    Alleya, i got a better idea. Go and present a real mental disorder, but have a person be your compatriot for the experiment and disseminate the information that your mental disorder is made up and is meant to fool the class. Have compatriot observe results during the presentation and after when the class is told to ask questions about the disorder.

    It would work for laymen I guess if you used an obscure disorder, but there's usually at least 1 or 2 smart people in the class who will know that it's a real disorder.

    here's a new idea. get a bunch of undergrads to play out a prison guard and inmate situation in the basement of your school and give them full control and then when they ask what the point of it is just say you are a masochist and get off to that kind of thing

    Yea, and if they're smart, they most likely will not keep their traps shut unless they're very smart, in which case they'll realize what you're doing and not say anything.

    I guess that's a good point.

    But then you have people like me who are smart and also assholes who will spoil everything.

    Man, you need to go to a concentration camp because your lack of concentration is making you hit the close button.

    Your causal statement is unconvincing. It could be that an external factor is interfering and thus making it seem that MODS= FAGS

    if you're not showing the graphs to imply that the correlation is a result of causation, what is your point?

    I realize the underlying error of my assumption that MODS are = to FAGS, such a statement ascribing an intrinsic qualities to an individual where external factors may possibly be at play.

    Nonetheless, mods are by nature equal to homosexuals. I can prove this because Darwin.

    Exactly. Everyone's intuition informs them of this exact thing, so no need to beat around the bush or continue with pleasant formalities such as "correlation does not mean causation", because, really, come on?

    No, wait. I was copy pasting a Plow post. You weren't supposed to take it seriously.
