"I realize that activists in progressive political and religious movements tend to believe there are no evil souls. My own personal belief is that the eternal essence of a person is the purest energy. However, the widespread mental and emotional failure of our population to recognize the reality and the dynamics of human beings who choose to be evil is, in my opinion, exactly how evil is prevailing so disastrously. This failure to understand and recognize the evil-doers right in our midst allows them to run ra..."

"At one point or another, most of us have probably heard someone talk about how their kids are addicted to video games. The concern is understandable: a lot of parents don't have a background with video games, and seeing their kids so obsessed with something they're not familiar with can be worrying. In some cases, parents are worrying over nothing, but in other instances, their concerns are well-founded. Of course, the solution can be as simple as just taking away a kid's TV and games privileges, but what do you do..."

"People and the news media endlessly discuss the merits and demerits of those who are in high places and how they are performing in their jobs. It seems to me that not much emphasis has been placed on one very important factor: voters know too little about the character of the people they are helping to put into power. Incredibly, some have voted for candidates on the basis of, "he is one of those people I would enjoy having a beer with." Other reasons given have been even sillier and less relevant. This can be disa..."

"In this discussion I shall define autism spectrum disorders as a group of disorders of higher cortical function ranging from attention deficit disorder to full blown autism itself. Despite divisions into numerous individually named disorders, Asperger’s, high autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, etc, many feel that they represent a spectrum of related cognitive disorders. I do this recognizing that clinically, several may have characteristics that make them significantly different from the other..."

"At first glance, Einstein, Salvador Dali, Tony Hancock, and Beach Boy Brian Wilson would seem to have little in common. Their areas of physics, modern art, comedy, and rock music, are light years apart. So what, if anything, could possibly link minds that gave the world the theory of relativity, great surreal art, iconic comedy, and songs about surfing? According to new research, psychosis could be the answer. Creative minds in all kinds of areas, from science to poetry, and mathematics to humour, may have trait..."

"Nearly one in 10 American children who play computer games are pathologically addicted, according to new research. Some young gamers show at least six symptoms of gambling addiction, such as lying to family and friends about how much they play games, using the games to escape their problems and becoming restless or irritable when they stop playing. They may also skip homework to play games or spend too much time playing and do poorly in school, the study shows. Douglas Gentile, director of the National Instit..."

"A puff a day might keep Alzheimer's away, according to marijuana research by professor Gary Wenk and associate professor Yannic Marchalant of the Ohio State Department of Psychology. Wenk's studies show that a low dosage in the morning of a certain cannabinoid, a component in marijuana, reversed memory loss in older rats' brains. In his study, an experimental group of old rats received a dosage, and a control group of rats did not. The old rats that received the drugs performed better on memory tests, and the dr..."
