It is a pre-judgement that is so rampant I honestly think it is the result of some sort of brainwashing from propaganda.

I'm so sick of people assuming that, because I am anti-ILLEGAL immigration, that I'm racist and anti-Mexican. First of all, I'm not racist against anyone and second of all, like many people in my position, I'm against ILLEGAL immigrants from ANY country, not just Mexico. Anyone who comes to this country (no matter their country of origin) without following the legal channels is breaking the law...it's that simple. It's easy for those illegal immigrants to claim racism because it diffuses the attention away from the real problem...which is the fact that they're breaking the law everyday that they stay in our country without obtaining proper LEGAL documentation. \n\nSince when is it a bad thing to expect the citizens of this country to be law-abiding?

Because it threatens our feeling of superiority too much, It is much easier to think those people are wrong than to accept that we are a backwards little planet, which does not yet rate  high enough for contact, but can be teased with sightings (which may be a test/ teaching).

It's basically a result of ignorance and fear.  People hear stereotypes and believe them and don't take the time to seek out the truth about them.

Some of them...\n\nBut Americans are being brainwashed, as Mr Nice Guy said. They tend to believe everything the media tells them, without questioning, not realizing that the media isnt really free, its controlled by the government. So much for free speech...

They are brainwashed .. most from birth ... the conditioning is reinforced on a weekly basis (if not more).

I think its hypocritical.

it's kinda backwards to me. Sure they are tring to get a good point across. But no one really believes them or pays attention because they act like CRAZY people.

The same reason people who say they believe in god without a doubt obsessively come up with an answer for every question. Because they are mostly trying to convince themselves.

Man you are coming with some good questions!! People that keep their minds in little small boxes are scared to see the big truth. They are comfortable in their little box, full of narrow mindness and ignoarance. You are absolutely right my freind, when you tell people something that goes against what they have learned or even better, things that they don't know, they get so offended and take it personal!! How can people love to be in denial!??! Doesn't it remind you of the narrowed minded people that were told that the Earth was round and the public killed them!?!?

I don't know...at first I thought they were fighting for their right to believe in whatever they want...the more educated about world affairs I became, the more it seems like they are just using that as an excuse to insight and create violence - just like America, Palestine, Israel, Islamic radical terrorists, etc.

It's not that it's convincing by itself. It's just that it ties in with what we heard on 9/11 in terms of news (much of which may have been unconfirmed). People make that connection between what they remember seeing in the news that day and what the government is telling us now and assume that because two sources are confirming the story, it must be true.

People are nurtured on a diet of information based on a Disney style interpretation of the truth. They are not stupid, they just don`t look for alternative versions of reality. media manipulation and an education system that encourages you to accept the official version of events does not help a person become intelectually independent. It suppresses free thought. Trust me i`ve worked the system. It is fundamentally flawed.

Because they're brainwashed themselves, so they think they need to brainwash other people.  Luckily not everyone is capable of being brainwashed, so that we can have some free thinkers in this world.

Unfortunately so..\n\n.Perhaps it's a need to "be the one" who gets it right?\n\n Perhaps they're trying to get Christians to work the "Great Commission" harder?\n\n Perhaps they feel "scare tactics" will bring more to Christ?\n\n All of the Above are counter-productive, because then it paints a "charicature" of Christianity...

If that is true, then i think they are just self-righteous or just simply misled.

Its very good that you have your own mind and not just follow whats in the local newspaper or tv shows. Educated people think they know all about everything in current events but sometimes they are just reading into something put there just for that reason, so they have something to believe. Propaganda is all around you man tv paper even in conversations with other people. We will never know the true agenda of the government or big business. Who knows if he is real or not ?Not me
