I am thankful to the advanced work of psychologists and psychology in general. Makes our world safer, don't you think?
i think u just blew my mind. i have no idea how to respond...
LOL. I am not just a curmudgeon, I am able to think and philosphise on things too.
I never thought you were a curmudgeon in the least. Its just that your statement was so vague I didn't know which argument to make first lol.
My statement was not at all vague though....was it?
In fact the statement probably did not need expanding, but I did for you anyhow. So as to your position? Now that is a little vague. Your argument itself is rather vague. lol.
What do I mean?
Now whilst i was talking of Bronze age tribal people who "spoke" and were "commanded" to a Christian God and were the people to hold the belief as ascribe it as "Do not suffer a witch" in their doctrines, you introduce Native American indians,
Whilst I talk about the Schitzophrania and Multiple Disorders, you talk of epilespy and Aspergers.
Whilst I talk about psychology having practical and beneficial implicatications you denounce psychology because of cultural bias and back this with racism inherent in a society.
So with all THOSE vague references thrown into the mix, what is your actual position?
IS it that people hearing and acting on voices is a natural and endearing trait?
That such conditions ought not be psychologically kept in check?
That our modern day understanding and ability to medicate is a bad thing?
That modern societies understanding of the humnan mind is worse than that of ancient people?
That if some one announces to all they are the son of God and have a mission to share with the world, it is a good thing? If so, do you think that the same could be said if they said they were the Son of Sam?
I do not think you actually have a position at all. You accuse me of being vague and yet make no real assertions. All you are really doing here is muddying the waters and naysaying, for what i do not know.
I suspect (and I could be wrong) it is an attempt to do a little misdirection and not to be adding to the dialogue really in a constructive sense to garner admiration for your vagaritities and obscure references, without having to commit to a premise at all.
Am I right? See I am not so vague afterall...lol.
In your case, less "tetchy", perhaps, and more "overbearing, obnoxious arsehole", if it's all the same with you, Bloke. Is it ok? Oh, good!
