Propaganda in criminal minds

Criminal Minds is one of my favorite shows, and almost 100% of the time they always have to do a press release or whatever to see if they can get a reaction out of the killer. But a lot of the time they lie to the public to get that reaction. From what I can remember from social class, the media in the US is aloud to lie to the pubic. But from watching Criminal Minds I completely agreed with lying to everyone to catch the killer; whats a small lie if your saving people, right? But honestly, lying to people about having a killer on the loose in your neighbourhood, or lying about pedophiles being released from jail, or telling people nothing it going on when there is actually something HUGE that they're hiding, its just wrong. That's not saving us.

But on the other hand, alerting the public about serial killers, pedophiles, etc can cause unnecessary panic, and some people are extremely paranoid so that's probably not a good idea. But I'd rather be told the truth no matter how scary it might be.

Just watching that show is crazy propaganda! Its teaching people that its okay to be lied to by your government and the police that are supposed to be protecting you. Whats more powerful then knowledge? I cant believe I never made that connection before, when it was so plain in front my face.

Here's an awesome music video that kinda made me start thinking about all this.

some verses

Luke 15:7 I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance


Matthew 25:40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

Matthew 9:10 Then it happened that as Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were dining with Jesus and His disciples. 

Matthew 9:12-13 But when Jesus heard this, He said, "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. But go and learn what this means: 'I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT SACRIFICE,' for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

extremist views

So me and my friend where having a deep conversation about religions and how people tend to think that Islam's religion is to blow up buildings and kill themselves in the process. And also other stereotypes like that, but in reality its not the religion that is telling them to do these things, its taking what the bible says to a whole new level; an extremist level. Christianity back in the day used to force its religion upon the native Americans, and also going to up to people that they don't even know and saying they're going to hell. Which in some way is true, but its way to extreme to go up to someone and say that. Nazism isn't a religion but is it probably the most extreme view known to man. To think that a person that has blond hair and blue is better then a person with brown hair and brown eyes, even though they're the same colour.

I honestly don't know any other examples LOL, but having and any extremist view in any religion or political standing is veery bad. People need to look at they're religion's and realise what they're bible/Koran etc is saying and not taking it to a whole new level. It is never right to kill any human being. It is completely wrong to kill innocent people even if your just trying to prove a point (which doesn't prove shit by the way) by bombing a subway station or something, and it is inhuman to kill a person because they are not the ideal human (blond,blue eyed,smart,no special needs, heterosexual, etc ) because there is not one person on this planet that is perfect, and it is never right to make a person change every aspect of their identity to go to heaven.

the marijuana (another rant)

So all the pot heads I know are always ranting and raving about how they want weed to be legalized, and wanting to vote for the green party LOL. Which I guess is cool if you think sitting around in your moms basement smoking weed enhances your ability to rap, drive, converse, get the women excited, eat, or whatever you think you do better. But honestly, it makes you look like a fool. No matter what your reasons are. Take my father for example: "im so stressed out", "I cant stand being around your mother" blah blah blah. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Dont just sit on your ass and cry and smoke weed until you cant feel feelings. If your unhappy do what makes u happy, if your stressed out go for a run or take up a boxing class.GROW UP.

Anyways back to the point, if the government legalized pot youd be paying $50.00 a gram or more instead of the normal $10.00 amount, therefore making our governments EXTREMELY rich while making you poor. Totally not worth it!

I just dont understand how people cannot see that they will be getting majorly ripped off! I dont see the point in legalizing it.
Also I bet the selling of weed from drug dealers will still be illegal even though the consumption of the drug wont be, therefore not really helping the drug dealers out of any charges they may have. And if you get caugh buying it from a person/place that is not legally aloud to sell marijuana, your in toruble my friend.

People these days...
