Over the centuries, Anthropology
enthusiasts have made a science of
anticipating the uncanny human spirit.
And, whether you realize it or not,
retinuants of the social sciences have
made
an impact on your life in one way or
another.
Now that religion, (one of their most
favored stomping
grounds), is officially a
dead art, and the dungeonesque psycho
wards have been stripped of government
funding, the genuflect sages of
psychology
have been forced to emerge from
obscurity
to seek alternative fertile pastures.
Oddly enough, they have secured haven
and have come to nest under the guise of
online dating and matchmaking services.
With newsprung fervor and their outdated
data, they're getting their jollies off of
snooping thru your e-mail, texts, and chat
comments, pondering new ways to yank
the strings of your personal life.
So now that these professionals have
narcissistically reared heads in effort to
garner a bit of the public spotlight, isn't it
reasonable that they should be held
accountable for when they're wrong?
When their bad advice turns into someone
else's nightmare, shouldn't some form of
pensalization ensue?
There needs to be a new hit reality TV
show called, "Social Scientist
Smackdown!"
Paired teams of experts should be made
to
go head-to-head with tag teams of people
suffering from their substandard
clandestine
guess work.
That'll give'em a sense of responsibility
and
teach them to mind their own business!

I sympathize, in the main, with the rant, but ... |

Babies and bath-water, even if it has been a very tiny baby in a gargantuan bath for the past century or two: but [-] nonetheless. |

How can such a thick diarrheic slurry emerge from what is so obviously a vacuum? |
|
| |
//the genuflect sages of psychology have been forced to emerge from obscurity to seek alternative fertile pastures//
What the *hell* are you on about? |
|
| |
More of a rant than an idea. |
|

//More of a rant than an idea.//
About what? It's utterly devoid of meaning. |
|
| |
The words all (well, mostly all) make sense, and they're all lined up in order and everything, but somewhere along the way all the meaning has dropped out of it. |
|
| |
And what's the bit about social scientists "snooping through e-mail, texts and chat comments"? Is someone maybe getting a little paranoid? |
|
| |
Well done to [skinflaps] for playing the [etherman] gambit.
What they all said. [-] |

[Macdaddyx1] = Tom Cruise? |

It reads like a Scientologist's rant against online dating services (because they use psychological profiles to match people). I'm guessing someone spent yesterday alone. |
|
| |
Geez!! You guys didn't like my
Valentine's Day special?? |
|
| |
Well, Excuse me for playing the
catharcist! |
|
| |
Now <grunt> you've really <snort> put
me on the defensive! So much so, that I
feel compelled to explain that I am
engaging you (most honorable and
distinguished hooligans) in this forum
without the luxury of a standard qwerty
keyboard. |
|
| |
So when I happen to type words like
'pensalization' and 'recunbant', I suffer
continuity losses when your bushwacking
abilities kick in. |
|
| |
Everything else you've brought to the
table is purely speculative. Uni: .. Stay
out of my email!! (LMAO!) |
|
| |
I'd try to keep more of a pulse on current
issues. Bushwacking is not just a sport;
{(what goes around...) .. This anno in
conjunction with the link; apologies for
the confusion. :) } |

Your astrologist recommends that you get over yourself already. Take your lumps, don't overreact to the fish, and have some valium. |
|

No QWERTY keyboard? I type most of my submissions on my phone, but even it has a QWERTY keyboard and as I'm sure everyone will be happy, my new phone has spell check. Q9M :-) And if you can't handle people making fun of your spelling mistakes, go home, the world outside is too rough for you. |

[Mac] rocks the Dvorak! He is secretly Piers Anthony. |
|

[boysparks] startled a chuckle out of me. Helloo, deep compatibility! Unless, of course, you are NOT John Holmes, then you must expect not-so-deep compatability. |
|
| |
And of course Holmes is extraordinarily dead. |

The "quizzards hat-a-rack!" |

'Father! Father, the sleeper has
awakened .. cranky!' {ha!} |

[UB] I think your suspicions have just been confirmed |
