Brainwashed

Actually, no…once again we have a thread that states the blatantly obvious. While I'm no cheer-leader for the Catholic Church…their propensity for violence wouldn't even register on the Muslim scale…While I accept that most Muslims, I presume, are reasonably level-headed, and have the same ambitions as most. I found when I had a passing interest in the religion, back in the 90's, almost universal contempt of the West by muslims living here. I was constantly pounded, and astounded, by the fantasy of their Islamic dream (which has never existed) and how it , LOL was superior, compared to western values and lifestyles. So in the end I totally rejected their cult….It's far more sickening under the surface than most realise. Don't think so…study it, get with them, and then get the ear-bashings….La-la land material…And each passing day of mass murder, bombings, kidnapping, genocide, convenient rape, etc..etc…proves their world has nothing to offer to anyone.

Of course we are all brainwashed. How many people come up with original ideas. I suspect not many, certainly not myself.

Some years ago I had just finished a biography on Rupert Murdock and that he was very pro Israel. On a TV channel that he owned, I think it was 10, reported that 3 Israelies were murdered and in retaliation about 30 Palestinians were killed. I probably wouldn't have picked up on the emotive term 'murdered' but for reading the book. Subtle but that makes it all the more powerful as anyone in the ad business knows.

I think that most people in the world want the same things. By that I mean the average type who strives for himself and his family.

When a person has nothing it makes them dangerous as they have nothing to lose.

There is money to be made, egos pumped even higher and control (power) to be had with a war. Religions seem to support this probably for the reasons above.

An example would be when George Bush started his war of terror and said that God was on his side. Where were the Christians saying "that's not our God. Though shalt not kill"? They knew if they did they would lose money, ego and control.

In this case the only people with moral fiber were The Dixie Chicks.

Before a war it is best to demonise your enemy. Both sides in this one have done a good job.

These are just my ramblings, bored at an airport, struggling with a higher intellegence (my phone), rest assured no original thought here.
