    i thought that was his whole thing. i also find it disturbing when they ask them stuff like 'name 2 countries in north america' and they answer:

    "isn't north america a country?"

    Years ago, I saw something about a famous actress (I don't remember who now) on a game show who apparently thought Europe was a country.

    This actually does *not* suprise me at all. There have been many movements over the years to "dumb down" what people are taught by reducing the number
    of "things" that exist. Things like:

    "There are only three (or four) continents."
    "There is only one ocean."
    "There are only four Great Lakes."
    "There are only 8 planets."

    Etc.

    Someone who was taught in a "dumb down" system would probably believe that "North America" refers to the northern USA instead of the continent.

    Yes, but there are 57 genders... :)

    Oh, yeah, I didn't think of that. We need to remove things like continents
    and oceans so the kids have room to remember all the new genders that have
    been discovered. :D

    Wait long enough and we'll go back to one ocean and one continent. The
    earth will finally be genderless since we'll all be, you know... dead.

    There were times when he'd expose some opinionated college kids as
    being ill-informed, and those were entertaining just because those
    kids reminded me of so many opinionated fellow students I knew back
    then.


    i thought that was his whole thing. i also find it disturbing when
    they ask them stuff like 'name 2 countries in north america' and they answer:

    "isn't north america a country?"
    "north america. africa"

    I think that was the hook, but it was more about trying to have
    meaningful dialogue with people. Kinda like the 'change my
    mind' guy...

    Those were the only videos of him I was ever exposed to while he was alive, but apparently he also did TV interviews and held campus
    rallies. I never saw him discuss religion in any of the videos I saw (always politics or world events) but apparently he did a whole lot of that.

    Yeah, he was always witnessing for Jesus and pointing people to
    God. That's not what the bulk of the viral videos were, but it
    was the main point of his ministry.
