Roll up. Roll up. It's yet another (yawn) game show. This time it's The Propaganda Show. Can you control the minds of the masses ? Could you , or your family, brainwash your neighbours ? Could you make the poor creatures repeat your propaganda ad-nauseum ? If so then you could could make a fortune. The usual rules apply. ie red v blue  |

How many can you read out loud, and then name the colour correctly in ten seconds?
RED
BLUE
GREEN
YELLOW
PURPLE

'.... Socialism annihilates family life ....'
That is a quotation from one Oscar Wilde. One might like to read the comments on this pronouncement here (in section VII of the second part), an article which is concerned about how certain 'socialist' pronouncements might alienate women. |

Thanks, but er, no thanks Ian. I thought it was an original SG quote. Surely Oscar was ' having a larf '. For, as any fewel know, homosexuality annihilates family life and alienates women.

For, as any fewel know, homosexuality annihilates family life No it doesn't - gay people can have families as well. Also, why does one mode of cohabitation or sexual preference need to exclude all others? and alienates women. Neither is that necessarily true. |

Ian, apologies for my (somewhat dismissive) reply #9. I certainly ain't homophobic. In fact given the choice between homosexualty, capitalism or socialism I know what I would prefer ducky .. er, sorry .. Brother.  |

Ian, apologies for my (somewhat dismissive) reply #10. I certainly ain't homophobic. In fact given the choice between homosexualty, capitalism or socialism I know what I would prefer ducky .. er, sorry .. Brother. Hey, I never said (or thought) you were homophobic. A choice of the type you describe seems a somewhat arcane formulation - if you were to choose the former, what economic system would you then have (there would have to be something, if all the people, gay or straight, are not going to starve). Homosexuality can exist reasonably well under capitalism or socialism; when questions of sexual preference are simply seen as banal in a wider context, then we will have achieved something (though there are both homophobes and those wedded to an essentialist 'gay identity' who would prefer this not to be the case). |

Well Ian. I've ' analysed ' my propaganda #10 and it seems that I appear to be advocating a socialist society run by homosexuals. I appreciate that this could be very dangerous indeed, especially if your a 'plasterer' with 'LoadsAMoney'. Perhaps I should have been brainwashed by MT's propaganda " There is no such thing as society, only people and families ". So welcome to 'The Propaganda Show'. I certainly agree with your comments elsewhere about the dangers of propaganda but, of course, what the audience really want to know is " Do you want to come back next week ? " |

Well Ian. I've ' analysed ' my propaganda #11 and it seems that I appear to be advocating a Socialist society run by homosexuals. Fine - only problem might be that the population may need to reproduce at some point? of course, what the audience really want to know is " Do you want to come back next week ? " What are the cash prizes on offer? Or is there at least a cuddly toy involved? Recommended book that I've just been looking at, which seems relevant to this thread: Philip M. Taylor - Munitions of the Mind: A history of propaganda from the ancient world to the present day. |

Fine - only problem might be that the population may need to reproduce at some point? May we take it that you are in favour of a society where only those in management have breeding rights? |
