This sounds like a person who believed in God but didn't stand by the principles of religion. Then she had a close call/ near death experience which forced her to have a guilt overload.

During that overload, she experienced everything she knew in her sub-conscience, everything she had been taught about heaven and hell as she focused on her fears and guilt over the life she had lead.

I'll guarantee she she was brought up in a religious home and religion was a large part of her life, so that when this experience came, her fear of death, caused her to remember everything she had been indoctrinated with. Everything she is saying is true for her and is a sentimental retelling of her experience but this just shows you how fragile and influential the human brain is to ideas if the ideologies are ingrained enough.

I believe she saw and felt what she did, but I also believe what she experienced was a manifestation of indoctrination and fear influenced by guilt which had been ingrained into her during her years of upbringing.

This is why religion is a dangerous tool. It's very powerful and influential and can be used to as a tool to over-power a person's natural abilities to discern the differences between reality and fantasy.

Cute overload at 4:16.

smug overload


Indeed, Dawkins appears smug. I attribute that as a commonly perceived side effect of being correct.

I need to brush up on my logical fallacies. What's it called when one attacks the delivery of the message while ignoring the content?

I don't have a problem with feeling smugly superior to delusional idiots.>> ^griefer_queafer:

fear. Put yourself in the cops' shoes. Holy shit batman. Adrenaline overload.


I think adrenaline was probably only one of the bodily substances involved in this exchange. Would have loved to see a closeup of the first cop's face when his behind touched the line of cars. Relief probably doesn't cut it.

Ohhhhhhhhhh cute overload!!!!!! *promote

See kids, that's what happens when you overload a socket with extension leads...

Hire a flashmob / lookalikes to dress like him and show up outside, let Assange blend in with them, and then disperse in all directions!


That could work. The thing about how that could work as well would be as soon as he's away from the place of focus, he has a much greater chance of getting away. The problem would be of course if the police are tipped off and surround and block off the streets, detaining EVERYONE in the process. So you'd have to do this during maybe a high traffic hour...maybe with a lot of people who aren't afraid of giving the cops are hard time because they might have to charge them or something.

It could work, but there's a significant risk involved of bodily injury, so I don't know. The other thing would be sensory overload which is possibly a dangerous alternative. Set up a call center and start calling emergency services, bombarding them until it draws police away or at least harms communication and confuses them. The problem with that is obviously if there's a real emergency during that time, that person could be in real trouble.

I don't see why any city would want the Olympics, especially big established cities. It seems like when it's over it all goes to shit because it costs too much to operate or there's not enough people to use it and willing to pay to make it worth operating.

And during the time of it being there and leading up to, all transportation would be overloaded, the rest of the city would experience strains on everything. And then when all the extra population leaves, you have to clean up which adds more artificial burden.

Atlanta would be the one to look to. And I haven't heard anything overly negative about it, they broke even. But overall it wasn't any huge plus to the city, aside from intangible feel-good things. And it had impacts across the country, like the National Guard being called in to help police the event and all the work they left behind when they were gone for weeks.

Can think of lots of other things a city could decide they want to do and actually create something useful and long lasting, not something they spend 4-5 years on and end up with some TV footage and memories and maybe a lot of debt.

I say, embrace it. Kids will still snicker the first few times they hear the name, but who cares?

That's right kids -- it is planet YER' ANUS. Enjoy your moments of juvenile mirth every time you hear it. YERANUS YERANUS YERANUS.

Perhaps we can mitigate this problem by dumping the kids into a sort of unfortunate name "sensory overload"?:

We are planning to ERECT a PENAL colony on URANUS. The first prisoners can be birds like blue footed BOOBIES and great TITS. Maybe we'll leave some PUSSY cats there to keep the bird population from exploding.

I propose that every 3rd grade science teacher recite the preceding paragraph (adding any more unfortunate words they deem worthy) to their classes every day until the novelty wears off and the kids stop giggling.

Title says overload but the rat never explodes. wtf
