[QUOTE="faulkton, post: 2856674, member: 561910"] Its really quite funny when people start talking about how society is going downhill and how we are becoming an increasingly morally bankrupt society. It's such a pile of bullshit. Sorry to burst your little idealistic view of the past, but people were the same manipulative, greedy, and base creatures back then that they are today. I mean come on - you think in a time when communication took forever and law enforcement was a total joke, that mankind was a somehow a benevolent and ethical creature?

But it [I]is[/I] great instrument to directly inject scare tactic filled mass communications into our cultural bloodstream, with television, and reap the political rewards. Playing off your fear that society is going to hell-in-a-hand-basket is a propaganda weapon used to prod you into supporting a system of indoctrination and oppression. Bad shit happens; It happened in the past and it will happen in the future. The only difference between the past and the present is that you are aware of [I]all[/I] the bad shit happening all at once and your consciousness of the situation is used against you. [/QUOTE]
