The former president of the APA, Robert Perloff warns that:

"Psychology, social work, and psychiatry have been captured by an ultraliberal feminist agenda." Certain points of view are "squelched" by "special interest mafia groups", which use "shunning, intimidation, and blacklisting" to achieve results.

He concludes:
"I have lived through McCarthyism and the Hollywood witchhunts. As abominable as those were, there was not the insidious sense of intellectual intimidation that currently exists under political correctness."

Could the PC movement slow intellectual exploration? Is it worth it, in the name of carefully promoting tolerance and other noble goals, if certain areas are not explored by science and certain questions are not asked? Is it fair to subject psychologists who present unpopular findings to blacklisting, in order to prevent anyone from being offended?

I like that I can meet older women here who are intelligent and have interesting ideas and often doing interesting things with their lives and accomplishing things. I also like to learn things and be able to post my ideas and views. :)

How about you? :)

this isnt bullying, but my co-workers will make almost every day a prank. sometimes they will completely empty my cubicle, or they will put that tape 'Police line - do no cross' all around my cubicle, or they will put a superglue under my paperweight and then I wont be able to use it. all kinds of stuff. they even did that mentos and coke trick. it was funny from the beginning, but now its annoying. is there a way to cope with all those things?

What do you make of it when career-driven feminists get it on with their boss? Have you done that? Is it his, hers, or the system's fault?

You would think that Europeans, and their American cousins, would be head over heels enamored with all things Indian: Indian music, Indian movies, Indian food, Indian whatever.
But they're not. India is a very under-rated culture.
What's up with that?

Why do the reasons that affect demand differ from the ones that affect suppy. Basically what I am trying to say is what is the difference?

What does it mean when you have 2 dreams about the same girl? I had 2 dreams last night about the same girl. The first one was an intimate dream with her. The second one I was mean to her. Weird part about it is that this is a girl that I work with, and I can't stand her. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Pro-lifers often say they want to see abortion made illegal, except in cases of rape. Three questions:

1) Is the fetus that was conceived somehow less valuable or less human than a fetus conceived from a one night stand or a steady boyfriend?

2) Do you realize that if you had your way, a grown woman would have to *prove* to a judge that she was raped, and he would either give her permission or refuse permission? What if she WAS raped, but is either too ashamed to go to a judge or she does and he doesn't believe her?

3) Is it just possible that you think of babies as a punishment for having sex, and if the girl was raped, she doesn't deserve the "punishment"? As a mother of three lovely babies, I think that's a little perverse.

Had a dream last night. Something was sticking out of my belly button. I thought it was fuzz from my sweatshirt. Reached down to pull it out and it disappeared back into my belly. It also felt squishy. Not good, I thought. It popped back out and I grasped it and pulled. Slowly I pulled and it came out. And came out some more. Egads, I thought - must be an intestinal worm. No wonder I havn't been feeling good. Even though it tried going back in, I got it all the way out. And it looked like a snake, not a worm. It was beautiful though - for a snake, if you like those things. Which I don't, but I still had to acknowledge it's beauty. It was pink and white. I called my brother to come and dispose of it. (Don't live with brother - live with estranged husband) My brother went away with the snake. Later he told me he flushed it down the bathtub drain. Oooh, I thought with a nagging feeling - it's not dead - it could come back up out of that drain & find me again. Thanks all

I don't mind being ask later or not at all, but just when the conversation starts to go smooth, the next thing you know is you're being ask of your age! I mean it's very routine and sounds like an interrogation already! I just get to feel like i'm getting labeled or something! Is it a preference kind of thing!
I know for a fact that women take things more literally than men do, but this thing about age is spoiling the mystery and excitement!

I've had several dreams with demons and the devil. Yes the devil and NO I don't watch scary movies. My dreams are completely real. In my dreams the demons will try and attack me or talk to me. They are horrible dreams. One night my husband woke me up in the middle of the night becuase i was crying and praying out loud. When I woke up I could not stop crying. I told my husband that I knew i was dreaming but a demond was sitting on top of me and I could not wake myself up. I kept praying in my dream " I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ" which my husband said he completely heard me and was worried so he woke me up. My point is, I am an adult and i know what i'm experiencing. Has anyone had similar experiences. Please let me know!!

Hi there,

I was wondering if someone would be able to help me with this rather strange dream that I had last night.

Ok, first of all I think that I should say that I have been playing an Role Playing Game on the XBOX called “Fable” it is a game a played a few years ago but I have just got it back out and started playing again.

Well in my dream I was in the game, like I was the character (a hero) and I lived in the game (this is in my dream), so in the dream I was doing one of this missions where I had to escort traders through “Darkwood”

(I must say here that everything in the game was exactly the same in my dream, all of the names of the places and the way people looked and everything)

So I was escorting the traders and I got to the part where I was in “Darkwood Marshes” where there is a creature that is a bit like a werewolf, called a “Balverine” I saw the “Balverine” and my dream changed.

I was now in a town, but instead of having animated characters the people in the town looked like real people (though I still was animated and still the same as before) and I was trying to save the town from a “Balverine” invasion (this is not part of the game) I could see the faces of the people but don’t remember any of what they looked like, anyway I was trying to save the town and I was fighting all these “Balverines” and slowly killing them one by one until there was only one left and it was hiding the trees at the far end of town.

At this point some jets flew over head and dropped land mines all over the place and I remember saying to the people that they don’t have to worry now as there was no way that the Balverine could get to them because these land mines, that had sort of become mechanical spiders would protect them. I was just in the middle of explaining how the spiders that had came out of the land mines would protect the people of the town when my dream changed again and we were inside a house, and all of the people from the town where there (even though I could only see some of them I knew they were all in the house) and this little boy was playing with one of these mechanical spiders and was teasing it with a “Balverine” bone and for some reason I just knew that the last remaining “Balverine” was hiding under the house and was going to dig its way up to kill everyone.

So I drew my sword to protect them and I knew I could kill it easily, but then my dream changed again

I was now standing in total darkness with nothing around me and I was looking at this “Balverine” that was wearing the same armour as I was and holding the same sword, but it was laughing at me and when I asked it why it was laughing it swung its sword at my face and that was the point where I woke up

It is probably worth while saying as well that when I woke up and looked at the time I had only been asleep for two hours but in my dream I had lived a whole life time from been a child to an adult and becoming a “hero”

The very strange thing is though, I was not afraid in my dream I knew I could kill all the “Balverines” until the very end of my dream where I was facing that one that was dressed like me and had the same sword, that was the only time I felt scared.

I know this is long but I have tried to put as much information into here as I can

So if anyone might be able to help me make sense of it I would be grateful because I believe that our dreams are meant to teach us, but I don’t understand what this dream is meant to be telling me

Thanks

Jay

If you are sad or you have a sad personality, then you will like sad things? the same if you are a positive person, a happy person or etc.? I which case it wouldn't apply (if it does)... The more complete and if posible, backed up (studies, books, articles) answer gets the 'best answer' points.
