But propaganda and brainwashing...:roll:
Thats more the thing I am talking about. People not having any opinion of their own.. Thats very unhealthy, when people adopt the opinions of others without questioning it.
Just a poll.. About brainwashing and propaganda directed at the people of the US by their government and media.
But the again, if you were brainwashed you probably wouldn't know it.
PS. choose the party who's politics you are closest to if independent or belong to another party.
Welcome to the greatest problem in the middle east.
People in Palestine, Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia DO NOT think for themselves. They think what they are TOLD TO THING by groups like mullahs, Ayetoiletbowls, and some douchebag from the house of Saud.
With reference to BBC and HBO's "House of Saddam," I asked: "Is HBO biased?" (12-22-08, 04:29 PM)
You responded:
"What kind of question is that?
Its a TV show... A good one also." (Old 12-22-08, 10:25 PM)

You were right, when you said, "if you were brainwashed you probably wouldn't know it." (12-22-08, 10:16 PM...Last edited by Maximus Zeebra : 12-22-08 at 10:40 PM)
Sometimes our brains get dirty and they need washing.
I've always been told I have a dirty mind, so maybe I'm overdue for a scrubbing.
Big Brother told me not to respond to this poll.
Bill Clinton's 400 cruise missiles, which the buildup to prompted the February 23, 1998 fatwa of Al Quacka, just days after Clinton first defined the Unholy Axis involving Iraq, which was left out of the BBC/HBO propaganda, like the total lack of any link between Iraq and the Fatwa's/911 (do not forget 1996, and the effect of the two defections), not to mention the magical "they" Saddam in response to 911 said, "should, rather, be reassured and helped to save themselves, and their surroundings," considering that the Biden/Lugar amendment limiting the authorization to disarming Saddam of WMD did not pass and the President was given a blank check for WAR, therefore, anyone with an unbrainwashed brain would have to concede, what was left out of the BBC/HBO propaganda and is history, may have made a difference with regard to Saddam's fate, and that demanded it.:lol:
Its a very entertaining show.. So what? Why do you come to this thread with it?
I am asking this question as a result of what I have seen on this forum, not what I saw when I was in the US, (which was a long time ago).
I definetely concur that there are the same problems around the world, but by far most severe in the US.
You for example dont seem to be brainwashed.
I don't believe being lazy and letting others do your thinking for you, i.e. government/media, constitutes brainwashing.
so true.....
the work ethic needs to include thinking skills...
I was born with extra skepticism, starting doubting adults way early. You can take that too far, tho, and get a little too militant, as I did. That is probaby why I was targeted for "early retirement".:lol:

The only thing I see related to brainwashing is allowing our kids to quit school while still ignorant. A certain level of education is essential if they are to be able to sift truth from all the chaff out there.

"Rome" was entertaining and the best show I have ever seen since Lesley Ann Warren wearing black lingerie in "79 Park Avenue." "House of Saddam" was clearly propaganda by omission of relevant facts.
"About brainwashing and propaganda directed at the people of the US by their government and media."
BBC and HBO fit the definition of "media." If you ignore the propaganda I can only conclude you are brainwashed. An example of propaganda, and clear brainwashing acceptance of it, is relevant to the topic.
People have to pretty much be brain-dead not to be biased one way or another, so my poll is also relevant to the topic.
YES, there IS brainwashing in this country. But there isn't enough to diminish the likes of the OP's messages out of our hair..
But in so doing they left Americans open to being manipulated by others and now look at the crap that has sprung up.
.
I hold to that old adage my grandfather told me in the early 60's, "don't believe anything you read and only half of what you see"...
:mrgreen:
I have my doubts.. Brain-washing and propaganda are problems, but ones political party have little to do with this...
What, exactly, gives you the idea that American so-called brain-washing is that much greater , or more effective than European ?? And I will not even go into Islamic brainwashing....
...I don't see many poster boys in Europe for example who just rages on with some agenda that others have put in their heads...
