Maybe they need to take away the guns from the police
deedub81Take their guns? Nah. We should just give them ours. What could go wrong?

deedub81*quality for the self promote. Was worth it.

deedub81Also, I love the YT description: "One of the tricks of monarchic protocol is to make it obscure enough to catch guests and make them feel lesser beings. That's the idea of monarchy! Make everybody else feel lesser beings!"

deedub81That's awkward........ Doesn't he have someone on staff whose sole responsibility is protocol like this? Shouldn't he get a briefing/script when he meets with other heads of state?
She did say, "That's very kind." That was very gracious of Her Majesty the Queen.

Fail! near strangulation/electrocution by adventure runner
deedub81Even though that was crazy......I can't upvote. It's neither strangulation nor electrocution.
Learned Helplessness
deedub81Except she asked them how they felt, and group 2 solved the problem at significantly lower numbers and at a slower pace than group 1.
Also, she wasn't attempting to prove a point, but to simply illustrate a point. I'm pretty sure they "got it."
Not to say the concept is invalid but I'm not sure this experiment proves the point. I probably would have been still trying to solve the 'unsolvable' words before I went on to number three. They just ran out of time... nothing to do with learning 'helplessness'. A better structure would have been to flash the words one at a time to both groups. That way the 'dummies' don't get hung up trying to solve the words above. THEN compare what happens when both groups are simultaneously presented with word three.

Girl Taken from Pot Smoking Parents & Murdered by Foster Mom
deedub81Holy WOW. I can't believe how you all blame the state for this, and yet you vote for and defend 'big government' political candidates (left and right). Take my guns away, give up my privacy in the name of homeland security, outlaw everything.
This is a tragedy. The government is scary. Imagine them taking your kid away for a small time thing like smoking pot. I've had my freedom removed from me for a CLERICAL ERROR. Our most sacred rights in this country are voluntarily forfeited because we don't trust our neighbors.
At the end of the day, this is really the fault of that sick foster "mom."
Sad, sad, sad. I got teary eyed about this, too.
