Total Madness

[P3nT4gR4m]

I am in two minds as to rip his second paragraph a new one about the mental health stuff. There is no pun intended but first I need the posters definition of psychosis.

Welcome to the crazy club! Now I guess you understand why I make such a big deal about fucking wannabe tourists who haven't earned the rights to use such words

My pet hate is obvious bubblegummers who tell me they are "depressed" but the "I'm so insane I wear odd coloured socks" brigade runs a close second.

OK, Jack, since I'm crashing in your thread, I may as well make some points about your rant:

You do realize actually Really Real Crimes Against Humanity are happening right now that make not being allowed to masturbate in public look like a minor issue?  Not to harsh on your buzz man, but right now we send out killer robots to bomb villages and kidnap people and slice their testicles with scalpels, while asking them questions they cannot answer.  We lock up 15 year old children on no charge, and then when no evidence can be found to justify their detention, change the laws to keep them in.  We carry out medical experiments on kidnapped people who may be, but are probably not, guilty of terrorism charges.

Starting to see my point here?

Same again for the meat.  Meat is not murder.  It is unpleasant (for the animal certainly), messy and not always economical.  However, it is also tasty, and most animals, at least in the western world, have a far better standard of life than they do in the wild, where their domesticated nature and inability to flourish in a natural environment would quickly lead to their extinction at the hand of some very amazed predators. 

If you want to see a real, modern day holocaust, you could always go to Sri Lanka, where they're herding the Tamil population into concentration camps, probably as a prelude to a massacre.  You could go to Gaza City, kept under a blockade designed as part of an "economic warfare" program to starve and deplete the Palestinians there into defeat.  You could at Chinese attempts at ethnic cleansing in Tibet, or the many, many examples of genocide in central African wars, where the chief tactic is to ride into a village with a bunch of armed men and kill everyone, then vanish back into the jungle.

I guess what I'm saying is your hyperbole betrays a lack of understanding of the world, and your concerns are very small in relation to what is actually going on, and either you have not attempted to educate yourself on these topics or simply do not care.

Fucking yes, yes, yes.

I have to take exception to Rat's comment about there being nothing wrong with being mad.

"Mad" as in crazy.

Maybe you find the idea glamorous or entertaining, but there's really nothing awesome about it at all. I am pretty fucking sane but my brushes with mental illness (I have OCD, PTSD, and anxiety, and the epilepsy produces a fascinatingly close but blessedly temporary simile of psychosis) have been really awful and terrifying. My mother has borderline personality disorder and is a horrible person. I have bipolar friends who really struggle, and one schizophrenic friend who I have watched turn from promising young scholar to scary homeless person. My brother had depression; he put a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger.

I don't think Pixie and Pent are having a truckload of fun, there, either.

I am fucking fed up to here with people who glamorize mental illness. "Nothing wrong with it" my ass.

Yeah, I remember early this year.  Not fun.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Activist masturbation- what happens when even hippies won't give you some.

This really ought to be some kind of poster. Which reminds me - the squid thing from pic this am - bbiab ...

Someone remind me of this on Saturday, btw.

There's a reason I called my series "Conversations from hell" and not "Conversations from Happy Fluffy Funland"

And reading that series drives the point home. Not just for you, but everyone you spent time with there.

Attn Everybody: Stop posting tvtropes links - I can't clikc one of those fucking things without getting lost for hours on that fucking site 

On a side note somebody should do a "pdtropes" version

[LMNO]

I know.  I'm a proponent of fuzzy logic, myself.  I just like poking Rat with sticks.

FUZZY LOGIC

(sorry having a background in Machine Learning, the term "fuzzy logic" bring me similar rage as "quantum" does to some. it is a complete and utter useless type of "machine reasoning" currently only used in laundry machines and because the japanese liked the word "fuzzy" to do with semi-intelligent machines) (and yes I know you meant something else by "fuzzy logic", but that's where the term comes from)

Would "Maybe Logic" work better for you?  I got no problems using that term.

Be warned:  Ratatosk is a shill for the Maybe Logic Academy.

A little madness, now and then, is relished by the wisest men.

That man lives best who's fain to live half mad, half sane

However, note that I didn't say "Having serious mental illnesses, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Clinical Depression and Personality Disorders are a load of fun."

In short, one can be 'mad' without being ill.

Wasn't there a rant about that sort of thing awhile back?

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

I'm still waiting for the OP to get back to me on the definition of psychosis.

If not I may rant that shit right up!
