Brainwashed

Have you ever been in one of those classes where the professor/teacher states what they think about a subject before a debate and then you come to realize later that the discussion was a little tainted because of their personal preference? A class where you suddenly realize everyone sounds like they've been brainwashed by the professor/teacher...

That's a little how I feel right now. I feel as though I've taken the easy way out.
The funny thing about the argument is that I agreed for the most part with what I was saying. At the time it didn't feel like I was being twisted into saying something and I still don't know why it feels that way now.

On a related note - do other people find themselves stating things that they really do believe and then not too long after asking themselves: do I really believe that? It always seems absurd looking at whatever I've stated the second time.

Anyway, I'm feeling a little tricked (like I commonly would after College Writing last year.) I can still see my professor picking out and praising one person in the class and another person in the class looking at my professor a little like she had been "enlightened."
