[@Lildrummerboy714]

I'm a poly sci. major and I love these! While I have to read a whole chapter that covers each of these episodes, Craig has done an awesome job of giving the base summaries in each episode. Short, sweet, and too the point. This content is great for anyone who isn't majoring in the field and wants to learn the basics. Thumbs up!

[@kevin_sfl]

If you're reading this i'm betting that you procrastinated studying for your exam and now it's too late because the exam is tomorrow and you have to cram

[@pigmunk5454]

People keep talking about how they want the Green brothers and yada yada yada, but I personally really love Craig. He's informative and pretty damn funny too.

[@Nilguiri]

He's informative because he is reading the script they wrote for him. As for being funny, I guess there is no accounting for taste but I find his lame attempts at humour to be grating and not even slightly funny. Cheers.

[@gamiezion]

Agreed, i really like craig as well. Especially since hank and john are already in so many CC series (no offence, i think both brothers are good at what they do). But as a regular off CC i really enjoy the fresh face.

[@that1valentian769]

+Nilguru, the Greens read scripts too. Sometimes, change is good

[@Grimfang999]

Nilguiri I agree with you though maybe its not the jokes themselves but his delivery. Johns jokes are usually in passing, they just sort of are part of the sentence to add some flavour. Craigs jokes are mostly "Heres a joke" hah? HAH?", leaving the pause and thus seems to be trying too hard to be funny than actually being funny. But, yeah otherwise still informative and thats the key thing. (Still was hoping for something broader than US politics but its a start I guess)

[@drink15]

Nilguiri They all have/read scripts. Craig just needs to work on his reading face and not look like he is reading.

[@GHam-f9o]

oh my gosh yes

[@RomeoCo]

I'm Canadian, so I know how it works here (or as often as not doesn't work) I know it's a very different beast in the US and I am very very curious to learn about it.

[@cpob2013]

It doesn't really have much to do with government itself since they are quasi-independent. I don't really see the point of resevations anymore. Just fully annex the tribes and have the natives as full american citizens. They can still have cultural bonds like any other group of citizens.

[@billfarce2723]

Connor O'Brien I don't know what the problem is (I'm not American), so could you explain why they should annex them? Because right now, to me, you just look like you want to annex them for the sake of stroking the american ego.

[@RomeoCo]

I'm Metis and we're sort of Native half-bloods, but with a culture unique to ourselves, distinct from whites and Natives (for the most part anyways, most Metis I know do lean towards one or the other) We hold no land and there are no Metis reservations (though you will find Metis people on most reservations in Canada). So I speak with some experience here. While I absolutely abhor the reservation system, getting ride of it whole sale would be a very bad thing. The first and foremost is it would be another example of the federal government forcing Native people off there land. (A particularly sensitive issue in Canada right now, since the whole XL Key Stone Pipline is set to be built through Indian land if it gets the go ahead.) There's also the issue of just having people who really are not naturalized, dont want to be naturalized, and frankly shouldn't have to be naturalized, being moved into the general population, many of whom don't have the skills to live in the day to day. Though at least in Canada, Urban Natives are a rapidly growing demographic, so the reservation system may soon become obsolete. While I am sure the Native community will survive that moment, I can't help but wonder... do the feds just win at that point? Turn us all into good little citizens so our conquest is complete? (Who am I kidding, I haven't set foot on a rez in 20 years and I bought in pretty whole sale to the status quot.) I have to imagine it's a similar situation in the US.

[@PopeLando]

I'm one of those (non-American) people who pride themselves on understanding the American system and American politics better than my contemporaries, but this one video showed me that most of what I thought I knew was wrong. I'm going to spend all day watching the whole series now. Brilliant.

Why is it that anytime a video about the United States everyone gets so mad. if you don't like the US then watch a different video or mabye get more educated through this video so you can talk trash and know what your talking about.

[@FieldMarshalFry]

Agent Washington the United States is very polarising, especially in Europe, mainly due to a lot of the hypocritical rhetoric from the Cold War, land of the free and all that, as long as you're white, rich, and not left wing, and the Cold War in general, we're still feeling the effects of that international dick measuring contest

[@longlonglonglonguser]

Field Marshal Fry If by "specially polarizing, specially in Europe", you mean the whole world, then im ok with it! We're no fans of the US in Latin America either, they've done some nasty stuff here, again, based on the premise of freedom and human rights *terms and conditions might apply*

[@viktorkardell9366]

[@Lotus-Son]

Appreciate the production value for helping us all to learn better, Crash Course Team! Content is superb, fun, and informative. That's most important. Haven't seen Craig's newer videos to see how he's evolved and grown into as a his own narrator/orator, but these first few videos I'm not a huge fan of his attempts at humor he tries to interject. Sometimes it comes off as an attempt to be like the green brothers and other times it just seems like he's trying to hard (like his "making it rain" bit and his "wheezy" bits). I think kids will see through this pretty fast. I hope by now he just goes with what he's most comfortable with and being more himself. It's important to bring this up because these bits sometimes really distract me from the content I'm here to listen to and learn from.

Why does it matter what the founders wanted? I never understood that. They don't have to deal with the world today with today's problems. Lets be our own founders and make the kinda country we want to live in.

[@SuperKing604]

I think what they mean is what the founders would have wanted in spirit. The founders obviously wouldn't want obama in the white house or rights for women. The problem is everybody defines "in spirit" there own way. I'm Canadian so I'm cool with out westminster style parliamentary system (our senate needs reforms though).

