Post by: Jacob on February 13, 2013, 01:21:47 pm: I'll kick us off with a great documentary that I saw last night about the 1st Battalion, Grenadier Guards. They are the ones that guard Buckingham Palace and the documentary shows footage of them in Helmand Province and the UK, preparing for the Trooping of the Colour on the Queen's birthday parade.

Post by: Mekkil the Graet on February 17, 2013, 10:53:59 am: "The Light Bulb Conspiracy" was on TV a year ago or so. Must have been one of the best and most informative documentaries I have seen for a while. To make a long story short, it's about companies and planned obsolescence. I think I found a version uploaded on youtube. With Norwegian subtitles.

Just gorgeous. The message is powerful too, if a bit alarmist.

This subject matter will transcend the issues of cultural relativism and traditional ideology and move to relate the core, empirical life ground attributes of human and social survival, extrapolating those immutable natural laws into a new sustainable social paradigm called a Resource-Based Economy."

Post by: Moogs on February 19, 2013, 01:32:34 am: Decided to watch "Escape to the Legion", thoroughly enjoyed all four episodes.

I was worried because it was a Bear Grylls documentary. Luckily for me he wasn't the central piece of the programme and therefore I enjoyed it a lot.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Not that Thundersnow, but it is very clear that the monetary system is a very outdated concept and thats its becoming more and more detrimental to humanity to the extent that we seriously need to overcome the current limitations that we have imposed upon ourselves.
