well I mean opinions and such are generally the result of who you interact and engage with, directly or indirectly, by choice or force

so in that sense literally every human being ever is brainwashed. we are simultaneously all the victims and culprits

I am saddened to see how many of you are missing the point here. The value of the question was not to divide us or place one another above each other. It was my curiosity of how you think other people think and if any other countries think differently as I have been in America all of my life

If the question wasn't to divide anyone why would you claim people have been "brainwashed by the masses" or whatever

No one's brainwashed. People are changing their views and their methods of handling situations which is and has been constantly happening everywhere throughout time and there's nothing wrong or weird about it

Which you also said while making fun of all the people you disagree with. Super hypocritical.

Just because you view things differently doesn't automatically put you in the right - maybe take your own advice and see it from their perspective?

perhaps you are right. I appreciate your input, genuinely

 

[LambdaDelta]

I mean it's just simply saying the world around you shapes yourself

which I don't think is something anyone could deny

I feel you have more to tell me on this. Please go on

your entire op was about people piratically being sheep and that you feel it might just be an american thing for idiots to follow the masses. what point are you trying to make / what is your question? you're just throwing around some sentences with little to no idea of what you're actually trying to convey here.

If I had to say I guess I've been wondering what is truth and how do we know? what's it based on? I admit my presentation was sloppy but I appreciate your responses. I suppose I implied it was an American thing but I was trying to convey a sense of ignorance on my part and hoping someone could help me

What you said sounds more like ignorance and uninformed (Actually I'm not sure what you're going at exactly) and it happens everywhere. I'm from "a third world country" (I honestly hate that term) and have friends from other countries/who travel often and from what they tell me, these things you describe happens regardless of race or country. No behavior is exclusive to America lol.

what is the truth about what?
you're not making any sense what so ever.

take a few minutes and really think about what you're trying to ask us.

Well you feel wrong 'cause at this rate I don't even know what the **** you're going on about.
You might be feeling indigestion or constipation or something but it sure ain't me.
