  4. Does the experiment below explain how the religion of peace dehumanizes us from the west?

    MARINA ABRAMOVIC: HUMAN EXPERIMENTS
    Marina Abramovic, a Yugoslav performance artist, who is also known as the “grandmother of performance art,” did a daring act when she stood as a puppet in front of public for six hours and let people do whatever they wanted to. The performance which is famously known as “Rhythm 0” was aimed at testing the relationship between performer and audience. But, it turned out to be a horrific experience for Abramovic as she felt raped.
    During the performance which was conducted for six hours between 8 PM and 2 AM, Abramovic had placed 72 objects on a table and allowed people to use them on her body as desired. While some of the objects would give pleasure, other could be used to inflict pain. The objects included rose, feather, honey, a whip, olive oil, scissors, a scalpel, a blade, a gun and a single bullet. People were allowed to use this stuff on Abramovic’s body. She wanted to test how aggressive a human can turn into when free from social consequences. To her dismay, at the end of the Abramovic was undressed and groped. Her blouse was opened exposing her breasts. There were acts of violence and sexual harassment. There were cuts on her neck made by audience members, and her clothes were cut off her body. A man used razor to make a cut on neck. Blades were used to make cut on her clothes and body, her body was stripped and attacked from almost all corners.
    In her own words, she explains that the performance showed them that how fast a person can hurt you under favorable circumstances and it also showed that how easy it is to dehumanize a person who does not fight and does not want to defend themself.
    “This work reveals something terrible about humanity. It shows how fast a person can hurt you under favorable circumstances. It shows how easy it is to dehumanize a person who does not fight, who does not defend himself. It shows that if he provides the stage, the majority of ‘normal’ people, apparently can become truly violent,” said Abramovic.

    1. No, it demonstrates the results of the absence of religion.
      The so called religion of peace can be categorized as such and is represented by any of the objects on that table.

    3. This is what happens when everything is permitted. Any grownup could have told her that.

      What fools call “prejudice” is simply the ability and willingness of the wise to learn from the mistakes of fools.

    5. nothing whatsoever new about this:
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment

      oh, and marambe: ‘absence of religion’; you mean islam which is killing more of their *own* right now than any other?
      or ‘carisssstians’ during the protestant vs catholic era that lasted right up to the killing fields in Ireland?

      ‘religion’ is VASTLY different than a belief in a loving God Who knows all possible outcomes of all possible combinations of circumstances AND allows we violent petulant rebellious humahns to have it our way as we demand. then blame Him when it goes south. I call it tough love. kinda like when a carisssstians demands thru prayer that He attend to THEIR needs first and foremost despite the fact another carissssstian has been waiting longer and is far more humble about it. especially if circumstances create an impossible situation to answer BOTH at the same time.

      religion. fcuk religion.

  5. Kate, thanks for that. My son plays Trombone in a youth band (Burlington Teen Tour Band). He’ll enjoy that when I send it to him.

    The CBC [ spits ] is airing a documentary called “Band Geeks” on October 17th at 9 p.m. EDT that follows the Band as they prepare for and play in the 2018 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena. Their next big event is playing in Normandy next June to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

  8. In high school, our marching band used to play China Grove (Doobie Brothers). It was always awesome. The drum line was stupendous.

  10. Beautiful music selection Kate. Thank you! And leftists say conservatives don’t have good taste and are not cultured. Just a bunch of hicks we are – their favourite narrative.

    And speaking of what leftists think, here’s my reader tip. Biden says Trump supporters are “dregs of society”:

    Sixty-three million Americans voted for Trump. That’s quite a pile of dregs.
