Should I give you my Visa number over the forum?:confused:

9999 8888 6589 3257 exp 09/06:D

I take paypal too. Remember, wife graduated with her MSN but is not board certified yet and you are the mod of a board I go to. Once she gets her licence, price goes up.

Oh man, let me find the black AMX, I'll buy now while its cheap!:D

BTW, I perform surgery too. I read the wife's books and the internet articles.

If all you have is a hammer...

A 4 inch nail will also work?

I dunno, they're your cures...

I was completing your sentence "If all you have is a hammer..." but I believe it will work. Just takes a little more work to hammer the nail in.

Interesting how it's 4-5% of people. But it isn't surprising assuming some kind of standard normal distribution. I believe it. In fact, I'd wager a buck that 90% of us have some kind of biological imbalance which puts us into the bottom or top 5% of the population.

Broad prediction eh? :)

One of the elements of the article was that the percentage was much higher than earlier thought. It makes one wonder how many other “biological imbalances” there are where the majority who experience it are angry and in denial?

Nobody talks about it. My family has a history of mental illness on my Dad's side. My brother had it but was told to "cheer up" until my other brother had to cut loose the rope which was choking him to death.

A good friend of mine had his mom's bones busted before he decided that religious counseling was doing his Dad no good and finally drugged him up for good.


People just don't like talking about it because somehow they feel it's shameful. You look fine on the outside, what the hell's wrong with you? Mental disorders are the silent killer. Nobody takes notice until someone gets killed.

Heart attack or Male Breast Cancer, yes. Mental illness? I doubt it. If they are that bad, lock them up. If not, they can deal with it or not. We didn't have all these issues before the mindfux came along. People seemed more sane except for a few. Of course, this new crop of "illnesses" doesn't do any harm to the mindfux pocketbook, does it? Kinda like a shady mechanic that seems to find all sorts of problems with a perfectly good running car and can fix it with muffler bearings, blinker fluid, headlamp fluid, etc, etc.

Like I have said before, take out the mitigation factor when the mindfawk is used and see if people really seek "help" for their supposedly real illnesses.

Yes we lock them up. Extreme deviants which probably account for under 1% of the population. The less deviant the behavior the higher the occurence in the general population. This 4-5% perhaps not as abnormal as Jeffrey Dahmar, but noticeable enough to warrant extra study. It's still a statistical abnorality. In any other normal distribution such as global warming or poverty we would be looking real hard for an answer.

So you think sane people commit suicide? I just read the whole article. All those with this syndrome have abnormal brain scans. Many also have other mental disorders.

We had these issues. People just didn't talk about it. Spousal abuse is actually on the decline so don't even say it didn't exist before.

Well, global warming is more trendy than global cooling which was the big thing way back when. Poverty has always existed and cannot be fixed. However, both are good things to tout when running for office.

Sure they can. When things are that bad with no sign of improving, they might commit suicide. If a person has terminal cancer and the outlook is a painful or uncomfortable death and they choose to die now, are you saying they are commiting suicide and insane? So your thesis is that only the insane commit suicide? Why?

Yes, you can tell me all day long how scientific they are when they gather data. However, what you cannot tell me is that the interpretation of that data is scientific. It is a SWAG that is little better than voodoo. Explain to me how 2 mindfawks can say a woman who gives her kids a rock party is sane and 2 say she is insane? Explain how I could, at age 10, lie to a Child Psychiatrist and have him say what I need him to say to get me exempted from doing a certain class? Explain how I could twist another mindfawk to say what I needed him to say at age 16? Tell me that if we put 100 mindfawks in a room with 1 patient, they won't have more than 1 answer for what he is suffering from and more than 1 cure. Better yet, tell me that you would want me to fix your car the way a mindfawk fixes the mind or so they claim. Look at the kids we have out there today and tell me that their way is so much better.

Yes, we had issues. WE LEARNT TO DEAL WITH IT. However, today there is an easier way. Buy yourself an opinion and use it as a crutch. Don't have to really fix it, find an excuse for it. Can you say that people would claim to have mental issues and need "help" if they were not given any breaks for it?

That "help" will no doubt be paid for by employers and/or health insurance. Another crutch for spoiled adults, the drug companies will come up with a miricale pill and the healthcare industry scores another homerun.

The behavior sounds like a five year old when they don't get what they want. If mommy and daddy had taken "time out" to spank the daylights out of the brat then they would behave like a human as a adult.
