more replies off the "Voiceless" thread... Hi Change9
"Ironically it sounds like the Japanese, have more creativity and individuality now then Americans do, I think back to the 80s even and realize people dressed more differently then they do now. Where is the spirit of fun or being an individual now in America?"
I now think you Americans are now on the right path....the path to caring for each other and becoming a community again...I've looked at the Obama speeches on the White House link on Youtube...how cool is that!!!! The message now is working towards community NOT looking out for number one (which stank) and you have been brainwashed with for god knows how long. This is really empowering and as Obama said...and any teacher/good mother knows, is essential for a sense of pride and well being and connection and purpose and essential for self esteem and individual confidence. Creativity and new ideas will thrive.....how come all the most creative musicians and some of the best independent film makers come from here??? Because its nurtured.
"I used to be a goth, totally gothed out, wore nothing but black for 4 years in my early 20s.
Into the music big time and more. Wore the hair, the clothes, the jewelrey. Even used to subscribe to Propaganda..LOL Bit different now being Christian."
I'm going to be extremely controversial. Well here on this board I'm going to be controversial - noone would bat an eyelid in my secular country. I'm not saying don't believe it if works for you but I am saying that IMO the American church system has been the tool of the state to keep people from questioning and being individual and having their OWN VOICE!! So many sad examples here of oppression by the church...particularly of women. I was so glad Obama (as Coolio said in the Celebrity Big Brother house in the UK) included non-believers in his address for the first time. Was he REALLY the first president to say this??? Staggering. What a turn up for the books. When my non N ex first told me 3 years ago that the US was controlled by the church as well as being controllled by a few white men who wanted to control the world. I didn't believe him. Now I do.
This is a really interesting lecture (its short - 7min - and several years old but boy did he have it right)....but Americans have now found their voice and I love you!!!

Noone thought they had any power...how does that compare to an N relationship??? I don't need to tell you!!
As far as our country goes? Prince Charles is 'supposed' to be 'Defender of the Faith' (ie the Anglican church that was the narcissistic Henry 8th's invention to wriggle out of marriage and grab the next woman in line he lusted after). Prince Charles has openly declared he is the 'Defender of ALL Faiths' which includes muslims of course...he is a great friend of muslims, which the traditionalists in the church didn't like one bit of course. In my opinion he no more believes in god than I do....but he can't say so. He likes trees....all power to him...quietly and discreetly he does a hell of a lot of good deeds for groups of underprivileged people and cares deeply about architure, town planning, the affect of big business and the environment and is a thoroughly nice chap.
