Jessss's Comments

Perhaps we should reconsider our use of the word love. Are filial love and romantic love really two subsets of the same emotion, or are they entirely different emotions? That they use different parts of the brain could suggest this.

I don't mean this to be an anti-religious comment, but what about so-called "Christian love"? - You know how the Bible and Christians often speak about "loving everyone". What exactly are they referring to? I find this particular use of the word love to be too ambiguous or abstract to be meaningful.

As for the speed of falling in love? I tried to look up the meta-analysis the article was discussing by searching for the journal in my university journal database, but unsurprisingly The Journal of Sexual Medicine isn't included. The free abstract of the meta-analysis does not mention anything of the time it takes to fall in love. From what I read in the linked article though, it seems incredibly improbable that fMRIs were conducted on a large enough sample size of people at the exact moment they "fell in love", and that they were able to accurately time the time it took to be "not in love" to "in love".

Yes thanks for that thoughtful insight Matt.

We all know you think psychiatrists are evil racists who still perform lobotomies and that there is no such thing as mental illness. And now you're harping on about your ignorant conspiracy theories in posts that have nothing to do with psychiatry.

Honestly...

I fail to see where vonskippy was 'express[ing] outrage at the fact that the majority of muslims have not properly "intergrated"'.

S/he was merely stating that while extremist Muslims do not represent all Muslims, neither do Muslims who have integrated themselves into Western culture.

You have a point.

Spatial memory is by far the easiest type of memory to demonstrate in animals, with lots of spatial memory mazes being specially developed for rats. The question is whether we can generalise findings of spatial memory to general memory.

I did an experiment myself with rats in mazes, but I was careful to only apply my findings to spatial memory.

I think you mean man hands. Women do have human hands - haha.

I think the dress is designed the way it is to hide all its robot parts.

Agreed with both longbeachdiet and ademan.

Wow, your girlfriends sound like my boyfriend, but I don't resent him for it. He means well. If any "suggestions" he makes bother me, I reason with him instead of letting it boil over, so that it doesn't get out of hand.

$2 for a cup of coffee is expensive?

In Australia, coffees generally cost between $3.50 and $5 (3.60 - US$5.20)...and they pay the "baristas" at least minimal wage, AND they expect tips, when half of them think the only difference between a latte and a cappuccino is that one has sprinkles.

Australia is expensive!
