Psychology: Is it a Science?

Short answer? Not. But first let's establish what that means exactly, and why it matters.

i dont know how you guys call it. but all i know is that psychology is the thing with which the whole world is being control. The people on this planet are being controled by those who have the power .thats why NO kind of authority wants pshycologically strong society.

a person that has true knowledge of the world + phsycological shield (cant be controled by psychological traps) is what the system doesnt want.

@GTBeauregard Not directly - what happens is Group A lobbies for benefits for Group B, thus Group B 'donates' funds to group A. Following that Group A form a social service Group C (which is comprised of members from group A - they trade hats every so often), and the gov't funds Group C. This is the military industrial complex - we see the same thing in feminism, black power, social services, police, etc, etc.

@Aurini Lobbyists get state dollars? Didn't know that. Would this be things like Community Organizing?

[Aurini]

@GTB Same for the black agenda.

Here's how I look at it: kids like candy, and even if they know it's bad for them, they chafe under the parent who denies candy. Introduce Uncle Buck who becomes a child advocate for candy dinners, and the kids fall for him - and get fat.

Lobbiests get state dollars, the state gets votes, and the blacks/gays/women/etc wind up worse off in the long run. I blame the SPLC, and politcians who should know better, not the blacks who fall for it.

@Aurini Isn't the State in this case just enforcing the will of special interest groups?

This is the area of ambivalence for me - is the State an entity unto itself which is pushing the agenda or does the agenda come from outside groups (likely under the umbrella of something bigger - Franfurt School etc.)? The homosexual agenda seems to be coming from homosexuals and leftists and not the state itself.

@GTBeauregard I think the largest culprit there is the state-sponsorship of 'alternative lifestyles' - feminism and gov't propaganda driving women away from marriage, turning them into sluts, wiping the ass of those who are irresponsible, banning any social shaming...

As in my latest video, they arrogantly decided upon the best policy. Without 'free money for women' I suspect we'd see more marriages. I suspect free-market sexuality would find a more traditionl-ish result.

[GTBeauregard]

@Aurini Higher rates of molestation by gay men -some studies show this or look at incidence (30% of victims are boys, gays are 2% of pop.). Also, I sense there is a link between homosexuality, the sexual revolution, feminism, and the trend towards libertine sexual mores. All these factors have the effect of making marriage appear to be one choice among many "lifestyle" choices - even condemning the choice -"breeders".

But not wrong in itself, I agree.

[Aurini]

@GTBeauregard Genetic predispositions are almost definite; from my experience (anecdotal) it's the 70%, not the 30 - and given that homosexuality isn't in-and-of-itself wrong (gay culture is another thing entirely) I would lean towards suspecting there's greater evil in suppressing it.

That said - of the crossdressers/transexuals I have known... there is often clear evidence of abuse. I don't know where I stand on that.

[GTBeauregard]

@Aurini Fair enough but why even muddy the waters with genetics? If nurture plays a large part in one becoming homosexual, then this is the area where psychology quacks should be concentrating - of course, that's off limits now.  We've been conditioned to accept this behavior like never before in history. I don't hate or fear homosexuals, I pity them and wonder what kind of crap they must have endured to flip that switch.

[Aurini]

@GTBeauregard I think it's both; most traits are both. Genetics is the recipe, environment is the oven.
