Basically conscious "Inception". You have to come to the conclusion yourself but your conclusion is inserted. Very interesting.


A pre disposed conclusion. They don’t insert the conclusion, they insert the information that generates the conclusion.

There is certain barriers in the brain. Some information gets to the deeper parts of your thought process easier than others. They uses the stuff that goes deep, to generate the conclusions they want you to have from the bottom up.

What exactly about it didnt appeal to you? First. Lets test your objectivity. Are you a moral relativist? If so, you cannot be objective as you already reject the basic premise. You probably worship the idea and therefore my associating it with schizophrenia offends you. But. thats your blinder. The Truth is the truth.

The logic is flawless, and it isnt mine either, but the political scientist Paul Eidelbergs (based on the research of matte blanco) and presents a very convincing case for it. He calls its "demophrenia" (combining democracy and schizophrenia) and uses Israel as an example of Demophrenic ruling elite. Who concentrate and focus on 'similarities' or symmetries where they should obviously be ignored in light of the central issue. For instance. Arabs in israel are a) Israeli citizens b) muslims c) reject western style democracy d) support terrorist attacks. They ignore the latter 3 contradicitve points and instead focus on the one symettrical item between arab and jewish israels; their both citizens. This demophrenia leads to ludacris self defeating policies like allowing Arab Israeli press to encourage sedition. This liberalism is insane in the face of the greater problem, but the schizophrenic type dissassociation from reality forbids a proper look at the situation.

So. Look at Moral Relativism. It is patently clear that certain things are bad. It is clear that mistreating someone is bad because it causes them sufferring. Moral relatvism weakens the reality of 'truth' and instead trivializers and EQUATES (makes symmetrical) the evils of Hitler with the good of a mother therasa.

And BTW Schizophrenia isnt caused by brain abnormaliites. Its been attributed to a host of things, and none of them can be regarded as definitive causes because psychiatrists dont know what causes it. Or put more precisely, there isnt any acceptable reasons for the existence of schizophrenia. They know full well it is the existential culture which encourages the passions and weakens the mind/belief. What do you think is the result of this? you are dumb if you think this isnt 'logical. its perfectly logical. Finally, a reason for why so many people fill up institutions in urban centers (where moral ambivalence is greatest) in western society. I can assure you, if people had a greater sense of self control and a knowledge and assuredness in the sanctity of life; this anomoly wouldnt occur.

To prove that beliefs are the root cause of schizophrenia (and as for hereditary and the increased likelyhood. This can be inheritted just like a parents alcholism can be inheritted. Its entirely psychophysical. That is, the mind changes the structure of the brain. This is called 'plasticity') its accepted that belief modification can drastically reduce the symptoms of schizophrenia. Meaning belief has a great impact on its manifestation.

PS. Im aware that most people dont equate hitler wth mother theresa; though in academia this is the prevalent view. Amongst the lay people, this question doesnt MATTER. What matters are sense perceptions, video games, and anything that makes the mind bound to the emotions. Such a situation ENSLAVES the mind and makes it vulernable to this sort of condition.

So if he didnt why are the police reporting he had help allready ..?

"Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said Giffords was the target of a gunman whom he described as mentally unstable and possibly acting along with an accomplice."

I am sorry for the inoccents but would you not rather honor there memory be finding who helped this boy ,instead of saying he was a lone nut .If you care about the dead child you would want all those guilty found .

I completely agree, people kill guns do not. The gun is just a tool, like a knife, or sword, of baseball bat, or crowbar ... you get the idea. BUT, politicians spin things and use them for their own purposes.

