INTERESTING DOCUMENTARIES
I was going to post this documentary, “The Corporation”, here but was thinking peoples might have some interesting contributions to a ‘Documentaries’ thread (hopefully accessible on youtube or Netflix but….) post your interesting documentary films.
I am starting with one I think is very interesting and enlightening, “The Corporation”. I watched this film and it was informative as to the inception and development of corporations, and had some really thought provoking viewpoints, and some heavy points of contention that had me thinking about the societal effects, some of which can be translated well into the Fornits arena. Personally, I thought the topic of “externalities” was a perfect word to describe survivors of programs, unaccounted for byproducts of industry essentially. Nice piece o work.
Here is the youtube link. THE CORPORATION –

You are regressing which worries survivors on this website. The two of us see eye to eye that you need professional therapy because you are "out of control!" lol

Some interesting points from “The Corporation”
Early corporations, before the industrial revolution (1820), were chartered by the state to perform a specific function. The few in existence were heavily stipulated, how long they could operate, the capitalization amount, they could not produce anything that was not in the charter, they could not own another corp. and the shareholders were fully liable. Legally corps. Were a subordinate entity that was a gift from the people to serve the public good (such as building bridges), it was not a privilege to anyone that anyone could form one.
During the industrial revolution and the Civil war corporate lawyers sought to remove the legal constrictions from corps. In 1868 the civil War ended and the 14th amendment was passed giving equal rights to blacks mandating that “no state can deprive any person of life liberty or property without due process of law. “ In 1886 corporate lawyers argued that a corporation is a person as well. The Supreme Court sided with corporations and granted them the right to be legally recognized as persons under the 14th amendment. Between 1890- 1910, 307 cases were brought to court under the 14th amendment. 288 of those cases were corporations, only 19 were from African americans. 600,000 people died in the Civil war.
Today corporations are legally required to place the interests of it’s shareholders above competing interests. It is obligated to put the bottom line before anything else, even the public good. If a psychiatric diagnosis of corporations were conducted, it is argued that it would be labeled psychopathic.
With the advent of the science of gene sequencing and genetically modified organisms corporations have gained the rights to patent their discoveries. Today it is legal to patent the genetic blueprints of any life form with the exception of a full born human being. Every time a gene is discovered it is patented and claimed as intellectual property.

Disbelief, a documentary about the 1999 Moscow apartment bombings. My family was hosting an exchange student from Moscow when that happened. Strange stuff. http://http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7658755847655738553

All of Curtis' documentaries are, in my opinion, entertaining and thought-provoking. I ordered copies of some of them. They're BBC docs and yet the only versions available for sale are shitty copies made from broadcasts. Regardless, Curtis rocks. It Felt Like a Kiss is the most artistic, but again, very entertaining. Youtube consistently pulls this stuff off for copyright violation.

Thanks ajax13, that was a truly thought provoking film. Glad your link started with part two (think your links are in reverse), interested me most, but I thoroughly enjoyed all 3.

Care to point out just where you said this previously? I seem to have missed that. Or, perhaps you thought you commented on that?
Nevertheless, you are right. This doc seems to have been available but temporarily. Such a pity. Time to look for it on YouTube.
-
It never was available in full on Bing Video. I commented on it in the original Teen Mania thread.

Mmm. Fwiw, here's the original Teen Mania thread. I could find no comments aka posts by Xelebes in this thread:
- Teen Mania's Honor Academy boot-camp
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=38123 (http://www.fornits.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=38123)
Here's the only other thread mentioning Teen Mania, which contains, as of this here post, no replies whatsoever:
- Watch "Mind Over Mania" this Sunday on MSNBC
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=38095 (http://www.fornits.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=38095)
Care to supply a link to your post, in case I'm still missing it for some inexplicable (but not unprecedented) blindness on my part?

Hm, well somebody made that comment before I did. It was an ongoing complaint in those threads.
