    Time to lose skepticism

    www.zeitgeistmovie.com

    this shows beyond a shadow of a doubt how world powers have manipulated the masses since the advent of religion, and how mass media is just another tool for the elite.

    As you will see if you read through the 33 pages of criticisms the movie is simply wrong about just about everything.

    If you are skeptical of mass media then shouldn't you be skeptical of "zeitgeistmovie"?

    "Purple alert! Purple alert!"
    "What's a purple alert?"
    "Well, it's like not as bad as a red alert, but a bit worse than a blue alert -- sort of a mauve alert."

    Well, the USA said we were there just to make up the numbers, but we finished ahead of them.

    We are on the rise I tell you.

    Yeah, Lecce.

    Good win for Fiorentina today. Beating Juve in Turin is no easy task.

    Nah, you had a good competition. Did well to get that far and were unlucky with the way you went out.

    However, had you been in a different group for the first round you'd have never got that far.

    As much as it pains me to say it, in a few years the yanks may well be a real force in football. They've got the money and a large pool of players. The kids are already quite interested in the game but the popularity just keeps on growing.
