Presented with this option, said Banaji , most people refuse. In our guts, something seems different about tossing someone in front of the train rather than sending the train at someone -- and neither social psychologists nor neuroscientists nor philosophers know why. Interestingly, if the characters in the dilemma are replaced with chimpanzees, people are unhesitatingly willing to throw the monkey on the track. "When something is different from us, we become utilitarian. But for ourselves, we observe Kantian principles," said Banaji.

POPSIn Defence of Social Workers This blog does not reproduce the whole article, so I implore all followers to go to the original and read the whole piece. If you are from the UK try and get an reaction from your MP. If you have one like mine, because I am not homosexual, a thief, a miscreant and a former regular soldier, you will get no response. But try anyway

POPSAnother Notch For Rightwing Shock Jocks.
A story like this, puzzles me as to why it's legal to spread hate over our airwaves. The rightwing shock jocks, have been doing this for years without remorse or fear of reparation. We all enjoy freedom of speech and would never want to do anything to jeopardize this right, a corner stone of democracy. But when it's used to spread xenophobia, doesn't that strike you as being criminal? It's illegal to shout FIRE in a crowded room, shouldn’t it also be against the law to shout THIS GROUP, RACE, or ETHNICITY IS EVIL. Yet that is exactly what the Limbaughs, Lou Dobbs' and other hate spreaders do when they use media tools to distribute their loathsome rhetoric. It happened in Tenn. when a crazed man went looking for Liberals to KILL because a radio jock said liberals were ruining America. When will the time come, to say enough hate, it's time for healing? As long as rumor brutes can sputter their revulsion behind the safety of a microphone, it will never end and some innocent will suffer.

She has hired attorney Michael Dowd who will be representing her in her trial scheduled for sometime in the spring.

POPSRubin: My Friend, the "Neo-Nazi" I could say, I know him, he has been a guest in my home in New York and in my rented house in Provence, he bears absolutely no resemblance to the image these despicable people are trying to project of him, and lot's more. I could point out that I am Jewish and have VISIBLE JEWISH ARTIFACTS IN MY HOME, which did not appear to alarm Rashid, if he even noticed them, but it is all just so ridiculous I don't know what to say.

POPSAnd Now - Make Orgasms Fast Spam!
In case you were worried about the fate of all the good, "family friendly" people spamming you with offers for subprime "christian" mortgages, "christian" work from home "opportunities" and "christian" dietary supplements. In these hard economic times, they have learned that if sex sells, the fear of inadequacy causing you losing your partner to some better-hung liberal porn watching pervert with mad skills in the sack will sell even better. There's only one thing missing in this letter to make it absolute, unintentional comic genius: a picture of Willie Horton beside these paragraphs: " In fact, my wife had never had an orgasm during intercourse. Although, she was always "willing" to participate, I couldn't shake the feeling that she was only doing it for me - she was not truly that interested in sex. This caused me no end of frustration, disappointment and lack of self esteem. When you are a husband, it really hurts when you feel that you can't sexually satisfy your wi

POPSWoman Calls a Spade a Spade, er.... a Muslim a Muslim Muslim groups protested her statement, calling it hateful racism. Where these groups protesting with their fellow muslims hacked off several heads of innocent victims on video? Nope. Listen. When a person adopts the muslim faith and prays in the mosque, they are muslim for life. Some may change their religion, but in the eyes of fellow muslims, they remain muslim. The fact is Obama was once a muslim in Indonesia. The fact that he joins a black America-hating congregation that purports to be Christian doesn't make him one. This woman is correct. Obama is a muslim socialist. And muslims are our enemies.

POPSIs Your Prawn Cocktail Toxic? But boycotting farmed prawns won't hurt the real villains in all this. As in any tale of shipping foods of the poor world to the rich in bulk, it is big corporations, processors and retailers which make the bulk of profits, and they should therefore take responsibility.
