The stunning work of B.F. Skinner and other behavior modification experts has been forgotten. It would be a relatively simple matter to identify criminal traits and behaviors as early as childhood and treat these unfortunates scientifically so they would never pose a threat to society. BUT those pesky civil liberty types would fight it to the bitter end. We could virtually eliminate prisons with this science and everyone would be safe.

For good reason. Skinnerian training of rats and chickens doesn’t translate well to human beings.

Back in the day when I tried helping people for a living, B. F. Skinner was one of my study books. His reality therapy theory seemed like the clear deal. Then I learned you cannot fix lemons, be they machines or people. Another thing I learned is that given the chance, most people will gladly let you be responsible for their messed up lives. In retrospect, I help far more people now, by fixing roads, than I ever did in the drug and alcohol racket. Reality therapy works great for responsible people, but then, they hardly need help in the first place.

I’m sure if someone gave Nazional Sozialist an electric shock each time he posted drivel, we might be able to “condition” him not to post them, or perhaps not to post anything at all out of fear of being shocked, but that is a far cry from helping him to understanding why it is drivel and redirecting his thoughts to more constructive ones.

First: What is the name of this site…“Say What I Want You To Say” ????

Second: Take a stroll through Harlem or Watts at midnight; then tell me race doesn’t matter. Or do you believe they have been treated so poorly in America that they just had to bash your skull open and rape your women?

No. You’re free to say anything (within legal limits). Just as we are free to mock your stupid ideas!

Race doesn’t matter. But your mind is so closed I doubt you’d listen to any empirical facts.

Your choice of screen name says a lot about you. None of it good.
