No. Won't be doing that. The bible has also been edited to accommodate the whims of the church depending on at agenda they are pushing at the time. Fish on Fridays began because the fish market was suffering, so to make profit on the surplus of fish that aren't being sold, the church mandated that fish is to be eaten on Fridays. Tithes began because the church needed money and began to trick the public that they could buy their way into heaven and pay for their loved ones to cross over. Much of the bibles passages have been taken out and edited.

Sorry detective gadget but thats not really an original observation you made there. Yeah I hope it's obvious because that's the point of the show. They've never tried to trick the audience. From the get-go they let you know that there are cameras on you 24/7 a la "Big Brother"…it's meant to be blatant, duh.

Then why do you people insist in watching Hollywood movies?!?! It they're as horrible as you say, then don't watch them. But you know what? That's bc you can't help rubbernecking, like a bad car accident you can't look away. So you voluntarily watch these movies while protesting and claiming that it's being "forced" upon you. Stupid much?

People divorced less before because the had no choice in the matter. "Didn't like that your husband was beating you? Well too bad! Better not get a divorce because what would the neighbors think?!" People now have a choice of divorce without it being taboo; yes people abuse it but nonetheless people aren't obligated to stay married to hateful spouses.

No, but I'm pretty sure you use or have used a cell phone, house phone, shopped at a mall, been employed and received a pay check at some point in your life I assume? All you ppl argue that you will not be brainwashed but you still use and do things that are part of your everyday life bc they're necessities and you would not be able to survive without them. Unless, you are completely self sustaining and living out in the wilderness…aren't u using a computer to comment here? Hypocrites.

No. Blondie is a band. Debbie Harry is Blondie’s lead singer.
