During this time the television was just another propaganda weapon.\nOne official dismissed the ceasefire as a mere propaganda exercise.

propaganda - Spanish word for advertising.\nplainfolk - what people are before they put on their makeup\ntestimonial - your side of the story\nbandwagon effect - not knowing for sure, you do it because everyone else is doing it.  obviously, not wholly reliable, but a good indicator absent other information.  Also, a principle explained in economics textbooks.\nsoundbytes - quick and dirty.\nstraight ticket - voting the party line in an election.\nsplit ticket - voting two different party candidates.  or your offer to the cop to pay half of the ticket he just wrote you so he won't have to see your ugly mug again in court.  To my knowledge, it has never worked.\nAbesentee ballot - ballot filled out by a blond. An absentee ballot allows you to vote in advance if you are not able or not willing to go to your assigned polling location.  \n\nFrankly, I'm not usually this serious.  But, like usual, I should be seriously taken. Although I am usually right without intending to be wrong, I am rightly accused of being wrong if I am wrong about being right.  Hey, this is more fun than being absent now that I have voted.  Ah, the sanity in humanity is where I reside.  Apologies to anyone feeling uncomfortable reading this.

If they are selling something then there is propaganda...not much of a mystery there.

Ok, for those who have answered the following:\n\n- Moral persuasion\n- convince them that it's evil\n- diplomatic pressure\n\nI'd like to say "in what sugar coated world do you live?"\n\nThe warlords SHOOT people who are trying to get food.  People who have little children to feed.  Do you honestly think they are unaware of what they are doing?  Please.\n\nAs for diplomatic pressure?  Do you have any idea how silly that is?  They KILL their people.  They don't hand out surveys and take note of constructive critism.  Anyone talks out, bang, they're dead.  Someone says you said something, bang he's dead and bang you're dead.\n\nThe grim reality is that these people are inherantly evil.  When you have people like this, the only solution is to kill them, or remove them by force.\n\nThe only way to do this is war.\n\nBTW:  To whomever posted "oh, we have to find oil and we're there".  Pick up a book and do a bit of research about the war in Iraq.  You might actually learn something besides anti-war biased hype.  :D

I'm assuming that they meant that it could be used to make a rather pointed statement about the state of politics in the US.

Propaganda - Anytime you cut and clip pieces of things together in a way that gives your position credibility and edit out the clips that are damaging to your position that is propaganda.\n\nMichael Moore is a great "Film Editor" however he is a horrible human being.

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

you should put the facts down, then write down what you think about the fact...why is it good or bad, why might it have a positive or negative influence on the topic. basically what you think about the facts. that's all there is too it. do you agree with what happened? for example, if no one supported the movement at first, you can put that it would've had a greater influence if the movement was supported from the very start. Just put your thoughts down.

Propaganda is to advocate the views and interests of those advocating them. It may be or may not be a lie. It's a point of view. In most cases, the people advocating truly believe in it.\n\nOn the other hand, lie is factual, regardless the point of view. Also, lie is intentional. People who lie know that in their own hearts, but not telling. For other people, many times, it is hard to know if it is a lie immediately. But history can tell.

I would think that for the first two questions, just think of if you were giving a speech. Go ahead, imagine it. Now think of if it were a persuasive speech. You're trying to get someone to agree with you on something. If nothing comes to mind pretend you're the president of the USA and you're giving a speech about how the war is going in Iraq. Why would name calling be bad in such a situation? Also, why would you not being prepared be bad as welI? I think if you imagine that you are the speech giver you will be able to give some clever examples of your own. \n\nRe:  # 3, haven't heard of such phrases before \n\nre: #4  please revise question so it makes more sense (sorry, we just want to make sure i'm understanding you right)

'Slave labor'?\n\nSpare us the overdramatization, please! If you had a valid point, you wouldn't need to distort the truth as much as you do.\n\nIn a mature and intellectual position, the facts speak for themselves without needing to be 'punched up' with over-the-top rhetoric.\n\nI'm sure you have a bunch of facts to support your position, no?

An aphorism is a "tersely phrased statement of truth or opinion; an adage." My favorite is from Ghandi: "Be the change you want to see in the world." If that doesn't have truth to it, I don't know what does.\n\nBut I'm more interested in a link you had on another question. The webpage you direct us to raises a good question in itself. It says we should not hurt the EGOS of others? I mean OTHERS, full stop, yes. But their egos? Why?

haha, i actually said this today. \n\nit just means that you may be wanting to do good, but your actions are evil. \nfor example, we went into iraq to supposedly bring them democracy, which is good right? but we killed tons of iraquis in the process, not so good. it just means that those actions ARE taken into consideration even if your intentions are good. the means do NOT justify the aims.

If it proves to be true, assuming we're talking about a reasonably short time-frame here, then you're probably okay.  It also depends on "how" you say what you say.  The facts are one thing, but if you selected a hurtful way of conveying the message, it could be viewed as an unjustified verbal assault - and depending on the circumstances, that could be actionable.

It's a loaded phrase that advertisers use to grab your attention. It doesn't really mean anything....kind of like "virtually spotless"
