What Arch Stanton Approves of....

[Arch Stanton]

Anything that is not fictional - which means the sum total of human knowledge as long as it is not superficial garbage or dumbed down.

I love for example, Panorama, Dispatches on C4, any "fly on the wall" or "whistleblowing" programs.

I love anything to do with behavoural psychology.

I am interested in the fact that the inhabitants of many countries more "primitive" than the UK, are often generally much happier and better behaved than Brits.

The UK is as primitive as it comes in the western world.

"I love anything to do with behavoural psychology."

You should have watched that film tonight "copycat" which is on BBC1 for the umpteenth time.
Sigornia Weaver's psychological profilers blurts out garbage like " audio hallucinations are heard in stereo" . Which of course is nonesense, as they can be heard in one ear or both, also there are external and internal audio hallucinations i.e. voices heard within the head.

[Arch Stanton]

I mean primitive in terms of not having many of the trappings of materialism

[Arch Stanton]

I mean anything to do with behavoural psychology based on scientific fact. Almost everything concerned with Hollywood films (including he way they deal with psychological disorders) is complete bollocks.

I never take life too seriously,than again i don't even take myself too seriously.

I respect all women and accept whatever they want to with their life.

I've absoloutely no time for religion,it is what has divided the world and peoples thoughts about one another.

Last but not least,i'd approve of Chelsea winning everything under the sun.......Now i am taking the piss !grin!

[Arch Stanton]

Religion sucks.

[Mike_CFC]

Fuck me!!!!.We agree on one thing.Kudos to you Mr S !thumbsup! !drink!.

So you think values such as 'Do unto others ..' etc is nonsense ? Human beings arrived at such values without the intervention of organised religion .. it's just pro-social behaviour .. but religion has promoted some positive and inclusive values as well as negative and divisive ones.

Can you really make generalised statements like 'religion sucks' ? Surely a more reasoned view would be 'some aspects of religion suck' ?
