Richard Dawkins - Sex, Death and the Meaning of Life - Part 1: Sin [+Subs]
If there is no God watching us, why be good?
Richard Dawkins examines sin. He asks whether the old religious rules about what is right and wrong are helpful and explores what science can tell us about how to be good.
Dawkins journeys from riot-torn inner city London to America's Bible Belt, building a powerful argument that religion's absolutist moral codes fuel lies and guilt.
He finds the most extreme example in a Paris plastic surgery clinic that specialises in making Muslim brides appear to be virgins once again.
But what can science and reason tell us about morality? Through encounters with lemurs, tango dancers, the gay rights campaigner Matthew Parris and the scientist Steven Pinker, Dawkins investigates the deeper roots of moral behaviour in our evolutionary past.
He explores the rituals that surround mating and the science of disgust and taboo. Drawing on crime data and insights from neuroscience, he argues that our evolved senses of reason and empathy appear to be making us more and more moral, even as religious observance declines.

VANG PAO KILLED NHIA KAO - CHARLIE VANG ?
MRS. CHARLIE VANG - MEE XIONG (the wife of Nhia Kao Charlie Vang) finally spoke out on April 19, 2016 on teleconference...listen to the truth and stay tune for more. CALLING JUSTICE for CHARLIE VANG! Vang Pao sent Charlie Vang on a mission trip and went missing/dead no where to be found. Vang Pao also sent 3 other Hmong men of his from USA to Thailand. It was a setup by Vang Pao. Vang Pao bated Charlie Vang to go to Thailand with the money and his 3 other guy (Nhia Her, Vang Thai, ?) to robbed Charlie Vang and killed him....
The part that was not included - As soon as Mrs. Charlie Vang found out about her husband missing - she flew from MN to CA and confronted Vang Pao. Mrs. Charlie Vang confronted Vang Pao about the issue and Vang Pao insisted to drink the MONSTER DRINK (this was always his way to escape any accusation lol) that his team didn't killed Charlie Vang.

____________________________
WASHINGTON -- Charlie Vang left Minneapolis last November, telling his wife he was taking a trip to Thailand. Two months later, witnesses said, Vang was thrown from a boat heading across the Mekong River into Laos, after a gunfire attack from Laos.
Despite an investigation by U.S. officials, Vang, 45, has never been found. When the boats returned to Thailand after the attack, the only sign of him was his U.S. passport, which was found in one of the boats.
Vang's fellow travelers -- three Americans and three permanent U.S. residents -- were arrested in Thailand and charged with carrying concealed weapons, among other violations. They spent a month in jail and were then released without explanation by Thai authorities, according to the State Department.
Vang was born in Laos and comes from the Hmong ethnic group, a highland people in Laos that aided the CIA during the Vietnam War. His disappearance comes amid a rising Hmong insurgency against the communist government in Laos.
The incident is reminiscent of one last year involving two men who, like Vang, were Hmong-Americans.
On April 19, 1999, Michael Vang of Fresno, Calif., and Houa Ly of Appleton, Wis., made the same voyage across the Mekong River, and have not been seen since. Relatives and some members of Congress suspect the Laotian government kidnapped, imprisoned and possibly killed the men; Laotian authorities deny any knowledge of their whereabouts. Two joint U.S.-Laotian investigations failed to find them.
A spokesman for the Laotian Embassy in Washington, Mai Sayavongs, said he had no information about the disappearance of Charlie Vang.
In both cases, the reason for attempting to cross the border is unclear. But Houa Ly's aiding of American pilots during the Vietnam War, and the weapons charges against Charlie Vang's compatriots fueled speculation that both men were there to aid Hmong rebels in Laos.
Charlie Vang's wife, Mee Xiong, said her husband left for Thailand in November for a vacation to visit relatives and told her he'd be back in a couple of months. The last time she heard from him was Jan. 26, three days before his disappearance.

