Milgram got in a bit of trouble for that experiment because:

a) he proved something people that didn't want to think about

b) some of his subjects were very disturbed by what they did in his experiment.

When I was in college I watched a video of another Milgram experiment, where he set out to explain the Kitty Genovese incident, in which a woman was stabbed and noone helped. Milgram and others theorized that in larger groups, many people find it hard to initiate any action, figuring that 'someone else' will do it.

I don't believe test #5,#2 or #1
I have known about all these experiments before from reliable sources. But once we know what our natural reactions are we can use our high brain to do something about it.

Apparently, Facebook is being a little bitch and trying not to catch the evil eye from Iran's government by attempting to squash the account of a vocal protester within the country: http://coedmagazine.com/2009/06/23/i...en-revolution/

It might not hurt, but I was more referring to our conciseness.

They made a movie about the prison experiment. It was so messed-up. Don't remember the name.

No, this was a fictionalized version that followed closely to the actual events. Damn. Wish I could remember the name of it.
