Talk:Killology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm a former Army Ranger and have been in combat in Panama (Op Just Cause), Somalia and in Afghanistan. I'm only about 60 pages into "On Combat", but it's pretty much right on with my experiences. It's also helped me to understand some of my perceptions during firefights, and before and after them. This book probably wouldn't have any meaning for me if I did not have and understand the "Warrior Mindset", but I do, and it has helped me better than any DoD counselor so far. Guess I'll post a more comprehensive review when I've finished the book.
[edit] Pushing the POV line
Giving this article a look, I'm concerned that it might not be completely NPOV, on both sides of the issue. I think it could do with a balanced look at some of the controversies around these theories, rather than a link to an external site in which a guy tries to debunk Grossman in what I consider to be a very unprofessional-looking manner. What are the issues and what are the responses on both sides? 23skidoo 21:23, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Subliminal Messages and Killology
I removed this section from the Killology entry:
Common subliminal message In 2005 an organisation by the name of Platnim 1000 (incorrect spelling intentional) began a research investigation to descover how to induce the mental conditions that occur in a serial killer when attempting to murder their victims. Their research led them to develop a subliminal message that supposidly increased the chance of a person commiting a murder. The sublinal message in question has been given the name "KILL" as a joke by its inventors. "KILL" was never proven to work, although there have been several incidents where "KILL" was supposibly exposed to a large group of people without there own knowledge or consent. The most famous being in a high school in liverpool, sydney. "KILL" is a very basic messege that consists of just 8 lines and can be written in any direction, i.e right to left, up and down, left to right...
The subliminal message of "kill" has a tangential (at best) relationship to Killology and has little relevance to an encyclopedic article about Killology.
If anyone disagrees, feel free to replace the section (as long as you fix the spelling mistakes), and reply here why you think it is relevant to what has already been stated within the article. Aubreygrossman 15:03, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
