I'm cynical as all get-out, I know. Always have been. Always will be. At the same time, I'm really kinda happy. It's like a weight has somehow been lifted. Or an evil spell. Dick Cheney can finally spread his bat-like wings, fly atop some gothic/art-deco building and turn to stone like the...
Congratulations, Democrats, "liberals", and progressives. I'm glad John (Nosferatu) McCain and Sarah (Barracuda) Palin lost the election and that dumbass Bush and his crime family are nearly out. However, I hope that green progressives and Libertarians are not excluded from the new world. I hope...
Well, no. That was the purpose of the experiment in the first place, right? I thought Milgram was interested in knowing how dictators could control so many people. You know, the Nazis used the excuse, "I was just following orders". I could be wrong. But that was my understanding.
Is that supposed to be funny?
Whatever, lady. You have no idea how sick, stupid and degenerate I am. One of my few saving graces is that I am not so blindly and ridiculously obedient. Plus, I took the time to read your posts. Could you please do the same? I continue using the term "mental...
A simple technique to prove an overall point.
Never called them "mental retards". I said it seems like "mental retardation", which your hang up on those words seemed too me like you didn't even want to understand, which goes back to my theory that you are just some intellectual who would...
Carol Mosley Braun was part of the democratic caucus in 2003. Where were the Bush hating, black-loving media elites then? Where were her votes? Why is Obama any more popular than the next black candidate? Again, put out the same Obama personality with a white, Christian John Smith figure, and...
By the way, I never said the Milgram subjects were "mental retards". I said, "That seems like mental retardation". And in complete context both of your replies don't make any sense. It's like you're purposely avoiding my major concerns.
Ouch. Explain the first part of your arm-chair analysis. I'm curious because it's extremely easy and petty to get hung up on "mental retards" instead of trying to actually understand where I'm coming from or what I'm talking about.
And I'm going to assume the second part of that sentence is...
It is interesting.
It is very interesting to know that so many intellectuals can gather around and discuss behavioral phenomenas but do absolutely nothing to solve the problem. Or even care to talk about the fact that it is a problem, which it is. Learn from mistakes of the past? Pish-posh...
The media fracture. There is a reason why we have MSNBC, CNN, and Fox. With all these media outlets it's hard for it to be one nation under any real, hardcore fact. Sure, we get all kinds of information but it's almost always useless and almost always partisan. And the media plays this game of...
Pressure Congress, allow the USA Patriot Act to expire. No more illegal wiretaps (duh). Decriminalize all drugs. Pressure state and local officials to release all non-violent drug offenders. End the death penalty. Raise taxes on the wealthiest in order to finance public housing, public...
Exactly. I don't think that comment was meant to be tasteful considering the full context. You know what wouldn't offend you? A machine gun Crucifix or a Bradly tank with a bumper sticker that says, "Revenge for Christ!". And that's it; Christians worship pain. At least toilet paper rolls and...
Not only blind and stupid. But obedient to the point where they know they're hurting another individual? It's one thing to actually take pleasure in causing others pain. That, too me, is admirable in the most degenerate sense -- you know, the sickest, filthiest part of human nature. At least...
Well, sure. Good point. But I was talking about the other point I made:
"Society's overall reaction or knowledge of Milgram's Experiment is worthless." I feel like these experiments are done so we humans can learn and grow from them, so society actually becomes more sophisticated than it was...
Society's overall reaction or knowledge of Milgram's Experiment is worthless. I never said the substance was worthless.
Why? Again, I simply took Milgram's Experiment and applied it to modern society. And I think it applies. First of all, modern society is more sophisticated than it was in...
