Hey fellas, you know how i said I wanted a YouTube channel? Other than the mic and editing software, I have everything I need to get this started. Even though I don't watch him anymore, I like IHE's style of having a character talk on screen, so it's going to be in that style, and my friends have encouraged that (I'm just worried about people calling me a rip-off). My channel will be a ranting of sorts channel, and I'll try to stay out of serious current events like Donald Trump, ISIS, etc.. and will focus more on entertainment, the internet, and maybe some philosophical things like veganism from time to time. I don't plan on showing my face often, and when I do, it's going to be for temporary moments. I have a few ideas for some videos, but I'm starting to think of what I should make my first video about. Probably a channel trailer or something. I don't plan on getting huge, but about 300 subs would be nice.

Do you guys think I should go through with this? Or am I wasting my time? Or any recommendations?

Nothings a waste of time if you enjoy doing it. Your writing is entertaining, so I'd imagine with audio and video it could be a real success. Go for it!

I had two responses pop in my head in response to this question, 1 honest, and 1 comedic/sarcastic, (which I think you get ;) ) and I decided to use them both.

1- (funny/sarcastic) No, I have a compulsion to lie to strangers on the internet, and this revelation is the only honest thing I have ever said.

2- (honest) You've made me laugh, and I appreciate your sarcastic sense of humor. If your videos are as entertaining with visual stimuli, I'd watch them.

Thank you for stroking my ego ;)

Cenk didn't want a debate with Roger Stone because he doesn't want to give him a platform. He was angry because Roger Stone IS a huge liar.

In part three, 'Atheism is Unstoppable' plays a clip of Alex Jones and Roger Stone talking about what happened (as if they're a credible honest source). Roger Stone said the left resorts to violence, when he's someone who has threatened politicians who won't support Trump at the convention with violence in their hotel rooms. :roll:
Why would you want to give someone like that a platform? The guy who made that video is either incredibly ignorant of the person he is talking about, or he's being dishonest.

Cenk was also angry because Alex Jones came onto his show without consent and starting spewing bullshit, though notice he was calm until Alex Jones called Bill Clinton a rapist (which is an obvious lie). I don't buy that "Alex Jones is just trying to have a discussion!" narrative, that's ridiculous. He was being antagonizing and hijacked the show. He's also a crazy conspiracy theorist and having a discussion with him seriously isn't productive.

Isn't that YouTuber the same guy who said Ana Kasparian isn't really white because she's Armenian? And seriously, calling him 'Gank' and constantly referencing that he's overweight? Calling Ana 'shrill bitch', 'hook nosed' and a 'hood rat'? Seriously? WTF? And then he calls her classless, after accusing Cenk of projection? :roll:
Though I agree calling Alex Jones a "fat fuck" was wrong and hypocritical, and Jimmy shouldn't have spat, and Cenk should've tried to remain calmer.

He's also wrong about Wolf-PAC, which is an amazing organization, but that's not so relevant.

Straw Poll: Do you guys think I should change my screen name to just Red? I checked the registered users, no one is named Red, so it's opened. Anyways, do you think I should change it? Or does the apple define me in some sort of way?
