Hi Andrew.
Do you have a point beyond the use of youtube?

interesting and/or amusing.

All right, if expressing your ideas in an interesting and amusing way
is what it's about, why don't you try working with a vocal coach
instead of this dead video software?

You put up videos and then don't respond ,,  opinion of your videos  they are very poor and the truth is I will not even bother to watch them,, I am not a small child and will not watch videos that appear to be from a troll.

He is still on moderation, Allan.  His posts do not appear until approved by a moderator.  That is why there is a delay in his response.

I understand  ..  but andrew  improving vocals will not improve my opinion..  often times I download my email via my phone  and u-tube is very very expensive written text is cheap  I know you will get this right away  so if you want  out of being a troll in my opinion you will start writing more..    with me sound bits don't cut it..

That's right, or, as we'd say in German: Das stimmt nicht. Sound and
image have to stand in a meaningful relation for the recipient to be
able to automatically interact with the message. With a more
expressive intonation Andrew's videos might reveal their
artistic/artsy/artificial truth, who knows? As long as children don't
have to follow this logic, I don't mind.

Allan,

Please try not to be so bitter. What is the point of it.  My videos are not for everyone. They are simplifications of complex subjects and perhaps that is why I find them rather amusing.   The short videos are meant to awaken interest in various topics. Complex concepts are explained in an entertaining and simplified way. These videos are useful for those wanting to increase general knowledge, improve their technical and specialized vocabulary and for non native speakers of English who want to improve their pronunciation, speaking and listening skills. INDEX of Videos at http://www.improvemyenglish.webs.com/  It is clear that the videos are not for you so we can just leave it at that. If other people in this fine group or their children find the videos useful, entertainibng, educational, or even misleading, I would be very appreciative of feedbacks. I am an amateur video maker and I know that there are lots to improve, but I enjoyed making them and I hope some people will enjoy looking at them.   

PS I was not sure what a troll was so I looked it up.

verb (used without object)
7.to sing with a full, rolling voice; give forth full, rolling tones.
8.to be uttered or sounded in such tones.
9.to fish by trolling.
10.to roll; turn round and round.
11.to move nimbly, as the tongue in speaking.

noun
12.a song whose parts are sung in succession; a round.
13.the act of trolling.
14.a lure used in trolling for fish.
15.the fishing line containing the lure and hook for use in trolling.

When you say that I appear to be a troll, do you think I am a singer, a fisher, or do you think that I am a singing fisher??. In any case I find that a compliment, but I am sure that you did not mean it as a compliment.

You seem to be a very unhappy person. I have 2 videos just for you, like juicy worms on a hook. LA LA LA. Do you dare to bite?

To be happy you need to know yourself, work like you don't need the money, have the right attitude, be honest, help others, and be thankful. See YouTube video "Happiness Simplified". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEqEgmd9hAw

Being thankful and being appreciated. See YouTube video "The art of Gratitude, Simplified". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKzKypXBsaI

Kind regards

An internet troll is someone who stirs up trouble by provoking people in the group.  Maybe by calling them bitter, or suggesting they are unhappy.  In this group, we do not insinuate ourselves into the lives of others by presuming we know their personalities or accusing them of personal traits.  I suggest you read the group guidelines.  Posting multiple links or waging personal attacks is not tolerated.  If you would like to engage in conversation about ideas, this is the group.

Andrew  I am not bitter,   I am very grateful for the group for tolerating my medical condition that makes language very difficult for me.   this group is a discussion group the uses written language traditionally to communicate   ..  not video lectures  ..  you might take your complex arguments that you have simplified the arguments and put them in written language. where they can be examined..

Definition    Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. 

Your videos at least to me are a a disruption of the normal written  communication of the online community.  by the common definition of internet slang your posting of your video clips make you a troll.

In writing you might try some of us on difficult and complex philosophical subjects..  you might find we are not dummies and need little simplified.

I am glad to see you trying to improve your engish as it really is a very large and difficult language. but there is a secret called google translator.. all thought it is not perfect it can do a reasonably good job at communicating an idea across..  you might try it if you are having problems.
Allan

Post Script: Your references to your own work are automatically ignored,  and if you want to use writing to communicate not video clips ..  welcome to the group.

I do these things in this group, Molly. After years of
common-unication through exchanging views, it is not a presumption to
say I know the personalities and personal traits of the regular group
members here. It is my experience with you that forms this kind of
knowledge that you reject here. I understand that you are referring to
the group guidelines, just like you would be referring to your
constitutional truth that all men are created equal. At first glance
it seems to keep out the three apes who don’t see/hear/speak. Men are
created on a higher level, all others are monkeying around. Strangely
enough I am confronted with the same not seeing/hearing/speaking and
all others are monkeying around attitude when I am talking with
another white mother with black kids but with a GDR family background.
Still. Even then. And we are supposed to have been socialized with the
same native language. It is my rough working theory that this is
somehow deeply related to the socialist-communist equalizing world
view of one mankind as one workforce for a higher goal and that the
blinding and deafening effects are still very well visible.

What I mean is, back then, when Elvis was still alive, there were
people sent to the exit door for wanting to live up to what the music
promised. I'm sure even you over there in the States who don't have
easy access to international news must have heard of the Pussy Riot
scandal over in Russia. It's all here and now. Not nice and clean, but
fuzzy and chaotic.

Equal under the law(s)- presuming/hoping, of course, that the laws are
just.//A great coincidence!- Monkey Men have been discovered in
Africa. The Monkees are going to tour the USA. Perhaps I should rescue
a very large wall clock from my attic- hand carved with the anti-see/
hear/speak trio surrounding the face- it will probably wind up in an
auction someday.//I do think one must accept generational differences
with grace and understanding, if possible, don't you? For instance, I
watched Ken Burns' "The War" for a second time instead of the
continuing with the current Olympics even though I was a toddler and
young child at the time of WWII.//At any rate, Orwell said it best-
some are more equal than others (Animal Farm) no matter what language.
Practically all the Liberals I have known send their children to
private or parochial schools with few exceptions (I was one and my
children do not thank me for the "experience" even though the high
school ranks well in a national list). Actually, this "one mankind"
theory is ancient if you trail human history. Lately, I have been
struck at how similar we are to the Middle Ages- one simply has to
juggle a few nouns and verbs- or, same horse, different rider, as
Archytas once said.

I take everything with a grain of salt  and do not take offense.  please write out what you have to say and if you have trouble with the english,, do not be afraid to write it out in your native language using Googles Translate to convert it to english, for the most part it does a good job and the errors can be funny. you can use it to improve your english.. (  I probably messed up my dictionary  and it is a pain to straighten out..)

I for one am looking forward to reading what you have to say.

While I sympathize with the plight of Russia in dealing with their
King apparent and his lack of respect for anything resembling the 1st
amendment I have a hard time sympathizing with attention seeking
dissidents. A church? Really? Are you trying to affect social and
political change or are you trying to sell records? I like the name.
Reminds me of my fav. female Heavy Metal band Kittie. Easy on the
eyes; hard on the ears.

They'll be very popular in the Gulag. Luck to them.

Don just a little back ground and I agree with the king apparent  the Pussy Riot,, did a serious breach of accepted dogma of the orthodox religion there is a line , well known the the female gender does not cross it is totally the realm of the male part of the church..   and under no conditions do you cross it..  even if the church is on fire and the priest is on the other side of that line.. sorry baby he burns..  it is that serious..
Pussy Riot violated that line and that is where they came in conflict with the church..  the little king jumped on it to quell rebellion .. it has little to do with right but thousands of years of tradition..  Ii do not think they were trying to sell records  but rather effect political change. .
