I have brown eyes therefore I am superior.

Man I just watched "Eye of the storm" a discrimination experiment from the 50's as part of a training course that I am going through right now.

It was pretty interesting they split up a class of kids and told them that blue eyed kids were smarter than brown eyed kids, then recorded how they acted. Within 15 minutes they were discriminating and fighting. The next day they told the brown eyed kids THEY were smarter and the roles INSTANTLY reversed.

Ok, I know this is lame, but I found it very interesting. Blow me.

True.

Does it surprise you that almost every race makes god look like them?
 
I don't think it's lame at all. It's very interesting. However, I think you are lame for telling people to blow you.

Seriously, it was a pretty good social psych experiment.

Not only was it a good social psych experiment, it taught the children about discrimation, it also showed the world.. or whoever saw the movie how stupid racism can be. The teacher was a genius

My eyes constantly change color, sometimes green sometmies blue and sometimes grey. Therefore I am most definetely superior 😉
 
So, with eyes this color clearEyes.JPG

would I be superior?

Actually my eyes really aren't just one color....the center is more yellow, yes yellow. You can kinda see that in this pic:
BlurryEyes.JPG
And yes I know the second is a horrible pic, but my camera is a very old digital and doesn't like being that close to the subject.

Oh and while we're at it, what color would you say my eyes are exactly. I've heard grey, blue, and green.

it's interesting, and it shows how great the power of suggestion is.

btw, green eyes rule. no one has to tell us. 😀
 
i think it was great that in the past psychology experiements didn't have much restrictions and they used to do a lot of crazy things that turned people crazy, but a lot of good statistics was collected. Well I'm actually glad that this form of experimenting doesn't exist, it is actually cruel. . . don't know what I"m thinking, all i'm saying that it was good that it happened, but its also good that it doesn't happen anymore. For example, study was made to see whether or not people will follow orders, even though the order is known to be wrong. They had a Q&A. If a man answers a question wrong, the person must give a shock to the guy, for every consecutive question wrong, the voltage increases. Now, the man isn't really being shocked,he's just acting, they are really trying to see if the other guy would send shocks to the one who is being questioned. Most people did follow the directions and shocked the guy even though he was screaming, and begging for them to stop. I think the conclusion of the experiment is that people felt less responsible when ordered to do something by a person in higher status.

Their kinda like mine but I don't have any yellow, they are usually just Grey, kinda like your first pic. But in less light become a deep green, and become blue quite often too. Technically, eyes that change are usually classified as Blue eyes, even though my eyes are grey more then they are blue, but they are blue more then they are green too. Its just different lighting.
