"You only have to look at the blues our idiotic politicians have made, and continue to make, by listening to 'experts'."

I'd say that they listen to the wrong experts, but lets take Covid.
Were they listening to the wrong experts, or was the game rigged to benefit pharmaceutical companies to begin with.

Even in the early days I was watching videos that said the ventilators were inadvertently killing people, that the vaccine messes up women's menstrual cycles, that it shouldn't be administered to kids, and funeral directors were seeing massive blood clots.

Anyone that paid attention would've known the vaccines were not made to combat the virus as the DNA sequence had not been learned but the vaccine which was actually a gene therapy was already available, that it would not prevent you from getting the virus nor prevent you giving it to others.
And then they prevented people from taking other things such as Ivermectin, and spoke about how Australia would be the most vaccinated country like it was a race, not each individuals personal health decision.

But they kept pushing 'Got to get your 9th booster shot' anyway.

So you have 'experts' and then you also have just 'total bs'.

95% of people couldn't see through the bs.
Believed everything the government said.

Am I the idiot, or is it actually the other 95% ?

"How about providing some of your own opinions by starting a thread, instead of just attacking posters who are responding to threads from people with the guts to put something up.

Perhaps you are too cowardly and piss weak?"

I'll think about it, I don't really like the idea of 'policing' everyone's responses, as they are their own.

ttbn,

I'd argue that civilisation is a construct of shared ideas, whereas a life of complete originality is the life of a savage.

Be grateful for threads like these that don't attract the goons. This is a thread for true believers.

Cinema certainly corrupts the innocent and the ignorant. The only idea of cinema is making money. No noble aims can be seen.

Discussion should proceed in a decent manner. Calling others names is not a civilized way of putting forth one's point of view. ttbn you have a narrow vision and narrower horizon.Arguments should lead to understanding and not
Confusion. You please get some opinions from intellectuals whether the opinion that cinema hijacks people or not.

Ezhil,

So are you claiming that cinema is like a video game and can mesmerise people, sometimes resulting in brutal acts? Wouldn't that then make video games as bad?

I think it would help this discussion if you better described your argument. I'm sure it is clear to you, but I feel like a blind man confronting an elephant.

Do you mean to say that cinema can be allowed to hoodwink people because there are many other bad things such as video games?
Whichever is found bad should be corrected. That should be the policy.I strongly feel that cinema is terribly being misused to send wrong messages to the youth because of cinema people's bad character. Cherry picking points to argue is not healthy. Will you please reply to all points raised in my post?
I am posting such topics not for fun or for hurting others sentiments. Let us continue the discussion in such a way that will lead to some enlightenment on the topic.
