Thom:
Great post, as usual. You have a soothing manner, and your style of non-combative writing really brings a welcome level of balance to this forum. Thanks for the info!

Anonymous:
all that info was right here in the forum all along, but thanks Marshall for bringing it back up to the surface.

Now, how long will it take before they just wait for the thread to disappear and then to start calling blasphemy on anyone who says "brainwashing". Before they start ridiculing people who bring up the obvious comparisons to the techniques the korean's used on POWs?

My father used to say this "they say the seed uses brainwashing methods, but I think your brain needed a little washing".

welcome to the Orwellian world of a 14 year old florida boy, circa 1973.

Brainwashing: What does this mean? It does not mean that your memory is wiped out. It does not mean you become a 'manchurian candidate' robot pre-programed to carry out assigned tasks. It doesn't mean you are a zombie or are incapable of any critical thinking or feeling on any level. It does mean that your basic beliefs, ideals and personality are modified to conform with a desired result or ideal. Your ability to critically evaluate particular issues addressed by the programming is indeed affected. It is a catch 22 since it is this ability to critically evaluate the claims of the programming itself that offers the only way of freeing yourself from it's clutches. If you don't feel brainwashed, you obviously aren't interested in freeing yourself from it."

  People when the term Brainwashing is used, conjure up robots or zombies in their mind. wrong!

Brainwashing is a process (that we are all intimately familiar with whether we know it or not) that breaks down your ego and belief system and replaces it with one that has already been predetermined and bonding someone to a particular group.  It is a very deliberate and effective method over the short haul of affecting massive changes in one's personality.
