Sharp as a Marble - This has to be an intellectual equivalent to a ‘potty joke’

This has to be an intellectual equivalent to a ‘potty joke’

Because to think that someone would actually believe this, especially at that kind of level, is plain scary

Extreme resistance to governmental taxation and authority is derived, according to Freud’s theory of anal characterology, from premature and harshly coercive toilet training, in which a child is forced unfairly and against its will to surrender the products of his eliminations (which represent money, among other things, in the unconscious) to parental authority.

Tell me – what’s the difference between that paragraph and a random one from Time Cube (warning, there appears to be a redirect to porn at this link. I don’t get it because I turn off scripting and ads so be careful if you click it. It’s a page full of crazy which is the point of the link) outside of proper English and the use of a decent font size?

WARNING!!! That Time Cube link redirected me to a porn site!

(That may be the point, but if it is you should put up a NSFW warning for those who have never heard of "Time Cube" before.)

It did?

It works for me just fine - no porn, just some crazy guy rambling about... stuff.

Wow. And I agree that the worst part is that there are otherwise reasonable, intelligent people who believe this crap. I think it has a lot to do with the "Look at that bitch over there eating crackers like she owns the place" thing. They already hate us, so even the most idiotic ideas get a quick sidestep around logic and goes straight to belief.

I would like to say that it doesn't go both ways, but sadly, it probably does, although it might be hard for us to spot (just like this would be hard for them to notice).

This is my work computer (there's a bit of downtime in my job that's inevitable, so wandering the net isn't a big deal), so I was in a bit of a rush to close whatever it sent me to - but there was definite nudity involved.

I do have APB installed, but I have to leave scripting on because some of the sites I need at work require it.

What is it with these Anti-Gunners and Freud? First Penis Size and now Toilet Training? Anyone ever think that Freud is so discredited that he makes Marx look Logical?

Or do they all have a Secret Yearning to Sex with their Daughter, like Freud did with Anna?

So basically the writer is upset that he gets yelled at for smearing crap on the walls of the bathroom.

That explains his writing though.

My fear is that someone got paid to think that up
