F***ing with Freepers: Sex catapults me to the big time

What the heck is "depth psychology"?

Perhaps the field has something to do with the "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy" segments on SNL...

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Why, thank you!

Why don't we just ask Osama bin Lad -- Osama Obama -- Obama --- OH NEVER MIND!

Awwwwwwwwwww. Mr Fancypants has his knickers in a knot over Freepers. Don't ya just love it when we get a response from the nerve-endings that were hit?

"Then, of course, the Freepers concluded that the case of LA Fitness means every gay man is a sauna whore."

Not all are sauna whores, some are highway rest stop whores and others are public park rest room whores.

Violence is much less dangerous to the human race than homosexuality.

Most of us endure a class in psychology as freshmen so we can get on to our majors. There is always one or two in every class who find it fascinating and sink another 8 years into getting a PhD in it. You can pick these folks out because they will say things like "alternate perspective".

But the real itch they are trying to scratch is this: they love their mothers, yet hate them, and its all very complicated.

Are you sure you're a liberal? I read your profile page and you seem rational. That's why I ask.

I'd say, if you don't think the government should make most decisions for the people, if you beleive it's okay to own a gun, and that people who allow themselves to get pregnant shouldn't kill their baby, you may be a conservative.

Waz UP?

I'm convinced that the highest levels of education are often accompanied by increased stupidity.

There is some inverse relationship there. Haven you ever heard the term "educated beyond their capacity to reason"?

[redgolum]

Did the author ever consider that we like making him go crazier?

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

The difference between science and the fuzzy subjects is that science requires reasoning, while those other subjects merely require scholarship.

I'm a "right-wing lunatic?" Cool!

Almost as cool as the day I discovered I was a member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy!

Its interesting how this column unfolds. Listen, I think a good 10% of the people on Free Republic ARE extremist who live on the outer fringe of reason and only want to spew venomous hate for those who do not support their really whacked out views. That being said, the vast majority of the people on here are more than willing to take a considerate view of the facts and advance the dialogue in a mature, intelligent way.

I can't understand how you can dedicate the first four or five paragraphs of an article essentially labeling a whole group of people as lunatics so that you can use the last paragraph to legitimize yourself. Its too bad, that as the author seeks to label freepers as polemic and hateful, he only accomplishes the opposite. He brands himself as the true irrational.

Cheers!

"Having a PhD in it must make him pretty experienced."

Poked higher and deeper?

[newgeezer]

Homophobic is the fear of homosexuals

Wouldn't you think someone with a PhD in any kind of psychology would realize that?

Apparently, his fudge-packer lifestyle suppresses his ability to reason.

I think it focuses on brainwashing others into believing that they are victims of atrocious childhood abuse that they don't remember....( I am making this up, but it sounds good)

[jellybean]

What the heck is "depth psychology"? Sounds like a made-up degree--perhaps off the internet?

I think he misspelled proctology.
