    That's strange,because I got that feeling too...
    Wonder why ? No, must be a coincindence.
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    If only You Tube had moderators even remotely near the quality of those here on the .Org and over at TWcenter.
    Edit: And a majority of intelligent users for them to moderate. I once ran upon a certain individual who claimed to be a university-educated expert on Classical Greek warfare,yet he had no clue what a Sloped Theban Phalanx was.

    Yeah,maybe. But,still,it's difficult to pass off a gut feeling like that.
    Amazing how it's possible for individuals who constantly interact through text to recognize eachother through the words we type.

    Dude, the less you read Youtube comments, the more human you are.

    Meh, they're trying to turn History Channel into a brand like they did with Discovery Channel every since they got super ratings form the original Walking With Dinosaurs.

    As my English Teacher once said, this sort of thing could be summed up as 'intellectual pornography' since you're getting the quick instant gratifications of abbreviated knowledge rather than the actual substance.
