through there propaganda. and forcing idiotic tv shows and commercialization down our throats. we are no longer seen as humans.... only targets. we dont NEED most of the things we have but american society makes us believe we need these things to aid us in our survival. they are controlling us... and manipulating our minds and we sit back and allow this to happen. possestions are just a way of controll. allowing the govt' to track us down easier making sure we fork over our hard earned money with jobs that are not that far off from slavery. i believe it is time for a reveloution! something must be done before we all become slaves to the beast.

Propaganda that doesn't announce itself as such is subversive.
That said, I still think advertisements for condoms are totally beneficial to society -.-

Nobody is allowed to think for themselves. We get educated and "programmed" to think certain ways, when we get older and we find that we don't fit into society, we have psychologists to guide us back into society's paradigm.
Many things we have serve as a distraction from this world, and that is their purpose - that is why we buy them.
People will continue searching for the "Great Reward*" and as long as it's promised behind the next new car, in the bottle of soda, or behind the next electronic gadget people will continue to buy them.
Our culture has "Mother Culture**" whispering in our ears, though a great many of us do not realize she is even around.
If you want the true answer to this, forget everything you know and rebuild your own paradigm - keep an open mind to everything. Once you have a world which you believe to be authentic, talk with people.

Everybody has their own choice and opinion to do, to buy , to workship, etc. as they choose.
People who choose to watch t.v. all day or a lot will be eventually be brainwashed one way or another.
But there are still some strong willed people out there who don't own a t.v. and don't watch movies.
There people who refuse to buy a car!
Then you have the people who want to be like the Joneses.
But then, is there a problem with living a great country that has everything?
There will never be a right or wrong answer to your question and comments.

this is cool if this is unique, yet distinct the time this is purely something this is been finished earlier. Or this is 0.5 a large gesture, like he tried to do something particular to look cool yet became afraid to get too loopy. once you're going to do it, then do all of it the way! also, even as that is a large promposal in the front of a bunch of folk, I imagine that is distinct pressure to assert sure, this is unfair. maximum significantly, it relies upon on the man your asking's personality. would they extremely favor to be requested the way that you're taking under consideration? If no longer, then do not do it - you're in straight forward words questioning about your self(attempting to reveal off to human beings). i in my opinion would hate a public promposal, yet a own one faraway from human beings may be fantastic. do not pass severe if that individual would not like severe.

It controls you on much deeper level than you can detect, and you do not know yourself. You see surface only...if that shows will disappear, resentment still be firmly at place, something else will bother you, demanding a conflict. But they do not bother with conflicting you, you still under control, they know it very well. But most people do not bother with shows, but enjoy them. They rather will conflict with you than with pleasure givers. So you are about to be busy with differently polarized people but on the same level on which you are existing...Those guys whom invented brain wash system, quite knowledgeable and staying on different level of existence, unreachable.
