EMDR has, to my knowledge, not been proven to work better than regular exposure-related therapies overall, and it's debateable whether the eye-movement part of the therapy has any function what so ever or if it can be credited to the distraction element. In most the studies I've come across...

Seems that even Richard A. Muller couldn't keep bullshitting, even when hired by an oil company to check on it, when he saw the actual numbers.
I instantly loved this word, and I am going to steal it from you, if that is fine?
As for the topic at hand: I dress majorly in black and wear fairly unorthodox clothing. I am opposed to school uniforms due to an inexplicable need to express myself and to stand out from the crowd.
Do I want...
With secular law I mean law as opposed to religious law. Sharia as an example, is not secular law.
I never spoke of punishment. I spoke of consequences. Having things dug up and exposed to the public is a consequence that should be a result of having bigoted practices or behaviours. It doesn't...
Same way we "punish" Catholics and everyone else. News articles and facepalms.
I seriously don't see it getting further than that, but hey, it's something :D
OP: My personal thought - oppose them as you do with any other religion: Expose their bigotry and bullshit wherever it is possible. Just like stuff like when the Clergy have their way with altar boys, Islam ought to face consequences for actions that serve to directly on indirectly break secular...
Re: Islam prefered over the law by Imams in secular countrie
Agreed. It cannot be naturally applied, but I would like for it to be looked into. If anything, showing that this does not occur elsewhere would shoot down some ideas regarding conspiracy theories about "Islam conquering europe"...

Yes, those castraded would. However, she states that all men should be allowed to ejaculate before having their nuts swiftly taken away - as to allow artificual insamination. She also states that some Alphas should retain their balls...
Re: misogyny/misandry/feminism/things that make your brain h
Men can achieve errection even without balls. That's why vasectomies allows you to have "safe sex". Not the exact same thing, granted, but it is possible. The sexual drive however will be greatly reduced, as will our manlyness as...
Re: Islam prefered over the law by Imams in secular countrie
With Islam as a whole, I mean more "Islam as a system". While a clique like this hardly could reflect upon more than a billion other people - what I meant here is that they are working against their own interests in a way, if they...
Re: misogyny/misandry/feminism/things that make your brain h
Well, we're not pagans, and as such this has nothing to do in a modern society. I does not belong here. Basically she's making up a bullshit excuse to go screw anyone in spite of being in a "steady relationship". Her ultimate dream...
Re: misogyny/misandry/feminism/things that make your brain h
She's quite something, isn't she? Read the public, mandatory castration and walking home naked through crowds of cheering women part yet? Or for all that matters, the Beta/Omega VS Alpha male thing? Or wherein she says that a man...
Re: misogyny/misandry/feminism/things that make your brain h
Agreed. Equality is really, by its definition, meeting in the middle. The problem is those who take the word and try to twist it into something it is not. "True Equality" for this woman is public castration of men, as an example...
Re: Islam prefered over the law by Imams in secular countrie
I've been considering something from reading through this post once more. Shouldn't there be some manner of law that should state that authority figures, spiritual or not, shouldn't be allowed to encourage breaking laws? I mean, if I...
Re: misogyny/misandry/feminism/things that make your brain h
Don't know if this woman has been mentioned previously, couldn't find her in the thread, but damn. I hope it is a troll and nothing more.

Re: Islam prefered over the law by Imams in secular countrie
Ouch. It's hard to explain, and perhaps one has to be a citizen here to understand the concept, but we're having people taken to court for wearing the Thor's hammer symbol. We're not allowed to sing the national anthem any more...
