Yes, because human psychology, ie, figuring out why we do what we do and how our brains work isn't of value at all, but figuring out the meaning of the sounds crickets make is imperative.


Ugh, before you get into that argument can we just be clear that any significant research on human psychology is unlikely to be coming out of a tin pot university like UCLAN. Plus as I said the overall point of that research was dumb as it doesn't take a scientist to work out that not all small men have an inferiority complex and the idea that they do is a stereotype.


Yes, but I'm not talking about UCLAN, I'm talking about psychology as a science, as Asherian doesn't seem to understand its importance.

Half? 52%, IIRC.

If you actually took that as some sort of actual insult against women, I apologize. It should have been taken as a mere summary of things which I found funny and amusing (but with a grain of truth). I apologize.

That said, if I were to pee in your toilet without raising the seat, I suspect you're react negatively to that, too.

I don't think it's doing it as much as leaving it there afterwards.

When I come to take a number 2 and I have to put the seat down, it's an extra second or two that I could've spent mentally preparing myself for the feeling of warm arse hitting cold toilet seat!

Who unfortunately tend to be in the minority. Or at least their voice seems so small compared to the others; because the media care more about reporting Profesor Nutcase's study on 'how to make the best tasting sandwich' than they do about covering anything of actual substance, in more than a paragraph on the bottom of page 33.


The reason for that is that these silly-season stories are promoted by PR companies working on behalf of various companies that want a certain story promoted. The scientist is either funded by the company or is merely pleased to have their name promoted for free. But there's a commercial interest somewhere. Actual science goes largely unreported or is presented in a very crude form or worse still whole pieces of work are fished through for certain minor points which are then given excessive attention for the sake of a political point. This is especially the problem with things like GM and climate change.

That depends on whether or not you're able to aim properly while standing up.

One thing I don't understand is why men think feminist is an insult...

Feminism = equality between genders, and in order for it to be equal it must apply to both genders, both male and female liberation. That is to say, for example, the law should support the rights of both husband and wife equally in a divorce battle, or both father and mother in a custody battle. "Metrosexuals" IE, somewhat feminine but still straight males, shouldn't be mocked for their behavior, but neither should butch women.

There are femenists, then there are femenists.

The more extreme ones, the ones who will berrate a guy for holding the door open for them or asking if they need help carrying anything (even if they would've done so regardless of gender); the ones that will take common courtesy as sexism; are the ones that really boil my blood.

If you're all for equality, fine by me, but there are some that take this 'equality' too far.

If you don't bother to aim at all, then I suppose you have no right to complain about me bitching you out for getting the toilet so messy

So what, it's too much trouble to aim? Is it too tiny or something?

In this age of equality is it to much to expect a female to be able to understand that the seat goes in both directions?

If we're in a passive-aggressive "battle" over the toilet seat, yes, it's much too much trouble to aim.

Never had any complaints, but maybe you need more than a beer can to be happy?
