IS EVERYONE BLIND?

[SkatePopwar]

the world is fucked up

you are totally right about tv, its a global mind control device. someone said this..

"I've watched TV many times just thinking in the back of my head how retarded some of the things I'm hearing/seeing/witnessing are, and at the same time I know that most likely 100% of people I know personally are sitting watching the same thing as me and blindly swallowing the network's feed"

i know exactly how that is! like i can really relate, ive thought that so many times. all the shit on tv treats the public like they are total idiots, commercials are so and brainwashng it sickens me, moron tv MTV is the worst! its sensless idealistic crap that tricks people into seeing the world falsely.

gotta go to school now. more later!

You guys are so enlightened! Everyone is a mindless drone but you guys are like Neo and Morpheus. Seriously though, advertising is a huge industry and whether you like it or not it's not always a bad thing.

[SkatePopwar]

your right, its not all bad but the shit advertising they do nowadays is.

[ReUp]

I can't understand it, people wanting to sell their product and make a profit. It makes no sense!!!!

I like some commercials. I hate some. I don't think people are brainwashed, but advertising companies know more about our habbits then we do sometimes. It's not just TV, it's everywhere.

Take a look around the grocery store sometime. Ever notice how most are laid out basically the same? They do that for a reason. The dairy products are ususally on one side of the store and fruits and veggies on the other. The meat is allmost allways in the back and everything else is in the middle. They do this to maximize the ammount of the store you have to walk through to get what you're wanting. In order to get to the chicken, youll have to walk down an isle that may have an end cap with a great sale and all of a sudden you're buying it when you didn't go in for it.

People know how we think that's never gonna change. It's when they try to change how we thing that we should be worried.

And yes MTV is the worst case of actual brainwashing. I can't stand that channel....and it started out as such a great idea...

Well basically the government has already got us beat, if you begin to think independently and rebelling, and your just shunned as a "Hippie" or "Some crazy Dude". People judge people, thats how us humans work, our first instinct when we see someone spouting off about the government is not to believe them, but to view them as a crazy person, but who taught you that? The government of course. The thing is, if every person had the idea and faith in their heads that if they themselves do their part, and trust everyone else to do their part, we can beat the system, we're just nowhere near that stage yet though, and I don't know if we'll ever be. A classic example would be a group of friends who are about to pull a prank and moon someone, now they get ready to do it but at the last minute they pussy out, why? Because everyone did not trust each other to follow through, and they did not want to be that one person left doing it by themselves, because that's pointless, isn't it? No one wants to go on a crusade to fight the power if no one else is along for the ride, and well the government does their job of keeping us in check, people like us who realize this kind of shit are automatically put in a situation where we are at and disadvantage if we try anything, so therefore we don't try anything. It's all a system set up for us from the day we're born, you follow the government you succeed, you try to rebel, you get fucked over.

We have a winner!!!

Think outside the box. Do you think millions of people like us are fucking pissed merely at some guy selling his goods for some cash? The blind consumer driving his car to the mall to buy a $120 pair of pants before he goes home to his house about 100x bigger than the average non-1st World person's house, this is the type of "ignorantly blissed" person that does not understand that a corporation making profit is much more than just "Make Product, Sell Product."



A good song on a topic of this thread is "Go Humans" by Bad Astronaut.

Here are the lyrics:

Go human time bombs
Go robotic believers
Potential holy war reserves

Go great destroyers
Killers of all they nurture
Legacy of genocide, rulers, and tyrants

'Cause why do we have to be
Perversions of our innate pride and arrogance?

Have to learn
Have to learn
Have to learn
We have to swallow

Go humans, go destroyers
Go until it's gone

What would it cost you?
A few things you thought you needed
your death routine, your precious things
Your life in vain

Boy do we have to be
Competitors to be the worst in history

Cannot learn
Cannot learn
Cannot learn
We cannot store it

Go humans, go destroyers
Go until it's gone

I am blind! All I can see are these tiny letters glowing from a box. Whoa! What is this electric button panel.

I lived in a third world (Maybe 2nd world Im not positive) country for eight years of my life. In Thailand I saw people living in shacks loving their life much more than i ever did. It changed my life. Money is not what is important in this world and you can be very happy living on the bare minimum. There will be happy and unhappy people in this world and its up to them to find something in their life that makes them smile. I can help them financially but not emotionally. That's everyone individual job.

If it's money than work hard to do your best but to some thats not what it's about. Hating on the advertising companies for some wild conspiracy could not be very good for your personal happiness.
