Youtube typecast!

Probably because compared to the American political views we are more Left wing. (Thank God in my oppinion).

That's exactly the reason.

No problems. I don't neccessarily agree with your opinions sir. But I defend to the death your right to express them.

 

[Tristar777]

And Id do the same for you too bud. Thats what links our two countries together I believe.
Have a good night.

I knew the ones you were talking about. My statements stand; many of those aren't the subculture but rather the mainstream here. Probably not the conspiracy thoeries but DEFINITELY the Obama theories are mainstream.

You're quite right that their views are completely different to the average European though. TBH the average American thinks of the average European as somewhat Marxist.

hi santaman ,i'm am average American and also belive with your above statement and also think ALOT of europeans are American haters for one reason or another aswell... by the way we have our own home grown American haters and do'nt need any help from our euro brothers and sisters LOL!...vince g. 11B INF...

It is not so much as Europeans hate Americans its more that we don't understand them or how they think. They seem the same as us in so many ways but then say and do the oddest things. I don't think it helps that European idiots are happy to sit in front of the TV and do nothing all day whereas American idiots insist on getting involved with stuff they have no true understanding of ie Religion and politics. On paper it should be a good thing to be more involved with society the reality is you have simple minded people forcing agendas on how the country works and not for the better.

All the stuff that is suggested for me is Bushcraft based....

 

[rancid badger]

The few I've seen contain somebody talking for ten minutes or longer to show something that takes five seconds to do.

Here you go then,here's one with no talking at all and only 1min 49 seconds.

That's more like it, no pfaffing about! Short, sharp, to the point and doesn't require any speakers to listen to it.

I'm pretty sure the "suggestions" down the right hand side are based on previous searches

Realy...get loads for Viagra on mine...gulp.:bluThinki

You could be right Shewie, I very very rarely look at YouTube. I just did and the right hand strip is blank..

Have you guy's noticed that everytime you check out a bit of youtube bushcraft related stuff, you end up with a load of conspiracey theory/rambo survivalism nonsense in the righthand recommended column! It's very disconcerting i feel.. Especially when I see bushcraft as a legitamate environmental activity. It's not going to do much for bushcraft (think, prospective land owners/buddies you want to show what we do/wives/employers/employees/parents of youngsters etc.) I suppose it's just a computery thing, but it is rather annoying! Why do I want Nazi pyramids under the antarctic related to ray mears skinning a moose????? Maybe it's just me? Maybe I shouldn't go on youtube after a couple of glasses of wine!irate:
Peace.

Lot of people see survivalism and conspiracy research as legitimate too; I really can't see how 'bushcraft' is any more a legitimate interest than they are?

How is it possible to NOT have an understanding of politics? All politics starts with the individual. For that matter so does religion.

People can I please remind you all to keep within the rules of the forum regarding politics and religion. Should this thread carry on the way it's headed I may be forced to close and delete it. As always thank you for your cooperation and understanding

I get bushcraft related vids. and Sherlock Holmes?

 

[rik_uk3]

Bushcraft as defined by member Stewart

Serious hat in use too.

Google(which is youtube) suggested feature and search features are based upon the searches of other people. Typically if you go on a bushcraft video, suggested videos will be more bushcraft videos. However if someone wants to survive a zombie apocalypse so visits a bushcraft channel and immediately watch some cheesy documentary about Nazi's or the Illuminati or something it will appear in your suggested videos. It sounds strange but I can assure you a lot of people look up bushcraft videos (particularly the more popular ones or ones given easy to understand titles i.e. 'Best Axe!!!!' rather than a 'review of xxx axe') do so entirely because they buy into world conspiracy theories... chemtrails, jews, alien queen of Britain etc and want to prepare themselves for the collapse of society.
And by them I mean those awesome Americans

As has been said its all about the links. Bushcraft video viewers in the USA tend to be Republicans who are also very religious this leads to all sorts of sub culture interests that are nothing like what the average European Bushcrafter is into.

In my opinion, the thread was not derailed for religion and politics. It was derailed for American bashing, just saying. ; )

 

[Toddy]

You need to quote the posts before and after those to get the tone of the conversation though.

Tbh, it's a niggly thread, neither pleasant or fun to read.

It might disappear.

Not sure I'd call it "bashing" Gordon. I think "scapegoating" might be a better description.

It was probably that search I did for 'Scully from the x-files, looking for mushrooms+wearing hot pants!!!

I'm pretty sure the "suggestions" down the right hand side are based on previous searches
