RE: Kim Davis

For the next entry into the RE: series I discuss Kim Davis, a county clerk who has made headlines for refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, and was jailed for this. She cites religious freedom as her reasons, but as you might imagine, I don't but it.

Toxic Relationships



Here's the latest vlog. I got the idea for this video from a question I received on Tumblr about ways to improve one's attitude. I suggested one way would be to remove toxic people from your life, but I thought a bit more about the question of toxic people and thought I would expand on it in a video.

mcf Dig it. FWIW, I think one of your real strengths is clearly articulating ideas that people might have heard/been thinking about, but couldn't really wrap their heads around. That's damn hard to do, and you successfully do it very consistently.

Tiiu As I live in North-Eastern Europe (Estonia), I'm concerned of Russia's actions. They are constantly violating EU's borders (unauthorised fighter jets and sometimes ships crossing the borders), deploying military near the borders and conducting military exercises. There is a lot of rhetoric and propaganda in Russian media against EU and Baltic States. It seems more and more that Putin is slightly mad and I'm afraid of our safety.

GoodyZarr I live in Sweden and I agree that it is a good topic but you might have too read allot about it since it is some history behind it too. Most of it is a modern day story but some history is mixed in.

Joy Nash When I see stories about the 20 or so presidential candidates, who range from meh to truly disturbing, I find myself wondering if minorities and young people will make the effort to vote next year. In the face of the corporate takeover of election financing, do young people and minorities believe their vote counts?

I have discussed similar things before, like basically acknowledging the possibility of you being wrong, or making sure you’ve fully researched and gained information on something before you dismiss those who disagree. In this video I try to apply a technical logic concept to practical life.

Kathleen F Anderson Thanks for the explanation, Kevin, but I've noticed that I haven't heard from you. So before I heard your excuse I thought when I listened to this video, "WOW, this is so well done, of course it's taken him a while to put it out." I don't for a minute believe that, technical difficulties or not, that, "Oh well, it was merely technical difficulties and he just whips these things out." Aside from my meanderings, this is a great piece. I love your attitude, your processes, your involvement. You deserve all success. Thank you. I know any number of people I'd like to hear you.

Hi guys, if you didn’t know already, I have a Spreadshirt shop where you can buy the1janitor merch (mostly t-shirts). I’m going to clean up my shop and remove a lot of stuff very soon, so you might want to check it out and see if there’s anything you want. Most of the t-shirts I am removing are on sale for cheap right now. You can browse the shop here: http://the1janitor.com/store to see everything that is available so far, but for convenience, here are links to items on sale (these items are being removed from the shop. probably forever so if you want one nows the time, especially since they are cheaper than before): http://the1janitor.spreadshirt.com/holla-men-A13377771 http://the1janitor.spreadshirt.com/das-jus-me-doe-yellow-women-A14790523 http://the1janitor.spreadshirt.com/das-jus-me-doe-yellow-men-A14790551 http://the1janitor.spreadshirt.com/bye-women-A14790579 http://the1janitor.spreadshirt.com/bye-men-A14790595 http://the1janitor.spreadshirt.com/das-jus-me-doe-women-A13203655 http://the1janitor.spreadshirt.com/das-jus-me-doe-men-A13203650 Also, keep an eye out, new designs are coming real soon :) My t-shirts have mainly been a way for people to support me, and you know just kinda so you can say you have a the1janitor shirt. But I want to get some real pro-quality designs in there, things that you might actually wear even if you didn’t know who I was, so that’s the reason I’m doing a clean up of the shop. My favorite and the most popular designs will remain in the shop though. Just keep an eye out for what’s to come :)

Kimberley Ford A very good point, Kevin, about some people immediately turning negative at the mention of feminism. I experience this from some women at the very mention of the word and wonder what messages are actually being received. I am sure the women I know do not object to being considered people, and would be horrified if they realised how big their misunderstanding was. It's just so hard to get past that immediate wall that gets thrown up.

The discussion that initially spawned from the video this is a response to has mostly died down by now (I am usually late when it comes to things like this, which is why I don't often do "current events" videos lol), but I thought it might still be something to talk about. Also the subject matter might be a bit esoteric to many of you, but I think you can still catch the overall idea.

Thank you Kevin for doing the truly difficult, rare, and occasionally impossible; Making people *think* about an issue in an intelligent, thoughtful way and not just contribute to the already raging conflict.
