    Did you watch the video or just read the title? It isn't political. The point of the video is not Trump or his kids....it is that people think a triceratops was killed by Trump Jr (he uses the name to distract people from the word they should be listening to). If anything the video helps illustrate the point that whenever the word Trump is mentioned some people turn off their critical thinking and refuse to listen to anything else that is being said, their minds have already been made up. This doesn't just apply to liberals. The same thing happens to some conservative when the word Obama or Hillary is mentioned.

    Google "Mark Dice". He is a conservative. He makes many similar videos where he asks simple questions, usually targeting people with liberal viewpoints, in the streets and makes them look ridiculous. While Mark Dice's video collection/YouTube channel as a whole might have a political leaning (to the right), many of his videos, including the one posted above, are definitely in the humor category.

    Also, the video format is a gag that has been done by many late night talk show hosts. It is a long established comedy skit. You might not find it funny, but that doesn't mean it isn't comedy.

    As for the ratings: you have expressed your displeasure with the removal of the ratings you are questioning a while back ago....and I have already given the reasons for their removal.

    You removed the disagree buttons and not funny buttons because you have a cry baby or two on here that can't take criticism or negative feedback. Typical liberal thinking. Well they have their safe place now so I guess they are happy.
    I still say the video is political.

    You asked that the video be moved to the political section of the forum because you didn't like the content. You were asking for me to make that thread a safe space for you. Relax, go get a sense of humor and stop being a snowflake.

    Fishes is used in Biology to refer to a multiple species of fish. You can also add an s to fish if you add an apostrophe at the end. King James new this.

    Okay now that this is in an off-topic thread;
    I am sorry if it might offend some of you that I do not follow Politics, at any level, be it the People, the Parties, or whatever! For me; every time I log onto a Facebook Page/ Forum there are out and out idiots arguing over a (insert name) Party of some type, slinging shyte, people calling others names, SO MUCH HATRED simply because of some idiot following another idiot! I find it very sad that people are so consumed... (Sorry; to me all Politicians are idiots in one way or another) One eyed people or one-sided hatred; I have no time for!

    I posted the Video BECAUSE; I could not believe that Adults would listen to questions from someone holding a microphone asking them about extinct Dinosaurs and NOT think, just for a second, and ask; "Pardon me? Are you talking about a Dinosaur?" :o o: (I am SURE ANY kid who was asked those questions would have been like; "HUH" :o o: Come on, who has NOT watched Jurassic Park or had an interest in Dinosaurs growing up as a kid knowing anything that ends with 'saurus' is not necessarily always a Thesaurus? :biggrin: lol)

    It was the stupidity and the way they pondered before giving their replies that cracked me up, it could have been Steve Job's Son for all I care! (PLEASE! Apple Fans; do not attack me, pleeeassse! :biggrin: lol)

    Okay, now let's pull up our Big Gurl Stand-up Comedian's Panties and move on... :biggrin:

    If you are going to start raking Steve Jobs over the coals, I insist that Wrye move this to the Computer (or Programming or something to do with computers), thread. And I don't like that one eyed remark one bit either as I have a one eyed cat. Oh, wait, never mind, he is not one eyed, he's just going out the door, not coming in.

    thanks for the compliment, Brian. I rated you the winner because of that picture you put up. I laughed out loud for five minutes and still having random fits of chuckle. That is not my cat but mine, like that one, does actually have one eye on one end. At least I think it is an eye. ???
