooded the schools and media with atheistic teachings, and generally promoted atheism as the truth that society should accept."
...it's not just the religious that can go totally crazy. All over America right now there are people simultaneously saying "Fuck white people" in one breath, and "we need to stop judging people by their skin color" in the other, and the vast majority of those people are atheist.
Full disclosure, I'm an atheist, but I don't think that makes me better than any of my religious friends. Live and let live.

Why is this relevant? You seem concerned about the physical nature of the belief, i.e., what they say, and who they say it towards.
You know there's an extreme point of view for MANY MANY things in this world? You can find just about any extremist you want out there, and I find it interesting you enjoy highlighting one religion. I get it, American atheist absolutely hate christianity, and its popular to hate on the dominant religion of the country. Fact is, of course christianity has its issues, but so does atheism, and so does islam. At his point in time, islam in some corners of the world is igniting radical acts of violence whether you admit that or not. Pointing the finger at christianity doesn't deal with the issue of organized violence amongst large groups rooted in islamic beliefs.

I'd estimate that the percentage of people who publicly endorse those beliefs make up about .1% of the population in America and the fact that it is shamed in our culture goes to show what our collective opinion is. I'd then take a guess that a majority of muslims outside of western civilization believe and practice this hatred daily. Why else would it literally be a crime punishable by death in countries that are officially muslim?
EDIT: .1% is too generous. I'd say it's about 2-7 thousand people out of a country of 300+ million. But when you compare the overall percentage of those who publicly support shariah law, the oppression of infidels, and the killing of gays in the muslim world, even a percentage of 1-10% is still potentially hundreds of millions of people. And that's just the people who were surveyed, who usually live in large cities where people are typically more liberal.

In this day and age, with all the resources available to you, there's no excuse to be that fucking uneducated...yet for some reason you choose to revel in your ignorance. The only way to see your point of view would be to shove my head up my ass. I can't argue with stupid.

I totally get what you're saying. But to imply the West is right and Islam is Wrong is a slipperey slope that our culture has been sliding down for quite some time. Islam has a lot of beautiful things. As a guy who believes Jesus's teachings, I highly suggest reading Rumi. He is essentially lead the original Islam-Mystic movement.

/r/hailcorporate is, to quote their sidebar, "simply a place to document things that act as ads."
I don't think the intention is necessarily to criticize advertising, but rather to make people aware of just how pervasive advertising is. We are bombarded with it all of the time, to the point where it just becomes background noise. It's easy to become complacent and just accept it without thought, so I think it's good to point it out even if it seems obvious.

And there we have it, the same myth repeated here folks.
All Muslims must give mandatory 2.5% of income to charity. Non-Muslims are exempt from this under the rules of an actual Islamic state. Instead, non-Muslims must pay a tax, and that money is to be spent on their community INCLUDING the maintenance of their houses of worship. Yes, you heard that right, Muslims are supposed to maintain and protect houses of worship of other religions. Also, by paying the tax non-Muslims are considered protected citizens and subject to equal protection under the government and courts AND exempt from the draft, plus also Muslims are expected to fight and die to protect them as they would all other citizens.
Got more questions and myths you need busted? /r/Islam is pretty good at answering questions.

I feel it was really downplaying that Jews and Christians were repressed minorities. Also, massacres of Jews weren't totally unheard of in the Muslim world during the middle ages either. See this, this) or this.
I'm not trying to argue that Jews didn't have it any worse in Europe, just that there seems to be this false narrative of Jews and Christians being completely tolerated and the Caliphate being some sort of wonderful pluralistic society where every group had equal rights.

Jizya was levied on those able bodied adult non-Muslim men who didn't serve in the Muslim armies. And guess what? All able bodied adult Muslim males were conscripts for the army. So if you wanted to not pay Jizya as a non-Muslim, you'd sign up for the Muslim army (or be poor). Otherwise, jizya was a tax that exempted non-Muslims from military participation and it was also only limited to able bodied non-Muslim adult men. Women, children, elderly, the sick (either mental or physical illness), the poor, the religious clergy (monks, priests) were all exempt from paying the jizya.
Maybe you should do your research, then?
(and try to not pay taxes in your country)
As for during the time of Mohammed, he levied a tax that was equivalent to the cost of living for 10 days for the family. So, basically a rate even lower than 10/355 (lunar calendar) = 2.8% since you don't spend all that you earn. Let's round that already low number up to 5%. Paying 5% of your annual income in taxes to the Muslim state which would exempt you from military service, let you live according to your own laws, and guarantee protection against wrongdoing by internal or external forces? Sounds much better than what I pay now. But this was of course possible in a time of war when the state's coffers were filled with war booty that was used for public services.
And just in case you start citing examples of where the system didn't go according to how Mohammed practiced it, then how's Mohammed at fault? Every system in the hands of mankind has its highs and its lows. A lot of people would consider Trump becoming president a low for the electoral college system of democracy or for democracy as a whole. Similarly, Muslim rulers who overtaxed or threatened death for non-payment were not following what their own religion had ordained.
As for punishments, during the time of Mohammed, they were either imprisoned or placed under house arrest. Try to not pay your taxes in the US and see how you get punished.

