Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt - The Dumbing Down of America 3/7

MrTerrificII Says:

Jun 11, 2010 - So far upon listening, I see no indication of a "delibrate" attempt to "dumb down Americans." To teach individuals to be welcoming of multicultralism and sexual orientation, is not "dumbing down" Americans.Behavioral and Attitudinal change is what this country needs. I do not see what her point is unless she wants to go back to 1776, Native genocide and African slavery.My apologies to the narrator and poster of this video but this lady may as well be straight out of the 1800-1900's.

Sep 4, 2010 - "The concept of separation of church and state refers to the distance in the relationship between organized religion on the one hand and the nation state on the other...Thomas Jefferson referred to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution as creating a "wall of separation" between church and state. The phrase was quoted by the United States Supreme Court first in 1878, and then in a series of cases starting in 1947." (from Wikipedia)

Sep 4, 2010 - ...Christianity is indeed the basic religion of the US...Christmas is a national holiday...proscriptions against incest have their roots in the Bible (between a post menouposal mother and her son for example)....TJ propounded the separation to protect the right to practice religion from interference by state...the state church separation idea has been hijacked to perverse ends...Is Poland a European Catholic country? Sure it is...nowhere is this explicitly stated but it is...

Nov 24, 2010 - thought your religion was the money cult run by your lovely Federal Reserve by pope Bernenke , haha !

Nov 24, 2010 - Well, I see teh same in Australia, what is being taught , as you mention multiculturalism isnt bad, but what she didnt mention is what is NOT being taught. Here in Aus the kids dont get any formal history lessons other than the history of the aboriginals, which at best is none existent. My kids science at age 16 is the same as mine at age 12 ...go figure !

Dec 3, 2010 - the most serious threat to kids that go to public school, is the twisting of american history that is taught to them...and that is partially why most americans accept this oppressive intrusion on our lives...theyr taught through school and media that they must submit, they enter adulthood submitting to government...trained slaves...all clueless as to what it means to be american and free...does the phrase "dont tread on me" mean anything to you? take your nappy or youll get a time out..

Dec 4, 2010 - I think the word you were looking for was simply "Brainwashing".

SgtTravisBickle Says:

Dec 5, 2010 - There are many techniques involved in Brainwashing and that's what I was explaining. So, go peddle your advice somewhere else, chode.

ancientastronomer Says:

SgtTravisBickle Says:

SgtTravisBickle Says:

Dec 5, 2010 - And don't get all defensive and bent out of shape over a simple word.

ancientastronomer Says:

SgtTravisBickle Says:

Dec 5, 2010 - I still don't know what your original point was. Is it that you're so unoriginal that you have to steal my lines?

ancientastronomer Says:

Dec 6, 2010 - Hey Chode!!...LOL...Steal YOUR Lines? My ORIGINALpoint was that YOU are a Moron.....Which, incidentally, YOU have definitely proven beyond a shadow of doubt. And, As a Moron, it is not incumbant of YOU to attempt to speak with such eloquent authority about a subject of which YOU know little to NOTHING at all. Namely, Brainwashing. Somthingthat YOU might seriously consider as YOUR Skull is loaded down with Fecal-Matter...LOL...But, YOU keep hangin in there...LOL...Chode.

SgtTravisBickle Says:

Dec 6, 2010 - Dude, you can't even spell and obviously have nothing better to do. I only posted facts. If you don't like the facts, that is your problem. Anyone can verify what I've said. You are just jealous because people give me thumbs up. I can't see any other reason why you'd attack someone who clearly knows of what they speak. You're a loser.

Mar 8, 2011 - @btsumm uh, no. That's the NWO tagline right there. We are not "One". We are all distinct individuals. "oneness" is just what this woman is decrying. Stop listening to Oprah and her con artist gurus.

SkinheadSaint Says:

Apr 16, 2011 - if there is no foundation that is based on a source higher than man then then man with the super imposed fascist authority will govern and manipulate your "morality"

sonnenlicht87 Says:

Apr 22, 2011 - i'll take the scientific method over any man created religion

HardlineAthiest Says:

Jun 14, 2011 - @skinheadsaint@sonnenlicht87What do you think science is you fucking retard, science IS our religion and science as we know it, is 100% man made. Besides jerking off to gay porn or skipping class, what fucking rock have you been hiding under?Keep your mouth shut, cock sucker. With moronic statements like that, you make atheists look like a bunch of narrow-minded numbfucks and total dimwads.
