IS our government really BRAINWASHING us?

  Author:  37101  Category:(Debate) Created:(4/30/2002 5:50:00 PM)

The story behind this post: I was talking with someone on AOL Instant Messenger and she mentioned she was going to rally about police brutality where she lives. We got into a heated discussion, not far from all-out arguing and she hit the offensive with saying "Your government is brainwashing you!" this, "You're too brainwashed to understand!" that.

She says I can't POSSIBLY understand what she's trying to say because I haven't studied anrachy and capitolism. She says I'm too brainwashed to see the nations short-comings. She says America will be a communist nation soon.

I realize the government has flaws. Our government is imperfect, but our government is all we have. You show me something that's perfect (besides God and Heaven of course) and I will not argue this point ever again.

These people irritate me! They say our government is slowly taking control of it's people at a rate that "normal people" can not see and eventually, we'll be held by our necks in a communist-transformed America!

America has flaws, I'll admit. We try to hide them and we try to twist our words so they're not AS noticeable, if noticeable at all, I can't argue that. But why not? Do other countries do this? Well, yes! America does this to try to hide it's weaknesses so that people don't find them and kill us with them. This ties in with September 11th in my view!

My question is: Am I really "brainwashed" as this person claimed, or is she just one of those radical "New World Order" type people? What do you think? - Smooth Criminal

