i love how religion hates psychology because it explains the dark spiritual parts of the mind with a rationalist logic.

psychology: defeating the 'its god!' catch-all explanation since freud+jung.

The government's chief drugs adviser says the UK is "floundering" in its attempts to control the online mephedrone market.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-10664537

Michael Linnell, from the drugs charity Lifeline said: "What we're in danger of is that nobody knows what the law is. You can't just ban your way out of a problem because it could result in far more dangerous chemicals coming onto the market.

"We're now in a situation where people are snorting white powder and they have no idea what it is and the people selling it don't know what it is either."

gg english government and legal system. 14 year olds still buying CHEMICALS from the internet (read: chemicals, not even 'drugs', just pure chemistry lab-rat style shit) and inhaling shit that could be far more lethal than any class A drug just because the industry is trying to circumvent the bans that have already been put in place. toxicity reports suggest cathinone-based substances (e.g. mephedrone) are relatively non-toxic and harmless in comparison, say, to naphyrone - another chemical that was manufactured and sprung up to replace mephedrone immediately after the ban. some batches of naphyrone have 10x the potency of cocaine - which is already at the top-end of drug toxicity reports, next to opiates/heroin. so... who is the law protecting here? what 'good' is the law doing?

what a clusterfuck. interesting thing that's going on, though. surprised internet-drugs haven't become a huge issue before now...

scientology is a 'religion' that is known for a systematic and methodological distrust and denunciation of clinical psychology and psychotherapy. essentially they're just more obvious with their 'religious' intent: spirituality and religious belief is a form of psychological placebo.

psychology is a rational, clinical and scientific rival to religious traditionalism. if you can explain your fears and gain a level of self-understanding and self-acceptance through scientific reasoning and inter-human cognitive therapies - why do you need a god?

no use, zeek. religious people are like addicts - they know they've been fucked up and are out of control, but they are either too weak and scared to admit it to themselves or they are simply coo-coo's. no amount of reasoning or logic will change their mind - not before they themselves make a conscious effort to break free. it would've actually been funny if it wasn't so sad.

How does one run into a volcano?

Wouldn't you have to "climb" into a volcano?

Or even "jump" into a volcano?

Works on the same principle as the "So a man walks/runs into a bar and says : Ouch" Joke.

A boy comes home from primary school one day. His mother notices that he's got a big smile on his face. She asks, "You look happy, did anything special happen at school today?"
"Yes mum - I had sex with my English teacher!" he replied.
The mother is stunned. "Get up them stairs now and wait until your father gets home!"
The dad comes home and hears the news; he's as pleased as punch. Beaming with pride, he walks over to his son and says, "I hear you had sex with your English teacher."
"That's right, Dad."
"Well, you became a man today - this is a cause for celebration. Let's get fish and chips, then I'll buy you that bike you've been asking for."
"Mint! - but I can I have a football instead? My arse is killing me."

That's dirty. Trying to think of a good one... hmm...

not like theres anything else going on here ME
