Look up "Facilitated Communication" and the ideomotor effect.

Also, Frontline did a very good documentary in '93 on FC.

Hard working or not, they sure do know how to take advantage of foodstamps and WIC. Oddly, only 1/4 of them can show me a valid US I.D for beer. How they do it, I don't know. They definitely aren't here legally and they collect the benefits anyway.

I should say it before someone else does:
That must be tough to jog with.

In response to grmpf:

Did you even read through any of my posts? I provided a sound theory as to why this may have happened, nothing more. I didn't try to excuse anything, I offered a possible explanation. The bulk of my posts (and the main point BY FAR) had nothing to do with the video. I recommend you read through all of my comments, because you are a perfect example of the conditioning the media and government puts us all through today with their constant sensationalism and bull-crap. The government is too concerned with their own petty bi-partisan squabbles and power mongering. The media feeds you nothing but drama, sensationalism and terror because THATS WHAT SELLS. A perfect example is Donald Trump...do you REALLY think he likes his hair like that? No! He does it because people make fun of it, and bad publicity is still publicity. Do you really think he cares that strongly about whatever his deal is with Rosie O'Donnell? NO! He carries it on because people talk about it, it sells tabloids, and he gets publicity. Negative publicity, but publicity nonetheless. Our Media and or Government is nothing but pointless, mindless drivel designed to play to our sick pleasures and either sway us to one side or sell something. I know I sound like some insane hippie or something, but it's only because if we want anything to change ANYWHERE, we have to do something about these problems here at home. Again, I provided my personal email just for things like this. By all means, continue to attack me with baseless, poorly thought out garbage in public.

The Liberal Avenger Says:
Hey Ian:
Where’s Osama?

Being a minor, I am often ignored when conversations like this pop up. I am honestly flattered That you consider me your equal, or at least equal enough to converse with. I would appreciate it though if you didn't put words in my mouth, nor change the subject. I never said anything about Osama, Afghanistan, or Al-Qaeda....so how about coming up with an intelligent argument to refute my own. I am more than happy to listen. Once again, I feel the need to make some sort of remark regarding bandwagons...Everybody completely missed my main point in my first comment. I could really care less what people think about the middle east right now.... The truth is, our media and our government is corrupt beyond what we could ever imagine, and it's time we stop buying into their bullshit and think for ourselves. Honestly, do you really give a damn where Lindsey Lohan is tonight or if there is a picture of Obama with his shirt off? Do you really think we should vote somebody into power based off of what they said to so-and-so or if they voted yes on something once and no the second time? Do you really care if Senator so-and-so went out drinking on his night off? Seriously, who gives a damn? Oh wait, the American public. As long as people want to argue something intelligent with asshat remarks like "Where is Osama?", nothing will ever change. Seriously, you couldn't think of anything more concrete than "Where is Osama?" I apologize If I offended you Liberal Avenger, but as of now I really think it's time for a rude awakening....for everyone. Lastly, I would like to remind everyone that I included my personal email address for a reason...if you want to engage in a personal conversation, feel free to contact me there rather than filling neatorama's bandwidth with bullshit.
I've got a huge essay I'm working on tonight, So I'm going to be checking neatorama approximately every half hour... as is my habit when on the internet. Keep the comments coming, I love intelligent conversation!

Who said I'm not going to when I'm old enough? Last time I checked, they don't take guys who are under age. By the way, I like how you turned this into a personal attack...you can call it "Civil" all you want, but I'm pretty sure that comment constitutes the opposite. I never said anything about us belonging over there, I merely stated that if we do things your way and drop what we're doing, we'll be in a bit of trouble. It's regrettable that we got involved in the first place, but we can't do anything about it now... so why not focus on fixing the problem instead of whining about it? I also included my email so you could send stuff like this directly to me. Please read the entire post before you judge someone, thanks. And next time you want to make a "Civil" comment, may I suggest you not use such a hostile and condescending tone?

Um, did you not hear their horn blaring the entire time? They may have been driving like that to get to and aid fellow soldiers or even Iraqi citizens. Those people were going out of their way to slow them down, no wonder the soldiers were getting frustrated. For crying out loud, did you see the guy near the end who just strolled out into the road picking his nose? He knew they were coming, he heard the horn...but he jumped out in front anyways. These people are completely ungrateful and are just as responsible for creating the current situation as anyone else. AND ENOUGH BLAMING BUSH FOR EVERYTHING, do you REALLY think he sent out a memo to these soldiers saying "Be the biggest asshat possible!"? Bush isn't responsible for half the crap people blame him for....he's certainly an idiot and has done a lot of damage, but stop using him as a scapegoat and do something about it yourself! Maybe you could actually stand up for yourselves, stop buying into the hype and what the media tells you to think, and make it known you want a change! Don't just vote people into office because they're from a different party than your scapegoat, vote for the people who actually have a clue. Let the politicians and the media know that you can think for yourself, and you don't eat up their sensationalism and bulls**t like it's your last meal. And for Pete's sake, don't give them any reason to think otherwise! The constant political mudslinging and drivel in the media isn't there because the people who produce it THINK you like it, they do it because they KNOW you like it! the only reason politicians draw attention to their opponents personal (AND COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT) faults is because they know thats all the American public is interested in today, and it has to stop! These people didn't get where they are today because of legs-up and blundering alone, they know how to work the crowd, and they do it well. STOP BUYING INTO WHAT YOUR TOLD TO AND THINK FOR YOURSELVES. Yes, our current situation in the middle east is bad, but are you doing anything to help by whining?! BUSH ISN'T SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR US BEING OVER THERE, intelligence from U.S AND INTERNATIONAL sources said there was a threat, and Bush jumped the gun. Now that we are over there, the uneducated, gullible, and vulnerable populous is a perfect recruiting ground for misguided, angry individuals who want nothing more than to destroy the U.S. What do you think will happen if we leave now? Iraq's oil fields will be GUARANTEED to fall into radicalist's hands, and we'll be in for a big surprise. The people over there have been misled and uneducated for centuries, and are easily fooled OR SUBJUGATED into believing whatever they are told, as long as they are told it's in the name of god. If we leave now, Iraq will become Terror-central, funded by oil. I may be completely wrong, who knows...But as long as you guys are allowed to voice your opinions, so am I. If I am proven wrong, I will be more than happy to apologize and be humble...but at least I didn't believe what I was told to. If anyone wants to contact/yell at me...my email is: senatorcynical@gmail.com. Remember, You can't change my mind and I can't change yours. I have just as much right to voice my opinion as you, so don't insult me in my personal space.
