Do you believe it's possible to make someone believe something, without,
using force or drugs?

Absolutely. It can be done through repetitive media.

I've seen it. In children,in my co-workers it's everywhere. You can only
be told or called something so many times before you start believing it.

What we "think" is what we make our reality to be. If I think long and
hard enough about how things appear to, say Bin Laden, I will have
convinced myself that his view is correct. So, I do think we are able to
be 'brain-washed', so long as we're willing to follow along.

I think thats exactly why the powers-that-be often come down hard on any
'un-orthodox' reasoning. Its a danger to the structure. Sometimes its
good to question the perspective. Sometimes its dangerous to our own
well being.

The only good brain washing is with a scrub board, lye soap, and some
hard scrubbing.....

Absolutely through sensory deprevation and then reprogramming you can
get people to believe anything you tell them.

YES!!!
If you tell someone something over and over, they start to believe it.
For instance- telling someone they are stupid. After a while they start
to believe it!
My ex abused me verbally. When we finally ended the marriage I thought I
was the ugliest person, worse mother etc.
because I heard it over and over. That is why I make it a point to tell
my kids every day how smart and beautiful they are and that they can do
anything they want. I also attempt to inspire people instead of bring
them down.
