Thank you. Your support means a lot. And yeah, though we want to strike a good balance (I know talking over the speaker is in fact very annoying and a habit to kick), we want to remain ourselves, like you say. We want to add value to what we put out, we're not just here to be nodding heads. It's fine if you prefer that, but it's not our idea for the channel. Thanks again.

[@NJBaars]

New to this channel, but if you don’t want creators to pause to react WHY do people watch reaction vids? Keep on doing so, I like it.

I hate the censorship that’s why I don’t watch channels with the bleeping 😂

I love the plastic thing. You go to a store and get a cart or basket made of plastic or has plastic parts, every product is wrapped in plastic, or has multi-packs of plastic inside another plastic bag inside cardboard. Pay with plastic on a plastic pinpad, get a receipt out of a plastic machine out of a plastic register, which is usually thrown away into a plastic trashcan with a plastic bag in it. But the bags are bad! Working in stores the bags are nothing compared to the massive amounts of product we throw away every week.

[@WW-Reactions]

Oh but you can go to a fancy store with your own jar and buy the zero waste products that will be priced 50% more. Or in a biodegradable packaging, also coincidentally more expensive. And if it's not, then the store will at least be 5km out of your way. It's crazy how much plastic we could save with small changes - for example they wanted to get rid off the lables off plastic bottles, leaving the logo on caps or as a stamp on the plastic, but of course that wouldn't sell well enough.

[@tapasprinsen]

You don’t save the world by recycling. It’s like trying to empty the oceans with a fork… scoop away!😂

Carlin has been my favorite comedian since the 1970s But a lot of people seem to forget that he is a comedian. Although there is truth in a lot of what he says, he exaggerates for cometic effect. His earlier routines like " Stuff * or " airplane " was less political but still was exaggerated. RIP George

Hi Guy's Nice reaction... George is great & Was always ahead of the time's... Very Very Smart Man... Unfortunately, I beg to differ on the Global warming opinion's, Firstly I think in reality, We as the human race are actually experiencing a full Evaluation of the planet earth, In which we never really have before... Secondly, Now a day's everyone's claiming it's our emissions that are causing these extreme temperatures, But if you ever watch the news on tv, Usually at the beginning of the Weather spot, They will usually show, Today's temp, Last year's temp on that day, Along with the record temps... Highs & Lows In which around 85% of the time happened during the late 1800's or early 1900's When Emissions were barely a thought, More less in our air & skies.. Yes, Let's do our part & keep the planet clean... But as George say's, And he does give us many examples of what the planet earth has already experienced Way before we ever were on the planet & While we've been on the planet. Seriously are straws & plastic bag's etc. Really going to cause any damage to the actual planet ? Just be good people & don't throw our garbage on the ground or in the water's to begin with..

[@genostellar]

In regard to endangered species and global warming, I have two things to say about that. The first is, whether it's our fault or not, the fact that it happens naturally is not enough to say that we should not interfere with it. We are a part of it, after all, and we are affected by it. Therefor, if we can fix it, why shouldn't we? We are a part of the natural process. It's like doing something just because it's tradition. Just because it's how it's always been, that doesn't mean that it should never change, especially if it can be made better. The second thing I have to say is that we don't always know or understand the consequences of our actions. We have the ability to fix things, but quite often our fixes create more problems than they solve. Sure, we can get better at this, but we really shouldn't do anything major until we know for sure what we're doing. This, I think, is part of George Carlin's point.

[@synical13]

Why should we decide what changes and what doesn't? We tend to want to keep things in a way that we're used to, what's comfortable, but we shouldn't expand that idea beyond our society. We need to let nature do it's thing, not save animals that can't adapt and survive, we're stalling evolution. If we can't adapt to the changes then it's our time to go as well. Nature will not stagnate for us, we will lose that battle eventually no matter what. We're just animals, not gods of nature, it's not our responsibility and we shouldn't interfere. Like Carlin said, "We're so self important". We've decided that it's necessary for us to exist forever...WHY? What makes us so special to nature? The answer is, NOTHING.

[@genostellar]

@@synical13 "Why should we decide what changes and what doesn't?" Why shouldn't we? All we have to do is actually learn what works and what doesn't, then we can make the planet work for us instead of destroying it. "We need to let nature do it's thing" Dude, we are a part of nature. Didn't you notice? We don't need to let the rest of it do it's thing and never interfere, just like we don't need to interfere. There is literally nothing judging what is the correct action beyond what hurts us and what does not. "we're stalling evolution" Being able to allow species to continue to survive is also a part of evolution. There are many species that only survive due to the assistance of other forms of life. What makes our assistance any different? "If we can't adapt to the changes then it's our time to go as well." I'm glad that sits so well with you. It doesn't sit so well with me. I'm not in favor of watching humanity die out just because you feel like its our time to go. Besides, it's clearly not our time at all. Have you seen how many people are on the planet today? The population has increased by at least 2 billion so far since I was a kid. That's hardly humanity on the way out. "Nature will not stagnate for us, we will lose that battle eventually no matter what. We're just animals, not gods of nature" That doesn't mean we shouldn't try. By your reasoning, hunting is pointless because we will all eventually die in the end, so we might as well just starve to death now. "it's not our responsibility and we shouldn't interfere." Who says we shouldn't? Besides, it's not interfering. We are a part of it. Are ants interfering when they build their tunnels, or bees when they build their hives? You have this problem of thinking of people as being separate from nature. We take the responsibility because we are the ones who decide to be responsible. Nobody gives it to us, nor can anything give it. And even if it wasn't, that doesn't mean we should not interfere. We only need to stop messing it up. "Like Carlin said, "We're so self important"." Well, the point there is that we're not. We're just animals like everything else. However, we are intelligent animals who are capable of changing things to our liking, so why not? "We've decided that it's necessary for us to exist forever...WHY?" Again, why not? There is no reason for us to cease to exist just because we've been around for a while. If you want to stop existing, then you go right ahead. The rest of us would rather not if we can help it, thank you. "What makes us so special to nature? The answer is, NOTHING." No, the answer is that we make ourselves important. We are the ones who decide importance. The whole idea of importance in this universe is a human concept. In the vast scheme of things, nothing is important. Controlling nature or letting it do it's own thing, neither one is important to do. Neither one matters in the end. For all your arguing over what should or should not be done, the planet dies with the sun in 5 billion years either way. So why not see what you can do with it while it's here? Why not make it work for you? Otherwise, go back to the stone age and live out of a cave.

