My point is, my post quality is similar in all posts, although I interject humor often.

I'd like to react to that last video, where some guy points out hidden messages in Glamour magazines. Now, I do not live in the US, but nevertheless I instantly grabbed two Glamour magazines we had in our language, one from 2006 and one from 2008. When I started to inspect the front pages more accurately, I saw the word 'sex' spelled out as well.
However, I doubt the extend to which these words can influence us. The voice-over uses words like 'mind control' and 'manipulation' for example, but I've carried out experiments that used subliminal messaging in a laboratory setting. In those situations, subliminal messages work, they excert their influence. But I do not believe that my nonconscious mind picks up the words pointed out on Glamour magazines. There are too much distractions.
I understand why such a magazine would do it. It's worth the try, isn't it? But in my opinion, the influence of these messages is overstated. I don't think there is much influence from them, if any. And besides, I don't think that subliminal messaging is as commonly used as the voice-over sais. Daily life isn't filled with subliminal messages, and even if it is, it's hardly working.
I quote John A. Bargh here:
SOMETIMES, subliminal messages are not perceived at all, in which case they have no priming effect. Just because a stimulus is not consciously perceived does not mean that it was, in fact, subliminally perceived. Subliminal effects can be demonstrated in a laboratory in which a subject's attention is carefully focused and no distractions exist, but the busy, noisy world outside of that laboratory is a very different story.

that's because they aren't subliminal messages.
The entire magazine is a subliminal message in it's self... The words Sex and Obey are secret ways TPTB communicate. If I was part of TPTB, and I wanted to know what the overall purpose of the Magazine was... I would just look up in the upper-left-hand corner and see the secret code... then I would know that this magazines purpose was to influence sexual behavior and to get the sheep to "obey" a certain standard in society.
That magazine is selling sex... there is no reason why they need to hide the word sex subliminally. They do it because it's a form of communication within TPTB.
Hollywood didn't subliminally throw 9/11 in our face... They did it as a means of communicating with each other without using an audible voice.
It's a hidden code... not a subliminal message.

The problem is that's your opinion, and the stars you get are not the result of your opinion, they are the result of other people's opinion about what you wrote.
I, for example, have a different opinion, I think the quality of your posts changes a lot (I even think it changes too much), that's why I give stars only to some.

ArMaP,
I’m sticking to my guns here chief. Nothing personal, but this is a matter of national security, international security, global security, individual freedom and individual rights, and more than that, in my professional opinion. I choose my fights wisely. I have a high degree of respect for you and this website.
I’m sorry ArMaP, but per the Terms and Conditions of ATS, I am not permitted to discuss this with you.
linguistics is not only words, but the process in which we decypher those words internally.
ArMap,
if we are not in full control of our own mental capacities, then it is logical to assume we are subject to some measure of programming already.
we are already programmed, and we are programmed to not know we are programmed.
maybe it is something in your water that makes you ignore your foundation?

You won’t see any more long posts as those prior to these in that format.

I skimmed through the comments as much as I could but I don't think anyone has made the point subliminal messaging hardly affects behavior at all. Or so I was taught in my psychology class...
Key To Subliminal Messaging Is To Keep It Negative, Study Shows
Subliminal images – in other words, images shown so briefly that the viewer does not consciously 'see' them – have long been the subject of controversy, particularly in the area of advertising. Previous studies have already hinted that people can unconsciously pick up on subliminal information intended to provoke an emotional response, but limitations in the design of the studies have meant that the conclusions were ambiguous.
Subliminal Advertising Leaves Its Mark On The Brain
University College London researchers have found the first physiological evidence that invisible subliminal images do attract the brain's attention on a subconscious level. The wider implication for the study, published in Current Biology, is that techniques such as subliminal advertising, now banned in the UK but still legal in the USA, certainly do leave their mark on the brain.
Evidence That Subliminal Is Not So 'Sub'
The popular notion of subliminal information is that it streams into an unguarded mind, unchecked and unprocessed. However, neurobiologists' experiments are now revealing that the brain does consciously process subliminal information and that such processing influences how that subliminal information is perceived.