It's a tax. And it's not like Muslims don't pay. When Muslims pay, it's called "Zakah". Zakah and Jizya were both very small percentages compared to the amount of tax people pay today.

A racist concept. Civil rights are guaranteed to everyone, we now have laws thanks to many brave fighters in the past. When rights are taken away from a select few, that is a crime, that is not a privilege to the non afflicted party. It is a racist term used to silence people based on race. That is a racist act.
People have to live to the same standards as the society around them dictates regardless of race or religion. To suggest that they do, is not a hate crime, it is avoiding a double standard and refusing to treat people as victims and insisting on a society of equality.
I know the history of it, I don't know how far back you are going with the definition of this, but in no way shape or form is this ethical. Nor are any of the teachings in the Quran, Hadiths, or Sunnah. That goes for most religious texts including the Bible.

Yeah, and then these people would be blamed for everything, treated like shit, subject to ethnic-cleansings along with attempted genocides every so often for land akin to some sort of Muslim Lebensraum, with the usual justification being that they were infidels/kafir/heretics.
Just look at any religious minority in the middle-east such as the Armenians, Assyrians, Yazidis, Greeks. They were ALL massacred for their religious beliefs. Lands which had been their homelands for up to 5000 years, they have been made strangers and outcasts in.
Tell meโwhat is exactly "fair" about that?
What is probably the worst part of it all, is that these people aren't even thought of or known about. Their genocides are essentially ignored by the world, whereas others such as the Holocaust are basically portrayed as if they were the worst thing to ever happen, with the name behind it all literally being used in place of the devil's name as a far graver insult. How many of you know of the Assyrian or Pontic Greek genocides? Hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children whose murders have either been forgottenโor for political reasonsโoutright denied.
Whereas the German children (and all of the western world really) are taught of what the Nazis did to the Jews, they are taught in places such as Turkey today that these genocides either "never happened", "they deserved it", or "it was not a genocide but merely an ethnic cleansing". As if that makes it any better?! They are synonymous!

Not to try and brag or take credit, but the priest is a real-life Anglican priest (and the imam is a real imam).
This my friends is humanism - The ability to be for all humans and compassion to life. There is no secularism to humanism, there is only compassion. If we all have different views, yet we realize we are all human - we can come together. In before holy wars - only 7% of wars are estimated to be caused by religion In before God doesn't exist - Do you feel better about yourself? Now join the rest of us and hold hands
This brought a tear to my eye. In this world that can be oh so rough and crappy at times, sometimes love is all we need. I thank God everyday for the love I am given and everything I recieve. God bless friend, thanks for sharing :)

Amazon putting the pressure on the couriers that parcel have to be delivered so in most of the cases I would try leave the parcel with one of the neighbours or hide it somewhere like in the bin in front of the house.

Kajocfc ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:29:09 on November 19, 2016 ยท (Permalink)*
You get concession then. If you got too many Amazon will simply let you go. Amazon also understand that things like this happens because basically one of 3 things can happen here: 1. Client will go to neighbour and collect his parcel and then he will report to Amazon that he didn't get the parcel. 2. Neighbour will keep parcel for himself and will tell original recipient that he received no parcel today. 3. Dishonest courier will keep parcel for himself and will mark on the device that he delivered parcel to neighbour.
When you making delivery you have to rely on your judgement. If the neighbourhood looks poor and dodgy as F you simply trying to deliver parcel later than leaving with the neighbours. There are decent areas when you will leave parcel on the front porch and no one will take it. It's also easier when customer will add some additional info regarding who leave the parcel with or where. For example: please leave the parcels on the black box behind the garage.

No ones trying to force anything down your throat. Maybe do a bit of research before you say they're just vegetables.

Wearing knee pads for comfort is kind of at cross-purposes with the whole concept of kneeling.

Been in since 2008. I agree. I have the Chase Amazon Visa card, 3 points per dollar on Amazon purchases. Those points will pay for my wife and I to have a second honeymoon for our 10 year anniversary. We also do the scheduled delivery thing for diapers and household stuff. We save up to 20% on those items, and I never run out of baby wipes or laundry detergent. I have zero complaints from Amazon. I don't use Prime Pantry yet though.

Something about using religion inside of advertising to further a corporate cause rubs me the wrong way.

