Reading thru old posts... there seem to be 3 kinds of people here:
1) ALARMIST You look at every world event as a sneaky, evil plot. Yes, the people in charge do shady shit and lie to you about it. It's how they keep your country stronger without making you have to worry about it. Yes, they lie. Cause we're too dumb to understand the geopolitical things behind it all. They let small attacks happen so they don't have to wait for other countries to get bigger and stronger, or cause we just need their resources. They say the war is going better, or worse, than it is, to get the population to support something. You guys need to chill out and quit freaking out over everything small.
2) SHEEP You believe everything you see on the news, and what the people in charge say. Guess what - if you look at history, every civilization in history has been corrupt and lied to their people. So either you're living in the first society in history where they're honest, or you're just gullible. You guys need to learn not to chastise others for analyzing situations and not just swallowing spoonfed info.
3) IN THE MIDDLE You are in the middle. You know the news and our leaders do lie. You know some of it is true though, and some is bullshit. You are cool enough not to tell EITHER side they're full of shit, cause they're both a little right. There are some crazy evil conspiracies that have happened, we know this. But not everything in society is one. Sometimes, shit just happens.
okay, MELTDOWN over