Date: 4/30/2002 5:54:00 PM  From Authorid: 22852    Brainwashed? not me! I have my own beliefs where our government goes but I will not sit here and say they are brainwashing us to the extent this other person is saying.  
Date: 4/30/2002 5:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 42792    hmmmm....I would tend to agree with her comments but I wouldn't tell you that you are brainwashed, not knowing you personally  
Date: 4/30/2002 5:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 15400    I believe the gov. has brainwashed people from the very beging of time. They feed us all these candy covered lies because they don't want us in a panic or freak out. So they lie to us at just about everything! Because they have brainwashed us to believe in every lil word they say. *Hugz* -Take Care. Much Love:  
Date: 4/30/2002 5:56:00 PM  From Authorid: 43339    I belive that the govt has brainwashed us by sugar coating lies, and twisting half truths.. This nation is no where near perfect.. I agree with your friend.  
Date: 4/30/2002 5:57:00 PM  From Authorid: 52155    I am not brainwashed. My government loves me. I am not brainwashed. My government loves me. I am not brainwashed. My government loves me. -eddo  
Date: 4/30/2002 5:59:00 PM  From Authorid: 43339    I will quote exactally what i said, in reference to the comunist nation remark " You say that and turn your back to the problems of this nation.. but when this place becomes a commie nation in a few years, ti will be your fault." Were my exact words hun.. dont take what i say out of context.  
Date: 4/30/2002 6:00:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 37101    Exactly. A FEW years, a few is generally 3-4. Is 3-4 years soon? I believe so. Out of context? I don't think so. -  
Date: 4/30/2002 6:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 43339    Out of context in the point that you only took part of what i was stating i never just said.. Yep, this nation will be totaly commie in 3 years.. You know that isnt what i meant. You may have a future as a politician if you keep that up.  
Date: 4/30/2002 6:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 49634    main brainwashing is placed in music and shows. It is mainly a position in which you cant tell you are picking it up....but yopur brain waves are picking it up.lol. just an idea...but this how i learned that the goverment is brainwashing...rent the movie "josie and the pussycats". It easily explains how we are brainwashed in a funny yet true way. And simple things such as what an actor/actress is drinking in a movie (such as, a pepsi or coke).It isn't something that normally we cant tell....its something that our smart brains can pick up.NYCutie  
Date: 4/30/2002 6:03:00 PM  From Authorid: 15033    I think we're all so busy dealing with survival here in our everyday lives we don't have time to really notice what we are being fed. Communist Country?...yep. But only time will prove that. Love to you,  
Date: 4/30/2002 6:08:00 PM  From Authorid: 46982    If they were true with us all the time, we would have nothing left. We'll take for example, area 51. If they did have an alien there, would it be a good Idea to tell us? No. There would be mass panic all over the nation. They dont exactly brainwash us, they just cover things up that would harm people if they knew.  
Date: 4/30/2002 6:11:00 PM  From Authorid: 43339    Gamer, who said it would harm people? Have they ever done tests or studies about it? No they havent. Plain and simple, the govt decides what you are mature or responsible enough to handle.. not you.  
Date: 4/30/2002 6:15:00 PM  From Authorid: 17290    they do it slowly and with ease, hitler did it along w/many others, convincing people in sertain things....u realize how many people joined the army after september 11, patriotism went up - they do brain wash people in english speach class u'll sort of learn that....media is involved. listen very carefully to what they say, possibly, they also use big, emotional words....etc..we watched the news story on the guy who escaped security after 911 and was no where to be seen, he escaped security! - forgot his camera! - media is involved - they do it very "descretly" (right word?) -- u may think how can i be brain washed if i think the same things everyone else does? - whos to say they arent brainwashed too? if u think about it...they are! love,  
Date: 4/30/2002 6:19:00 PM  From Authorid: 17290    think about this....who came up w/ "war on terrorism" - like that'll ever happen....  
Date: 4/30/2002 6:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 46982    Sorry, i kinda phrased that wrong, didnt I? I ment to say that they tell us Candy Coated lies. Perhaps some half truths here and there. Sorry bout my wording, but i had to go help my dad and get off the net for a little bit. Not as long as I thought i guess. I didnt mean to steal from the other posts, but they worded it so nicely ^_^  
Date: 4/30/2002 6:26:00 PM  From Authorid: 51059    the government is brain washing some people with their america the beutiful crap while they are in an alliance with saudi arabia a dictatorship which suppreses its people which then causes them to look for an answer to why they are being oppresed and they see the U.S government working with their government they hate us.
About Radicals there is nothing wrong with radicals Martin Luther King Jr. was a radical and he made the U.S a better place.