And look at the things the vatican has done in the past. Except wait. The vatican did it all across Europe, not just within their own borders.
Now, with Wahabbism, Islam is starting to do the same thing (I'm muslim btw). Inshallah, Saudi's get pressured to stop this extremist exportation nonsense they're doing.
I never said Saudi was good. And whether or not this imam is being a good imam in their opinion is irrelevant, because Islam actually teaches us to respect the believers, of which that priest is one. So.

Mecca and Medina are the only things I would ever go to Saudi for... Most Muslims I know personally (Which is a lot, my wife's entire family in Algeria included) have no interest in moving to Saudi or even vacationing there.
I've been to Algeria and Turkey, many of them think Saudi Arabia seems scary, and archaic in the way they run their country.
I understand that Saudi is fuckin' crazy. But it's not because of Islam. They're exporting a bastardized version of Islam, wahabbism. Wahhabists don't only follow Islam, they also follow Saudi cultural rules too. Wahabism is full of cultural perversions that are not there in pure Islam (Such as the niqab, and any public exposure of ones sins; Edited because I previously said crimes).

Don't try to cover your countries atrocities towards Christians, you think we're all stupid?
In year 2003: 1,500,000+ Christians
In year 2013: 200,000 Christians
Almost all Iraqi Christians have fled from Iraqi areas to the Iraqi Kurdistan. The majority of Iraqi Christians live in Iraqi Kurdistan, most of them arrived as IDPs. The vast majority simply have everything taken from them.
In Iraq, what would happen when that Priest Proselytized? OH YA, the death penalty.
I work with many Chaldean Catholics out of Detroit and have glimpsed continuous hardcore christian persecution in and by your country.

Actually it is not your job to reward morally praiseworthy decisions. It is your job to reward good products and cheap prices. Moral marketing is for those who don't like the realities of competition but still want to enjoy the freedom of the market.

[deleted] ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 03:43:21 on November 19, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
In what way? Don't stop your case short of the specifics. The purpose of the market is to allow competition to bolster good products that benefit consumers. The consumer should buy products that they find to be the best and at the lowest possible price. That is it. It is a simple idea. It is an economic model not a moral one. Now let's take your case, someone sees a nice heartfelt ad and goes to buy a product. What if this product was worse than better options, and more expensive, but simply had a moral message. This would be directly antithetical to the consumer's purpose; they have just now bought a worse product at a worse price.
The reason why moral marketing works is that people are not just consumers. In the marketplace they are simply purchasers; outside of the market sphere they have other needs and wants. As holistic people they have moral values they want to fulfill. Simple capitalism does not fulfill any of these. Once you attach a moral value to a product you can. However, this is not a benefit to an individual as a consumer, so as consumers they should not fall for these strategies. As people in other spheres of life, maybe, but I would argue in the long term it is harmful.

You have had no direct contact with any Muslim ever. But you've heard stories.
Or, you were in the armed forces and went to Iraq or Afghanistan or another country the US sent their military to and got shot at by people who happened to be Muslim because that happens to be their faith. Never mind that they may be opposed to your presence, not your faith.

Let me guess.
You base your opinion of muslims on how you want to think about them instead of how they behave in most of the world and how backward, dogmatic, and plainly retarded their religion is?
Islam is simply not compatible with modern western values. Importing them by the millions and acting as if the scene from this ad is the norm or will ever be the norm is suicidal.
At least christians are mostly pacified and majority doesn't take their religion that seriously, thank god.

Oh, I'm no fan of either (or any) religion. But I also know that an overwhelming percentage of Muslims are just people. And a big chunk of Muslims are basically just going through the motions because it's their regional religion. A bit like Christians used to do.

Also, don't mistake my annoyance with this ad. I'm not annoyed because I think muslims are subhuman or something. As you said, they are people, but this whitewashing of how shitty their beliefs are and how incompatible they are with western - as well as christian - values is simply dangerous misinformation.
Yes, muslims are victims of the religion they were born into, sure, but that realization doesn't help in the slightest with the problem we are facing, of a clash of western values with a barbaric religion/ideology/political system.

