That's what newspapers try to do all the time !

Re: Mind control: Scientists can now make people alter their prejudices and belief in God

No need for all this elaborate stuff, love has been altering peoples minds since Adam and Eve. Whoever harnesses love as a weapon shall rule the World, yes folks Lennon was right "All you need is Love"
I knew a chap who walked in the St. Patricks Day Parade naked because the love of his life asked him to. On a night of passion he said that he would do anything for her and she asked him to join in the Parade naked the next day, he did and he was arrested and jailed for a week, these were the days before streakers and the burly coppers in Dublin took no messing about. When he was released she was the first person he went to, but instead of flinging her arms around him and hailing him as her hero, she told him she didn't want anything to do with a "Jailbird", she promptly hitched up with another chap and that was the end of his love of a lifetime. I’m sorry if I sound cruel but I always laugh when I think of him, bloody eejit.
Just look at the thread about the 65 year woman swimming out to sea after her love, no army could get a 65 year old woman or anyone else to do that.

Good point, Alan. But I think for many of us the newspapers fail miserably in that quest...

Re: Mind control: Scientists can now make people alter their prejudices and belief in God

Can I have two please? One for my sensible head and one for my not so sensible head.

Re: Mind control: Scientists can now make people alter their prejudices and belief in God

Ok, Clumsy, I'll just scrape the foil clean and get on to your order straight away!

Re: Mind control: Scientists can now make people alter their prejudices and belief in God

Scrape it clean? I hope whatever was wrapped in it didn't have a fishy smell or something equally as horrible.

Re: Mind control: Scientists can now make people alter their prejudices and belief in God

I'm not sure what it was used for, my neighbours kindly leave it in bins for me to collect once a week.
It's just a bit greasy don't worry I'll sprinkle it with talc, then it will smell nice too!
For an extra £20 I'll use new foil

It happens everyday all the time. It starts when your parents teach you about life, mostly by example, and continues through school. Your whole thought process is based upon the people you meet, the things you read and your experiences. More recently the Internet is beginning to play a major role in the way you think. Salesmen and politicians have turned it into an art because they have access to your mind through the media and the amount of advertising we are exposed to on a daily basis. You might think that it doesn't affect you, but you would be wrong. A jingle going round in your head to the constant reference and visual sight of a product makes it recognisable and it becomes the product of choice when shopping.

Everybody likes to think that they are in charge of the decisions they make, but we are all susceptible to the influences around us, even this forum will be responsible for some of the decisions you will make today, and you will not even realise it.

Are you feeling sleepy yet?
