All About Threats

I read that scientists, by using magnets, had 'turned off' the threat centres in people's brains, and that this made them 'change their attitudes towards immigrants.' Obviously, the stunning revelation that people don't like immigrants because they feel threatened by them is one that will echo down the ages as a revelation made possible only by scientific brilliance, but given that such experiments are likely to continue, I'd like to make a few predictions.

Turning off the threat centres in people's brains will make them more likely to:-
> cross the road without looking;
> take insufficient care when using knives;
> take dangerous drugs;
> drink to excess;
> use heavy machinery without the correct safety precautions;
> build and use their own flying machines;
> try to pet lions;
> enter an economic union with Greece;
> let people turn parts of their brains off.

My reason for posting this is that the people who drew my attention to this (not me specifically; I don't have anything against immigration) seemed to think they'd made a point about the anti-immigration lobby. They hadn't, though.

An author "mysteriously disappears" one day after publishing a skeptical take on an anti-immigration viewpoint. Hmmmmm.
