From: "angry troll [OT]" <thrash@justablip.co.uk> America are the problem of the world at the moment More dangerous than *anything* else They don't realise it Cos their media is brainwashing them with bullshit

Please don't lump us all together. Right near half of us have our heads on straight. The other half are either fucking half-wits or jack-booted ultra fundamentalist Christian Nazis. You've got a point about the brainwashing. We have a culture that spends its time sitting in front of televisions or in cars. Only in a few major cities and college communities does the art of socializing still exist. The rest of the time they sit and absorb what the television tells them. For instance a lot of Americans now believe that all cops and firemen are "heroes" because of 9/11. The television told them that repeatedly and now they believe it. Firemen are people just like any other. They are wife beaters, pedophiles, nazis, klanmembers as well as good folks and the occasional hero. Cops, on the other hand, are almost all pigs: http://www.biotechimc.org/or/2003/06/552.shtml The 6th - 9th pictures are a good demonstration. A girl leans over to pick up her water bottle, a cop grabs her, hits her in the ribs repeatedly with a stun gun, then walks away laughing. Welcome to the New World Order. You can protest, as long as you're protesting protest. Maybe if you Europeans would start speaking up over here instead of standing there gaping and mumbling to yourselves we might be able to change this crap. People are impressed by well spoken men with accents (everyone thought Tony Blair was the tits even though he constantly used multi-syllabic words). I guess that rules you out, Thrash, but I'm sure some Brits can speak without saying, "oi" and "innit" every few words. I would never recommend killing the President. Al Gore's ok by me. www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. "Look at the past 25 years. We went downhill, and if people don't realize it, they don't have their fucking eyes on ... In 1960, when I came out of prison as an ex-convict, I had more freedom under parolee supervision than there's available to an average citizen in America right now... God almighty, what have we done to each other?" --Merle Haggard (June, 2002)
