EagleW was banned for this post by Evil Trout

I have noticed many Americans tend to be very ignorant. I thought it’s just me seeing it. I was told I was being racist (what does THAT have to do with it?! Also, I am not racist. I like fine upstanding member of societys. Log in to see images!

Well, to the point anyway, I thought it was me, until I have seen some movies, mainly by Richard Dawkins, or Zeitgeist.

Of course, I do realise you have to treat everything with a pinch of salt, ESPECIALLY that Zeitgeist movie.

Still, what they speak of is very true.

Guy gives some statistics, seriously, statistics I’d believe.

I won’t ask WHY IS THIS TRUE, I’ll ask WHY WOULD I BELIEVE IT?

I’m not American, I’m from Europe.

But Americans, and not by Europeans, but portrayed by themselves, appear as always distracted by the media, gadgets, gossip, and generaly entertainment.

Focusing on the less important things in life, such as (fast) food, watching TV, games, and misc stuff like that.

This is Maslow’s hierarchy of needs:

The general idea, if you do not know about this (we learn about this in high schools here), is that once the lower needs are satisfied, a human being can focus on the higher needs. That is what differs us from animals.

But as I observed American lifestyles for some past lives (no, I wasn’t observing per se, it’s hard not to notice you guys, seriously), I have noticed something weird:

America tends to promote fulfilling only the lowest needs, such as physiological (food, excrete), safety needs (GUNS GUNS GUNS, AMERICANS HAVE LOTS OF GUNS, MORE % PEOPLE HAVE GUNS THAN ANYWHERE ELSE except 3rd world countries that is) and social needs (“showing off” seems to be very important for Americans. BIG BIG BIG CARS, iPods, iPhones, guns again, etc.)

But the higher needs are totally ignored or neglected.

Moreover, people are falling for it!

The consumer-ignorant lifestyle is the easiest one to follow, so why not?

People go for it like sheep.

And this is one of the truths you can hear in Zeitgeist: The less educated the people are, the easier they are to manipulate, as they do not think for themselves when the subject proves to be too difficult.

I do realise USA has some of the best Universities in the world, but that is just SOME, and if you look this up, you will see how very few people in the USA have an MA, and how many of those people who study at those Universities are foreigners.

And no, I do not know if you are American or not, but I do know the majority of people on this game are. So that’s why I’m writing this right here.

I’m not even American.

Actually, I’m sorta glad I’m not.

And no, I am not some old fart with no life writing this ****, I’m 20.

Unfortunately, as I’ve noticed, way many people around my age in the US I could not communicate with normally, because all they care for are some “fraternities”. We don’t even have this **** here. I’m quite thankful for that.

On the second hand, I wouldn’t mind living in the US for a while, mostly because USA happens to have the best alternative concerts and generally best entertainment. Summer vacation in California would probably be the best in my life.

But that’s just what I have been saying, focus on the entertainment, watch TV all day long, that’s right. Take the easiest path in life.

Do what they want you to do, be uneducated and easily controlled.

The perfect crowd.

How’s that for thought provoking?

Wanted to write more but I realised my post will be lost between all the spam anyway, so meh.

Ya, not like I didn’t spam myself (maybe not THIS thread), I guess I’ll spam THIS very post, maybe it will get noticed. Log in to see images!

The timing was more varied than I would have expected from a script. Also, the lack of response could easily have been because EagleW was using “Back” and “Post it!” repeatedly without refreshing the page to look at new posts from other people first. When I’m posting heavy-duty spam, I usually don’t see other people’s responses until I have already posted again.

Yes, I was tabbing from a game and posting so I didn’t notice the warnings. But I already talked with MC Banhammer and got unbanned. Guess that I shouldn’t multitask anymore :/

Hello there.

Soo … no more song lyrics, I take it?
