Hey Guys!
by becca16 » Sun Aug 24, 2008 4:19 pm
Hello all! I'm Becca. I live in a tiny town in Ohio and I'm 16. I've been reading this forum for a bit and y'all seem so nice! Umm I don't know what else to say so I guess that's it.

Hi Becca 
“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum – even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there’s free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.” - Noam Chomsky

w00t!!!! More Ohioans!!!!!!!!!!
Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right. -Martin Luther King, Jr.

Let's see: fora, forum, forums. Yup, Latin roots

Technically, yes, but it looks a bit weird written down (sounds OK when spoken, though).

I must have spent at least an hour doing that yesterday. I think I might take a break from it today.

ok this one is fresh "Anti-Semitism is no longer a problem. It's raised, but it's raised because privileged people want to make sure they have total control, not just 98% control...[Jews are]...the most privileged and influential part of the population.
