Ok, ok... I'll be nice and serious. This one is actually pretty cool, if you want an idea of what the future of technology has in store for us.

I definitely like the 'world in 2030'

Also heard that the Aryton Senna one is really good. I used to watch many of the NGC ones back in the day (about dubai and its tourism, and NY subways and so on... great ones)

If you're into history you should check out Dan Carlin's podcast. His series on the fall of the Roman republic and the rise and fall of the Mongol Empire are amazing.

Scam City - National Geographic

It's on second season now. The guy has balls of steel and a total deathwish in my opinion. Pick it up on TPB

North Korea Documentary PROPAGANDA video - REAL FOOTAGE - YouTube

What you say anarchists of WF?

The narrator makes the point that the slogan, "Support Our Troops" doesn't mean anything. But I disagree. I suggest it simply means, "Support The War."

She's right on one hand though. You can't argue against supporting our own troops and this is why so many idiots continually nod their heads and chant it over and over.
