I have need to define what "controlled participation" is, I searched on google but the first 10 pages wont give me the definition, they're all essays (and i can't read it cus its not free).

I know it has something to do with propaganda but Im not sure what it exactly is.

http://www.megaessays.com/essay_search/con...ticipation.html

example:

let the people vote to let em feel like they have a choice and power but at the same time controle their will by media for example...
thus on the surface they freely participate in for example the law creation process but under the surface just do what theyre are told be it due to propaganda, force, fear, pleasure or whatever

"youre free to do as we tell you" describes it quite good

To act freely as you choose within the boundaries and or limitations of the Rules.

Like Rock paper scisscors everybody knows that there is no string or laser beam option but occasionlly people choose them. Also many people choose not to play, the only garunteed winning move. (think War Games)

Tick-tac-toe... A universal Paradox, that nobody ever really wins at.
The only exceptions are when you play against a fool, or you get really lucky

0k thanks, got it

what about pnc? (for those of you not in the know its pirate, ninja, cowboy. its played in a similar mannar as rock paper scissors but with dress up... best example is http://www.comedity.com/index.php?strip_id=80

its actually about the word "controlled participation" and not kids games...

In such occasion, my "string would" Jedi, unless you can think of anything that trumps Jedi?

he-man does

Once again beaten by the master of the universe.

i demand a recount!!!!!!! since when was that muscle man ever better than a jedi... i can think of no such time

he rides a lion, has hair, a damn big sword, a castle, magic support of nature, a chick and a bunch of loyal followers...
what do jedis have? well they have some powers but are not allowed to use em anyway... chicks? earthly delights? no way for a jedi! basicly theyre the most boring heroes ever even tho kinda mighty indeed... he man would just take em up the bum nevertheless and let skeletor play with em after hes done...

"BY THE MIGHT OF GREYSKULL!!!! ALL YOUR ALDERAN BELONGS TO US!!!!"