Ah the Community College "instructor".
It's always nice to put a professional title to the mouthpiece.
Funny thing: I had an instructor just like you during my brief stint at my local Community College (before moving on to, you know, a real college). I would stay quiet during most of his clearly partisan rantings. He was also guilty of false equivalencies like yours: frequently equating right wing extremists (who happen to be Christian) to Islamic extremists, VA benefits to "socialism" and 2A support to criminal negligence.
As often as I disagreed with his views, and made those disagreements known through the papers I wrote for that class- miraculously, I still got an "A".
Look at you. I mean seriously, look at that hot mess!
You're so angry, you're losing your grip on the English language. We're in a sorry state of affairs when our "scholars" struggle to abide by even the most basic of grammatical standards. Shameful. Let me guess, "you're on your phone".
(no excuse: so am I)
F-a-S-c-i-s-m.
Fascism is one of those funny words which always manages to come out whenever someone disagrees with any authority figure. It was out for Obama. Bush, and now Trump.
The word means almost nothing and can be (and often is) applied to either side of the political spectrum.
Oddly enough, the only points of historical reference for practical fascism exists almost exclusively on the left (here's where you incorrectly tell me Hitler was "right wing", citing his nationalist tendencies).
Nevertheless, "fascist" is useless and ineffective as a pejorative. It's the loudest way to scream - "I have no facts at my disposal- here's an insult." It's akin to using words like "racist" "sexist" "homophobe" to silence dissent - there's no bite anymore.
No. I think identifying his past actions (the ones most frequently cited) and equating them to the actions of a "white supremacist" is absurdly dishonest. A false equivalency (copy down the spelling in case you need to use that word again, you're making my eyes hurt).
That's adorable.

No Hitler was on the right, you cant ignore facts. You know like killing communist, outlawing labor unions, using state power to advance corporate interest. If you think Facism is a leftist ideal you need to pull your head out of ass and learn how to read.

Nope. I'm calling bullshit. Not a fucking chance.
I doubt you have a PhD, but if you do? You were fucking cheated.
You certainly argue like an Associate's holder. Maybe you've been debating with too many gender studies triggerables during your tenor. It's easy to win debates if your lecture halls are filled with sycophants depending on your approval for a good grade.
My 2nd year daughter can likely debate you under the table. If you're representative of the best the left has to offer at this point, your side is in severe trouble.
That's a ridiculous oversimplification. Extreme right wing would lean far more into anarchy than 'fascism' would allow.
Contrarily, fascism is empirically more often the result of failed socialism/communism.
A key tenet of fascism includes violence. I encourage you to do some googling of your own and see the origins of real violence regarding this election cycle.
You won't.
So far we've ticked 2 ideological checkboxes in the 'left' column.
It hasn't escaped me that you ignored my challenge to link video evidence of violence from "Pro-Trump" folks. I would do the same for "Anti-Trump" people.
Oh.. Looky here: just hit the front page with 6k+ votes. Some interesting symbols on their clothing.. Don't you think? Keep up with all the "bigot" rhetoric though. I'm sure that'll end real well for your side.
Robert Byrd what?
"Bring them to heel" what?
"I'm only going to talk to the white people" what?
Aside from the OBVIOUS cognitive dissonance required to even make that statement, what can you point to from any of the proposed appointments which comes close to proving the person in question is a "bigot". Let's start talking specifics here.

See the south had been since the end of the civil war solid Democrat. But when northern Democrats started supporting the civil rights movement southern dems got really pissed off and it fractured the party.
Here is where Nixon's southern strategy comes in see he knew that playing to these racists they'd flip to the Republican party. Making them the party of racist
Byrd was an old southern Democrat

I want you to admit that your failed campaigns and even further, your failed academic endeavours have finally proven that you don't have nearly the persuasive influence you think you do. Even here, where you have the full resources of the internet at your disposal, you can't seem to directly confront a single point.
I give you wikileaks as a source, you give me the proven discredited media outlets the public has the LEAST amount of trust in.

So you are ignorant. LBJ passed the civil rights act. LBJ was picked as JFK's VP because he was from the south.
You're either being willfully ignorant or maybe you are this stupid but if you think the Republican's pushed for the civil rights movement there is no hope for you.
Why don't you read about the southern strategy instead of runing your ignorant mouth off.
Some parts are for sure
You're the one engaging in revisionist history there hoss.
No I've addressed them not my fault you can't read. Though I do enjoy how you drop the points I've proven you wrong on.
No you gave me some bullshit propaganda. I gave you actual news, Wikipedia, oh and simple google search.
But hey who am I with my PhD to know more than you and drunken uncles facebook posts. You just dismiss every actual piece of evidence as 'biased' without engaging it.
I sure do you hope your minimum wage job and life as a useful idiot.

