I agree and he does make you interested in the subject but you do realize he's reading off a screen 📺

wait is everybody here in college? cause I'm only in 5th

sadly for you I have to watch this for completing classroom questions

Hah, I am not a crammer at the current instance in time but instead I am studying the week before the test, so hah. I am greater than you Troll God. That means I am a Titan figure!!!

Close, I have to write a six paragraph esssay on a Sunday at 12:37 am and it is worth 60% of my grade :^)) so ye a h

No , I procrastinated the searching for a job worse than that i'm not even an american and never been in America yet I'm watching a video about America's Federalism

It's raining outside, it's winter, and I'm bored.

oh my gosh yes

I'm Canadian, so I know how it works here (or as often as not doesn't work) I know it's a very different beast in the US and I am very very curious to learn about it.

It doesn't really have much to do with government itself since they are quasi-independent. I don't really see the point of resevations anymore. Just fully annex the tribes and have the natives as full american citizens. They can still have cultural bonds like any other group of citizens.

Connor O'Brien I don't know what the problem is (I'm not American), so could you explain why they should annex them? Because right now, to me, you just look like you want to annex them for the sake of stroking the american ego.

I'm Metis and we're sort of Native half-bloods, but with a culture unique to ourselves, distinct from whites and Natives (for the most part anyways, most Metis I know do lean towards one or the other) We hold no land and there are no Metis reservations (though you will find Metis people on most reservations in Canada). So I speak with some experience here. While I absolutely abhor the reservation system, getting ride of it whole sale would be a very bad thing. The first and foremost is it would be another example of the federal government forcing Native people off there land. (A particularly sensitive issue in Canada right now, since the whole XL Key Stone Pipline is set to be built through Indian land if it gets the go ahead.) There's also the issue of just having people who really are not naturalized, dont want to be naturalized, and frankly shouldn't have to be naturalized, being moved into the general population, many of whom don't have the skills to live in the day to day. Though at least in Canada, Urban Natives are a rapidly growing demographic, so the reservation system may soon become obsolete. While I am sure the Native community will survive that moment, I can't help but wonder... do the feds just win at that point? Turn us all into good little citizens so our conquest is complete? (Who am I kidding, I haven't set foot on a rez in 20 years and I bought in pretty whole sale to the status quot.) I have to imagine it's a similar situation in the US.

^This because I've tried to understand how both work or possibly interact and I haven't been very successful (from US).

***** don't worry mate, few of us understand as well, you try to bring a group of nations that have been at each other throats for the last few thousand years together, everything gets very complex very fast

***** Try CGP grey

Jonathan Guzman But how? We've never even seen that guy's face.

Theo Buniel That guy can still teach you thangs. Like how to speel.

He's informative because he is reading the script they wrote for him. As for being funny, I guess there is no accounting for taste but I find his lame attempts at humour to be grating and not even slightly funny. Cheers.

Agreed, i really like craig as well. Especially since hank and john are already in so many CC series (no offence, i think both brothers are good at what they do). But as a regular off CC i really enjoy the fresh face.

+Nilguru, the Greens read scripts too. Sometimes, change is good

Nilguiri I agree with you though maybe its not the jokes themselves but his delivery. Johns jokes are usually in passing, they just sort of are part of the sentence to add some flavour. Craigs jokes are mostly "Heres a joke" hah? HAH?", leaving the pause and thus seems to be trying too hard to be funny than actually being funny. But, yeah otherwise still informative and thats the key thing. (Still was hoping for something broader than US politics but its a start I guess)

Nilguiri They all have/read scripts. Craig just needs to work on his reading face and not look like he is reading.

Why is it that anytime a video about the United States everyone gets so mad. if you don't like the US then watch a different video or mabye get more educated through this video so you can talk trash and know what your talking about.

Agent Washington the United States is very polarising, especially in Europe, mainly due to a lot of the hypocritical rhetoric from the Cold War, land of the free and all that, as long as you're white, rich, and not left wing, and the Cold War in general, we're still feeling the effects of that international dick measuring contest

Field Marshal Fry If by "specially polarizing, specially in Europe", you mean the whole world, then im ok with it! We're no fans of the US in Latin America either, they've done some nasty stuff here, again, based on the premise of freedom and human rights *terms and conditions might apply*

longlonglonglonguser Yeah, but the way understand it the polarisation consist of the 1 percent of rich people vs the 99% of poor, where the rich likes the US and everyone else hates them, right? Or is that too generalising?

I think what they mean is what the founders would have wanted in spirit. The founders obviously wouldn't want obama in the white house or rights for women. The problem is everybody defines "in spirit" there own way. I'm Canadian so I'm cool with out westminster style parliamentary system (our senate needs reforms though).

***** no ones says throw out the ideas but maybe not be so obsessed with what they would think?

***** nope I'm saying that in general.

SuperKing604 amen brotha/sista! (don't want to assume anything).

That was kinda the whole point of amendments. As the country grows and changes, the succeeding generations would shape the constitution to better suit their lives

Why not?

Regulations don't have to always come from the federal government though.

True but it's often the case that state regulations are ineffective because all the neighboring states will use the regulation as a competitive edge, case example is firework sales. state regulations do nothing to control the sale of these industrial explosives because all their neighbors sell them anyways. Imagine if food processing worked like that, in Ohio all eggs must be properly cleaned and refridgerated before being sold to restaurants but in Indiana they don't so businesses just ship eggs from over the border to cut costs and everyone gets salmonella

Danthemanwithaplan7 I do too. Businesses recognized a while ago that people don't like fingers in their beef, so they do a good job at making sure none get in there. Better for business like that. What would we ever do without stuffy regulators to save us. -_- It's depressing that so many people think we need regulators to be safe. Businesses want your money, and to get it continuously, they have to provide you a good service or product. The only real complications that ensue are when businesses violate a contract or existing patent. That's why courts are very important. As well, if a business damages the environment, there needs to be precedent to deal with this. But in terms of actual businesses? Eh. Let me put it this way. The country would do just fine if we didn't require barbers to obtain a license.

UnknownXV you have a great deal of faith in people in general. But food for thought, the flow of information to the consumer is the key to seeing a change in a market. In the modern world the greatest tool to control the flow of information is money. Businesses have an awful lot of money. Just take a peek at Sea world and everything they do to obfuscate the truth about the condition of their animals and you can see what I mean.

Danthemanwithaplan7 Keep in mind, I like the idea of the FDA as a tool of information for us. I don't want them to have control over what people sell, but I do want them around to analyze products and make sure they contain what is said on the product labels, make sure their side effects are as listed, etc etc. I just don't like government agencies with the power to control. I just want information. Especially now in the age of the internet, that's all we really need.
