Its just a cool song, and it should be enjoyed as that, a song. Its a catchy tune that make you enjoy everything. I love the whole earth. Its not a message of peace its not a message of war, its a message of how people feel. I like to go fast thats a message of fun. and i love the oceans is a message of swimming and surfing(again fun). So if youre a nerd and cant enjoy the song stop listening. What Xopl said is right. Its just a cool song, and it should be enjoyed as that, a song. Its a catchy tune that make you enjoy everything.

They are trying to include as many of their shows as possible, and the war training image is most likely from a popular show. Weird, but you must remember it’s a promo for the Discovery Channel.

Support wars for good reasons, or not, what ever - its just not really in keeping. its pretty fair to hate images of war - its just a weird image in with all the other fairly peace-loving or natural-world kind of imagery.

This is a song about the the little joys of the world that make it worth living in. let's not dwell on the one negative aspect of the video, just enjoy the fact that Stephen Hawking was good humored enough to appear in a video saying 'boom de-yadda'. (oh geez, this song is getting to me. I'm becoming an optimist!) People, people!

You know tornados also kill people. And the scientist in the song says he loves them. And I wouldn't fault him for that. Lots of people love cars, and you're so much more likely to be killed by a car than a tornado. Sure, war isn't a message of love, but that doesn't make weapons a message of hate. If you truly love the whole world then you need to accept death as part of life, and that there is ugliness, but choose to love anyway. The ugliness isn't going away, and to discard all weapons immediately on the grounds that they are made only to wage war would be foolish. And hating the wagers of war just adds more hate to the world, where there could be love. Honestly, it wasn't an easy decision, but I'm ok with this video, exactly how it is now. I don't think I've been loving the whole world very much lately, so I thank Discovery and 72andSunny for the optimism.
