[video=youtube;9F0AtKeExOA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F0AtKeExOA[/video] I'm really not very familiar with Zeitgeist movement but this interview was pretty interesting anyway.
RT (such a great news station :rolleyes:) interviews an equally retarded person. Oh boy.
We watched Zeitgeist in Argumentation and Research class the other day. It was completely and totally moronic, filled with obvious lies and basically claimed every single war and catastrophe in US history was caused by the Rothchilds and was an inside job by the government, including the original Revolutionary War, Pearl Harbor, Vietnam, and 9/11. It had a ton of claims like "there are no pictures of plane wreckage from the Pentagon attack" which can be easily refuted with a simple Google search. And yet there were still idiots in my class that ate that shit up, and even the teacher took the stance of "you can't really know either way".

[QUOTE=Aman;42909369]You watched that in school? Why?[/QUOTE] It's college. We're supposed to examine the tactics the film uses to try to convince us of things. We're also supposed to research and write about some of the individual claims that it makes.

We took valuable class time over the course of two days to watch it in it's entirety.
Did you learn some critical thinking skills analysing that piece of shit or was it really a waste of time?
