The Five Monkeys Experiment
An experimenter puts 5 monkeys in a large cage. High up at the top of the cage, well beyond the reach of the monkeys, is a bunch of bananas. Underneath the bananas is a ladder.
The monkeys immediately spot the bananas and one begins to climb the ladder. As he does, however, the experimenter sprays him with a stream of cold water. Then, he proceeds to spray each of the other monkeys.
The monkey on the ladder scrambles off. And all 5 sit for a time on the floor, wet, cold, and bewildered. Soon, though, the temptation of the bananas is too great, and another monkey begins to climb the ladder. Again, the experimenter sprays the ambitious monkey with cold water and all the other monkeys as well. When a third monkey tries to climb the ladder, the other monkeys, wanting to avoid the cold spray, pull him off the ladder and beat him.
Now one monkey is removed and a new monkey is introduced to the cage. Spotting the bananas, he naively begins to climb the ladder. The other monkeys pull him off and beat him.
Here’s where it gets interesting. The experimenter removes a second one of the original monkeys from the cage and replaces him with a new monkey. Again, the new monkey begins to climb the ladder and, again, the other monkeys pull him off and beat him - including the monkey who had never been sprayed.
By the end of the experiment, none of the original monkeys were left and yet, despite none of them ever experiencing the cold, wet, spray, they had all learned never to try and go for the bananas.
Who are you in this experiment?!

So who is the original writer?! Find that out and then come back spamming my very important thread.
Did you know that news is all 'copied' and the new york times will never write 'source of cnn' and is still not considered spam. The only spam in this thread is you! You should be deleted and not the ones providing valuable information (no matter where the source is from). The site i got it from is not the source. So u want me to provide the source of a 'spammer'?! Like cheetah did?! So funny... your 'service' is so out of line. You know why facebook is sucking so hard? Because of people like you. Iq below roomtemperature and acting like a big boy...
Ps how do you call a translation from the original post?! The original source is german. This is english? So u consider everything thats not the source spam? Then everything you write or say is spam because someone before you has spoken these words, didnt they? Hey every fuckin letter u write is a copy. Now go and delete yourself idiot.
If you do something like this then do it right! Because ur fucked up service discourages people who provide real information to get the thinking process going. No matter of the fucking source.
