This is madness

[THE HOLY SH**T!]

most of the people who posted in this thread are crazy, or yet, paranoid.

America has been running pretty good for the last few hundred years... There's no way it's going to change any time soon. Why make it our problem.

Future generations will be more easy to influence and more lazy.

30-40 years ago not as good as techonolgy, less lazy of a population and had to find more productive ways to spend time. The technology that they had influence them pretty radically. The LSD era? hardly any technology. Mostly cars, movies, tv, radios.

Eventually sticker and more complicated laws...and so forth.

Yea my car has been running pretty good, I wonder if I run it into a wall what will happen but if it has been working up until now I doubt that hitting a 10ft thick stone wall at 200mph will have any effect, besides all those potholes did not do anything. Although turning has become strangely difficult...

Apparently this video has been shown in schools across this nation:


The blatant propaganda in this video and the total disregard for truth or facts is utterly disgraceful. Who in there right mind would ever show this to a young group of people and then tell them that it is a fact!

I believe that anyone who would show children this propaganda should be banned from teaching for violating basic principles of ethics.

This is outrageous that children have been exposed within the public school system to such madness. What is next, having children be told that the founding fathers are nuts and that we should follow the likes of Chavez and Ahmadineja!?

Yeah, I made a lot of jokes when I watched this video. I had to watch it Freshman year, and just laughed at how rediculous it was. Yay, for a parent who knows what's up.

OMG you will never guess what broke on the news today! Remember the music I quoted yesterday from the Nazis and recall my rant about the state trying to replace god well here is what we get from the lyrics of Jesus Loves the Little Children:


Oh that second song sounds familiar:

Holy shit... that school is about 15 minutes from me.

I thought that was pretty cool. xD

And Getcha... I love your downs. Can I haz sum?

[loka]

Yeah too bad you missed the point where they locked down school because of bomb threats. Most likely made by some nutcase Christian. Is that really what we teach our children? Intolerance cause your not able to use the word Jesus. My uncles name is Jesus... but i just call him Tito.

btw your stupid cuzo.

And Getcha... I love your downs. Can I haz sum?

Oh Now I Have Down Syndrome!!!! Lawlz What's Next!?!?!

[yours' truely]

Getcha, do you seriously press shift everytime you capitalize the first and sometimes other letters in a word... for ever word?

Castro, is not in a more positive light. The only thing that has changed is the people who believe in his ideology have grown in power and influence. Mussolini was also cast in a "good" light by early progressives (ironically the same people who love Castro so much). It was not until he allied with Hitler that he suddenly way bad. (well not his ideas, just him?)

the spin that makes everyones' statements true is perspective. Seeing these ppl as bad/evil is the general US perspective while other perspectives may be the opposite. I'm sure that the people that have come to power and influence that you've refered to are changing their target's perspective.

Remember that at the end of the day the only thing that matter is what the TRUTH is. If our nation is to remain it must stay founded in principles and facts not lies and deception.

On a more philisophical lvl... Who can really say what is true? The majority gets to decide what's true and the minority will get labled as false.


Also, just to point out...
I'm not saying anything you say is wrong, I'm just pointing out possible different views and I'm not an expert in anyway so take what I say at your own value.

No I did not hear of the threats made against the school. That is even more outrageous! The children are innocent and on top of that violence will not solve anything. Send complaints to the school and messages to the government but not bombs or violence. Resorting to violence is just, if not more evil than taking advantage of children!

With regard to truth, once again Truth is a fact that is governed by reality. It is a fact that gravity holds us to the earth, that I am sitting in a chair that electricity powers my lights. Another example of truth; "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." As I have said many times before the truth is what stands along as our founding fathers put it "self-evident". Truth may be covered up by the cloak of evil and deception however it does not remove it from existence, and long after the ones holding on so tightly to the cloak have vanished the truth will still remain. In a world surrounded by so many cloaks it may be difficult to locate the wizard of oz but that does not mean that he is not there.

Two great quotes that I have always remembered ever since childhood:
"The truth points to itself" -Kosh
"No one here is exactly what they appear" -G'Kar

Also yes those seriously are from an old tv show. A joke I sometimes tell myself: all the knowledge in the word with no wisdom is the perfect definition of a knowledgeable fool they may know everything but they are no more useful than a book. Logically this leads people to say well knowledge is all over but where can wisdom be found? Well the best part of wisdom is that you require nothing but yourself! Knowledge you learn but wisdom you practice.

Interestingly enough the activity we are engaged in right now is one that propagates wisdom. Although it is gained though you it can always be nurtured though intelligent discourse. "And isn't it a bad thing to be deceived about the truth, and a good thing to know what the truth is? For I assume that by knowing the truth you mean knowing things as they really are." (Plato)

I end with yet another quote so sum up my statements, also note that I found these quotes after writing my response and thus my previous statements are not based off these quotes but my own personal understanding of the issue in question. I will say however that these are some powerful quotes that probably do a better job at the answer than my own words ever could.

"Somebody who only reads newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns eyeglasses. He is completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of his times, since he never gets to see or hear anything else. And what a person thinks on his own without being stimulated by the thoughts and experiences of other people is even in the best case rather paltry and monotonous. There are only a few enlightened people with a lucid mind and style and with good taste within a century. What has been preserved of their work belongs among the most precious possessions of mankind. We owe it to a few writers of antiquity (Plato, Aristotle, etc.) that the people in the Middle Ages could slowly extricate themselves from the superstitions and ignorance that had darkened life for more than half a millennium. Nothing is more needed to overcome the modernist's snobbishness." (Albert Einstein, 1954)
