    Not yet... too busy derailing your thread so far!

    I'm actually planning to watch it later though...
    There are two kinds of people in this world:
    People who just want to be left alone, and
    People who won't leave them alone.

    I think it was my third time watching it. Still is a good vid. I thought we had a thread somewhere about this guy or one of his vids, but I couldn't find it.

    I wonder though if his tactics with the bobbys would have worked in the states? Any of our boys in blue would have tased his ass and shot his dog at a minimum.

    Started listening to this one again.

    I watch molyneux right now.

    molyneux: "There is no difference between a car and a kidney"

    "There is no distinction between rape and theft." 13:48

    He is rambling imho. I don't know if I can take anymore.

    "A kidney is a ipad" What the hell?

    You would have to watch the entire video to know what the CONTEXT of what you quoted meant. Should i go into some long explanation, or should you just watch the video? (If you care enough to)

    I did finish listening to it. He made those statements, then said "Oh, not literally, philosophically" Screw that. There is nothing philosophical, imho, in any of the comparisons he made. Like I said he was rambling for the whole thing.

    I don't believe their can be a comparison between my body(really life) and any other object.

    I normally enjoy listening to Molyneux, but he was just rambled for this vid.

    He CLEARLY states that an ipad is not the same as a kidney. THEN he goes on to explain that if you produced/bought your own ipad then you own it. Just like you have fed and clothed yourself, and taken care of your kidney. So you own your kidney, and you own your ipad. In this example THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE.

    Can you think of ANY scenario where another man has a Right to your kidney?
    Can you think of ANY scenario where another man has a Right to your ipad?

    This is where the similarities arise.

    So why even bring up they are the same to begin with? Like I said, he was rambling.
    I think he was talking out of his ass on this subject, mho of course.
