I think he made some really good points.



Should we be asking more questions?
Why do we accept that war is part of our culture?

But can we really do anything ourselves?

Or are we destined to remain in a state of bondage?

[Jonnie19]

The reason why we accept war, is due to the fact that it is just normal. We've had many years of being told that War is good.

We get told that people who went to war, were "couragous", and it was something to be proud of.

Now I am not saying that we shouldn't support the Soldiers for what they did. But that doesn't me what they did was right.
Why do we allow men to go out and KILL innocent people, in wars. Because of propaganda.
It's NOT the soldiers fault in any way shape or form. I support the Soldiers. I DON'T support the war.
The war is a farse. War is just an excuse to kill, however people still allow it to happen. Due to the fact that we believe the propaganda everywhere. There is a whole wikipedia article on American Propaganda in WW2.
When I was in school we were "taught" that this was wrong? The Propaganda was created to ensure that people continued to sign up to fight.
Stating how wrong it was for "young men" to go to war. Yet, we STILL allow people to join the Army at age 18. So we can join the army at 18...but not smoke and drive in the US until you are 21...
The fact remains that Our culture is one of the strangest cultures out of all, and yet we see it as "normal".
"normal" being a relative term.
However I recently found this article on the "Shirbit Culture."
Article on Shirbit Culture.
Strange? Think about it for a few seconds....THEN open the spoiler.

[Show/Hide] The Truth about Culture

Shirbit Culture believe that the human body is ugly and that its natural tendency is to feebleness and disease

Doctors...what do they do? Try and CURE disease they fight and fight to just cure and correct the issues with people. We have to immunised against things because our body is too FEEBLE to protect itself
What is Anorexia Nervosa/Bullimia/Dieting...Obesity....Overeating....ETC ETC ETC...You are always to fat or too thin. You can NEVER have a perfect body. EVER! Even IF you have a perfect figure (which in itself is a debatable topic) you still feel ugly. So end up developing an ED.

The Shirbit indulge in rituals and ceremonies designed to avoid this.....The rituals associated with the shrine are private and secret.

Do you go into the bathroom with your partner/one night stand/mother/father/brother/sister...etc when she is on the toilet, or cleaning her teeth, (if you've NOT just slept together that is.) The chances are ALOT of you will say no.
You don't allow people in your room while you make yourself clean. YOU make yourself "perfect" to the world.

Do ya see where I'm going...here

I could go on....but just take a moment to READ the rest of the image I posted....think about it...tell me who the Shirbit culture reminds you of.

THEN open this spoiler if you are still COMPLETELY confused, and think I am a bumbling idiot...)

B R I T I S H It's us. It is the BRITISH culture, it is the way we live. ALL of these aspects are of BRITISH culture...

The fact is we cannot escape. We CANNOT break free of society, because the moment people start to realise that society changes.So they will change the ideals so that people can STILL be in control
However the question is, ARE WE ALLOWING it to happen?
No matter WHAT we do, a symbol can be defined by so many different things.

I can take ANYTHING anyone says and turn it around on them. If I can't SOMEONE ELSE CAN. That is the fact. SYMBOLS are the definition of the way we control life.
He may make valid points. HOWEVER Isn't HE getting paid to do all these things. HE who is trying to ripping apart the fact of society. is actually a fool to society. NOTHING WILL change.
