[Cycle of Eternity]

I kept seeing this little gem of mind-control and suppression of individuality in ad's on myspace, in the 'View More Pics' section on everyones myspace (great place to put it don't ya think?).

Are You Normal

Step In Line Sheeple!!

of course 'quizzes' like this are done by the gov to compare results to see where most are, in my opinion.

Indeed, you can see it as as yet another tool used by governments to profile its good citizens. Not only that but there are absolutely no costs involved with getting the information on subjects that would have otherwise have to be hired. That is, apart from website maintenance costs and the expenses of hiring a psychologist to do the analyses. If you ask me it's just another one of those narrow-minded 'psychological' tests with a limited demographical scope. And what's this thing called 'normal' anyway? Who determines a decent definition? It only serves to put people into little boxes thereby curtailing freedom of being of the individual. If I'd say, boycott the lot, would you be offended? :biggrin:

Of course you could take the quiz and do with the results what you will. I would think that, depending on the types of questions in the quiz, people from this site would be delighted to discover just how far out of step with "normal" America they are.

It should be called 'Mind' space, always thought so, nasty operation there.

I take these tests all the time... my personal little rebellion... what I do is always think to myself ... what would (insert someone) think answer? Picking a fictional character is best... my personal preference is that fat guy from th cop show... Andy Sipowitcz (sp?) ... just think of every question through his mind... dunno how much this fucks up their tests, but I often see polling data that includes 2000 or less people so I figure I could actually throw a monkey wrench in maybe... fuck em!:)

Interesting. Tests and quizzes are great propoganda tools.

Want to see the NWO in action? Next time in a store check out the Teen version of Cosmopolitan, Cosmo Teen I think it's called. They have some really wild quizzes which after reading them I can come to no other conclusion than that they want 12 year olds to be as crazy and permiscuous as possible. Check it out, it's amazing - the entire magazine is insane. Check out all the ads, the blurbs throughout it. It's incredible. It's like a magazine literally jumped out of the pages of Brave New World and onto store shelves.

Normal? I suppose, but my other personality is sure of it. Arrogant sob. (har har)

Thanks for the link. Who are they to define normal? I think we all have our own idea of what normal is which I'm sure varies from person to person based on morals, religion, etc., too many variables.

Norms change over the course of time. But I think it would be more appropriate if #1 were defined as 'the herd mentality as determined by the elites to conform to their standards of behavior at a specific period of time to meet the elites objective.' When considering the word 'elite' reference the synonym, asshole, or psychopath.

There is no such thing as a 'normal' human being. However it *is* a mathematical abstraction much like the (perfect) circle. Everyone has an idea of a circle but none has ever seen it in real life. The same goes for a normal person. But this has never stopped statisticians, sociologists and psychologists talking about it...

I cannot imagine anything more boring than to shake hands with a 'normal person'. I think I'd fall asleep during the act already....:LOL:
