Or is it just a clever media trick?\n\nI mean.  Are you REALLY free.  (not just in a bodily sense...)

Your question was very thought provoking. I checked out the word liberated in the dictionary. Yes, I personally feel liberated. Let me explain my position. I am free to make choices in my life. My thoughts are free to think about any subject under the sun I choose. and I have the freedom to act on those thoughts, if I so chose to do so. I am not a slave to "Media's" ideal of what a woman should wear, think, do, want or strive to have. What is important to me is at the center of my world, like being the best person I personally can be, treating others the way I want to be treated. Education, that is learning about things which I do not know, so that I have no fear of them, other than perhaps a healthy respect to stay away from situations that may prove to be dangerous. \n\nI truly do not understand what the media is trying to say to women, we have always had a certain advantage over men. Such as being able to "marry", have children and never work outside the home a day in our life, while we let someone else go out and make a living, provide home, food and clothing and basic daily needs. If men do this they are labeled, women are not.\nI truly believe I am really free.Free from being subjected to \nthe media's idea of what being a woman is really all about.

No. They get the information they want from you, then they advertise. Sometimes they're free, but don't think they just discard all of the information they get.

Someone once said, 90% of the population masturbate, and the other 10% are lying.\n\nIt's free and makes you feel good.....

I think the mind can capture more than our conscious thoughts can understand, like body language, symbolism, discrete metaphors.  It disturbs me that commercial media manipulates the "dumb consumer", and yes I believe that it's an industry standard to manipulate our subconscious into thinking they need to buy products to feel well, look good, and be healthy. It's sad.  An easy way to avoid the trap is to turn off the tv, and try to limit your exposure to unsolicited advertisements.

Oh yeah?...really?\nThat's what you think....wink

I understand what you mean...\n\nAt first glance it appears as if they were trying to be politically correct. I personally would appreciate that openness of mind.\n\nHowever, we can only guess their intentions. We don't know these people, and if they are really open minded or were just being plain unpleasant. \n\nIs this openness of mind unlike them?

Ichi THAT is BRILLIANT......I know that in the tangential thinking that often bests me 'thinkos are the weakest links, perhaps the 'savants' of my mind and truly the innocents. Perhaps they are what saves my butt altogether.\nAbsolutely Brill!!!! I am going to ask if I may have permission to use this in my writing for in my speaking & writing i have for the first time just spoken it aloud...thank for the new concept on somethng I have been doing, another thing to obssess on, fair play to you mate, brain food doesnt often ome through the screen like this. and it just did.\nNow does this include the frontal and temporal lobes? Will Kirlean Photograhy show this in action? Or is it a different part of the brain where the lost socks of our lives go to?\nTHIS is a cool quesion. I now possess a new word..and it is awesome..."THINKOS"..now THAT is HOT!!!

I believe it is auto suggestion, but to me it is a miracle that you body can do something like that even if it is self suggested (and subliminally at that).

They are telling you what they think you want to hear. Don't fall for it. You are not helpless! God bless

No we have not lost our ability to speak freely...\n\nI find being 'politically correct' a CLEVER way of disguising that particular word...\n\nE.g. "I think you are treating the truth carelessly"\n= LIAR !\n\nWow, some people would get it, others not. But one things for certain, that person cannot retaliate with anger if they they thought you said LIAR directly... if he/she was just as clever, they could keep up the game.\n\nSometimes people could answer with a dumb response... pft! what a waste of a challenge!\n\n...Nevertheless, I would rather hear, "he's got special needs" than, "he's a retard".\n\nI can understand what you're saying though... has it got alittle out of hand?... sometimes yes, it does make your eyes roll...\nBut one thing's for sure - some people need that re-education, that's all!

I haven't encountered that yet and I don't see why anyone would do that.  I love giving good answers and feeling like I might have actually helped someone, or made someone laugh, at least.  That's why I really try to think it through when I choose a best answer and give it to the most deserving person.\n\nInteresting topic to bring up though.  Have a great day! :-)

If this is how you get your kicks then carry on. It is not hurting anyone. I am sure there are people reading your question right now that do the exact same thing.\nEveryone has a secret, why can't this be yours?
