It Dee & quot; from the alamo
It was awesome meeting you and speaking to you. I learn afew thing from our conversations. Papa, why do you even try to chat with this leafties commie. If all that he say is real. Why don't the cuban's in cuba send e-mail pictures to show how Cuba realy is. Do they have any laptops for there personal use. Take care.
D
THAT is all you could come up with?
It took you a day and a half to come up with that response? Again you get more and more reactionary with ever post, SCREAMING Propaganda won't do any good. I don't think you even know the definition of the word, or the different forms of propaganda or even who the biggest propaganda players are. I won't answer those questions for you, but I am sure for those that are educated enough to understand what propaganda really is, know that you use Jackson's website for it. All you ever post about is how horrible Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia and Argentina are.
I don't post on this sex forum about politics, why? Because this is a fucking sex forum. Granpda be posts to his old plaque filled hearts content about his hate and contempt for latin american leaders, and BTW, there is no propaganda in this statement. He is a sad, sorry old impotent man that NEEDS Jackson's forum to publish his PROPAGANDA on the internet. Everyone here sees it and most don't care. I do, I and many other find his comments not only out of place on this sex forum, but very insulting. And I will say this one last time, don't for one second think, that I will allow your insults to go unchallenged or your lies and propaganda to propagate without deconstructing them. For those blind motherfuckers who think anything but your own form of capitalism is not the answer. I will never try to change those opinions, but for those who do see a different path is available for their countries and their people, I agree.
Badboy.
P. S, just give it up Grandpa, your bullshit is old, I hear this shit all the time, the funny thing is you could never have a real debate because factual historical evidence would drown your pathetic answers. I have seen and heard very good debates from real progressives and real conservatives. And even though they go at each other, they actually speak truthfully and bluntly about their positions and their historical research. You on the other hand scream propaganda, you would get laughed off the podium. Keep it up though. I can allready anticipate your next post. Let me guess, " Propaganda ".
And in regards to your political prisoners on Cuba, read the report, there are 300, why don't you tell us about the political prisoners in the US? Or did you forget the 60's ? Or why don't you tell us about the US harboring Cuban Terrorists, tell us about Posada Carillos ? Would you have the nerve to talk about that ? My guess is you don't know enough about the topic to make an atempt. I love the selective memory loss. And about the USSR, again you never lived there so with every comment you make you only expose your own ignorance regarding the subject. You are a Black and White propagandist. You are a simple-minded individual that either doesn't see or doesn't want to admit that things aren't as simply as the arguments you make. I allready said it, for every 5 Soviets you find that loved the USSR, you will find 5 who didn't. You are stuck in a cold war mind set. Well the future will have to forget that mind set and forget people like you, so I am not worried much, you and people like you are on the way out, Just look at your buddy Rummy? Seems these motherfuckers are losing their jobs left and right. You're done for Gramps. Though I can appreciate your local following.
Techniques of propaganda generation.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ad Hominem: A Latin phrase which has come to mean attacking your opponent.
Appeal to Prejudice: Using loaded or emotive terms to attach value or moral goodness to believing the proposition. "A reasonable person would agree that our income tax is too low."
Black-and-White fallacy: Presenting only two choices, with the product or idea being propagated as the better choice. (Eg. You are either with us or with the evil enemy)
Demonizing the "enemy": Projecting a person or idea as the "enemy" through suggestion or false accusations.
Falsifying information: The creation or deletion of information from public records, in the purpose of making a false record of an event or the actions of a person during a court session, or possibly a battle, etc. Pseudoscience is often used in this way.
Glittering generalities: Glittering generalities are emotionally appealing words applied to a product or idea, but which present no concrete argument or analysis. A famous example is the campaign slogan "Ford has a better idea!"
Unstated assumption: This technique is used when the propaganda concept that the propagandist intends to transmit would seem less credible if explicitly stated. The concept is instead repeatedly assumed or implied.
Stereotyping or Name Calling or Labeling: This technique attempts to arouse prejudices in an audience by labeling the object of the propaganda campaign as something the target audience fears, hates, loathes, or finds undesirable. For instance, reporting on a foreign country or social group may focus on the stereotypical traits that the reader expects, even though they are far from being representative of the whole country or group; such reporting often focuses on the anecdotal.
