when you can realistically understand how you are being manipulated by the media you might start to understand...

Mr. Grape: I never said that the media isn't (trying to) manipulate us. I don't know where this comes from. Of course, some media wants to. Some media wants us to click on ads, or buy advertiser products. Some media wants us to be very afraid, and some other media wants us to think like they do. Some media just flat-out lie.
The thing is, you and I and Crocket and everyone else, can be smart enough to at least be a little cynical, or to least dig deeper into a story, especially if that story is beyond the pale, or asks that we change our mindset or opinion about a subject.
Discussing ideas on GFY is a good thing. You read something and freak out. I read something and freak out. Then on GFY, we compare notes. Sure discussions get heated, but just because someone has the complete opposite idea on a subject doesn't mean we need to fight about it. (Fuck you and Merry Christmas!)

I don't know about that. To me, Science and Math are god. I demand proof of wild claims. I believe scientists, and disbelieve anyone who lies or cherry-picks to try to validate their own point.

Kindly talk to me like an adult. If you want to keep discussing things with me I'm happy to do so, but if you talk down to me, won't waste my time. Agreed?

You don't have to, and I never asked you to. I think X and you think Y and that's groovy.

I only see that stuff here at GFY a supposed porn forum. I can honestly say that liberal attitudes have cause many many wars. are you aware that when Hitler wanted to invade France is generals were hesitant. on paper Germany would not last 2 weeks. Hitler knew that the liberal media had destroyed national commitment in France by targeting the school children, forcing text book companies to change their curriculum. just like now mark. do some research if you truly do have an open mind. and remember this too as obama was proclaiming the grandeurs of homosexuality, honoring the NFL player and gay athletes in the Olympics, Russia was moving on the Ukraine, with absolutely no intervention. obama and the liberal world were thinking about dicks... fucking brilliant don't you think??? and you are aware that the ACLU was started by Russia correct? open your eyes bro...

That is a big mouthful to swallow, but already I have a problem with what you said.

This is a perfect example of "Cherry Picking". A lazy reader might read this line and think the ACLU is actually a communist thing, or an evil thing, etc. You can't just say snippets like this. Super-short snippits are a part of the problem I think.
Go to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americ...iberties_Union and read "Communism and totalitarianism" to get a bigger picture.
Peace and Love.