Like a wise man once said, "A government is made up of people, notably un-governed"



the gun is a tool that is designed to put a bullet into something, to cause massive physical trauma. it is a highly effective tool and relatively simple to use for the amount of power it wields. just squeeze and aim and blammo!

i understand the passion behind the 2nd amendment. it's in the constitution and americans defend their constitutional rights with a justified ferocity.

but let us not pretend that the gun is an innocucous bystander in the taking of life. it is a tool of lethal force... lethal force delivered rapidly and at minimal effort.

let's not diminish its potency by comparing it to other (albeit relatively dangerous, but far less indescriminate) 'tools'.

not many children accidently bludgeon themselves to death with a crowbar.

not many madmen turn schools into hells with baseball bats.

not many folk accidently stab their hunting buddy in the face with a knife (yeah, i'm talkin' to you cheney)


i am not advocating for those who responsibly use firearms to give them up.
but let us not pretend they are anything less that what they are:

bang. bang... you're dead.

"Shot in the head, if she is not dead she will be soon.. Most likely atleast."

Tupac got shot twice in the head in 1994, and didn't die. I bet she can pull through, although it's not really a matter of her willpower, more a matter of where the bullet went in, what damage it has done, and what damage they will need to do to remove it.

You have to consider : the decay of morals in today's society, the large amount of population now living here.
Different cultures mixing together with different standards of life.
More people means more chances of crime happening, more chance of having a mental disease, and as the population increases as will incidents of violence. Not to say there wasn't corruption in 1776, With all these parallels working together, it seems over whelming. Plus human beings have a destructive nature to begin with.

No matter where yo are in the world, or who you are with...

Eventually something will happen to cause someone to pick up a piece of a branch and whack something.
Sorry to break it to you, but it's in our nature, and for now, bickering won't make it go away.

That's a bit off topic.
But since you brought it out. Another way to greatly reduce or altogether eliminate that would be to end prohibition. Do you work for DHS or something? Now I'm all for stopping violence at any level, but do you really want a completely controlled 24 hour surveillance police state?

Now back to the topic - in one way or another this was a political assassination attempt, which is obviously going to make the news. That's just the way it is.



Actually since the shooter was called a "pothead" by his classmates:

blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com...

...I believe I was completely on topic...and it seems as though they've brought back the drug rhetoric of "see this is what drugs make you do", hence my arguments about cracking down on ALL drug dealers in this country. It's not hard, they're everywhere, some might even be people you know who knowingly consume and traffic in illegal narcotics.

No, I do not wish to live in a 1984 styled "police state", no I don't work for DHS


I have a concealed handgun license, and would not hesitate to defend myself or others using deadly force only if it is the last resort, or if it were in a situation similar to this one. I suggest every citizen in this country arm themselves in the proper legal manner, maybe some of these situations could be avoided or at the worst cut short due to a responsible gun owner helping to save lives.

I can't believe you are actually making the argument that pot causes people to go on murdering rampages. That's so absurd. Dude I hate to name call but that is the most ignorantly stupid thing I've heard all week. I got nothing else to say.

And this was BY NO MEANS our final straw!
Don't even suggest that.

We just had a very successful election whereby the voice of the people was heard and acted upon, for the most part. This new Congress has (had) given many of us renewed hope. But before they even had the opportunity to get to work, this cloud descended upon their session.

Rep. Giiffords was part of the Congress that led the members in the reading of the Constitution. She was very excited and happy for the opportunity, from what is told.

Do not talk of things like tyranny at a time like this. All that does is incite another nutcase.

agreed, human beings have a destructive nature. and the gun is a hand-held instrument that's quite good at dishing out said destruction.

i am sure we would have come up with some other clever device to readily kill each other had the alchemy of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate and some deft metal smithing not been in out repetoire.

but here we are. as you said, a fragile state of world, over population, sh!tty humans running amok, etc.etc.

what can be done? we are all at the whim of angry bullets, be they fired from fool's wielding guns or corporate maleficence.

I do feel sorry for the woman and for the innocent people, lives lost, etc. Bloodshed and struggle are the last things one wants to resort to when they are asking for change. To believe that this election of crooked politicians was successful for the average citizen is foolish. These people may seem to care for us, maybe most do, but as long as their are evil powers behind the curtain, NOTHING will change. So we must force their hand. Tyranny has held this country by the .....for decades...it is just showing its face for the last decade or so.
