Wake up humans!

Postby dedanna1029 » 08 May 2011, 18:37

It is always important to help educate our fellow human beings as the school system doesn't seem to be doing a very good job at it. Here is a list of some ways you can help to move humanity forward one small step at a time.

I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.

Yeah by wearing T-shirts with a message. If we do that we all will become geniuses. Can anyone get me an "Elvis Lives" T-shirt? I mean there are still stupid people who buy that he is dead.... :mrgreen:
Ironically the page does demonstrate a certain failure of the educational system IMHO!

The point is, to get the word out. There's other things listed there too. The point they make as well on *how* you talk to people is very important.

Good point to be polite, patient and respectful.
But what is supposed to be the word? (Everything is a conspiration? I know we are paranoid but everyone does not have to persecute us for it? Legalize Pot? Wake up from what?)
If this is a marketing site then they need to practice a bit themselves. The clowns on the videos do not have enough IQ to open a door and are beaten by a mile by Gizmo (probably to much Pot :mrgreen: ). Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is entertaining but using him as a wittnes of the truth is a joke (it is to him).
Truly a display of the failure of your educational system.

If they try to get across that you should not trust the government - a noble and very true cause - then I would recommend Wikileaks and newspapers (If they can read).
On the emotional side I would recommend the Wall and mother from Pink Floyd:


The nature part seems OK though.
Here is a quote from the site to place the final nail in the coffin:
"The US's HAARP weapon system can cause natural disasters, including earthquakes and tsunamis like the one that happened in Japan."

I rest my case.
