TLDR: do you see the internet as a burden or a hinderance to the evolution of our race or do you see it as an extreme enlightment? enlightment in the fact that innocence and ignorance are destroyed but a burden as we know too much?

Or maybe they weren’t. Last week, the tiny town of Bates City, Missouri (population: 245) was turned upside-down by such allegations. Six members of the Mohler family—four brothers, their uncle, and their father—were arrested on charges of sexually abusing one of the brother’s children for a period of several years starting in the late 1980s. The accusers, now adults, made other lurid allegations as well, including the claims that a girl was held captive in their basement long enough to give birth to two babies (one of which they say the men buried underneath the basement floor) and that they were forced to help kidnap and kill a man, brutally stabbing him to death... But what makes the accusations even more explosive is that they are coming out now, nearly 20 years later, because one of the plaintiffs says that she only recently fully remembered the events. Now 26 years old, the unidentified accuser says she “recovered” the memories after years of repressing them. The question now facing law-enforcement officials is how much credence to give these so-called recollections. Few issues spur as much disagreement in the psychological community as that of recovered memory. Ever since Sigmund Freud asserted that repressed memories of sexual abuse were the cause of hysterical symptoms in patients (giving rise to psychoanalysis, or "the talking cure"), the subject of recovered memory has polarized psychologists, especially in criminal cases, when such memories have been used to give alleged rapists and molesters lengthy prison sentences. Dr. Harris Stratyner, a clinical associate professor of psychiatry at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, says the existing research on recovered memories is “split down the middle,” with one side arguing such memories are symptoms of a "false memory syndrome," and the other saying they shouldn't be assumed to be pure fiction. Dr. Peter Freed, assistant professor of psychiatry at Columbia, points out that spontaneously remembering or realizing things happens all the time, and that such memories shouldn't really be thought of as "recovered."...</blockquote> <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-11-21/the-sex-abuse-memory-crimes/full/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-11-21/the-sex-abuse-memory-crimes/full/</a> Puulaahi on "Any movie discussion" http://www.myconfinedspace.com/forum/topic.php?id=812&page=14#post-42275 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 07:14:37 +0000 Puulaahi 42275@http://www.myconfinedspace.com/forum/ I have been wanting to read Lord Of The Flies.

For you, there was ‘nothing’ in between those two experiences (getting the injection and waking up). As far as the Cosmos goes, there may be ‘times’ (or non-times) when ‘nothing’ exists. Buddhist texts sometimes say, “Before the time when nothing existed . . .” Then comes a ‘time’ when the Cosmos opens its eyes (your eyes), and says, “I think, therefore I am.” The atheist position is that this cognizance isn’t God. It’s nature. Or, it’s the way things are; no need to personify it. The theist position (taking many fantastic forms), says ‘This’ is God. The fact that you personify yourself (when you think) suggests that the Cosmos personifies itself. After all, you (we) are the Cosmos thinking. Without this cognizance, nothing would (be known to) exist, therefore this cognizance ‘created’ everything. This rambling is only meant to suggest that a hairbreadth separates atheism and theism. “A split hair’s difference, and heaven and earth are set apart.” (or) Or, what a difference a hairbreadth can make! </blockquote> Edit: Link should work now.
