    How long do they keep them that way?

                      I was not referring to you. You are not the one who asked the original question.


                      .....And yet...Not being American...You still got the answer correct.

                        I'm just glad the media frenzy is over regarding all this. Back to showing death and destruction from Iraq.

                          They keep them at half mast for as long as the president orders them that way, which is normaly 30 days.

                            There is nothing wrong with showing respect to Reagan, the man served his country well. But that bullshit that "supposed" to be respect was just another gross overplay that makes a mockery out of "state funerals".

                            No doubt there was good reason to have a media frenzy that exceeded any "state funeral" - ever. Some call it "obvious distraction" with a touch of patriotic mass deception.. sad shit.

                                      Careful...Reality seems to piss off the masses. I am beginning to think that we should allow them to be blinded by stupidity.

                                                Yes, that is always the case. And "they" are always the ones that are wrong.

                                                      Your question is kinda like the old story of the weirdo on the bus.

                                                      "Mom always said there was a weirdo on every bus but I could never find them."

                                                                    Do you disagree with this?

You gotta build up some "case" (any old lies and bullshit will do), with a touch of "hatred" to anger the masses and create an "enemy". Follow that up with a dose of "deviant reality", pull the patriotism strings and they will not be pissed and love ya for it! Sound like transparent manipulation?

                                                                                I commented about the masses being blinded by stupidity and you replied with:

                                                                                "Wlo are "the masses"? All the people who disagree with us?"

                                                                                This implies that you are suggesting that people who disagree with "us" are stupid. I'm not the one who narrowed it down to people who disagree....You are.

                                                                                Do you disagree with this?
                                                                                Yes, I disagree. Most of the time people use the term "the masses" to refer to the large group of people who disagree with them. Usually "the masses" are considered to be the large, ignorant group of rabble who have an opinion different than "I" who somehow haven't the intellect to be influenced by the same writings and philosophies as "we". Moreover, "the masses" usually don't have access to the same information as "I" and are probably "victims of propaganda" or alternatively have been "brainwashed" - sometimes both.

                                                                                I don't actually use the term myself - other than this thread, of course.
