  • @jajazpfile: It's like the brain's a sieve for terrible ideas, only the least terrible passes through to be acted upon, eh?

  • NO man in this video is disrespectful towards her. Nicola, you're delusional.

  • @schpitt Let me guess, you are a man! Right? You are a man taking offense to what I said under this video. However you would be right in what you said if I had said with determination that what I see in the men in the video is 100 percent factual. But I never did. How do I know what they exactly thought? I don't. And I never claimed I did.

  • @NicolaRedwooddforest You are as superficially judgemental as a teenager. If you had the experience and intelligence to do so, you would know that you cannot judge the relative intelligence of intelligent people form a 5 minute video clip. You are projecting all your beliefs and preconceived frustrations but the fact is you don't know what they are thinking.

  • hermione granger I love you you explained human mind

  • @hesellsmystuff That is a good question I guess all I can think is that when you use an item you have a general idea of what it is used for. The example she used of the comb is a personal item and isn't necessarily used on others. Other factors may come into play such as maybe having a fear of the item or other emotions tied in with the objects. Maybe they should test this out because I to would want to know what would happen though not with real bullets lol.

  • @Kaine667 I never disputed the intelligence of those scientists. I love scientists. But they are all human. Humans have emotions, which they usually hide. So I am assuming that those men have certain emotions. I am not being disrespectful at all. I just comment and share my ideas and thoughts. I never assumed they are looking down at her. Why does my comment bother you so much? You must be a man.

  • @NicolaRedwooddforest The point is that she is a very respected woman in her field. To think that those men, very intelligent men, are looking at down at her because she is a woman is disrespectful to everyone in that room. You might want to step back and think about this one.
