moi?
you claim to be a trained sociologist Matt, yet fail to recognize made for tv propaganda?
First, I never claimed to be a sociologist, in fact my drift was that I should know more about sociology. I've taken a couple of Sociology classes, and there's a general concept that people tend not to take action in groups. It's unfortunate that I don't have my books with me, and my google skills aren't up to par, or I'd give you the name of the guy who thought it all up.
Steve, more importantly,
people aren't objective, and with that it mind one must believe that most of what we hear and see is propaganda. Heck, I spent half the movie reflecting on the conspiracy theories I've read on 9/11.
My idea wasn't based on the facts of the movie, but instead I questioned if I would have acted if I was put in a position as those people presented in the movie.
the list of similar blather via the criminals running this country has sucked in quite the contingent of sunshine patriots whom are merely the
tools of a fascist cabal
and you blame me, my ideology, my RIGHT to question , my desire to investigate as the reason America is hated by the world?
Of course not. Soldiers, my family included, have fought for for decades to protect our civil liberties. In fact I'd wish more people would talk, even those people with ideas I feel are crazy. I always tell my students that I don't care what they protest or become activists for, but I just like seeing them being passionate about something. This world and country needs more passionate people.
I've been a member of the
ACLU and
EFF for years, and I wish more people would protest the Bush adminstrations calculated deterioration of our civil liberties.
that's a good one Matt
that's a Coulter/Hannity/Limbaugh-ism if i ever read one
Read above? I can't stand Coulter's BS, I get sick watching Hannity, and Limbaugh is just... Limbaugh.
i suppose you think freedom is riding a Harley too eh?
Freedom is riding whatever the I want to ride, as long as it doesn't interfere, impede, or harm others.
quite the contray, it was the current regimes trifecta Chimpie
~S~
Steve, my comment was based on your statement:
world's best and brightest superpower
Best at what? Brightest? I'm a teacher, and it's clear that a vast majority of our students don't receive the education they deserve. The vocal white minority has, and will receive a good education, but what about the vast majority of students who are in failing schools and failing families?
The world can't stand our damn cocky attitude. I think being humble is the key to life. I'd rather be known for what I did instead of what I said.
