T O P I C R E V I E Waquaguy91I get so tired of the lies and propaganda I hear and see from politicians and the media. Everyday I get on Facebook and see some more propaganda and lies from political candidates or news sources. 99% of it is pure lies meant to illicit a strong emotional reaction like fear or anger. The most disturbing part is people eat this stuff up and accept it is as gospel truth. Here lately I've been seeing this piece titled "The New American way of Life" making the rounds on Facebook. You can Google it and it will come right up. Basically,the writer of this piece tried to make it seem like government assistance and hand-outs are easy to get and the people that get these live high on the hog. The writer goes on to describe a crazy scenario where a man and a woman get all these government services by committing fraud over and over again and ends the piece by saying "is it any wonder we are 18 trillion dollars in debt?" The writer implies its easy to get all of these services and get away with welfare fraud and millions are doing it everyday. It's just asinine! The whole thing! It's even more asinine that people believe this nonsense. I can't believe people are stupid enough to fall for these tricks. Yeah!!! We should be angry at poor people when the government and the corporations are the ones screwing us over. (Sarcasm) when I saw this re-posted on Facebook I tried to reason with these people and explain to them how crazy all of that was but they just turned on me like vipers. One guy said "I guess the truth hit a little too close to home!". He was basically implying I'm the fictional person that is being described in the article. Little does that braindead sheep know that I'm working 40 hours a week and going to school full-time. It just depresses me when I see so many lies being fed to the people on a daily basis. It's even more disturbing that people buy it all hook,line,and sinker. I just don't know what to think about the world anymore.ValentineI hear your frustration. It's unbelievable how so many can be so gullible, You can't be the only one who isn't fooled. Ami AnneYea ------------------ Want to Read Simple, Fun,Sexy Articles on Astrology?
