and it's what I WANT. However, realistically, if one of, or arguably, the MAIN goal is to wake people up, it'd be smart of us not risk offending people right off the bat. Truth of the matter is while I and most of us here can handle it, most people can't, specially those curious or just starting to wake up. They are too oversensitive and tend to think with "emotion" instead of "logic". Do we really want to risk pushing people away before they even start setting foot in the door?
Like I said before, it was a "mature and intellectual" world, but it's not or oBUMa wouldn't have been elected and romney wouldn't have received any votes either.
Look at the BIG picture, and regardless of "personal" emotion or philosophy, what it is that we are trying to accomplish. I waking people up is the DP's goal then I think it's too soon, and too early. If that's NOT the goal and we don't want this movement to continue to grow, then by all means.
So in essence it may NOT be as important about telling the TRUTH AT THIS TIME, unless we don't mind scaring people away. It's about waking people up, opening up their minds and NOT scaring them away, as sooner or later, once they're more open to different theories and facts - they WILL find the TRUTH - when they're ready. I don't think it wise to force feed the TRUTH on topics some may consider "controversial" for the "sake" of TRUTH. The TRUTH will eventually come to them.
Regarding those "new" to our ideas or this site, I hate to use the word "desensitize" or "deprogram", but I think it's one of the necessary steps in order to clean out all the brainwashing garbage the MSM and "Education" dept. has bombarded us with throughout our entire lives.
