Vote for You!

Researchers have shown that voters can be swayed toward choosing a candidate by making the candidate look more like the voter. These visual manipulations were unnoticed, but were enough to swing the 2004 presidential election. The implications of the research go beyond digital manipulation and give a deeper insight into this year's heated race for the White House. http://www.sciencentral.com/video/

LOL And they say race does not matter. LOL We all want to be with the primates that look the most like us. I am white so I want to be with white primates, and I think my white primates are better. Its not racist its life.

No political system, no laws. Such a arrangement can only work if every member of the society actually know each other. That's a lot to ask in a country of a couple or more million people... Consider how societies treat each other. Everyone looks for himself and it eventually comes to war. So we want laws, we want a political system, and in occident we want power over that system; that's a democraty. Meaning if you don't like the system, you can change it; but!, you have to convice a nation...

Yeah, either start making sense or please shut up.

What? I said why force political systems on people, how does that equal no civilization? Don't mistake not being forced upon for non-existence.

Because it's the only way to maintain order and keep society in sync on a large scale. There's absolutely no way we would have come this far, technologically or socially, if not for a stable political system. We'd still be hunter-gatherers wandering about caves, working one meal to the next.

Mind control is nothing new.

Why force political systems on people in the first place?

religion is important I don't want someone who thinks that all African Americans are better than whites and vice versa! But seriously do I care if the person is muslum, Jewish, Christian and has been raised in the USA...No as long they are good people with good intentions!!!