Oh, I'm sorry. Was that an executive action on behalf of LBJ?
Wait.. No? Legislative?
Oh.. and what were the votes in the House?
How about the Senate?
That's what I thought.
You can keep calling me cute little names like 'hoss'. You can call me ignorant, racist, bigoted - whatever. But the fact is, the reason you have lost public support on your side is because you've become far more arrogant than learned. I used to think the hard right was out of touch (and for a while, they were). I thought they were full of luddites and hardliners.
The truth is, it's now you all, who are out of touch. You're now the hardliners. You're no longer the gatekeepers of information.
The public has finally realized that sources don't need to work themselves through an institution for their information to be disseminated. We don't need to take Rachel Maddow's word that someone is a racist. We don't need CNN's permission to view wikileaks documents.
And we sure as fuck don't need an ex political hack, teaching at a university to feed us his version of the truth.
You're dealing with a vastly different audience these days. We check source's sources. We look at original context. We view the subtext. We are the new gatekeepers. We will ultimately decide if those hiding in the shielded ivory towers of academia are worthy of our money.
Ever so slowly, we are deciding you are irrelevant.
You don't get to decide what's worthy of that title. It's amusing to watch you all try though. These past few days of reading proposed censorship of "fake news" has been illuminating.
Because when I asked you a question, you gave me an opinion piece. WaPo and NYT are arms of the DNC. Deny it. I fucking dare you.
Being a career professor is the last resort in every profession and industry in America. Don't hold up your social sciences degree as anything other than a way to escape the real world by hiding out in academia. You're no Rhodes Scholar. I don't give a fuck what your degree says.
Way to denigrate minimum wage workers though. Keep making your party and profession proud, dipshit.

No, it was passed by congress in the wake of JFK's assassination because, he - a Democrat push for its passage.
The original House version: Southern Democrats: 8โ87 (7โ93%) Southern Republicans: 0โ10 (0โ100%) Northern Democrats: 145โ9 (94โ6%) Northern Republicans: 138โ24 (85โ15%)
The Senate version: Southern Democrats: 1โ20 (5โ95%) Southern Republicans: 0โ1 (0โ100%) Northern Democrats: 45โ1 (98โ2%) Northern Republicans: 27โ5 (84โ16%)
No its not
We haven't lost public support, there are 1.5 million more votes for Clinton than for orange Hitler
Also its great how after your barrage of condensation and name calling you're trying to take the high road.
still are if not more so - unless you think cozying up to the fascist in the alt-right somehow moved them to the center.
we never were, but you've demonstrated over and over again that you're willing to reject fact for make believe bullshit.
You don't seem to understand the how many years I've spent studying this shit, nor the research I've done. But sure you're feels are more valid
Now that's a fucking laugh, I'm mean you could do those things but you didn't cause you wouldn't be mouthing off bullshit if you had.
who's we? You fellow country bumpkins can't read and think their shit doesn't smell.
There not, I'm sorry if reality has a liberal bias. I'm also sorry you can't distinguish between news and opinion pieces. So since you're bragging about check source's sources. We look at original context. why don't you look at senate hearings on Jeff Sessions confirmation hearing for his judgeship, you know where he was rejected for being racist. Or you know you could look at articles written by Bannon or hey you read Flyn's own words when talks about Muslims. Unless their own words are somehow biased, is that right?
When making up a story 'its fake' and you and your ilk are too gullible
No its was my first choice, get to own my means of production, have a flexible schedule, get research what I want, teaching is mostly fun, pays very well.
No I'm not a Rhodes Scholar but you know who is Rachel Maddow whom you disparaged. And I know you don't give a fuck what my degree says, that's your problem you think you know more and your like a little kid playing with power tools.
I'm not going to show up to your Farm and assume I can feed your chickens, mend that fence and copulate with family members as well as you. I respect your experience and first-hand knowledge.

Jesus- Even as you present facts, you can't do so without trying to inject your narrative. This is why your current job has a very short shelf life.
You can't just state the facts because it's shameful. Especially to someone trying to hide behind identity politics:
Some noteworthy Democrats on that list of people who voted no?
Al Gore's dad
William Fullbright - Medal of Freedom recipient from Clinton, advocate of the Southern Manifesto defending segregation.
Robert Byrd - we all know who he is now no thanks to MSM
By the way- A SINGLE democratic segregationist moved over to the Republican party during this time period: Strom Thurmond.
Haha. right.
I absolutely understand how many years you've spent seeking clever ways to inject your narrative and bias into your lesson plans.
I have. What have you given me? NYT and WaPo.
Let's not forget: the onus of proof is, and remains, on you- you're the one making the accusations. The links you gave me supplied me with an editor's opinion on why those allegations are true.
I'm not clicking on those links for 2 reasons:
because I refuse to give their page any hits
because their coverage is biased and have been shown to be in collusion with the DNC
You keep repeating that trope. Such a weak attempt at elitism. If you could only see how foolish you appear from my side of this platform.
...said every poll and MSM outlet on November 7th. "How could we get this so wrong?"
Well you certainly tried to make it so.
I have. I don't see a single thing wrong with anything that any of them have said.
I understand the context of Sessions' statements.
Flyn's words don't bother me either, because as a vet - I understand the context in which he made those statements. If you had been to the places that man has been you would likely feel the same. Furthermore, I agree with his apprehension regarding Muslims. Islam doesn't exist overseas like you see it in the US. It is absolutely "rational" to fear them in the context of importing more of them from the regions we are bringing them from.
Lastly: Bannon- this is the most ABSURD of all the claims you folks have made. Please quote me a convincing piece of evidence that he should be viewed as a bigot or white nationalist. IN HIS OWN WORDS.
As in a transcript or in a video with full context.
First minimum wage workers... And now farmers.. Does your ignorance and bigotry know no bounds? Are you intentionally being ironic? Or do you honestly lack that much self awareness? You should really be more careful- I know you think you're anonymous now, but tech which can evaluate your writing patterns and reasonably deduce your real ID is right around the corner. There's enough info here to put your job in jeopardy. Just a helpful tip from someone who isn't out of touch.

