pleasant movie indeed, I started out prejudiced but it turned out to be more than decent

it's not a bad album, quite the opposite; it's almost an exploit considering the poor image and evolution of the band.

I appreciated Wright's efforts as long as he focused on giving us management of cities and metropolises with Sim City... the voyeuristic, "reality-like" turn did not please me, but it was a market hit. I believe that by summing up all the expansions and various versions of the game, it is the most lucrative brand of the last 20 years... something that could not escape the sharks at EA. Ah, the developer is Maxis, EA is the publisher, and that also speaks volumes about the squeezing of the brand.

hmmm, last visit to the musée d'Orsay in 2003, I'm a bit in a jam. Like the first comment, good the first time.

The review isn't bad; I think it's normal that it comes off as cold—there are certain things you can't get past...

I'm talking about schools of thought from a clinical perspective, you know, the ones that have entrenched themselves in writings from 80-90 years ago and have closed themselves off in their psychoanalytic fortresses... you can't shake them from thinking that homosexuality is a form of deviance, and Freud's ideas were not necessarily those of his followers (indeed, Jung especially, is a different story altogether). Anyway, as I said, I am the last fan of dynamic psychology; if Axel ever studied anything, he studied the history of psychology and took for granted that little he read of psychoanalytic thought. Try explaining to him that it's just a fraction of psychology, and that today most of those writings are no longer shareable. We recognize the merits of having laid many foundations for Freud & company, but a good 70% of what they said has been dismantled and downscaled. Insisting on certain positions is like continuing to say that the sun revolves around the Earth and not vice versa. Today's psychology is different from what was being said in the 1920s-30s.

Anyway, it’s sad to read about people who still consider homosexuality a disease these days. Unless you come from Freudian, Adlerian, or Jungian schools (I imagine a lot of people here on Deb xD), you have no valid motivation for your positions. And if you eat bread and psychoanalysis, you are still behind the times.

"I don't believe in coincidences; I think you asked a question that's easy to throw shade at. Anyway, I currently work as a craftsman on construction sites (I dropped out of school because I'm short on cash and I'm not exactly a great student, let's be honest). So how can you think that after all these years I remember where I read and/or heard that information? Do you really think I imagined I would engage in such a pointless discussion years later? Anyway, frankly, I don’t believe it, s4doll, and there’s no way in hell that you study psychology; otherwise, you'd agree with me since those are concepts that are learned at the beginning of studies." Oh, what a beauty... You see, it really gets on my nerves when I read people like you. It gets on my nerves because some jerk like you can come here and say, "I studied psychology," and immediately be taken at face value. And then you have dozens of people saying, "psychology is nonsense, psychology is crap," etc... Even if maybe it's just a pathetic idiot like you. You see, I am a real psychologist; I’m in graduate school, and it annoys me that any fool who quotes "authors" like Povia is taken seriously. Look, I have a cognitive approach (and since you've studied, you surely know what that means) and I don’t really get along with dynamic analysts (and you probably know why), but as much as there were some ridiculous things in psychoanalysis and elsewhere in the last century, I can't recall a single credible psychologist who has said the stuff you've thrown out there. For the record, a century ago even falling in love was classified as a mental illness. Sexual orientations have long been discussed and, just like IQ, they're grouped into two shared theories: one states that we are all born bisexual and the path taken depends on upbringing and social conventions, while the other claims that genetics has the final say in these preferences. We don't give much credibility to those who say someone becomes gay after a trauma or shock. Go back to the shipyards, and take your friend Ezekiel with you."

"I studied it in psychology" coincidence, I also study psych. Outside the author's name and reference book.

"A person is not born gay but becomes so after a shock, and the right thing is to help this person overcome this problem" can you link me the source of this pearl of wisdom? xD