Oversimplification: Favorable generalities are used to provide simple answers to complex social, political, economic, or military problems.
Intentional vagueness: Generalities are deliberately vague so that the audience may supply its own interpretations. The intention is to move the audience by use of undefined phrases, without analyzing their validity or attempting to determine their reasonableness or application. The intent is to cause people to draw their own interpretations rather than simply being presented with an explicit idea. In trying to "figure out" the propaganda, the audience foregoes judgment of the ideas presented. Their validity, reasonableness and application is not considered.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Seems like you had all your propaganda bases covered, though you missed the more sofisticated forms, though I think that was more out of ignorance than intent. Keep it up with your oversimplified black and white fallacies. Again in a real academic forum you would get laughed at. Why? Because the real righties, don't believe their own bullshit, it is for public consumption. You on the other hand are that public and therefore know very little about how things really work. You gotta learn the REAL arguments. And believe me, there are valid counters to some of my retorts, just because you don't know them doesn't mean you have to scream propaganda.

Some more factually accurate data AKA propaganda to senile Granny B
Population statistics.
In 2000, the number of prisoners under the jurisdiction of the Federal or State adult correctional authorities was 1,381,892 and overall, the United States imprisoned 2,071,686 persons.
In terms of federal prison, 57 % of those incarcerated were sentenced for drug offenses. Currently, considering local jails as well, almost a million of those incarcerated are in prison for non-violent crime.
In 2002 roughly 93.2 % of prisoners were male. About 10.4 % of all black males in the United States between the ages of 25 and 29 were sentenced and in prison by year end, compared to 2.4 % of Hispanic males and 1.2 % of white males.
As of June 30, 2005, about 1 out of every 136 U. S. Residents was incarcerated either in prison or jail. The total amount being 2,186,230, with 1,438,701 in State and Federal prisons and 747,529 in local jails.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compared with other countries, the United States has among the highest incarceration rates in the world.
As of 2004, the incarceration rate in prison and jail, in the United States was 724 inmates per 100,000. For the most part, the U. S. Rate is three to eight times that of the Western European nations and Canada. The rate in England and Wales, for example, is 139 persons imprisoned per 100,000 residents while in Norway it is 59 per 100,000. In many countries, it is common for prisoners to be paroled after serving as little as one third of their sentences. In the US, most states strictly limit parole, requiring at serving of at least half of the sentence. For certain heinous crimes, there is no parole and the full sentence must be served. The prison population in China was 111 per 100,000 in 2001 (sentenced prisoners only)
Privatization.
In recent years, there has been much debate over the privatization of prisons. The argument for privatization stresses cost reduction, whereas the arguments against it focus on standards of care, and the question of whether a market economy for prisons might not also lead to a market demand for prisoners (I. E. Tougher sentencing for cheap labor) While privatized prisons have only a short history, there is a long tradition of inmates in state and federal-run prisons undertaking active employment in prison for low pay.
Private companies which provide services to prisons combine in the American Correctional Association, which advocates legislation favorable to the industry.
The United States spends an estimated $60 billion each year on corrections. The population of inmates housed in prisons and jails in the United States exceeds 2 million, with the per capita incarceration population higher than that officialy reported by any other country. Criminal justice policy in the United States has also been criticized for the disproportionate representation of African-Americans and other minorities.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The US is the last country in the world that has a right to talk about incarcerating it's own population. Call it political, economical, social, racial. It is all the same. The US puts more people in prison for longer periods of time than any other country in the world.
Your personal comments are worthless Gramps, next time at least post some factual data. It will keep things interesting. Comments from a rabid wanabee right wing somewhat senile hack just isn't cutting the mustard.
Badboy
An opportunity to make a difference.
BadBoy.
In another post you say.
"I know first hand that the dollar is turrning into shit over in Europe, and as a US citizen that has lived and invested in Europe, that does matter to me.
Badboy"
On the other hand you seem to take great delight in finding fault with the United States. Well free speech is cherished in the United States so you can say what you like if you are indeed a citizen. On the other hand in another post you seem to indicate that you are actually a citizen of the former USSR. I see a perfect opportunity for you to stand up for your lofty socialist views. Why not show your solidarity with Castro and Chavez and the boys and mail your U. S. Passport back to GW?
