Ratings ratings ratings. Control through fear. That just about sums up the media. Be afraid, be very afraid. Be careful not to drink 2% milk after midnight on a Saturday, or you may be at risk for congenital heart failure.

It makes you wonder where these cockamamie reports come from, and the manner in which they're tested. Check out sometime how doctors found the "evidence" to support the far-reaching claim that Cannabis kills brain cells. What they won't tell you is the test monkeys were given hundreds of times the dosage of THC that is found in the Cannabis plant through gas masks over a period of DAYS. Some monkeys died, others suffered severe mental damage. Do you know why this happened? Asphyxiation! They were deliberately starved of oxygen to produce the results that the pharma companies (who were funding the tests) wanted to see. Now talk to anybody who thinks Cannabis is bad, and I bet you a million they'll say "it kills brain cells." Oh but we think for ourselves do we? We merely salivate when Pavlov rings the bell. We're no more free than a house cat who knows nothing of the world outside.

It is this ignorance that is killing us, and it's the constant fear mongering propagated through media channels that makes us unable to act upon anything.

I have yet to see anything uplifting or fulfilling in the news.

Billions of bucks are pounded into research just to sell you a load of crap that you'll buy.
Watch Brain Games a few times and see how your conned every single day!
:haha:

Oh I'm fully aware of the con job going on. I call it FUBAR and SNAFU and it's going on everywhere!

Our whole society is really just a giant Ponzi scheme that moves valueless paper currency around pretending it's money. Think about our everyday lives: Wake up, eat, work all day, buy stuff after work, go home, eat, watch brainwashvision, sleep, repeat.

Yes, we are SUCH a free society!

If it's anything like the book I wouldn't bother.

You guys may not believe it, but I sold my TV 2 weeks ago. The only thing worth watching on public TV was the News, which are also available through the Internet tubes.

Thinking about it, my favourite News anchor on the "tubes" is a guy named Jim :O:

^Nowadays you can bribe all :D

I gave away my TV when I bought my 28" monitor two years ago. There are shows I like, but I can see them through Amazon Prime if I really want to.

One of my teachers in high school used to say that television is the rape of the mind. We do not even have cable or satellite TV at the house the only thing we use the television for is to watch movies on Bluray or DVD or from the internet and my daughter plays some video games on it.

A man that works for me does not even own a TV at all.

Of course the internet based news is just as silly.I do not see it as a bad sign merely a sign that people who think (or start to) use a different source of information other than the main stream outlets.

I resemble that remark http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/1853/angry8ro5.gif

Hey! Now we call this "Click bait"

Sorry for the necro but I was thinking about how this became obvious to me a few years ago and now we are saturated with it. :k_confused:

Click Bate go on you know you want too, go on click it, click it. :)

True, just for a moment i had hoped Betonov was here again :o

I once went several years with just rabbit ears and used the money I saved to build one of the largest collection of movies and documentaries of anyone I know.

What she did with an umbrella? Well, here is the answer.

Unforgivable. Eh, forgettable, I mean, yeah, unforgettable is the right word.
