Last night while flicking through the TV channels I was intrigued by a Lebanese TV debate regarding women’s rights in Saudi Arabia.
The wonderfully articulate woman and the increasingly uncomfortable looking man make gratifying viewing. What was most interesting however was her claim that Saudis are brainwashed which got me thinking. My conclusion was that of course they are. The vast majority of Saudis are practically zombies. Automatons. Drones.
……But then so are the rest of us!
Us English are brainwashed into believing that Britain is "great", the British Empire was a good thing, that we are a tolerant and fair playing nation and that our soldiers and innocents in Iraq are dying to eradicate terrorism rather than to help the Americans to get hold of their oil. We are taught that we have a noble and heroic spirit. "Never has so much been owed by so many to so few"
If you want to learn how to think for yourself you're on your own!
My personal view is that if you want your eye’s opened, travel the world and experience other countries and cultures for real. Get a different viewpoint and make make your own mind up. This is perhaps the UK’s potential lifeline. I think that most intelligent Brit’s do travel regularly and immerse themselves in other cultures enough to see when they are being brainwashed most of the time.
I do worry about the Americans though. When I watch their TV which is very unsubtly brainwashing them from birth I hold my head in my hands in despair. Is it any wonder that only 20% of Americans have a passport? I note that the nominee for the Republican vice president only obtained a passport 2 years ago and has never left North America!!!
How can she possibly have a foreign policy if she has never set foot outside her own country where she has been brainwashed since birth that America is the greatest nation in the world (I’ve been there and trust me on this…It is not….its not even in the top 10 in my view) and that everyone in the world want to be an American.

Americans are probably the most brainwashed nation in the world in my view. They are brainwashed into believing that America is "beautiful", the American Empire is a good thing, God will bless America, That America is a democracy and not a virtual Police state, Christianity is the way, God is always on their side and that innocents in Iraq are dying for "democracy" rather than to make corporate America even richer. They also have a noble and heroic spirit. "Remember the Alamo"
This is all nonsense.
Our schools don't teach us how to think, they teach us one version of events as fact which most of us just accept. They want us to be patriotic, cause no trouble and pay our taxes. Free thinkers don't make good citizens nor good employees.

Hey America is Beautiful, just because our country is full of fat asses sitting in front of there TVs and most of us are brain washed doesn't take away from the amazing Rocky mountains of Colorado or beautiful golden cost of California and Oregon. Some people just don't leave America because there are a lot of options here and every state is a little different if you dont like one states laws you get to move to a different with out a pass port. Just because you went to New York City doesn't mean you can judge the whole country butt hole because New York, Texas, and California are very different states and all the smart Americans aren't very happy with our federal government and would like them to leave most things up to the states. Iv never been to England but hey Im not talking shit about it.
