My critique of the video is the creator’s devoted need to make people feel concerned about something that really isn’t that big of a deal.

The “call the guy” rhetoric really speaks for itself. Look at how it’s presented.

What about the 20 years between 1990 and 2010? The 25 years between 1990 and 2015?

I’m not saying they didn’t happen, but they seem to be happening much more frequently now. Hence why we actually have groundings to see what’s going on.

I really think it’s a cultural issue. People get lazy, think technology/training will do it for them, and then reality hits. Hard.

Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrDEtSlqJC4

30 minutes of bullshit, and hopefully you can see how this guy who’s paid to make videos has a vested interest in making them seem… interesting.

I’m not talking about convicting the perpetrator. Please stop assuming, lol.

Legally speaking, there is no ambiguity.

But in reality, there is. If you can’t understand that, it’s probably because you don’t want to.

Sensationalism.

I don’t see why you think the constituency would routinely make worse decisions than the people they put in power.

Fact is a large portion of the population has no problem voting incompetently and/or under the influence of malicious talking heads.

What makes you think politicians are exempt from this?

And what are they doing to do about this?

I totally agree. I have mad respect for Linus for the work he’s done and the immense amount of retardation he’s had to sift and fight his way through.

I have very little respect for the people critiquing his behavior while contributing nothing of value themselves.

Prolly cause your boss doesn’t have half the responsibilities Linus did or had to deal with as many retards.

I think he knows that but is cleverly pretending that you meant something else.

I don’t think this is a bad thing.

I miss when people had higher standards.

So just vote for the issues that matter to you.

Either way, you get more control than having someone else make the decisions for you.

Dang, it’s only a matter of time before the US follows suit to remain competitive.

Okay. Have a nice day.

You keep saying what is required as though it’s absolute fact.

I just said you can “can pass the training and certification [and inspections] then still slack off in the field.” What part about this is so difficult for you to understand?

Don’t you dare put those words in my mouth. That’s not at all what I said.

Really? You seem to only care about what the law says. So you admit that it’s possible for the law to be incorrect about consent? Is it okay to have sex with 16 year olds if the law says so? At what point do you draw the line between what you find acceptable and what the law finds acceptable? Your entire argument in this entire thread chain has been “it’s illegal” when I’ve said time and time again I’m not referring to the law.

None of those involve other people’s consent and are all victimless crimes. Dear lord how are you this dense.

Yeah, me having sex at 17 with a 20 year old was a victimless crime. However, I think you’re delusional and patronizing enough to ignore this fact.

You know what’s traumatizing? Being raped. My years of therapy agree.

I mean, that applies to you. Not me. Why would I avoid having sex at 17 because of what happened to you? Lol.

It seems your letting your own experiences dictate what everyone else should experience. Hopefully with time you will come to realize that’s just not the world we live in. Everyone is different, and most people are cool with having sex at 17 even if it’s illegal.