What narrative is that you're can't just look at dem/rep that was prior to the realignment. But hey your simple little mind can't handle nuance and complexity.
Popular vote asshole. Oh wait I bet you think you won that too
Elitism no but if it makes you feel better about being an idiot to disparage people who did something with their lives - sure.
And... Oh you think reporting that Clinton would win is liberal bias. Cause voters wouldn't stay home and not vote if they think it's in the bag.
And because you don't understand polling you think those were biased too. See this is where education would come in handy.
So did the Senate when they refused to confirm him racist ass, but hey keep showing you ignorance hoss.
Translation: you're biased, have no idea what he actually said, and have no clue about Islam but you'll let your bigotry play right into the hands of ISIS.
Pretty sure I linked this before
Oh that's right you ignored it cause it the NYT even though the article is just a list of racist shit Bannon has written in his words.
Oh shit, there's a surprise a jackbooted Trump monkey using threats to silent dissent. You're still missing the connection to fascism. Oh and there's not cause you know academic freedom.
Now rather than continually spewing your ignorance all over the internet go actually read something. Your starting to make a whole lot of spelling errors in your anger.

It's not complex. It's actually relatively simple. Your job security relies on convincing everyone that it's complex, but I'm not buying it. As an increasing number of incoming millennials start waking up, your classes are going to be filled with people just like me.
If your revision is complex to you, it's because it's confounded and half baked. Even if there were a shred of truth to it, the only reason to continue to teach it is to demonize a political party which has largely been cycled out anyway.
More projection. Literally all you do is fling as much shit to see how much will stick. It's somewhat entertaining to watch you get all flustered and verbally flail about.
You're like a wounded deer. You're determined to run around until you bleed out, making a mess of everything in the process.
You haven't proven your original accusations at all. You've provided links showing me that someone else shares your opinion.
I provided solid evidence why the sources you provided are at best compromised; at worst, propaganda arms of the DNC.
If linking someone else's shared opinion is the metric by which you measure the accuracy of all your theories, it's no wonder you're stuck in academia, taking your frustrations out on redditors in your spare time.
I've already proven my points. You have failed to address them satisfactorily. Continue to ignore them at your peril. Their existence is far more significant than some hack's idea of revisionism. My proof has a staying power that extends far beyond winning a silly reddit debate. My proof is at least in part, responsible for winning an election.
My proof likely has the ability to win every foreseeable election in the next 20 years- or however long it takes for you all to wake up and address the problems it raises.
It's amusing to watch you dismiss WikiLeaks so flippantly while shitting on anyone with a sense of intellectual objectivity. Exactly the type of objectivity you're claiming is needed to accept your own premise. I've been studying the Podesta emails and verifying veracity fairly extensively for as long as WL has been releasing them. Unless you've been doing the same, you're in no position to dismiss me.
You can keep throwing your education in my face, but the fact of the matter is: you only have around 4 more years of formal education than me.
I called it, you're a just a relic of the past; throwing tantrums in a childish attempt to justify your worth.

People coming into college are not millennials at this point. millennials being 1980-1995.
I see so according to the south was not solidly Democrat for 100 years following the Civil War, The Southern Democrats (aka dixeycrats) didn't get disillusioned with their party and bolt and Nixon never pursued a southern strategy. good to know.
The irony is not lost here, I'd go back a look at all the dirt you've flung. Also since you were such a douche about grammar I'd expect you to proofread.
Not my fault you can't tell the difference between opinion and fact
No I have, but you're so certain it wouldn't matter how much evidence I showed you. You'd come up with some hairbrained excuse to dismiss the cognitive dissonance you're feeling.
Look at your utter refusal to 'believe' in the southern strategy. Of which you've not provided one piece of solid evidence.
Stuck -- yeah good one, not like I didn't choose this career or spend more than a decade receiving the necessary training for it or anything.
why is it you working class types disparage professionals at every turn?
I'm not shitting on WikiLeaks so much as your nebulous gesture towards the proof they've provided. Why don't you show me one email that shows wrongdoing, just one. Oh that's right there's not one but because you're uneducated and have no idea what's actually going on you're willing to take some snippet out of context because if you squint at it right it looks nefarious.
Projection.

