This is interesting. Not in a generate discussion type of way (anything like that would probably end up in the basement), but interesting enough that I thought a wider audience might be interesting in seeing it.

(12.6 KB, 500x260 - viewed 3657 times.)A hundred years ago they said that masturbating would make you go blind. We’ve progressed. Today, we’re told that watching moderate amounts of pornography will shrink your brain. The claim arrives courtesy of a brain imaging paper published last month in JAMA Psychiatry, a respected medical journal.
Among the global hyperbolic headlines that followed, my favourite was from a German site: “Pea brain: watching porn online will wear out your brain and make it shrivel.” Others included “Viewing porn shrinks the brain” (from the reliably untrustworthy Daily Mail) and Watching Porn Linked To Less Gray Matter In The Brain (from Huffington Post).
Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

This is interesting. Not in a generate discussion type of way (anything like that would probably end up in the basement), but interesting enough that I thought a wider audience might be interesting in seeing it.Thanks for that. Being as ignorant as I am about US politics, I found it interesting - though somewhat alarming. It seems to engage in an awful lot of "labelling" (some of which seems pejorative), and the result looks like a simplistic view of a strongly polarised religio-political ideological dichotomy. Is that how it actually seems to be perceived by the majority of Americans? (I see @40hz thinks it is spot-on.)

@wraith - Thanks for that! I'm going to print it out for closer study. Although there may be a few things anybody could quibble over from either side of the spectrum, a quick look and skim seems to say it's spot on.
3 very short clips in the vid at the link.
I'd never seen the first or the third before. The third is amazing and gets me every time.
I had seen the second one (or one similar to it) before and the first time I watched it I got the count right and passed the test, but I suspect that it's a matter of concentration and awareness as much as anything.

A video filmed at Barcelona airport shows two planes almost crashing on the runway. An Airbus 340 is shown crossing the runway at El Prat Airport in Spain as a flight from Moscow is coming in to land. Seeing the Airbus in its path, the pilot of the Boeing 767 from Russia aborts the landing. The plane then lands safely on the runway shortly afterwards.
