Watched a few documentaries on crowd psychology, and when faced with a dangerous situation, people always tend to do the total opposite of what you'd expect them to do when they're in a crowd.

Jesus, I dunno. The sight of a swinging 20ft screen is enough to send me off running - especially when right under it

I'd like to think I'd do the same, and at the very least get out of harms way.

People doing nothing in groups is called the Bystander Effect. Some of the experiments are fascinating.

"a chemical derived from MDMA ever makes it into patient trials, it almost certainly won’t affect people like ecstasy does."

Boooooo


Where'd the thread name come from?

The story was reported on radio aswell. Unusual hearing ecstacy linked to a good news story.

I hope they're analysing all recreational drugs for their good properties. All you hear in the media in general is the negatives.

Anyone reckon they'll be around in an Ireland where drugs are legal? Weed probably has the best chance.

Unlikely, people have a really ****ed up view of the dangers and damages of various substances and will speak of the evils of weed while happily boozing it up and smoking tobaccy.

Head shops are a prime example of how far away a society with legalized drugs is.

People picketing outside a shop complaining about the evils of legal highs and then they all finish off the night's work by heading into the pub for a belly full of beer on a school night.

They were going on about this on the radio today.

ODDBALL Darryn Lyons showed off the FAKE six pack he paid £6,000 to be sculpted on top of his tubby gut.

Keeeyyyyrist. At least they had the decency to leave a back up "pack" at the bottom of the gut should one of the others go flat.

I have to say, the actual horrors of war are lost in the media frezy these days, this screen shot of Sky news,



The graphic of the plane over the flat complex, its done like a video game & the actual reallity of what occurs when one of those fighter jets swoops over a city is not what is conveyed to the viewer upon seeing it, it really does desensitise people to the reality.

Also the buttons across the bottom of the screen, 'Rebels swipe gaddaffi's hat & cart'!!!!!, What!!!!! proper sunday world journalism there & Sky also being praised at the weekend for making the best reality TV show live braodcast from the 'rebel' convoy.

I read this line posted on another forum, very surreal,

"There is looting going on now at the Gaddafi compound, with pro-rebel tweeters asking people to stop."

I despair for humanity.

That's what happens when you have 24 hour news coverage. News becomes entertainment. Channel 4 News is still very good though.

Sky News is nothing more than tabloid tv. Used to watch it good bit, in that when there was nothing on tv I'd put it on. Can't bare to watch it now. All the cheesy dumbed down tabloid graphics, among other things just grate on me.