Mee Xiong has been running her husband's St. Paul, Minn., business, Lucky's Temporary Services, during his absence. They have four children, ages 13 to 19.
I don't know if he's still alive, said Xiong. I don't know what to do right now. I have my job, and my children -- everything is hard for me. I'm very worried about my husband, because he is a good man, and he is working hard in the United States.
Chong Feng Vang of St. Paul, who was in the other boat, said the men went to Laos to visit some of his cousins, and he denied they were carrying weapons. He said his boat tipped over and he swam back to Thailand, but did not see what happened to Charlie Vang.
Both of Minnesota's senators, Democrat Paul Wellstone and Republican Rod Grams, have made inquiries to the State Department, but U.S. officials said they have searched the area and found no trace of Charlie Vang.
Ghost screaming in haunted hotel - FULL LENGTH
WATCH the full length Documentary at: blackwellghost.com
**UPDATE: Due to legal matters, I am not allowed to say any more information regarding the exact location of this hotel. Please stop asking. Thank you!
This video was submitted to us by the hotel security manager who was standing watch on September 14, 2003 at a WINGATE HOTEL in Illinois. His voice can be heard in the background of the recording.
According to him, people staying at the hotel began calling in noise complaints to the front desk with reports of loud screaming coming from the 2nd floor--particularly room #209. There is no known history to the room according to our investigation. However, upon further review, we found that over the years, multiple complaints of strange noises were reported to be coming from the room. This is the only known recording of it.
Note to comments:
It's funny how people think this video is edited/fake. The audio is a mix down between the security camera audio and a separate recording from inside the office (which is specifically there to record in case of robbery to the hotel). People will always come to there own conclusions why a video is fake (like cameras pointed at the door). What they don't realized is that there are about 80 cameras in the hallways around the hotel, all pointing at doors and hallways.
Toddler Strapped to Car Seat Falls Out of Moving Vehicle
A toddler strapped in a car seat fell out of a moving vehicle in Minnesota after the car's rear door somehow opened up. Video of the incident in Mankato was shot by truck driver Chad Mock and posted on Facebook. Mock stopped his truck, ran out and tried to flag down the gray car before it disappeared into the distance. He then checked to see if the child was OK. The child was unharmed and the mother now faces possible charges.

HARRY HOUDINI - WikiVidi Documentary
Harry Houdini was an Austro-Hungarian-born American stage magician and stunt performer, noted for his sensational escape acts. He first attracted notice in vaudeville in the US and then as Harry Handcuff Houdini on a tour of Europe, where he challenged police forces to keep him locked up. Soon he extended his repertoire to include chains, ropes slung from skyscrapers, straitjackets under water, and having to escape from and hold his breath inside a sealed milk can with water in it. In 1904, thousands watched as he tried to escape from special handcuffs commissioned by London's Daily Mirror, keeping them in suspense for an hour. Another stunt saw him buried alive and only just able to claw himself to the surface, emerging in a state of near-breakdown. While many suspected that these escapes were faked, Houdini presented himself as the scourge of fake spiritualists. As President of the Society of American Magicians, he was keen to uphold professional standards and expose fraudulent...

Resorts of the Northwoods
“Going to the resort”… a phrase that conjures so many memories and meanings for generations of Minnesotans. From the resort owners and workers who are passionate about their business, to the visitors who eagerly await their escape “up north”, the story of the resort industry in northern Minnesota is one that has touched the lives of countless people. From the large all-inclusive destinations, to the small “mom & pop” seasonal operations, these “Resorts of the Northwoods” have made an indelible impact on our history and culture.
150 Years of Human Rights in Minnesota
In 1858, Minnesota was admitted to the Union. Its constitution declared that there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in the state. Thus, Minnesota joined the ranks of 16 other free states in a nation that also included 15 states where the slavery of African Americans was legal. Only three years later, Minnesotans would be among the first to answer the call to fight in a bloody Civil War, a war that would settle the matter of slavery, yet leave much work undone—work that continues today, as America still seeks to fulfill the promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness guaranteed to all.
In this look back at Minnesota's 150 years of statehood, we recall some of the milestones that have marked the struggle for human rights in our state. It's an epic story, a blockbuster, with twists and turns and fascinating characters—and it's still being written. It's a story to which we all can still contribute, but to do so, we need to know what's happened so far.
