How do you do on the taboo test?
The test is a prime example of why academia is so utterly f'd up.
"There's nothing so absurd an academic will not believe it" is an axiom proven none better than here. Only people who can deconstruct, in 2000 words (or more, preferably more) why a carrot resembles genetalia can actually have the nerve to ask you, "why is having sex with a frozen chicken at least a little wrong?" The sad thing is, these are the people setting the agenda for the left in America. They're in charge in the EU.
We can thank the Greeks for all of this. 2500 years ago a unique set of circumstances allowed a people culturally inclined to hit each other over the head with rocks (when they had perfectly good swords at hand) to have a political system that allowed free speech and an economic system that allowed a lot of free time. The result was a bunch of pooftas who would argue things like "is it wrong to bugger a sheep as long as it doesn't affect the taste?" while they lounged on couches and pawed the help.
"Do you think it's wrong if someone f's a frozen chicken in the privacy of their own home?"
"Umm... yeah."
"Enough to put them in jail?"
"Well, no. Why are you asking me this you freak?"
"Ah-HA! You, my friend, are a primary example of the moral equivocacy of the common man, and the illogic of their position. Now, sign here so I can get a government grant to survey 10,000 more of you cretins."
"Sign this" *thump*
Oh yes, America, there are significant, and noisy, segments of your countrymen (mostly holding Berkely zip codes) who think you should spend your tax dollars to help them demonstrate a) most people think sex with poultry is wrong and b) there's no dialectically logical defense for this stance.
The "chattering classes" (academia, punditry, most of the left) decry the ignorance and chattle-like tendencies of those who ultimately control the most powerful country in the world. But really, would you want people who thought brother-sister sex wasn't at least a little weird in charge of your country?
Via Silflay.
I tried to take that test. In the middle of it, my cursor jumped and closed the window, all by itself. It's a bug in my computer that I've had since I first got the laptop.
I take it as a sign from God that that test was morally wrong.
