Good point. Not to mention the fact that I've been following this thread since it started and downloaded 3 or 4 of the videos. It doesn't mean I'm not interested or don't have an opinion. I just don't post very much, I've always been that way.

I'll give you my thoughts as to why there have been very few posts in this thread:

Primarily, not many people frequent the Politics & History forum. Its still fairly new and I think it used to be hidden to only registered users.

Next, this thread is a powder keg. It's a thread filled with videos that have many negative connotations about America... started and kept alive by Canadians. Whether or not the videos have merit is not the question; rather their content and who's posting them. Regardless of affiliation (liberal conservative... whatever) when a foreigner somehow portrays your country negatively, even if indirectly, that person will likely take offense on some level. There have been several shining examples of this. In the OTBS forum, we've had far to many knee-jerking, flame-throwing, poop-slinging Canada vs. America threads. Each "side" has their own hypercritical disparaging nitpicker; my guess is that no one wants to turn this into another pointless battle.

Finally, those videos are friggin huge if you didn't notice. Some take upwards of an hour to download and another hour or so to watch. If I had more time I may spend it here keeping up on this stuff, but my life and responsibilities demand much more time than I'd like.

The videos take me only 20 minutes to download, guess its my connection. But Ferich nailed it right on the dot, most people on this fourm to say the least don't have a good spike of intelligence to understand some of the subjects in these videos, and Bleuachdu underlined another good on about America vs. Canada falme wars which to me are pretty useless since it cannot underline anything significant...maybe world power and military mite.. But on to some more videos ninty rock:

I'll be the first one to admit that the videos i have put up are leftist, liberal or whatever else you want to call them. I'm definetly on the left side of the spectrum, and these videos interest me. If there are videos of other political opinion that anyone wishes to see let me know and i'll take a look for them. I don't have a problem with that.

When I started the thread, I PM both Coleman and Noctis, because I knew both of them are Conservatives. I invited them to take a look at the videos if they wanted and then I wanted their opinion. Both said that they would look into the videos, but I haven't heard back from them since a couple weeks ago. I think there are many people here able to engage in a civil conversation on these topics.

This is why they were all showed on Channel 4 in England, the channel adopts the slogan of 'better red than dead'. imho. biggrin: I doubt many republicans will be impressed.

what are the other nightmare series docs about? I finally watched part 3 yesterday, very interesting to say the least.

I haven't commented because I'm going through a period of extreme idleness. The kind of content that ninty's posted usually floats my boat, but I have to admit that I haven't downloaded/watched any of it yet. eek:

Basically it starts out from the 50's and how the islamic terrorists came to be. It also talks about the cold war and how that played a role in the conservative view basically from the 50's up to 2000 where we see islamic fundamentalists and new conservatives. i'll upload the others if you want them, but it will have to wait a day or two.
