I received some propaganda from the U.S. government today (I think, or something). It had these big blown up pictures of the WTC and it said "Remember". It also had pictures of US soldiers in Iraq with little children, awwww.

It makes me SICK. I want to throw up.

This is a weird experience for me, it is the first time I have really encountered propaganda, its kinda, sickening. I so sick of the sick concept of propaganda, its just sick. Sick.

I think you're overly sensitive to things. Go take a nap, and come join the rest of us in the real world when pictures no longer make you "sick."

Forget about what?

Anyways, the US is obviously not the only place with disgusting propaganda. I'd even say that this (http://service.spiegel.de/cache/international/0,1518,401565,00.html) is worse, regardless of how obnoxious the 9/11-cult has become.

Let me get this straight. You post on the Internet and still have emotions? How does that work?

How the fuck can we forget about it when it gets wheeled out every time America does something vile and unpleasant and is looking for a figleaf of justification?

I used to despise all sorts of propighanda, but then I relized that sometimes you need it to get a point across.

It's not the first time you've experienced propaganda, sorry. Its probably jsut the most overt propaganda you've ever seen. Just turn on the news. Or watch some commercials. Or just expose yourself to any mainstream mass media product. And yes, it is sickening.

Bah, that's nothing. You should have seen the propaganda in Zaire during Mobutu's time. The bastard had a personality cult that puts Mao's to shame.

I get chills every time I see the Twin Towers in flames. Not a day I want to repeat anytime soon :(

I wonder why.
Maybe it has something to do with human herd mentality...we're being told that something is really bad until we really believe it. Or we believe it because we're expected to believe it.

Because to be honest, as horrible as that was for the people really affected, it has been blown out of proportion a lot. It really is some sort of cult today, when more people die preventable deaths in Africa every day than died on 11.9.2001.

Don't worry, I don't go batshit insane every time someone talks about 9/11. Still, it wasn't a pretty sight that day..

I sincerely doubt it’s the first time you’ve seen propaganda. Unless you happen to be a hermit, a very sensitive hermit, do cease the melodrama, ok?

You mean like the approx. 3 million people who die preventable deaths from malaria each year because the greens managed to basically ban the use of DDT around the world. Why yes, life's a bitch.

@ OP
Oh, and how do you know it was from the government? It could very well have been a mass mailing advocacy group. If it was from the government than I think more people than just you would have gotten one.
