Well I know. Social “scientists” are a fff’d up gaggle of sadistic, deeply confused (and mostly mentally ill) misfits.
I guess none of these experts that had to do a study about it own a dog.
Yeah, well, when some embodiment of government or mankind mandates that I have to take my first dosage of Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT for short) treatment that involves sending an electric current through my brain. This causes a brief surge of electrical activity within your brain (also known as a seizure). The aim is to relieve severe symptoms of some mental health problems. Who decides?
Yeah, I know — I saw “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest”.
Got that album. Both Alex and Neil are gone now. Try to play their instruments, ain’t near as good at as they were.
Please summarize - as concisely as possible - the "essence" of the article, and explain its relevance for Free Republic, and thus your reasons for posting it here.
Or is this just some random "brain-fart?"
Regards,
I read all kinds of topics here. I wouldn’t know where to begin to start. If human beings don’t want to think about it that’s ok. I’ve nothing to lose or gain. Except maybe some wisdom or insight, based on the comments of my fellow humanoid’s. Regards.
I'm asking you to "think about it" - before posting.
If, after thoughtful consideration, you are still unable to grasp the article's main thesis, or to explain the gist of the article to others (us), and to point out some relevance to Free Republic, then I would venture to say that you would do us all a service by instead consigning it to the "round filing cabinet."
Otherwise, you're just "spamming" the site with blather.
Regards,
The article to others (us), and to point out some relevance to Free Republic. I read a very many points of relevance to some degree or another here about different topics, why not this one. Maybe it’s a probabilistic outlier. I’ve been here a long time. My human nature compels me to learn what others can teach me.
Please, start a thread. I’ll sure read it. When my quest for knowledge dies then so did I.
DUH... the left is finally figuring this out.
