The Irrational Modern Woman, Sexual Anarchy, & 'Rape Culture'.

Author : Ray Titus      Blog : Buyer Behaviour      Date : 5/20/2013 4:06:00 AM

'Consider that every choice, every decision, every plan, and every venture requires picking between goods, a selection of a certain path to the exclusion of all others. The ability to choose greater over lesser goods and higher over lower paths is known as reason -- the mind projecting consciousness forward, attempting to predict outcome and choosing for itself which is superior toward the pursuit of happiness (whether by conscience, Law, urge, or intellect).Choice cannot be avoided.(...)'

The Socialist helps no one but himself

'So, what about survival at Rs. 32/day? Well unless you want a malnourished, hungry, underproductive worker class, its time to raise that number for sure! Maybe Steve Jobs was trying to reach out to our planning commission literally when he said “Stay hungry, stay foolish”. Food for thought?That's the from the Rs100aday Blog.The greatest tragedy of our country is the lack of academic and research institutions that teach us the merits of free markets, and influence public po(...)'

Why Dumb is good for Marketers

'According to a survey by market research company YouGov 70 percent British women would follow the preventative double mastectomy path Angelina Jolie's taken, if tests showed they had a high chance of developing breast cancer.Imagine that.70 percent British women will do what is necessary to save their lives, now that Angie's doing it. Now why do I think 70 percent British women need to have their heads checked?As much as the thought of women follow(...)'

Pray & Grow Rich

''THE GOSPEL OF PROSPERITY has been around for decades. It has flourished in good times and — oddly enough — in bad. It was first expounded in the 1950s by Oral Roberts in books like God’s Formula for Success and Prosperity, but it wasn’t until the charismatic Oral Roberts University-educated Osteen took up the cause that the gospel really started to pay off.Proponents cite chapter and verse to bolster the legitimacy of their message. The Parable of the Talents. Much of Deuteronomy. (...)'

Author : Ray Titus      Blog : Buyer Behaviour      Date : 5/16/2013 5:33:00 AM

'N Shiva Kumar's IIM-C admission story is as inspirational as it is an illustration of capitalism at its best.Beating the odds, the boy's made it completely on his own merit. It isn't government handouts that have helped him. Its his industriousness coupled with his toil that's gotten him to IIM-C. That's capitalism for you. Work hard and smart, and you will reap your very 'personal' benefits.N Shivakumar's inspirational sto(...)'

Leftist-Socialist Policies breed Poverty!

Author : Ray Titus      Blog : Buyer Behaviour      Date : 5/15/2013 4:36:00 PM

'If Jean Dreze (in the company of Amartya Sen) is the guy focusing on hunger in India, I bet the going will only be downhill. Hasn't socialism and government intervention on poverty taken us downhill for the last fifty years? Jean's the current poster guy for the continuation of leftist-socialist nonsense in India, legitimized and legalized by grand sounding bills like the right to food (Food Security Bill)!For God's sake, let's not go down the path we've been taking all this wh(...)'

The Incompatibility of Porn & Healthy Sexual Behavior

Author : Ray Titus      Blog : Buyer Behaviour      Date : 5/15/2013 5:33:00 AM

''Another thing the state needs to do is to encourage the dissemination of pornography. Ideally, it would introduce sex education in schools since the data indicate that reduces pathological sexual behaviour. But this is politically impossible since a broad spectrum of leaders believe formal sex education is incompatible with Indian culture.Hence, pornography is pretty much the only way for Indian youngsters to learn what goes where. The government not only needs to decriminalise the(...)'

Bureaucracy erodes value, creates none!

'While congratulating Haritha, this year's IAS topper, the NDTV news anchor asked the topper why she chose country over a corporate job.Did I hear right? Country over corporate? You mean, the Indian bureaucracy once called the most dangerous animal by Minister Jairam Ramesh, serves the country while the johnnies who slave it out in the corporate world, choose greed?Ha ha ha. That's probably the joke of the decade!Truth is, the Indian bureaucracy is quite the reason why as a country w(...)'

What will save lives?

Author : Ray Titus      Blog : Buyer Behaviour      Date : 5/13/2013 3:50:00 AM

'Amartya Sen wants to estimate the number of deaths caused by the delay in passing the Food Security Bill. He thinks this may shame Opposition politicians into ceasing disruption of proceedings in the Lok Sabha. “To capture people’s attention, you have to have a number,” he says. Fine, but let’s hope Sen will also estimate deaths caused by faulty policies that historically kept India’s GDP growth slow, and have once again slowed growth today. He loves to emphasise that for any g(...)'

'I've been firm in the belief that marketers err most when they subject consumers to information overload via their communiques. Now I'm having a rethink on that. Sure, overload still is the problem, but the cardinal sin is not being able to engage all of the consumer's senses. Meaning the solutions (read, products) marketers pitch are mostly heard and seen. That's them missing out on three senses. Marketers offer almost nothing that can be tasted, smelt, or felt.Pity.My rethink on t(...)'

Yes Logos!

'Being a parent to a six and a two year old means your life won't seem like yours for a long-long time. Now if that has you having a rethink on being a parent, think again. There's nothing (I can bet a million bucks!) that can give you what being a parent can.Like when I hear Brooklyn, my two year old express herself. Just now a kid from the neighborhood dropped in. Brooklyn wanted the rest of us to know he dropped in late 'cos he was sleeping.(...)'

Society's Death Wish

Author : Ray Titus      Blog : Buyer Behaviour      Date : 5/4/2013 4:22:00 AM

''What has our society come to when it treats as a war criminal anyone who admits to giving their child an occasional smack, and yet advocates exposing children to pornography?The answer is that, for several decades now, a small number of determined zealots have wormed their way into influential positions from where they have set about undermining traditional moral precepts and replacing parental authority with their own, in order to brainwash children with the doctrine of ‘anything (...)'

The Social-Self Expression in Barack Obama's 'Laid-Back' Style

Author : Ray Titus      Blog : Buyer Behaviour      Date : 5/1/2013 2:48:00 AM

'Vanity Fair thinks it his 'lean back style'. I know its his insolence coming through. Truth is, Barack doesn't deserve to be President of the United States of America. Its another thing he is, and we know why.Barack's 'style' represents who he is. In this case (the pic.), it isn't a put-on. His exhibition of 'lean back' is actually his telling the rest of the world he can put his feet on the Resolute Desk, and no one can do cr*p about it! Barack's telling us, 'Go fly a kite, I (...)'

Homosexuality & the Rights of Children

Author : Ray Titus      Blog : Buyer Behaviour      Date : 4/20/2013 5:08:00 PM

''Regarding the rights of children: they undoubtedly will be involved in the question at hand, given that the men and women with homosexual tendencies will no doubt seek to adopt children.It seems to me that the right of the child to a father or mother is absolutely being ignored in our society. I submit that the greatest discrimination in our day and age is against the most vulnerable who have no say and are not able to argue for themselves for the need and importance of both father(...)'

They lie when they say its been proved that death penalty is not a deterrent.The truth is, it is!As a li'l five year old battles for her life, victim to unspeakable bestiality, its important we put to death the perpetrator (once proven guilty after due judicial process)!Remember, death is a deterrent!Here's Jay Gaskill again, from his essay, (...)'

'Expert opinions are in. Fastrack's closet campaign has been construed as challenging prevalent social mores. Some think that's a good idea, others think otherwise.I think they've missed the wood for the trees.Fastrack couldn't care less if people moved on, or didn't. What it cares for is sales. Sales happen when their target consumers buy. To get them to buy, Fastrack has to connect to their sensibilities via(...)'
