I believe the usual difference is "brainwashing" requires forcibly changing how someone sees things by mentally breaking them down, while "teaching" just presents them with information.


'Course people will still say withholding information and only giving them the information you want them to hear to be "brainwashing." I dunno if it technically is or not though; do the Chinese "brainwash" their citizens into not thinking Tiananmen Square ever happened, for example? If that sort of thing is brainwashing, then yes parents brainwash their kids all the friggin' time.

Oh please....conservatives have been preaching that Sesame Street was just felt-covered Marxism for years.
 
Sharing?
Tolerance towards others, especially minorities and the handicapped?
Two guy Muppets living together that occasionally say "I LOVE YOU" to each other?

We know the real truth: Snuffleupagus was just a Russian Bear with a trunk, and Kermit might as well have sung "It's Glorious Being Red".  :P

you don't even have to paint a green frog red, conservationists have also been the enemy of conservatives for a long time.

This.

And on the drug vaccines front, the main target there has usually been nicotine. One set of trials failed at phase 3 earlier this year (and the company more recently reported a second trial ending the same way). Although it seems it worked pharmacologically it didn't show any better signs of getting people to stop smoking than a placebo.

“Do something!” she whispered, trying to keep her sight on all of them at once.
Basileus clapped his hands once. The Forgotten took a step forward, attracted by the sound.

I actually have that cartoon. Some of the war era animation from Disney and MGM and Warner is just brilliant (although the anti-Japanese stuff makes me cringe from the massive racism). At least with the anti-German ones, they're just making fun of Nazis not the German people as a whole.  ::)

This isn't about him originating the plan Obama healthcare law for his state. Its about purging all official documents related to his governorship in order to prevent inquiry into his term in office. http://news.yahoo.com/mitt-romney-tried-erase-evidence-governorship-102728516.html

One would think that would be illegal. But then that would only be the 749,418th time I've ever said, "Isn't that illegal?" only to find that no, you can pretty much do whatever the fuck you want to when you're the right person.

The whole Muppets nonsense made me track down this video and watch it to the end again.

If you don't have 15 minutes, at least watch the last five.