When you make absurdly obtuse statements like:
You don't strike me as a person who's interested in anything but toeing his party line. That is by any definition: shilling.
This is just a tip of the hat to your oblivious nature and complete lack of demonstrable self awareness.
I've given up on having a real conversation with you, because you think you're beyond reproach.
Your responses to my sources don't acknowledge even a smidgen of guilt; and when they do, they make some moral equivalence or relative privation argument. Worse yet, your one sentence answers belie any thoughtful consideration on your part.
In other words: shilling.
There's simply no point in proceeding further.
I gave you a small warning that the world is now the judge as this information (and more) will likely be mulled over for decades to come.
I give you that warning with the hope that someday your conscience will speak louder than your ego.
..but being a practical man, I recognize that you're so heavily invested in this ideology- you're not likely to come around on your own. The rest of us will need to force your hand.

Movement - that's a lark. I think you temper tantrum with a vacuous bloviating con artist at the top. It will crash and burn in a few years time (at most). Though most of your fellow jackbooted thugs won't be moved my actual fact a faltering economy and increasing global instability will affect how most of trump's voters feel in 2020 (you know the low info types whose vote changes weekly)
Yes, that's right, your brand of revisionist history and fascist ideology will only grow the more people speak out against it and the more actual fact we bring to the national dialogue.
Can you say - 'double speak'?
Oh and its always classy to quote yourself and then respond to it - way to go.

Joke aside, middle-eastern Muslim men are actually really touchy-touchy, and have no problem with that. It was weird for me seeing guys holding hands for example, that would likewise be the first to throw a homosexual off a rooftop if given a chance. And Imams have been busted with boy sex-slaves even more than the Catholic priest scandals. Its just the open homosexuality between adult men that sends them off their rocker.

Lol, I never said that I thought it was a big deal. You seemed confused about why so many people were reacting positively to the ad. It appeared that you didn't understand the feelings and emotions expressed by the people that liked the ad. You know who else can't understand feelings and emotions? Here's a hint: you are your parents very special kid. ;-)

This is why advertising doesn't work on thinkers. The meeting of disparate faith leaders doesn't make sense, but OK, we get the sledgehammer setup.
Rubbing the knees, ok maybe waiting for joint replacement? Is amazon selling joint replacement surgeries or DIY osteo supplies? I'm intrigued.
Oh look, they've each decided to place an order, presumably for each other. But whaa? One-click order isn't for gifts, it's for your own pre-loaded address. I must have guessed wrong, let's see what the commercial is actually about if not gifts.
Ok, they've both ordered knee pads. Clearly the 20 year old commercial writers have no clue that knee pads don't do shit for joint pain, but OK. So they've each ordered knee pads for themselves? Why? Or was this actually gifts for each other but with a plot hole due to the one-click buy scene? Why would Amazon's marketing agency not know that?
Oh it's ending, nothing clever happened, and I guess this just was a screwed up commercial.

Funnily enough Reddit is for everyone. Not everyone cares about what's happening in America. Reddit isn't 'Pro-Islam' because there's one post with an Islamic man in it and Reddit wouldn't be Anti-Islamic because someone posted a hate video.

Yeah, because this is the relationship most Muslims have with most Christians. It's not like Muslims move to Christian countries then hole up in self-isolating no-go zones where they can govern themselves according to Sharia but still enjoy the welfare benefits of a Western Christian nation. I wonder what the welfare benefits in Pakistan are like. Not very good I imagine.

It's a very old story line, usually used around Christmas time where say, one person purchases their friend a (for example) new sunglasses case but in turn had to sell their (for example) guitar to purchase said case. However, unbeknownst to them, their friend sold their nice sunglasses to buy their friend a huge pack of picks. And the oh man I sold my guitar to get you this etc etc exchange happens and both people feel silly but grateful for the thoughtfulness of their friend. I was amused by the idea of an alternative (specifically of this commercial) commercial in which such a thing happens.

Well, they certainly got the "respect one-another's nationality" part right. Unfortunately it was countered by the "respect one-another's religious beleifs" message. Richard Dawkins said it best: "respect your BELIEFS? Only if they're supported by evidence." Otherwise we're just supporting people who believe that religious stories are actually real. No. This is not a healthy thing... if a grown man goes around telling other grown-ups that Santa Clause is real. Tell him he's delusional so that we can all progress in a logical state of mind moving forward...

