Man, you should go into psychology. They really need someone like you.
I know that was intended as sarcasm, but:
Actually, they do.
Do you think I actually believe the cr-p I spouted off for almost this entire topic?
I don't. It's just part of an experiment to see how people will react to a defense of something that, by the standards of their society, is absolutely wrong, and to see how many defenses I could come up with before every creative argument expired. The results came out just as expected, with a few exceptions.
However, it should be noted that this experiment did not meet the APA's ethical standards.
Nevertheless, I find these sorts of things far more effective when the people inolved don't
know that they are being used as guinea pigs.
I've done similar things, but not to this scale... That is if you are to be believed, you did cry wolf. Though..What were the exceptions?
Who is APA? American Psychological Association?
I know there are several people who enjoy defending an argument whether they believe it or not, so I've often thought of doing a Debate... Cos that'd be fun...
But still... Bullying is wrong, no matter the provocation. :: nods ::
