    Forensic Psychology Dissertation Study - Participants Wanted

    I just had a quick look through your survey, that's the incomplete result you just got. I'm too old to respond - responders must be between the ages of 18 and 50. It might also be helpful to mention that you're in England. In one of your questions you refer to a law from 2003, that will be a...

    New to the community and I have a question.

    Hi and welcome to the forum. We have students asking us to fill out surveys quite often and they're welcome to - but there are a few rules around privacy. If your survey requires people to log in in order to participate then it's not anonymous and your link will likely get deleted. That...

    Son gets bullied by two classmates

    You seem to like tarring an entire group with the same brush a lot, and this is going to keep getting you in to trouble with all sorts of people. Perhaps you prefer a simplified view of the world where everyone fits in to the stereotypes you paint, but that is not how the world is. When you...

    Son gets bullied by two classmates

    A very common phrase, used to differentiate between a man and a child.

    You've got it mostly right, except an Arcade is just specialty shops at the higher end of the market where as a shopping centre includes everything from little $2 junk shops and supermarkets to large department stores, banks and restaurants.

    Spy pigeons controlled by neural brain implants

    Unlike the quad rotor design that is available commercially, those little helicopters are almost completely silent in flight and they're very handy in urban warfare.

    The smaller the drone the smaller it's range and flight time, but that doesn't make them useless. Adverts aimed at recruiting for the Australian Defence Forces shows them using these:

    Son gets bullied by two classmates

    I don't know what sort of protected dream world you grew up in. You think being called names is bullying? Bullying is when two kids much older than you pin you to the ground and start burning their initials in to your skin with a magnifying glass. (aged 4) Bullying is when 2 kids hold your...

    Spy pigeons controlled by neural brain implants

    I believe this is why Australia suddenly started selling some of our military technology that had until recently been our most closely guarded secrets. We captured a couple of Russian spies, then all of a sudden we're selling our Over The Horizon Radar to other countries and we're selling our...

    There are methods for completely resetting a human's values and loyalties but this is done purely psychologically and pain and torture form no part of this process. This process was developed in WWII Germany and has been used successfully by several different nations since then with varying...

    Do any of you struggle with self blame? I feel like blaming myself for things that aren't my fault.

    I struggle with the concept of "blame". It's an incredibly useless and usually counterproductive concept that should have no place in our world. If a problem occurs you should be focusing on how to fix that problem and how to prevent it from happening again. Working out who's fault it is serves...

    That's about training animals to carry out certain tasks, not sinking probes in to their brains and controlling them remotely. Russia had a similar program for many decades.

    Spy pigeons controlled by neural brain implants

    I'm saying that it's not happening and that it's simply not possible for that to happen using even the technology that we can currently imagine. The use of AI generated images in that story also doesn't lend it any legitimacy. Aussies are world leaders in this technology and we're only able to...

    Just general retail, lots of little shops. Clothing, cafes, hair dressers, jewellers, etc. Here there was always a high end status associated with arcades and shops in an arcade end to be a little more upmarket than what you'll find in the streets.

    Here Arcades were a very new and modern idea for shopping in the late 1800s. Like an old English High Street but roofed over and protected from the weather. Every major city had at least one, they were the greatest innovation in modern shopping in that era and changed the way in which people...

    Son gets bullied by two classmates

    Childhood memories, I really didn't have much fun as a kid. When it comes to other kids your son is at an extreme disadvantage and kids being kids means he's going to have a miserable time of it no matter how hard you try. The reason: Our brains grow and mature to a different pattern than most...

    Here, that same as in England, a mall is a street that is open to the sky and accessible to only pedestrian traffic. As soon as you put a roof over it it's no longer a mall, it's then an arcade.

    Here they only have a few simple and cheap tools, kitchen drawer type stuff, if you want decent tools then you go to a hardware store or a tools specialist. Our department stores sell homewares, clothing, kid's toys and sporting goods. In Kmart the range is huge and in general the prices are...

    Stimming

    I do this too although I'm not sure it's a stim. I hate it when I start picking at a sharp bit and end up puling a strip of skin off a finger, that hurts. More fun to play with though is my feet. I've spent much of my life walking around barefoot and that skin is so thick and tough that dead...
