Faust posted:Because marriage is a divine union, or something. Matthew 19:3-9, NIV posted:3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?” Matthew 19 is pretty great overall Matthew 19:16-19, NIV posted:16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”

The King of the Hill episode 'Lost in MySpace' - TPCers should watch this. Season 13 on Netflix. It's interesting to see MurdochMedia building the 'violent flashmob' meme.

Is there a psychological principle that's like the Dunning-Kruger effect, except referring to intellect/education rather than competence/skill? Basically people being so ignorant, they don't even understand the topic well enough to know they're missing information, and then refusing to learn more about it to lessen their ignorance.

There's a branch of psychology called positive psych that studies people's happiness with ignorance. Overall, the finding is that a majority of people are comfortable with ignorance on demanding subjects. There's no name for it that I'm aware of. I googled a bit but can't find an exact name for those types of studies.

Idiot works rather well. It comes from the Latin Idiota which means ignorant and/or uneducated.

thehumandignity posted:I don't know how a person takes a quote from the Bible, a part of a parable whose message ultimately is "them that take the sword shall die by the sword", removes that quote from its context to deliberately make it seem like Jesus is advocating the opposite of what it turned out he was actually saying in that situation, and doesn't think, "Man, I really am kind of a dick." It's said that the devil can quote scripture. These people serve the Father of Lies, and there's a place reserved for them on the sultry side of Hell.

I'm always interested in film - particularly horror film - that tries or unintentionally winds up giving some commentary about the political climate of the time. For example, Texas Chainsaw Massacre making unintentional commentary about the massive unemployment, the gas shortages, and the vietnam war violence. Then fast forward to the Reagan era with stuff like Nightmare on Elm Street - where a community of adults creating problems that their children then have to suffer the consequences of. (Wes Craven himself pointed this out.) Then there's stuff like the Saw and Hostel series in the 2000's which were all 'inspired' by the torture that the US was guilty of at the time. For myself when I look at Tea Partiers, I feel like there's some kind of vampire-cult movie to be made in all that, with a bunch of elderly people devouring the young while hypocritically insisting that they have every right to leech off the younger generation or something. Anyway - if anyone could point out any recent horror films (or books) that draw good allegory or metaphor to the Tea Party mentality, I'm eager to hear.

Timecrimes is a movie about a middle aged man that goes back in time one hour. He suffers the consequences of using new technology and listening to a young scientist, and then has to sabotage his past self's attempts to fix his time travel gently caress ups. It reminds me of these Tea Partiers playing with the idea of a social network, but ironically they just want to revert back to an older, simpler time.

It reminds me of how marxists thought Citizen Kane was a marxist movie while capitalists though Citizen Kane was a capitalist movie. A cretin and a sycophant of any stripe will twist the world and art they see in it to fit their narrow image of it.

There's an older horror movie (80's I think) who's plot is something like an oligarchic circle of people are actually aliens that periodically go into some sort of blob-mode in order to devour unwitting youths in order to maintain their life and hold on the town in which they live. Can't remember what it's called unfortunately.

But that would be changing the way things are to the way things will be later! CHANGE IS BAD! RESIST! RESIST! This is all that runs through my head when I envision the response to your statement. That and I have an incredibly hard time envisioning them allowing for anything more than "a woman has a right to bear children" and not much else. After all, women already have rights! The right to choose which dress to wear, the right to put on makeup and the right to run her kitchen however she sees fit and the right to wander off when her husband watches sports and she doesn't want to! Jesus typing that, even with the sarcasm makes me feel
