[QUOTE="dutchwrangler, post: 2582504, member: 4650"] Agreed. Yet who is supplying the information about the man which we as reasoning beings use to form our opinions? Much of what we are told by our government is given to us by the media. Who owns the media? Does the media have an agenda? Who controls the media? This government and the many administrations prior repeatedly lie to the people it supposedly represents. The media doesn't check it at all and is in bed with it, making the media a defacto state media and a whore of an institution. Same goes for the education system. And just about every other facet of life in America. All controlled by the central government. Which makes the US a socialist nation. Most Americans form their opinions of other nations, ethnic groups, religions, etc. based on the information provided by the USGov via the state controlled media. This fact is obvious by the many views often expressed on this forum. Close scrutiny shows that only a handful of forum members hold views completely opposite of the main body of members. Either we're wrong or the easily lead masses are wrong. Seeing the pure ignorance and stupidity of the American public at large on a daily basis prompts me to view the masses as being wrong. There is no fix for stupid except the facts. And since the USG controls the media, the "facts" are controlled to render a desired outcome... ignorant Americans that are easily manipulated. I defend the philosophical view of Christianity of the Non-Agression Principle and the Golden Rule even though I'm not a Christian. I prefer to defend Christians who abide by those same views and discount those Christians who rattle sabers which on this forum are many. In my view those Christians are Christians in name only. They don't live the life preached by Jesus. Hypocrits with a massive beam in their eye. [/QUOTE]
