No, I don't?

Since when are watching to learn and watching to be entertained two different things? I like lectures more than I like TV shows.

You're not right. Either watch it, or don't. But don't bitch to me about not selling it to you/begging you to watch it. It made an impact on me so I posted it.

DDtempest, you negrepped me for my post? Nice. It's not terrible logic, it comes down to a matter of how much time you'd like to waste. A TV show recommendation post (where, after recommending it, you complain that others are not watching it even though you didn't properly sell it -- basically guilt tripping people into a watching something) is not that much different than posting an interesting lecture on Veganism. TV shows are a higher time investment and honestly, I enjoyed watching the hour of the lecture more than I did the first season of The Wire. If i'm missing something, please let me know.

You automatically made assumptions about the video without even watching it; this is your problem, not mine. The fact that me, motherfucking is posting a video about VEGANISM that has influenced me should honestly be enough to spark your curiosity. I really doubt typing out a summary of the video would influence you guys one way or the other.

You guys are being pretty huge niggers about this. I understand there has been a lack of content on the board lately, but there's no reason to be such whiny niggers, really.
