Anyway, in citing the literature's criticism of Freud vs. cocaine, it is not necessary to mention individual experts, especially when the most relevant writings are in German -- for an interesting summary, see http://www.sgipt.org/th_schul/pa/gesch/kokain.htm &&&& When you claim to have cited experts, then do so at the time of the claim. My remark to you pertained to your inability to explain why you professed that Freud's theories on the subconscious were not a significant contribution to psychology. Citing outside opinions should be accompanied by same if it's all you've got to go on, apart from emotion.&&&& > but leave that for when, if ever, you decide to pursue psychology at > least at the level of dilettente$$$$$ I'd suggest you learn to spell dilettante before emitting further dilettantish (or Freudian) psycho-babble -- and no, I have NOT "often declared that psychology is psycho babble", but your school of psychology is. &&&&&& I concede. I mis-spelled a word. At least I know the meaning of it. &&&&&& You have often declared that psychology is psycho-babble. The last time was when you used it to debunk the "all-or-none" syndrome. The terminology has nothing to do with "my" school of psychology, for I have not devised one, and Freud, who you seem to consider my authority, has but some basic theories that hold water with me. And all-or-none is not from Freud either. My books are packed, so I can't cite the author. &&&&&& From someone who even advised friends into death from drugs, and who continued heavy smoking even after having his jaw removed due to cancer, you really can't expect any sane position on drugs, illegal or not. &&&&&& Perhaps if you rewrote the above it would not be up to interpretation. Are you saying that it is unlikely to expect a sane position from you on drugs because you partook in them to your detriment, and advised to the detriment of others their use of them? Or are you talking about another friend? &&&&& Consistently, you have no solution whatsoever to offer, only aggravation (also literally). A waste of time. &&&&&&You are the one who is supposed to have answers you haven't yet shared.Nor do you ever respond to my very relevant questions. &&&&&& Debating is a waste of time, but exchange never is. I am not the one who claimed to have sweeping solutions for the world addiction issues, apart from addressing the root cause of violence/depression/oppression. I made the suggestion that keeping pot smokers out of jails would leave room for hard criminals such as murderers, rapists and abusers. These regularly released repeat offenders cost the system and society far more than any pot smoking kid. But media and politics have rather forgotten about these chiefly because of US government war on drugs, which may also support the projection theory: they try to round up pot smokers and growers because they are financing their secretive little war departments by its illegal sales themselves. If I'm wrong on that one, I'll be very surprised given that it is on record that the CIA escorted drug-laden boats into New York City harbour. Given that somehow these top secret departments are miraculously being financed to the tune ! of trillions of dollars, and given that the US Army can misplace 3.3 trillion dollars without an investigation, you can be sure that their funds are illegal as hell. &&&&&& &&&&&Natalia&&&& Just saying no, Chris ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SpamWall: Mail to this addy is deleted unread unless it contains the keyword "igve". _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [email protected] http://fes.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [email protected] http://fes.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework
