I'll date myself but I was thinking more along the lines of David Steinberg dancing around on the couch in a sombrero on the old Smothers Brothers Show. You had to be there. LOL!

They, on the other hand, have no problem with torturing an innocent child by encouraging their delusional belief that they are of the opposite sex and the only solution is the amputation of a healthy body part. "Why yes, little one, have a lopadicophamy, dress like Madonna and you will be cured!".

How are you going to do at Watkins Glenn this weekend? Most experts pick you or Stewart to win. I'm going with Boris or Ryan for an upset.

The Battle is for the MIND ... CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

Got me on that one. I never remember the Smothers brothers. I do remember Laugh In. Never really understood it, however. Sanford and Son, now that was a show.

An APA policy issued last year said that while psychologists should not get involved in torture or other degrading treatment, it was ethical for them to act as consultants to interrogation and information-gathering for national security purposes...right - but take a look at some of the experimental methods psychologists use - putting subjects under extreme conflict and stress by making them think they are administering very painful shocks to others, for example - and see how far from "torture or other degrading treatment" they seem - but wait a minute - such studies are not condemned, they get psychologists published, tenure, prestige, and all the rest - what a bunch of frauds.......

I read somewhere that the folks on campus with the lowest average IQs tend to be in the Sociology departments...

Personally, I would have thought that the dumbest ones were from the education department.

Re: Sociologist

When I was a undergraduate, I had to attend two lectures by sociologists. In both, a fellow mathematics professor and I spent the vast majority of the lecture stifling chortles because of what passed for research and "statistics" by these two world-renowned researchers!

My B.A. is in History. To be able to have something besides ramen for dinner, I am back in school for my RN. New degree (sadly, another A.A.) new pre-reqs including Intro to Sociology.

My prof was discussing the evils of ethnocentrism, fifteen minutes later he was telling about the pratice of clitorectomies in sub-saharan (muslim) Africa. I replied, "Personally, I think that the mutilation of women is abhorrent. Is that because of my ethnocentrism, or is it because it's just plain wrong?"

He squirmed for at least ten minutes while he formulated his "non-answer."