Except this happeneds A LOT, people were being banned on popular subreddits for having a non politically correct opinion.
And how am I being ignorant exactly?
Just a little line from quran about infidels, if the guy is a imam then like I said, he must be devoted follower of islam and a chance that he is actually a "moderate muslim" that just believe what he does and doesn't care if other people believe something else yet alone is fine with being friends with someone who is spreading different religion, while being a sort of a figure in their religion is pretty fucking slim.

This video is in direct response to the #GrabYourWallet campaign (119 million impressions already) on Twitter where Amazon is being boycotted for supporting Trump. Not directly, but because they sell items related to his family business. So it's a nice message we all can agree on, but would a better message be to ditch the Trump related brands? I guess it depends on how you look at it, but there's a financial incentive to look nice and run a PR campaign in light of negative press.

Aside from the heavyhanded as fuck message it's literally just a bunch of shots of two guys hanging out with homoerotic overtones buying themselves kneepads. Yes, buying themselves kneepads, because 1-click ordering is just for yourself. And also because who the hell buys kneepads for a friend while also having knee pain yourself? Wouldn't you just buy two pairs?

It's not a commercial to get people to get along. It's a commercial to get people to buy stuff from Amazon. Amazon did the market research and figured out that people who like coexistence and diversity tend to spend more money than people that live in trailer parks and hate everybody who looks different than them.
TL/DR: they didn't make this commercial for you.

To everyone who's saying how do we know they didn't order it for themselves, look at their faces when they receive the package. When I order something I don't look shocked and confused when the package is delivered. I'm generally tracking the shit out of that sucker from start to finish. We can assume they're shocked/confused because they weren't expecting it or worried that they actually put the address in wrong.

So, the somewhat cynical response that nobody wants to hear, but is worth writing anyway: this isn't about uniting cultures or people across religious divides, this is about how we're all caught in the same tangle of consumerism.
Sure, you might need some kneepads, but this is an advertisement at the start and then end of the day. Don't forget that, even if you're uplifted by it.

Well you certainly have bought into it.
Reality is both of their religions are bullshit and have caused immeasurable suffering, Islam especially so right now.
fuck yes?
"fuck yes" to the catholic church systematically protecting child molesters?
Maybe you mean "fuck yes" to the thousands of young men women and children being inspired by Jihad to kill rape and maim thousands more?
Or is it fuck yes to millions of little girls having their genitals butchered so that they will never experience the natural pleasures of sex.
Fuck yes to hundreds of millions of women being denied the freedom to express themselves or choose their partner?
Oh no I know it must be fuck yes to all the thousands of mostly women this year alone who have been killed by their families in so called honour killings???
This ad might make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside but it belies the acceptance of IDEAS not people that are heinous in the extreme.
Good people do good things and bad people bad but it takes religion to make good people do bad things.

Their target audience is people who don't care about much except getting on with their lives and being blissfully ignorant. When they see this they go, "Awww isn't that cute! two different religious institutions getting along! How sweet!" where in fact those religious institutions are both (especially Islam) responsible for pushing hatred, intolerance (the irony hurts) and death. This is simply propaganda to try and push forth the agenda that Islam gets along with other cultures and groups. It does not.

That's not what I said. I said the production value is shit, not that it needs a bunch of special effects. The acting is bad, the camera work is bad, and the pacing is AWFUL. That story doesn't need a minute and 20 seconds. Here is another recent commercial, without any of the flashy special effects you mentioned, that I would argue has better production value.

I vomited several times.
Is there a term for this sort of commercial? I can recall those sappy tech commercials where they were documenting their baby's early life with a tablet or camera or something and then, at the end, big, corporate, "buy my shit" logo.
Funny I can't even remember the company. Commercial must have backfired.

It was not part of their blood, It came to them very late, With long arrears to make good, When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved, They were icy -- willing to wait Till every count should be proved, Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low. Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd. It was not taught by the state. No man spoke it aloud When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred. It will not swiftly abate. Through the chilled years ahead, When Time shall count from the date That the Saxon began to hate.

Can we stop pretending Christians and Muslims can CoExISt?
It's far more important to stress reason over Faithtm. It is against both belief systems to accept the other's God.
This whole world wide argument can be avoided if we just hold reason high and cast aside Faith as a folly. Both sides need to admit it.

There's a rather large number of Christians in the middle east. A quick google search places ~1,500,000โ1,800,000 Christians in Lebanon, with ~793,000 in Cyprus and ~8,000,000 in Egypt. That's just a few nations.

You can be worried and mad about the treatment of Christians in the middle east but deriving the idea that Muslim Americans should be treated worse because of that is discrimination and an unconstitutional idea of collective guilt.
It's not only deeply unamerican but also unchristian, it's not a race to the bottom although that's what 2016 kind of feels like.
