Yeah, Robert Mc Namara was president of the Ford Motor Company before Kennedy asked him to be Sec. of Defense. He served under Johnson too.

I may have already asked this but how come Knife Nut s are always creepy sadistic psychos?

I think you have. Or someone else did.

My response was basically “because having a strong urge to stab something is generally considered a bit off in polite society.”

Yeah, they also are sometimes obviously evil.

Y'know who's Obviously Evil? Loghain from Dragon Age. I took one look at him and knew he would betray me.

No character can be as obviously evil as Paul Warner from Phantasmagoria 2.

I'd like a description of him.

Then there is also the doctor from the Human centipede, Vamp from MGS 4 and Judge Doom.

It doesn't really look evil, but his behaviour is so overtly suspicious.

Vampire's Kiss is a 1989 American dark comedy/psychological horror film.

So it was meant to be funny? If you say so.

Roy Waller (Nicolas Cage) is a con artist residing in Los Angeles. Alongside his partner and protégé Frank Mercer (Sam Rockwell), Roy operates a fake lottery, selling overpriced water filtration systems to unsuspecting customers; in the process, Roy has collected over one million dollars. Roy suffers from several mental disorders, including agoraphobia, mysophobia, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and a tic disorder- he yells "Pygmies" whenever something surprises or upsets him.

How the hell does someone become a successful con artist when they exhibit such erratic behaviour?

People tend to assume that craziness and tics = idiot.

when William Hogarth first saw [Samuel] Johnson standing near a window in Samuel Richardson's house, "shaking his head and rolling himself about in a strange ridiculous manner", Hogarth thought Johnson an "ideot, whom his relations had put under the care of Mr. Richardson". Hogarth was quite surprised when "this figure stalked forwards to where he and Mr. Richardson were sitting and all at once took up the argument ... [with] such a power of eloquence, that Hogarth looked at him with astonishment, and actually imagined that this ideot had been at the moment inspired".

Personally, my reaction to someone who yelled "Pygmies!" at apparently random intervals would not be "invest in his financial schemes", but maybe that's just me.

Hoffer argues that all mass movements such as fascism, communism, and religion spread by promising a glorious future. To be successful, these mass movements need the adherents to be willing to sacrifice themselves and others for the future goals. To do so, mass movements often glorify the past and devalue the present. Mass movements appeal to frustrated people who are dissatisfied with their current state, but are capable of a strong belief in the future. As well, mass movements appeal to people who want to escape a flawed self by creating an imaginary self and joining a collective whole. Some categories of people who may be attracted to mass movements include poor people, misfits, and people who feel thwarted in their endeavors. Hoffer quotes extensively from leaders of the Nazi and communist parties in the early part of the 20th Century, to demonstrate, among other things, that they were competing for adherents from the same pool of people predisposed to support mass movements. Despite the two parties' fierce antagonism, they were more likely to gain recruits from their opposing party than from moderates with no affiliation to either.

I think I need to read this book.

Which book, The True Believer? Same.

The impotent man says: "That which has come to my share is mine." And the weak man assents. But the lesson of the whole world is: "That is really mine which I can snatch away." My country does not become mine simply because it is the country of my birth. It becomes mine on the day when I am able to win it by force.

Every man has a natural right to possess, and therefore greed is natural. It is not in the wisdom of nature that we should be content to be deprived. What my mind covets, my surroundings must supply. This is the only true understanding between our inner and outer nature in this world. Let moral ideals remain merely for those poor anaemic creatures of starved desire whose grasp is weak. Those who can desire with all their soul and enjoy with all their heart, those who have no hesitation or scruple, it is they who are the anointed of Providence. Nature spreads out her riches and loveliest treasures for their benefit. They swim across streams, leap over walls, kick open doors, to help themselves to whatever is worth taking. In such a getting one can rejoice; such wresting as this gives value to the thing taken.

So this is a Nietzsche Wannabe!

Yes, The True Believer. I'm fascinated in particular by doomsday cults. They have such a bizarre and alien mindset.

Parallel dimensions exist every time we make a decision - it creates a parallel where we make a different decision - like was said in Doctor Who.

Now, whole new dimensions are born this way - someone, like an author, comes up with a creative idea. Thus, a dimension is immediately made. (And I don't think it's limited to humans, I'm the kind of person who believes every living thing has a soul, so a cat or a tree could do the same thing.)

Thus, that means that there is a dimension where Harry Potter is real. There is one where Doctor Who is real. There are dimensions where each Disney film has actually happened.

(...)

I do think, that when we imagine, our brains open a kind of gateway which allow our souls to "see" into these other worlds, some of our own creation and some not, and some which are both the work of someone else and us combined! (Like a Harry Potter fanfic with your OCs) Dreams are a way for souls to travel to other dimensions without causing death, because the brain, as long as it's alive, keeps the soul connected so it can come back when we wake up.

...alrighty then
