Controversial reggae musician Sizzla Kalonji speaks to the Mail & Guardian about homosexuality, his music and Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe whom he recently met while performing at his birthday celebrations in Bulawayo during his African tour.
This is an entry in the 2010 PWNAGE OLYMPICS, in the 90 seconds or less category. It contains audio clips from Veritas48's video "Atheist Fundamentalism?": www.youtube.com As part of that video Veritas asked a rhetorical question and then got the answer to his own question wrong. He claims he doesn't equate fundamentalist atheism with blowing people up, but he does equate it with indecency, hypocrisy, narrow mindedness, and intolerance. Then he asks the world's dumbest rhetorical question, "Is that any better?" Is indecency, hypocrisy, narrow mindedness, and intolerance better than mass murder? Yes, I think it is. And I also don't think atheists are more indecent, hypocritical, narrow minded, or intolerant than theists. Theists seem worse and there are obvious reasons that they are, their holy books inspire all those traits. More of my videos featuring Veritas48: Condescending and rude? Me?

The Vast Apostate Army is a Rhetorical Device whereby I call attention to all the diverse people who are opposing the Watchtower for their own reasons, cheerlead for them, and encourage others to do the same. I've very specifically stated numerous times that there ISN'T anything involved with being a member, including taking the oath, including saying you're a member of it. It is a Rhetorical Device I'm using to stitch together a sense of common purpose amongst people who otherwise would see no parallel between their cause and others. For instance an Athiest and a Christian would never see themselves as being on the same team. The cause of JUSTICE links all who hold a negative opinion of the Watchtower because it definitely IS an evil organization that should be tossed off the planet. Who is a member? Everyone who opposes the Watchtower. What is the common creed agreed upon ? The contents of the Oath. Defend Truth against all enemies and the Watchtower should be opposed. What do you have to do? Nothing. When you do something, I'll cheer you on and call attention to you. Why are there Divisions/Commanders? To accomodate divisions and make them ok. A Christian would think they can't support "my" cause because I'm not motivated by "Christian" reasons. That misperception is solved when I point them at Christians who are involved. PEOPLE LIKE YOU BEING INVOLVED MAKES IT OK FOR YOU TO BE INVOLVED ALSO. There is no other reason. There is no "commanding" anyone. In the debate ...
Is political power a result of a opinion and ideology, or is it a question of rhetorics? Through this animation I want to convey a message about war and terrorism, and who we thrust in this matter. Should we trust politicians, or war veterans and peace activists? My opinion should be clear. Featured: Nelson Mandela Mahatma Gandhi Cindy Sheehan Barack Obama Ron Paul Mike Prysner I've made both the sound and the animation my self.

Alternative expressionism rhetoricized. "Rhetorically Speaking" What it do to be a square? Geometrically, Conceptually, Lyrically If an auk squawks, with no one around, does it make a sound? Sound is audio, audio is music, and we are music. Whats the difference between a square and a cube if you only have but one perspective? Numerically 2 or 3, rhetorically 2. If Kanye be heartless and Beyonce be single, who got the best video of all time? I personally believe that US Americans do not have maps.everywhere like such as. If I wanted to send you a letter, where geographically speaking is work? At the intersection of force and distance just past Franklin Delano Roosevelt. If your velocity be terminal, what be your prognosis? Dr. Pepper prescribes 23 milligrams of flavor. If John cheated on Kate, and they still got 8, will he find a date? Snickers to Snookie, maybe even Pauly D, eventually hell confront the Situation. If Jay-z aint Young Money, and he bleeds blue but he aint a blue jay, does he fly JetBlue? Empirically, a state of mind is only half the battle, while a state of being is another. If we came across Mr. Flintstone, would he make limestone or bedrock? If Gucci had a mane would his voice sound horse? If you brush your teeth with a bottle of jack, then eat Cracker Jacks, will you end up in a box? Did Snoop Dogg's mother not let him boil water because she was afraid that he'd drop it like it's hot? Should one consider "Na na na na na everyday" a double litote or a ...

This discussion seeks to answer the question "How do authors develop the three claims of rhetoric?" In it, the class continues to discuss techniques authors can use. Unfortunately, it appears that a microphone failure has resulted in a dropped audio track on this video. It will still display the visual material, though, and that may help with note-taking.

A song I wrote some time ago. Hope you all enjoy it. :) Lyrics Below: Verse 1: Half a pack of cigarettes And three hours later I was sitting on the top of the world Talking 'bout the end of eternity The possibility and the probability Of finding a perfect girl While everyone else sat inside We were trying to find Chrous: A reason to go on Or to write another song What's my motivation I'm scared of my own Contemplations And what ifs Verse 2: Have you ever found yourself Just staring in the mirror Hoping if you look long enough This life may be a little clearer And as you're blinded by your tears You pray to God you haven't Wasted all these years While everyone else was wondering why We were trying to find Chorus Bridge: And maybe we will never know Just what we're doing here And maybe we can never rise To overcome our fears And it's all right To view your life As who, what, where, when, how And why it is And it's okay to think about The What Ifs

Video from the Tim Morton / Kathy Rudy "Ecology, Ideology, Politics" roundtable sponsored by the Duke University Center for International Studies and moderated by the Polygraph Collective, April 17, 2009. This excerpt begins a discussion of rhetorical and discursive intervention into environmental crisis and the search for some sort of ontological "ground" that will activate the capacity for ecological thought, and consequently, action. www.duke.edu polygraph@duke.edu

Compete video at: fora.tv Psychologist Steven Pinker explains why political rhetoric often tends to be vague, empty, and bland. ----- One of the principal researchers on language and cognition, Steven Pinker turns his focus to what our language says about us. He explores the sometimes comic, sometimes tragic ways our mind works, using language as a clue. Why do we impose taboos on certain topics, like sex? Why do we go to great lengths to bribe or convince? What do our swear words (and their ...

Audio waveform overlaid with animated motion graphics of Palin's Supreme Court non-answer. COURIC: What other Supreme Court decisions do you disagree with? PALIN: Mmmmm -- [lip smack] -- Well -- Let's see. There's -- [deep breath] [sigh] -- Of course, in -- in the great history of America, there have been rulings, that um -- There's never going to be absolute consensus by every American, and -- Um -- There are those issues -- again, like Roe v. Wade where I believe are best [pause] held on a state level and addressed there. So -- Um, you know, going through the history of -- America, there -- there would be others. But, um -- COURIC: Can you think of any? PALIN: Well, I -- I would think of -- of any again, that could best be dealt with on a more local level -- maybe I would take issue with. But -- um -- You know, as, uh -- as a mayor, and then as a governor, and -- even as a vice president, if I'm so privileged to serve, wouldn't be in a position of changing those things, but in supporting the law of the land as it -- as it reads today. * * * * * I was interested in analyzing Palin's strategies and patterns for avoiding answering a question for which she knows nothing about. Palin appears to not be able to think of any other Supreme Court Cases off the top of her head, but instead of explicitly saying so provides an answer by streaming together a number of talking point generalities. When listening to the clip, it's fairly evident to me that this is what is happening from ...
Speech given in Bristol, Virginia This is an amazing video of Barack giving a speech when his teleprompter goes on the blink -- he is unable to form acoherent sentence; struggling to think of something to say as he repeatedly sneaks peeks at the teleprompter screen locations hoping that his script has reappeared. And they talk about George Bush..... HA! This is real funny, to watch the Obamassiah trying to think of something to say all on his very own, and failing miserably. No wonder he is ...
