schlack, that was both well timed, and timed well.

I wonder. What sort of studies have been done, if any, to determine WHY certain adults act in this fashion? this would probably join the growing list of studies we can't touch.
In the 1970s and the early 90s, medical research proved that marijuana stopped or slowed the progression of several cancers, including typically fatal lung cancer.
In the 1930s, 50s and 70s, research suggested a connection between the incidence of mental illness and the strength of self-reported belief in a particular religious deity.
the possibility of those issues being studied today, without a radical change in leadership, are nil. The same goes towards determining the cause of predatory sexual behavior. Even though we could probably determine cause, effect, potential treatment, or at least prevention of future wrongdoing, we won't see real research this year.
just on this point and the incapability of a proper public discussion on the matter, our efforts here nothwithstanding.
an english comedian during the 90s had a show called "Brass Eye". it was a fake news show, much more hard hitting than Daily show etc. one programme was based on media sensationalism of paedophiles. he was making mockery of the sensationalism, and the vulturism of the media, and how it played on peoples fears, blowing everyhting out of all proportion.
can you guess how the media reacted - he was eviscerated and the show taken off air. i did see it before and im sure its available through the magic of goodle. it was quite funny and quite pointed.
