The psychology of evil, Philip Zimbardo
Zimbardo is the philosopher behind the Stanford Prison Experiment. He has devoted his life to examining how administrations and power and rules can make good people commit evil acts.
This is the man who understands the 20th century better than any of us.
This bastard tells it like it is, and I like that.
Seriously, though, Prairie dog. You are really fat. This makes it very difficult for me, because the fact that your feet aren't touching the ground and your arms are kind of hanging down on your fat folds is fucking cute as shit. Am I supposed to feel bad for you? Is this what you wanted, Prairie dog? Damn you and your scheming ways.

Views from the Raven's Nest | Not Really Heads or Tails Tuesday

I do not hate Noah.
But the creepy guy who lives next to the movie theater does.
I did not know if this person was being an ass or is simply that daft. I replied to them as I would anyone, No. I was NICE about it, because I couldn't figure out what the hell this person was doing.... Normally I would scowl someone for being off topic and mentioning something obviously personal and irrelevant in the context an interesting discussion of a thread. This person has always blind-sided me with their idea of "on topic" and continue to do so...
It occurs to me that this person does not realized I'm the same person they are accusing of victimizing them. I find them both amusing and hate them entirely. I think my hatred over writes my amusements, but it's hard to say. I can't believe this person would be so daft as to directly reply to my post and whine about me to myself.
A Course in Miracles Discourses | How Obama or McCain Could Solve High Gasoline Prices
Both major party presidential candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain point to high gasoline prices and say, "Let's punish oil companies by stealing some of their profits."
So much for common sense. Oil companies have to make a good percentage of profit in order to afford new drilling or new refining capacity so as to create more supply. Without increased supply, demand will drive prices higher than ever. But then nobody ever accused politicians of exhibiting common sense, wouldn't you say?...
Profits are a measure of efficiency and wise decisions. Since government does not use profit as a measure, governments have no way of gauging their own efficiency or the wisdom of their own decisions ... and of course most departments of most governments become notoriously inefficient. This reason alone is enough to justify extremely limited (libertarian) government.
Nonetheless politicians and bureaucrats, to live with themselves psychologically, have to justify in their minds what they are doing. Otherwise most of them would feel so much inner conflict they would quit politics or government service altogether. Therefore, government worshippers tend to develop a subconscious hatred for profits.
"Oh, don't get us wrong. We don't hate profits. We just hate obscene profits!"
Who are they kidding? There are no such things as obscene wise decisions or obscene efficiencies. They hate because they are afraid of efficiency and wise decisions ... two realms they are not accustomed to.
I've not been online for quite some time , and now here I am. Facing the computer screen basically ruining my eyesight , listening to more trashy music bahh , well metaphorically i guess. Feeling nauseous , dysfunctional and hatred after the long ride to kl and back here , I was screaming my lungs out in the car at my extraterrestrial , emotional "scene" brother about the stupid fucking radio , numskull.
Long story short , I went to Parade with my mum since I had nothing to do beside rotting at home in the afternoon. When she was off to gym , carried my lazy-ass tooshie up to the book cafe and started sketching stuffs. After an disenchantment hour , drawing an human eye was that difficult after all, whoopee.
Lobe's Links | Reclaiming the Power of Hate
Considering that the American public had first become aware of the Japanese war machine through that treacherous and unprovoked sneak attack on an American Naval Base, during a time of peace, while the Japanese ambassadors were at that very moment meeting their American counterparts at the State Department, the Japanese people quickly became something else; they became Japs. A brutal and inferior race of savages to be distrusted and despised. A race, in short, to be hated.
And hate them we did. We hated them openly, willingly and without reservation. And we didn't just hate their leaders or their armies and their navies, we hated THEM, the Japs themselves, the bloodthirsty, sadistic little squinty-eyed monkeys. We matched their racial hatred of us with our racial hatred of them. No caricature, no obscenity, no epithet could be too vile to describe a Jap. If you were a patriotic American, be you man, woman or child, you automatically hated the Japs. It quickly became a necessary adjunct to our national persona, second nature, like loving your mother and apple pie. It was not only that it was O.K. to hate the Japs, it was considered your sacred duty. And the more fervently you expressed this hate, the more patriotic you became, and the more patriotic you became, the stronger America became.
It was as clear as crystal.
And our hate was essential to the cause, we could not have won the war without it.
Iris Robinson, considered Northern Ireland’s first lady as the wife of First Minister Peter Robinson, has been accused of “hate crimes” and is facing both a police investigation and the possibility of a civil complaint, according to reports.
A report in An Phoblacht, an online political weekly in Ireland, said Robinson had been invited onto the BBC Radio Ulster’s “The Stephen Nolan Show” to talk about a recent physical assault on a homosexual by a team of thugs described by the reporter as “gay-bashing.”
She condemned the violence, then described homosexuality as “disgusting, nauseous, shamefully wicked and vile,” and said, “It’s an abomination.”

A Mind of Our Own | Hate Sites
According to Jeffery Long (Unruh 2007), the internet, which we use a tool of communication and knowledge has frequently being abuse and has become a vehicle of the worst human impulses, as reflected in the websites devoted to fomenting hatred and violence against a particular religion or ethnic groups. BBC news (2004) has also stated that net is being used by racist and extremist groups trying to recruit new members and spread their message. Hindu American Community had filed a report against Christian hate site which force its ministry at teaching Christians. This is ethically wrong because everyone has the right to choose their own beliefs
Hate Sites are morally and ethically wrong because the effects and message that they are sending to the people are not positive.
What can we do to prevent Hate Sites from spreading?
Computer are changing the way human makes decisions therefore we must decide when to trust computer and when not to trust them (Edgar 2003, pp. 1-8) because some of the information provided by the hate sites are not reliable.

Things are different here. The magazine is on trial.
Two members of the Canadian Islamic Congress say the magazine, Maclean’s, Canada’s leading newsweekly, violated a provincial hate speech law by stirring up hatred against Muslims. They say the magazine should be forbidden from saying similar things, forced to publish a rebuttal and made to compensate Muslims for injuring their “dignity, feelings and self-respect.”
The British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal, which held five days of hearings on those questions here last week, will soon rule on whether Maclean’s violated the law.
