Testamonial:  And i have actually gone to a bar and had a bouncer try to start a fight with me on the way in. I broke his teeth out of his fucking mouth and put his face through a passenger side window of a car.

Guess thats what the Internet was build for, pussy motherfuckers taking shit in safety...

The DSM - IV is a joke, and its contents have more to do with politics than actual psychology.

I had a conversation with a customer at work today about this, and she made a similar distinction, but hers was between social and psychological/medical diagnoses. She talked for a good 15 minutes about the difference, and made many valid points. I don't remember most of them right now though because I've been drinking some DELICIOUS-ass beer.

I should specify I meant the internal politics of the medical community.

Oh I wasn't trying to tear away what you said, I haven't had enough time to consider her words enough yet. They were interesting though, just though I throw out that idea.

I mean, you might have wanted to clarify your point anyway, but yeah, just sayin.

Mostly wanted to clarify, I wasn't sure from your post if I had made my point clear at all.

Oh no it made sense, I was just adding a similar yet slightly varied perspective I heard today.

The lady was walking around shopping for awhile in our small ass store where you can hear everything, and I was talking tyo a coworker about this thread, and she butted in at one point and just talked alot and said some interesting things I didn't expect to hear in my small-ish town.

have you even understood what i wrote?

maybe the DSM-IV should have a big fat introduction telling people "what this book IS, and what it is NOT" (i dunno it might actually have this introduction already).

Hadn't read what you said, no, but having done so now, my point stands, the symptoms in the DSM -IV get decided on by people with a vested interest in the condition, and the connections to get on the commitee, and the people who are actively engaged in research on a condition are the *last* people I want making the final decision, a fucking layman at least won't be blinded by preconceptions and their career.

Of course, I also have preconceptions involved here, so maybe I'm just as blinded as to the end result.

It's just another label.

Some people are misadjusted, and that's hardly surprising in today's world.  If it makes people more comfortable to give these misadjustments medical sounding names and rationales, more power to 'em.

i can agree with that.

also, when used in the right hands, any kind of labelling can be useful. in my hands, for example, it allows me to easily find out how others have dealt with similar problems.

(even though i must admit the most similar person up to date came to me without labeling, by complete accident and to our mutual utter surprise--aint life grand )

TGRR,
Was expected to forget all about it, maybe?

nah not expected .. okay so "racist" was the wrong word, how do you call it then when someone keeps on throwing unfounded insults at random european countries (most notably, the french, the german and the dutch), i mean it wouldn't be half as annoying if the insults were actually funny or clever in some way. and you even seemed to be trying to make a point by saying "we even let the Germans in", as if letting Germans on our forum is something you would have otherwise generally frowned upon.
see normally i just ignore remarks like that, but after seeing it so many times and somehow used as a counterargument to what i was saying, i kinda grew tired of it.

btw, honest question. i've seen people who say bad things about mexicans being labeled as racists in or around these boards, how does that work? mexico is also a country, not a race, right?
