The words here are difficult to read Becauseof the juxtaposing colors and sizes
Despite my use of tricks on the where system which uses contrasting colors to catch people's attention over the what system -whereby I slowed down your reading by changing the colors and the size of the letters I was using -this is not "mind control". "Mind Control" is the direct subjugation of the free will. Some say that this was done successfully by Chinese scientists on American POW's during the Korean war. There are doubts about the reality behind 'brain washing". I'm not shrugging it off by any means -I just think that the concept of "Mind Control" is a tad ridiculous and people are using the term very loosely.

but you did. I chose to read very fast, and your post, because of the contrasting colors made me read slower. My will? to read fast.
Mind control maybe over compassing, but it's still what it is, which is manipulation.
IMO you are spending much too much energy on the semantics of the word mind control and not the spirit of what this thread is about which is media being used to manipulate people.
