Or, are you afraid of what might come out. You are about as funny as a rubber crutch. Maybe you need treatment, badly. Not my concern though. I really don't have to deal with you in any fashion. -- Peter

Would you do it for other diseases - for example "Hah, that shot's so blurry, you must have Parkinsons"? I'd say you are too thoughtful a person to do that. For similar reasons, it's uncool to poke fun at mental health issues. > Meanwhile, somebody needs to speak to you about your hobby of being a > net-nanny. Talk away - it's a free world. I'm not forbidding you to do anything, or taking away your evening milk and crackers. All I'm saying is that it's worth considering that, in the name of fun and games, you may be causing pain by making fun of people with mental illnesses, and that pain is out of proportion to the amount of fun you are having. -- Mike Russell - http://www.curvemeister.com

This is true enough, however my comments are directed at people who do *not* suffer from a mental disorder. Can't we consider the effects that our comments will have on others, and take responsibility for what we do? > Due to the very nature of > being able to read anything they want to or project into others' written > words, they only end up compounding their psychoses and skewed emotional > states. They are purposely choosing to make themselves worse, never better. All true - if only because people with similar disorders may have at one another like cats and dogs. My suggestion, and it's only that, is to think twice before making fun of someone, using a mental illness as the barb. You would not make fun of someone with a physical disease, and a mental disease is no different. I apologize for being repetitious, and I will stop responding to this thread, unless I think of something new to say, which is unlikely. -- Mike Russell - http://www.curvemeister.com

Of course, they tend to stay clear of people who they think are likely end up on the couch some day, which may explain why you don't have any friends in that professon.

This is mostly true and fairly insightful. > They are purposely choosing to make themselves worse, never better. This is just plain wrong: psychotics by their very nature almost never think that there's anything really wrong with themselves, so from their viewpoint they're not choosing to make themselves "worse". |
