That is often true, but it's just as often completely false. There's assholes everywhere. Ours just happen to have a say in things at times.

In all fairness, the subset of Americans who participate in MMORPGs should not be considered representative of the culture.

@MeepMeep,
"I just could not imagine the terrorist would ever hit Sweden. There is just no reason to."

I'd point out that there was no reason for Anders Breivik to set off bombs and shoot people in Norway. Violence rarely relies on reason. The two are often mutually exclusive.

i read that poll result posted. and between 'anti-government group' and 'anarchist' that is 25% of the votes. so the media was at least partly successful with their current propaganda.

without the recent media that would have been exremely low and 'al qaeda' and 'crazy person' would have been the only two with decent votes. but then if you cut out the 9/11 propaganda then maybe al qaeda wouldnt be high either.

i think the results were reasonable. the thing is you also have to think about that maybe those directly responsible were groups like 'anarchists' but those 'anarchists' were infiltrated by special ops who were the real brains behind the operations. as happened with the ira bombings and the nato bombings and the al qaeda attacks and everything else. there is some part that is genuine crazy people, but behind it all it is primarily a covert op.

correction - not 'nato bombings' but gladio italian bombings. because it was not just nato and it was not nato's only false-flag operation.
