Mencken Man to the rescue

Dear fellow classmates,
I am losing participation points because I can't figure out how to respond to shit posts like this 4 times a week:

This is very true that we have to have some sort of a starting point. I mean if we didn't have those that gave us what we have based all our therories on we would not have come as far as we have in the study of psychology.

We do have to have a a base point and it was a shame that some of it has been by trial and error at the expense of others. But even today we have those that are willing to be in study groups to help find answers to medical trials and to me these are the true pioneers that have paved the way for all of use to lean from.

because with out those willing to put their lives in test groups we would have to rely on what we find out using animal tests and some of those can not be true because all animals are the same make up as a human.

Sincerely, fuck you.

Note to all my fellow students, I'm tired of reading your juvenile posts and assignments. If you want to write like a 12-year-old girl texting her BFF's about how dreamy Edward is, that's fine, in your personal life. If you choose to do so in your academic work, then don't expect anyone to respect your answers. While you're at it, try also not copy/pasting from Yahoo answers or wikipedia, answer in COMPLETE sentences, answer the question, don't write 200 words about how your dog helped you discover your love of psychology.

Here's some excerpts of some of my favorites from this week.

Question: Think of as many major philosophers in the western tradition that were primary contributors to the formation of psychology as a formal discipline. From the list please choose a favorite. Discuss why he/she is your favorite!

Answer 1: I think that Ivan pavlov is very interesting, him and his experaments that he was doing to discover the digestive system and how it works and this helped him to discover much more.
Ivan Pavlov worked to unveil the secrets of the digestive system, he also studied what signals triggered related phenomena, such as the secretion of saliva. When a dog encounters food, saliva starts to pour from the salivary glands located in the back of its oral cavity. This saliva is needed in order to make the food easier to swallow. The fluid also contains enzymes that break down certain compounds in the food. In humans, for example, saliva contains the enzyme amylase, an effective processor of starch.

Answer 2: One of my favorite philosophers is Charles Darwin he strongly influenced our knowledge of life on Earth. His theory of evolution by natural selection explained where the diverse kinds of living things from and how they adapted to their environment. His theory was simple life on earth is the result of billions of years of adaptations to changing environments. This of course went again everything the church in the western world taught and his theory was and still is very controversial. His works influenced not only psychology but many other sciences such as zoology and anthropology. His way of thinking of evolution was the only theory that actually provided and scientific explanation of the human life.

There have been some decent answers, and I'm not saying mine are perfect, hardly, but I at least give a shit about sounding like a total retard.
