The rest of the world cannot vote in the US election, yet the US thinks it has a right to dictate to us? That's fascism.

Well I'm screwed! I'm always in either France or Britain

On a serious note, you do realise that, that video is pure propaganda... I've got a chapter on this type of video in one of my psychology books. Basically, the gist of it is, you start the video by stating correct facts, generally positive ones about the subject. This gets the viewer hooked and thinks, wow, this person is right and is impartial.

Then gradually, it gets to the real stuff. It mentions things that most average people don't know, twists the facts and makes them seem real. All the while, the viewer still believes that this is an impartial video. By the end of it, most educated people in the subject will simply laugh at the ridiculousness of what's being shown.


If I took the time, I'm pretty sure I could convince you that Algeria will be the next superpower of the century. But the truth is, Algeria is a dump!!!!
