Best post in the thread. I laughed so hardw@rew0lf said:We could possibly be twisted, but then again if we were truly twisted then wouldn't our puppeteers have some sort of backup plan to keep us from noticing the strings that they have wrapped around our lives? I mean, nobody brilliant enough to hatch a plot as dastardly and devious as twisting the minds of the masses would leave evidence behind right?

[sub]Well, unless you're this dumbass.[/sub]
So you have to ask yourselves, are you really as manipulated as you think you are? Was that Twinkie you just ate manipulated into your mouth? Was that man you just saw coming out of your mother's bedroom, half-naked, a figment of the imagination TV gave you?! Sorry about leaving my socks by the way. Or is it just natural human paranoia that's causing you to believe that your perfect suburban life isn't as perfect as you believe it to be.

No matter the answer. A sharp mind, if you're retarded then your fucked, and sound body will be more than enough to keep you from being easily manipulated...

yea...heyheysg said:By that I don't mean insane or totally warped like a cannibal or psycho killer. Just not in it's natural state.
Advertising - twists your mind subtly, affects your views towards materialism, what 'good looking' people should look like, gives you a host of neurosis about problems you don't have.
Porn - affects how you think about women and sexuality in general.
Bad tv shows, radio, polical campaigns, religious sermons etc - All these people have an agenda, which is money and power
Community - You may live in a narrow minded community and it works out better for you to be narrow minded as well if you live in that community. To a larger extent, the same groupthink/ideals as your country.
Parents - Imagine your childhood self as drying cement/tabula rasa. At an impressionable age, you have no reason to doubt your parents even if they 'lie' to you.
I don't see how it's possible for someone not to be 'twisted' in a way unless they were born in a isolated monastery
considering how everyone here is on the computer, i doubt anyone will be not 'twisted'.I don't see how it's possible for someone not to be 'twisted' in a way unless they were born in a isolated monastery