We could certainly slow it down some, though, don't you think? "We" as in humanity at large, not you and me of course.

[@BresciGaetano]

You totally missed the point and i don't blame you, you are grown in a upsidownd world where the tool for social control are so powerful. I agree we have an impact in some aspect and there is no deny even in Carlin words about this. But the arrogance to be the one that can control for their benefit (even if is a need to comply to some moral directions) is what bring us here in the first place... This is the concept and no i don't really think Carlin would have turned upsidown as the leftist propaganda sources did in the last years. He was criticiseing exactly this, even if at the time was a more rightwing position. We live in a so upsidedown world that even nuclear get sold as green this days... If i start on the cats misconceptions you where stateing at the begining i will never end. But i'm a random idiot on the net... try to research and lern about cat ethology, their history and where they are endemic to. Try to lern the history of war on strays (no it has nothing to do with love for them even if is sold that way)... Then ask yourselff is a cat to blame for the extinction of an animal because he killed the last couple of guys that was strugglimg to survive after we fucked up with all the surroundings? Why should the felis catus speacies pay loseing their historical and ethological lifestyle not to mention freedom (that is a need pretty high in their behavioural paradigm) because we don't wanna change ours? Most of what you are thaught to accept as love for nature is the exact opposite. But is an old story that to use environmental camouflage to bring antropocentric desires to life. If you dunno what to do with your time try to lern more for exaple of people like Julian Huxley. Father of the Transumanitsic phylosophy, president of the british eugenic society, while at the sametime founding father and first president of WWF and first president of UNESCU. Yeah an unimportant man who's brother is obviously more renown since was a sci-fi writer (Aldous Huxley) and the menthor of Orwell.

[@TheC.O.-VISIT]

There have been several cataclysmic climactic events in the past, ice ages and such, none of which we had any influence over. We've only had scientific equipment to be able to track weather for the past 100 years at best. In Carlin's videos you'll notice that he never mentions global warming, that's because it wasn't a thing. In the 70s, 80s, and 90s the fad at that time was the ozone layer. All you ever heard about was the ozone layer and CFCs. Then, the ozone layer was repairing itself. All of a sudden, that just vanished from the media and all of a sudden the next fad appeared: Climate change. Global warming. Purely political, no one is actually doing anything about it. Everyone has his or her opinion on the subject, I think it's all b.s.

[@michaelsoper3610]

The central fallacy in your view is that you don't recognize humans as part of the natural environment. By definition, EVERYTHING created by humans IS natural and part of the natural environment. Further, everything created by humans was created using natural substances; the combining of natural substances with other natural substances, does not create an unnatural product. What you deem 'waste' is simply the natural by-product of the energy cycle; an essential component of the natural universe since its inception.

[@WW-Reactions]

That's an interesting perspective, but to me it seems more of a philisophical than scientific concept. We don't have any other frame of reference - they way you describe it, everything in the universe is natural and the word loses its purpose and meaning. We use the word "synthetic" to describe what we've altered in a way that would not have been possible but for the intelligent life intervetion, or so I understand. I don't think a turtle cares the plastic it chokes on its natural, and neither do the microplastic passed down the food chain or the food chain disturbances. What I'm saying is - we don't have a control group, we don't know any other civilisations on other planets that cause the same disturbances we do. I don't think we have the knwoledge to say what will go out first - us or the planet, either because we advance technologically to survive in some capactiy on the planet until the heat death, or because we view the plant as our home and it will no longer be able to sustain us. Fascinating subject :D

[@michaelsoper3610]

Again, pre-supposing that a natural creature (human), using naturally occurring materials, can create unnatural materials is a human construct with no basis in reality. Most have been mislead by activists masquerading as scientists, while profiteering off snake oil 'cures', for imaginary problems.

[@Promatheos]

On global warming it’s just nature and it’s our influence. It’s both because we are nature too. There aren’t two things happening, what we do and what nature does. There’s one thing, what nature does and that’s what we are inside.

[@thewonkyembouchure]

Yes, the human species is intrinsically interconnected with nature. Everything we do can be seen as natural in this light. However, we're also the only species to have evolved to wear ties and high heels-some of us even wear both. Make of that what you will-and the implications thereof. While climatic changes are part and parcel of this planet’s existence, Climate Change™isn’t simply nature running its course; it’s our anthropogenic behaviours tipping the balance. Will the planet survive our actions? Yep. Will our days be numbered? One can only hope.
