Liquid Reality User ID: 595066 United States 02/05/2009 10:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | showS how stupid we have become! Quoting: GREY LENSMANThink about it! UNQUOTE NOW AINT THAT THE TRUTH AND MANY OF YOU FEEL PROUD. GL Your post implies that things were better in the 1950's. The aim of public schools is not to educate, but to indoctrinate. Students learn to accept without question arbitrary demands made by a variety os 'authority figures': teachers, principals et. al. Students are taught to work within a schedule that does not reflect their own desires and interests. This is so they may join the 'workforce' and resign themselves to the bone-crushing tedium of a 'job', a scenario in which they are forced to accept arbitrary demands and work inside a schedule that does not meet their desires or interests. This Gilded Age of the 50's is an illusion. The program was already in place back then to turn the American citizens into obedient pack mules. It just seems worse to you now because it's been so highly effective. People are continuously focused on the symptoms and cannot see the underlying disease. Fools must learn from experience. |

TX PATRIOT User ID: 586184 Singapore 02/06/2009 01:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | TXP Quoting: GREY LENSMAN 606863WELCOME TO SINGAPORE A FINE CITY THEY HAVE FINES FOR EVERYTHING AND THINGS THAT YOU DID NOT THINK OF. BEAUTIFUL PLACE THOUGH OLD ADAGE BEAUTY IS ONLY SKIN DEEP. STILL, ITS AN EXPERIENCE, ENJOY YOUR TIME IN JAIL. GL LOL...quite spot on. In fact, just to ensure I don't forget, I have military helicopters flying by my hotel windows two and three times per day while they patrol the island's perimeter. But, the situation seems to go much deeper than fines and control. The people here, generally speaking, are such good followers. Like Stepford citizens, they obediently follow all the rules and regulations - even in business relations - and there is no critical thought. It just doesn't seem to exist. For example, we were entering a monorail station one day and the electronic turnstyles were not in operation. There was also a gate available for people in wheelchairs and those with baby strollers, etc. The gate was open for passage, but people just stood at the turnstyles trying to get their cards to work, and the lines just stacked up. No one would go through the open gate. We have experienced this type of stuck thinking in many different areas here. So, yes, while seemingly safe and beautiful, there is definitely a price being paid. And damn if Singapore isn't one of the most commercial places I've ever visited! It ranks up there with Hong Kong, a place in which I have no desire to visit again. I was warned, but I didn't expect this degree. Doesn't help that I am staying in mini-Disneyland right now either. Food in Singapore, both in quality and cultural selection, is fantastic, tho. ;) . |

I'm also quite surprised at the amount of occult symbolism here, but I suppose I shouldn't be considering its British controlled history combined with the amount of $ going in and out of here. Hey, while we are on the subject (sorry it's so off topic on your thread), do you have a recommendation for a cultural (not commercial) getaway in both Malaysia and Thailand? I want to experience the cultures, the people, the natural beauty. . |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 583852But, AC, the American people are complicit just as the Singaporeans (and those in most other countries except France apparently). We/they ALLOW the restrictions, the limitations, the abuses in our names, the usurping of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the brainwashing, etc. We all need to stop pointing the "I'm a victim" finger, take responsibility, unify and force CHANGE....REALchange that benefits the people. Congress needs reeducating in the subject of a representative republic, and the citizens are the only ones who can do it. . |

GL We need a time machine with better brains. What you wrote about resembles what I lived. I'll be 66 tomorrow. Quaere Verum had a meaning once. Now it's just another clever phrase. In those days being a rebel had real meaning and a purpose too ~ waking the hell up. Ask Tolstoy. Nowadays most of us merely sleep amidst the ever-flying bullshit barrage. Real bulls were better off in those other, older halcyon times. Yet, I had my run and still survived it well. Try doing that these days!
