    Disease Mongering

    What you normally see portrayed in US media are people who talk about being in therapy, i.e. they are paying privately to have a course of sessions with a psychoanalyst, dealing with problems (genuine or perceived) that are psychological rather than physical in nature. These psychoanalysts may...

    These Roads Lead... Where?

    I believe that, although a Hebrew word used a few times throughout the Bible in reference to other people is often translated as Lucifer, the references to the fallen angel never mention that name.

    Disease Mongering

    That depends. Maybe, and maybe not. As a very general layman's overview: Psychoanalysts/psychotherapists get you to talk about your life, dreams etc. to try and get to the root of past events or traumas that may be causing your particular issues (e.g. depression, anxiety). They may or may not...

    Strange Deaths

    The resort appears to be a mix of self-catering apartments and bungalows, not a hotel. As such, cleaners probably only go in at the end of somebody's rental period before the next lot arrive.

    That's wrong I'm afraid. You're describing psychoanalysis, not psychiatry. Even among psychiatrists, Freudian/Jungian psychoanalysis isn't always looked upon favourably or regarded as a valid science.

    Indeed. 1943's Son of Dracula https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Dracula_(1943_film) Kim Newman's domain name, Johnny Alucard, is a character from the groovy Dracula A.D. 1972.

    Are you promulgating the notion of a "safe space"? I may have to report this to the PC Gone Mad thread. ;)

    Dolemite was a character of stand-up comedian (turned actor) Rudy Ray Moore, so I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be serious. :cool2:

    Star Wars

    He only had a few lines, and they were all delivered in that same sing-songy voice. Non-entity at best. (Of course, if this was a genuine Star wars fan board, such sentiment would be enough to have me taken out back and shot.)

    Hearing Your Name Called

    Paracusia, which can be either misinterpreting actual noises (like an auditory pareidolia), or hearing a noise without any stimulus at all.

    I wasn't referring to your comments directly. Of course there are arrogant psychiatrists, as there are arrogant people in all professions and all walks of life. I was referring more to those who were questioning psychiatrists value as physicians.

    He would have had some dealings in that area, yes. His only real 'claim to fame' is being brought in to assess Speer and Hess in Spandau prison (and gets a very brief mention in Speer's diaries).

    Holocaust Denial

    The 2001 film, Conspiracy, based on the Wannsee Conference where the mechanics of the Final Solution were thrashed out among top-level Nazis, is a pretty good depiction of the full horror of the matter-of-fact industrialisation of the Holocaust .

    Moon Landing: Hoaxed?

    I dare say the astrobiologists at NASA know a bit more about that subject than anyone here. The Galileo probe indicated there was likely a subsurface ocean on Europa. This may harbour microbial life. You may regard discovering extraterrestrial life as a waste of money, others do not.
