And people wonder how we could have prisoner abuse.

Milgram got in a bit of trouble for that experiment because:

a) he proved something people that didn't want to think about

b) some of his subjects were very disturbed by what they did in his experiment.

When I was in college I watched a video of another Milgram experiment, where he set out to explain the Kitty Genovese incident, in which a woman was stabbed and noone helped. Milgram and others theorized that in larger groups, many people find it hard to initiate any action, figuring that 'someone else' will do it.

Hahaha...apparently turban ratings only range from OK to Super. I had no option to pick "well that just looks stupid."

I don't believe test #5,#2 or #1

I have known about all these experiments before from reliable sources. But once we know what our natural reactions are we can use our high brain to do something about it.

Apparently, Facebook is being a little bitch and trying not to catch the evil eye from Iran's government by attempting to squash the account of a vocal protester within the country: http://coedmagazine.com/2009/06/23/i...en-revolution/

Can't wait to play with this more! Hmmm... it doesn't seem to know The Glass Bead Game by Herman Hesse. Not as "Magister Ludi" either.

It might not hurt, but I was more referring to our conciseness.

www.bookarmy.com is another site that serves the same purpose. you make a proflie, kind of like last.fm actually, and then rate books you're read and it gives you recommendations.
