Not as horrible as someone who leaves his son with people who are going to kill him and even worse he wants to kill him because of getting a prize. Again forgive you because of Franzbear! :smile: Although I heard you were drunk when he was born and didn't care about him at all! ( :cry: )


The bugger was my thread to kill, by virtue of being named as champine thread-killer by tribdog.

Lisa!, was that one of these tests where a "professional team" would stop random people on the street and tell them to lean against a "building that is about to tip over" while "they call for help"? Well more than 50% of the people do as they are told.

There was another psych experiment where a team of white coats told the REAL subject to press a button to inflict pain on a fictitious subject in an imaginary "pain threshold experiment," while they played taped moans and screams behind a panel, and the real subjects would still continue pressing the pain button because the white coats were telling them "it was okay, it was a scientific experiment."

Interesting! :smile: You know I'm only 1 person but well I have to admit that I'm interested in people's reactions in these situation. As you see I warned all of you "please not to take this test", but everyone did! :eek: Honestly I didn't want to scare anyone and was in doubt to post this here. Although I hadturned the volume down so I didn't think it could be scary at all. :blushing: I'm not crazy enough to do experiments on humans!
