Quote:Originally posted by Causal: I'd just like to point out that my position on the whole tasing thing doesn't entail any particular view of the Iraq war; it's just silly to think that it would. In point of fact, I think that the Iraq war was a spectacularly bad decision.

Quote:What I like about the story is from what I could observe, the young man was in the wrong. He did the wrong thing. That's what it looked like to me when I watched the videos. I smile at the story because he admits as much, in spite of all the hyperventilating on his behalf. He admits that he was wrong. Mine is the simple satisfaction of someone who sees a certain thing in a situation and is confirmed in that perception.
Quote:After a number of voltage level increases, the learner-actor started to bang on the wall that separated him from the subject. After several times banging on the wall and complaining about his heart condition, all responses by the learner would cease.... At this point, many people indicated their desire to stop the experiment and check on the learner. Some test subjects paused at 135 volts and began to question the purpose of the experiment. Most continued after being assured that they would not be held responsible. A few subjects began to laugh nervously or exhibit other signs of extreme stress once they heard the screams of pain coming from the learner. In Milgram's first set of experiments, 65 percent (26 of 40) of experiment participants administered the experiment's final 450-volt shock, though many were very uncomfortable doing so; at some point, every participant paused and questioned the experiment... (but) No participant steadfastly refused to administer shocks before the 300-volt level.

Quote:Originally posted by SignyM: nobody- Rue has never pretended to be religious and is merely pointing out those that pretend to be relgious often seem to miss the whole point of the message of Jesus.
