You might want to study a little bit about Joseph Goebbels, generally
considered the "father" of propaganda and brainwashing.

Excellent reference. The lessons learned from the Third Reich were very
helpful in constructing the extremely sophisticated forms of propaganda
that we have made a critical reality in Unitedstatesian political life.
Goebbels was crude by modern standards.

Endlessly viewed television, endlessly corrupted "news" papers,
magazines, and the 500-lb gorilla--Talk Radio. 100% fascist, 100%
agitprop, 24 hours a day. On *thousands* of stations.

The fascinating thing is that beyond a certain point the targets begin
dissemination of propaganda themselves. Endless "political opinions"
recited straight from fascist radio at the water-cooler like they just
thought it up; like it's *their* opinion. And this too converts other
people to do what every good honest Unitedstatesian attempts to do:
believe what they are told. We assume only the "other party" are the
liars, when we're both taking water from the same tap.

The words "conservative", "liberal", "tax", "welfare", mean almost
nothing or are used to label the diametrically opposite approach.
"Leave no child behind" is the slogan for cutting billions of dollars
in education. And so forth.

Back to the original post. Who wouldn't I want to go to the place
where I can get the most from my meager moneys? I don't see how that's
snobbery. That's minimizing my penury. I'd rather have two weeks in
some place pretty interesting than 2 days in some place pretty
interesting.

Your argument is deeply flawed. Propaganda isn't the critical reality in the US; corporate usurping of individual's
input into the political system is. Everything stems from treating headless corporate entities as "people", free speech
chiefly among those individual rights that have no proper analog to corporations.

Your reading comprehension is almost British. Re-read the original reply. It's snobbery to think that value isn't an
important criterion. You've agreed with me inadvertently. Re-read the thread, and agree with me advertently!

Hey, don't make fun of such an obviously intelligent person. All he had
to go on was the reference to US dollars, the statement that he wanted
value for "my dollar" and an email address from one of the major ISPs in
the US and he narrowed it down to someone from the western hemisphere.

It's fairly easy to see he's in the DFW area.

BTW, there are plenty of snobs in the US, so being a snob is no longer
an exclusively European attribute, although they don't teach snobbery in
public schools yet.

You have to go to a private school for that? ;-)

Even in case it is the last criterium on his list, even then, it is banal,
crude and vulgar to write such kind of statements.

I would, ordinarily, but it would be wasted on a Belgian.

I can hardly agree more on that
You probably know that since 1930 there "are no belgians anymore"
belgium is an artificial country that will explode before 2020

Makes me wonder why everybody seems so happy Their input has been
usurped. They don't seem to know it. I wonder how they've been kept
so uninformed. Couldn't be propaganda, could it?

It's not even worth responding to these folks that don't understand the
question.
That's why I wrote ....." (obviously everyone is different......this is a
matter of opinion)."
Yea....I love DIFFERNT cultures, food, people, religions, etc. I just
cannot visit them all at one time.
I'd prefer to go some place, like a previous post said......that I can stay
a 2 weeks instead of 2 days.

Hi,
I'm planning on traveling the world over the next year.....
One of my criteria is to travel to countries that have a good exchange
rate
with the US dollar. That way I can get more for my dollar.
Anyone know a website where I can find this info? I've searched
unsuccessfully thru google.
Obviously I didn't put in the right words. No use going somewhere where
my
money doesn't go very far (obviously everyone is different......this is a
matter of opinion).
Thanks
Mike

You're being utterly ridiculous. Economical travel is a perfectly valid criterion. You would need to elucidate on your
assertions to convince anyone otherwise.

If you equate "commercial advertisements" with propaganda, perhaps, But I'm not here to make your arguments for you,
just to carelessly puncture holes in them.

Right, I know. You don't seem to know that I know. You also don't seem to know I'm not calling him the snob. I'm
calling the snob who originally condescended to him, the snob.

Having read "The Trial", I can see you could use a good walk in the woods, with companions.

If you have any facility in Spanish, South America will be cheap. Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Chile, alll good bets. I'd
stay out of Colombia without a guide (preferably someone visiting home); the other countries I've never been or have no
reliable info.

While I share your distaste for the banal, I find the crude and vulgar a
refreshing counterpoint to the refined and sophisticated. But I abhor
the effete, the arrogant and the conceited.

More to the point, as a man of modest means, I appreciate the original
poster's desire to make his money go as far as possible. When you work
for a living, the cost of what you desire is of significance, although
many enjoy pretending it isn't.
