and I believe everything I read. I think that's what makes me a more discriminating human. How many of you are with me? 80 percent? 90?

Personally, I think it's about 98 percent.

2. Please, not until I finish my musical
Edited on Sun Jan-24-10 03:22 AM by instantkarma
based on the life of Jack the Ripper.

But seriously, it bothers me that so many people seem to believe things just because someone wrote/said or broadcast it. That's how we wind up with teabaggers, Nigerians burning people as witches, George Bush as a two-term president, etc.

5. It's all garbage.
Not 100 percent of the time, though. My rule of thumb is about 98 percent. CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC... but yes, Fox is special. I think the most damaging propaganda is the amount of advertising with which we're constantly bombarded. We're largely a country of brainwashed idiots who behave like adolescents most of the time and can't see what is right in front of us. Puppets on a string.

7. I agree
Obvious propoganda gets bought into, hook,line and sinker,on a regular basis by too many people who should know better.
