Neocons: Milgram Redux

This pretty much explains why neocons here continue to put President over Country.

I remember reading that study in college. I always thought it explained why all the Democrats are still saying what a great guy Bill C is despite the fact that he was disbarred for the stuff that got him impeached and is clearly more interested in his personal agenda than the well being of my country.

But seriously, that is sort of a silly comparison.

The term neocon is only used by idiots.

It's a Libonics term.

The most amazing thing to note from this follow-up experiment is that 32% of the subjects in the proximity-touch condition held the hand of the learner on the shock plate while administering shocks in excess of 400 volts! Further experiments showed that teachers were less obedient when the experimenter communicated with them via the telephone versus in person, and males were just as likely to be obedient as females, although females tended to be more nervous.

Milgram's obedience experiment was replicated by other researchers. The experiments spanned a 25-year period from 1961 to 1985 and have been repeated in Australia, South Africa and in several European countries. In one study conducted in Germany, over 85% of the subjects administered a lethal electric shock to the learner.

Am I reading this right, 32% lethal verses 85% lethal if German?

Man-O-man, those Germans sure know how to follow orders. Let's keep Bush out of Germany.
