Isn't scientology grand?

Of course, we have some whackos opposed to health care professionals even in our own ranks.

You're glib.

Here's the problem. You don't know the history of psychiatry.

You oppose the work of mental health professionals?

Are you stating I'm unfamiliar with the work of Freud and Jung?

Man, you are clueless.

Dont you pay attention to anything that people say or do in THIS century?

Archaea, this clip is a sample of what some refer to as "pop culture." It features a now-infamous interview between a relatively famous guy named Tom Cruise and another relatively famous guy named Matt Lauer. Tom was there to promote a movie called War of the Worlds. He spent the entire time talking about Scientology, psychiatry, and Brooke Shields. The argument became a topic of debate and discussion on many news outlets.

Warning: No Greek verb conjugation is discussed in this clip. Nobody rides a bike. The Gospel of John in Greek is not referenced.



If you enjoy this clip, let me know and I can supply you other examples of current "pop culture."

We need TC over here to finally give Mike his commeuppance.

To be fair, TD lives in SoCal where, it seems to me, the importance of pop culture is greatly exaggerated.

Now you are glib.

Something happened to you. Something happened to you....We've never seen you behave this way.

I'm aware of the Lauer interview and SoCal Tom Cruise's view on psychiatry. But I don't recognize your last lines.

Hey, I don't go with culture, creekster and I make culture.

My apologies, then. From your initial response, I never would have guessed that you were familiar with either.

But you are eclectic, after all. :)

The last lines are from Tom's jump-on-the-couch interview with Oprah. Which, I am sure you are familiar with, too. Along with Freud and Jung.
