I would also like to know about the Date, Place, people, involved in your "true story".
As a prior cognitive psychology major I will argue that your "true story" is flawed.
Visual Supresion (you might call it) doesnt work that way. No doubt shock is a factor in your "true story", but there is a mechanism called rationalization, which doesnt work against us all the time.
And by the way, that Web site is way out there.
I have no doubt that each goverment has its own dirty little secrets, but that web site is 9 warps ahead of Star Treak.
And saying that the US planed that attack is just plain stupid. Bill Gates was behind this attack, to protect his company (if i read it right). OOOOoooooooooook!!!
And as VoidMan said, enough with the AntiAmericanism. Most isms out there are for morons. I will agree with Calum when he says that America has the "bootboy becomes president thing" but this whole nation has produced so many socialogical/technological wonders because of that.Its no wonder why all around the world when it comes into describing an American they all say "Those crazy Americans".
I dont think Calum though was making bad remarks about the USA in general. I think what he ment to say is that because of this bootboy attitude morons sometimes get lucky.
And am not saying USA is the start and end of all Civilizations. But generalizing is so easy for people and people are lazy by nature.
Bill Gates just got fuking lucky and on top of that he is smart enough to take advantage of his luck.
And if you brake it down ideologicaly, according to the American Ideals, Bill Gates is like Stalin.
Each country can be the content of bad jokes and bad remarks, but as I said again in another post, there is so much good going around the world but WE dont wanna see it. Its how we wired ourselves through the eons.
And no am not a treehuger. Infact After I graduate I am seriously thinking of going in the US-Military.
Anyway that was my 2 worthless cents.
Lets all hug now am buying Ouzo.