Date: 4/30/2002 6:52:00 PM  From Authorid: 17525    The job of the media is substantiation. If you simply believe the media, you're a victim of the government party line and a sheep. Brainwashed? Well, you decide. Check out the news sites from England, Gremany, India, Japan and see what we're NOT getting told. Do you honestly think the government has the slightest concern for you. You are worth more sick than healthy, worth more stupid than smart, worth more lazy than active, and worth FAR more passive than politically active. You are worth more if you just nod your head in agreement every time the govt tells you what the latest 'experts' are saying. Don't ever question how the information was obtained. When the govt tells you there is a "hightened threat of terrorist attacks" don't ever ask "where" or "how do they know", simply accept what they say and go along with it. When you are handcuffed for trying to pee in an airline, don't ask "is this right?" Simply go along with it and think "boy do I feel SAFE! Thanks a lot Uncle Sam. I don't know how I could have lived this long without you. Brainwashed. Parhaps not completely, but you can bet they're working on you, one commercial and billboard at a time. Peace,  
Date: 4/30/2002 7:29:00 PM  From Authorid: 16671    brainwashing by the government and other groups with an agenda of its own, started to happen years and years ago. We the people of the united states have given up so many of our freedoms that it would amaze you. Yes, soon I'm thinking that america will be spelled AMERIKA. No one yelled when our rights were taken away, will someone yell when they try to take our guns away? I know I will. I wont give them up. This country has tried to make everyone stupid and it has did a good job. MOst teachers cant even pass the high school test them self. NOT enough is did to combat drugs and our government is prime in helping the distribution of drugs, "under cover of course" A stupid and unarmed nation is a controllable nation.  
Date: 4/30/2002 8:48:00 PM  From Authorid: 22080    i will never like the government i did my dad told me patriotism is the best but within the past few months i realised your parents even lie to you so that you conform  
Date: 4/30/2002 9:35:00 PM  From Authorid: 24924    What gets me; what burns my butt about these idiots who make these statements? Most often, it is someone who is MAJORLY brainwashed by the biggest, most humongous brainwashing machine of all time, using the biggest brainwashing tool: the Bible! I mean, talk about LMAO!!!  
Date: 4/30/2002 9:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 24924    ah, THAT would be: CHRISTIANITY....  
Date: 4/30/2002 10:25:00 PM  From Authorid: 52155    Ah, Thinker. Trying to turn another topic into a Christian bashing post. What took you so long? -eddo  
Date: 5/1/2002 7:00:00 AM  From Authorid: 24924    ahhh, dear eddo; it is just an observation and a valid question. YOU see it as "bashing". Anyone who questions your reasoning on anything is seen as "bashing". YOU, or anyone can get on your soapbox and complain, accuse, and scream about a person, organization, or our goverment as "brainwashing", however, if THE SAME things are leveled at christianity, then OMG, that is a no-no, that mustn't be, that is Taboo. WHY should that be off limits to criticism? WHY is it not addressed in the same fashion as a "bashing" the police or goverment post? MY point, was that it seems very odd, and hypocritical, for the NWO people or Christians to even speak of "brainwashing" about someone else, or the goverment, etc....when THEY themselves, are the MOST brainwashed?   
Date: 5/1/2002 7:04:00 AM  From Authorid: 24924    Smooth Criminal, This person who said that; what country were THEY from? If they were from an Arab country, then ask them about their ONLY T.V. station Al Jeezeera (sp?) which broadcasts propaganda 24/7, and does not present anything of the other sides of any story; except for little tiny snippets or half-truths. Who's brainwashing THEM about America?  
Date: 5/1/2002 9:42:00 AM  From Authorid: 16671    LOL @ eddo. Thinker while its true that IN SOME sects of Christianity there seems to be brainwashing, this does not hold true for all. Plus the fact that if you will read and I know you have, there are many on here that are not christian that beleive the same as we do on some of these issues, are they being brainwashed also by christianity? I think not. You know I love ya, but take off those rose colored glasses for just a little while and check out some of the resources that is ready avalible. Do not check out christian resouces as your already against them to begin with. But check out some of the secular resourses. I know you read lots, mags, newspapaers ect. But you have to go to sources, underground sources that are NOT being Bias or controlled by our government and those of another agenda.  
Date: 5/1/2002 12:15:00 PM  From Authorid: 24924    I read ANYTHING, everything, no matter WHO or what the source. IF you have anything that you wish me to take a look at, PLEASE send me the link or give me the source, title, etc..  
Date: 5/1/2002 12:18:00 PM  From Authorid: 24924    And, my dear friend, I DID take off the rose colored glasses, several years ago, and life has been grand, much sweeter, ever since. Huggies, Cat  
Date: 5/1/2002 8:26:00 PM  From Authorid: 16671    LOL thinker. Hey you never called me. You said you would three days ago. What you forget about me??  
Date: 5/1/2002 8:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 24924    Deb, everytime I've called, the phoneline has been busy. Your computer a dial up? I'm on Time-Warner Cable. No phone line, so I can talk on the phone and be on the puter at the same time. OK, I'll try again tomorrow morning. Hey, wanna hear something really strange? I have a lunch date with a guy on friday. Yep...imagine that. Naw, don't get all excited now. He is a staunch Christian. He just might croak if he brings the subject up, and he learns where I stand. LOL

  
Date: 5/2/2002 12:49:00 PM  From Authorid: 43592    NOT AT ALL!! Paranoid people are crazy. America makes mistakes yeah, but we aren't perfect. And why would anybody think that America is trying to brainwashing us. So we've had a couple problems here and there, that doen'st mean we're becoming communist.  
Date: 5/8/2002 2:00:00 PM  From Authorid: 43339    I am from america. Im the one who said i and ill tell you that. You call me crazy for thinking we are being brainwashed, I call you stupid for thinking we arent being.
