    Of course. When you get fucked over, and are utensil to fuck others over, you better invent some stories of how it's all very good and honourable, and how you're not a useless twit, cynically used and thrown away. That always happens, it's all they have. Empty words they need to repeat so reality won't seep in.

    So no, they don't regurgitate it at the drop of a hat -- they regurgitate it *all* the time, internally, it's just that at the drop of a hat they turn on the speaker.

    Serving the military of a free nation is as much of an honor as it is a sacrifice. Equally so.

    Yeah, namely "not at all".

    1. Advertising actually save money because it encourages more sales.

    When it comes to medicine, the only advertisement you SHOULD need is healthcare professionals knowing how well it works, what side effects it has, and how much it costs. So ads on TV and elsewhere, or a nice holiday for the doc so he knows what to keep ordering (because let's face it, it goes way deeper than open advertisement), just distort that.

    There is a HUGE difference between "results need to be published, and professionals need to be aware of them", and advertisement. The former does cost money, too, but nowhere near as much as the latter. Advertisement is there so people make BAD choices, not informed ones, it's supposed to make them spend money on things they don't need -- that just doesn't apply to cancer treatment, of all things... and even a little kid would have noticed that crucial detail. But when you're a mindless whore for money, who cares about the details.. just roll some blurb off the spindle, right? Fuck that. You're talking about boob jobs, not fucking medicine.

    All we got is from the sun, basically. So "I worked for this, I own this" is kinda hilarious. Especially looking at how much resources are spent on fucking people over, or simply blowing them (the resources, as well as the people) into the atmosphere. There is simply no technical reason why not everybody should have food and shelter. NONE. The very fact that people "work hard" (i.e. show up at their job each day and never question shit) is part of the reason people starve to death. Not all jobs are created equal, and working 24/7 in some cases entitles you to a trial, not any property.

    The situation is similar to the LA riots, where lives and property of innoncents are in danger.

    That's why people riot, often enough. To STOP the lives and propety of innocents being mauled.

    If the only option your policies left you is to shoot at your own citizens, you should disband, plain and simple. You need to await trial and say "thank you for not lynching me, that's better than anything I ever did for you guys".

    Or in the case of the LA riots: don't cover for cops who brutalize the powerless. Why not start there? Why does your brain only kick in when it's bootlick baton time?

    Yes, the lives of innocents are in danger. So step one is, remove any and all funding for the breaking up of protests, step two, protest. Stop buying these idiots these idiot toys. THAT is what I would do.