[@sani-tk8rf]

my version of studying for AP US history ...... all 50 videos so thanksssssssssssssssssssssss

[@lalamelol]

"Its not what the founders would have wanted". Yeah, but I'm okay with that. Our founders didn't want women to vote, counted african-american slaves as 3/5 people, and owned slaves. Not exactly the best role models. In some aspects they were ahead of their times, but that was in the late 1700s. Its 2015, time to move on.

[@cpob2013]

You, and most people, dont seem to understand 3/5 compromise. Slaves are not citezens in every civilization. The southern slave states wanted to keep them as slaves and deny them every right except when it came to population count for political representation. Higher count means more power, so they wanted the slaves to count as citizens in this one instance even though the obviously wouldnt be able to vote for any of them. The northern free states didnt want the slave states to "have their cake and eat it too". It would be nothing but further exploitation. The north was willing to tolerate slavery in the south but they didnt want slavery to influence national politics. However, there are x amount of people who need food and law enforcement which puts strain on the economy and government resources even if only y amount of people are actually citizens. So "all other peoples" would be only partially counted. Slavery is bad, but if you are going to tolerate its existence in an attempt to avoid fighting the bloodiest war in your nations history, the 3/5 is not a bad way to go.

[@lalamelol]

I do actually understand how the 3/5 compromise came to be, but the fact that our founding fathers were okay with this solution is still pretty sickening. It doesn't excuse their behavior.

[@cpob2013]

lalamelol well it was either that or no united states and slavery would continue to exist in the south.

[@puppiesyay]

lalamelol It was funny because I was like "yeah I agree, argument from tradition is stupid" then you go off and start pretending like the founding fathers are evil because they don't have the same ethics as we do over 200 years later. I mean you can literally trash any philosopher or reformer of history with this kind of dumb logic, "they didn't have the same beliefs as a modern person so they're a evil/foolish". Please just stop that. What the founders wanted is important because they stated their goals, for example a love for liberty, local governance and a hatred for oppression and foreign wars. They attempted to setup the government specifically to these ends, the further we stray from the foundations the further we stray from those values of non oppression, non war, local governance, and liberty. So while I agree that it is not a completely valid argument to say something is against the founders beliefs etc... it is still a good thing to keep in mind as a soft check on overzealous "reformers".

[@lalamelol]

I didn't say they were evil. They were human, and humans make mistakes. Therefore, hero worship and putting them up on a pedestal should probably be avoided. They did some good things, they did some bad things. But I would personally rather live now than back then when I would be denied basic rights because of the color of my skin or the lack of a penis. You can appreciate good things people have done while still acknowledging that they f*cked up in some ways. My problem is with hero worship and this strange fascination some conservatives have with going back to the "good 'ol days".

I like Craig and the way he explains things

[@Danthemanwithaplan7]

I mean this video almost seemed to frame regulations as a bad thing... But I like not having human fingers in my ground beef...

[@dianak6537]

Regulations don't have to always come from the federal government though.

[@Danthemanwithaplan7]

True but it's often the case that state regulations are ineffective because all the neighboring states will use the regulation as a competitive edge, case example is firework sales. state regulations do nothing to control the sale of these industrial explosives because all their neighbors sell them anyways. Imagine if food processing worked like that, in Ohio all eggs must be properly cleaned and refridgerated before being sold to restaurants but in Indiana they don't so businesses just ship eggs from over the border to cut costs and everyone gets salmonella

[@UnknownXV]

Danthemanwithaplan7 I do too. Businesses recognized a while ago that people don't like fingers in their beef, so they do a good job at making sure none get in there. Better for business like that. What would we ever do without stuffy regulators to save us. -_- It's depressing that so many people think we need regulators to be safe. Businesses want your money, and to get it continuously, they have to provide you a good service or product. The only real complications that ensue are when businesses violate a contract or existing patent. That's why courts are very important. As well, if a business damages the environment, there needs to be precedent to deal with this. But in terms of actual businesses? Eh. Let me put it this way. The country would do just fine if we didn't require barbers to obtain a license.

[@Danthemanwithaplan7]

UnknownXV you have a great deal of faith in people in general. But food for thought, the flow of information to the consumer is the key to seeing a change in a market. In the modern world the greatest tool to control the flow of information is money. Businesses have an awful lot of money. Just take a peek at Sea world and everything they do to obfuscate the truth about the condition of their animals and you can see what I mean.

Danthemanwithaplan7 Keep in mind, I like the idea of the FDA as a tool of information for us. I don't want them to have control over what people sell, but I do want them around to analyze products and make sure they contain what is said on the product labels, make sure their side effects are as listed, etc etc. I just don't like government agencies with the power to control. I just want information. Especially now in the age of the internet, that's all we really need.

The plural of LEGO is LEGO, or LEGO bricks. Never LEGOs!

[@unvergebeneid]

Says who? Also, what does LEGO stand for? Least ErGonomic Object? What? No acronym? Why don't you write it like a fricking word then?

[@MrStephenfull]

Says Lego. www.adrants.com/2005/09/lego-gets-pissy-about-brand-name.php Also Lego is a trunkation of 'leg godt" which means play well in danish. It is stylized in all caps. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego

[@unvergebeneid]

Stephen Full Stylized brand name spellings are something that specific company's PR department has to adhere to and _nobody_ else. All that's missing is that you're telling us that we should write LEGO® ;)

[@MrStephenfull]

I really don't understand your point. Capitalization has nothing to do with the original point that the pluralization is not "Legos"

[@unvergebeneid]

Stephen Full Wasn't _my_ original point. Or at least not the entire point. And the company has as little say on how their brand name is capitalized as they have on how it's used in everyday speech; same logic applies.

Love that they included the green bros in the intro. This guy isn't bad. He and the chick from SciShowSpace are good.
