Are you brainwashed by your government????

So many individuals sit and address the war as if it is them who are there in action debating who dies and who lives.

If we look at all country governments they all teach there citizens to defend in honor, but each government honor is individually different.

It is the countries government who question the "terrorist" and in turn market off that to up there status in the coming poll.

Yes I agree that it is nice and of comfort to know that as a country you would like to think as a whole and not be divided on the topic, however that is very unrealistic!

The majority of society is against the war, does not want troops to be flown over/in to help put the fuel to the fire, but are not heard.

So I ask are you brainwashed by your government dotting on every word as if it is truth? Or do you think out of the box and take in all aspects and have your say?

- For those who wonder my own opinion: I personally believe there is no 100% truth for any side of war, am against war and believe governments say and word things to get a reaction to promote what they think is justified....

 

I'm going to go ahead and say 'no' on this one

 

If you watch fox news, the answer is yes.

 

You'll find more than enough idiots in this forum that believe every single word their Government tells them mate, whether directly or though some controlled mainstream media outlet like FOCKS News.

The government owns me - and you too! Dont ever forget it.

 

Is there really such a thing as "brainwashing?" Seems to be a popular term used by those that let alex jones do their thinking. Gotta love the irony in that!

 

That's about the 50th time I read that guy's name in the P&R forum today, always in the same context.

 

Yeah, he's a nut.

Did you have a point or just making an observation?

 

If you act as if Fox is biased and CBS, NBC, ABC, and CNN are not, then the answer is yes. BTW, how CBS's Dan Rather-opinionated doing these days?

 

Let's just all take a moment to think for ourselves.

 

Brainwashed by Govt... lol thats funny..

No I'm not brainwashed or even footwashed by my govt.

 

One's a born liar and the other's convicted...the late, great Billy Martin

 

Do you really expect the people who are actually brainwashed, to tell you that they are brainwashed ?

 

Lol, that's funny.

 

nice...and rather is trying to make a comeback on a directv network...

 

you seem to think everyone who has different views than yours must be an alex jones fan

 

I don't think there is any brainwashing going on. I think that it is linked to change, and people dislike change. If you are used to your way of life, naturally, you are going to think it is the best.

Its why not all "baby boomers" have adapted to technology. Many still prefer the way things were done 20 years ago because they think it is better.

 

- good point LOL -

- Reality Check is needed then...

 

Hmmm, 20 years ago there were cell phones, word processing, spreadsheets, the internet, BBSs, email, video games, CDs, cable TV, ATMs, fax machines, copy machines, and most of the core technologies of today. Granted you couldn't watch some guy getting hurt on your cell phone and my space was my personal space back then but most of those technologies and today's came from the baby boomers.
