Well, I won’t post anymore on this subject unless you want to start a new thread. The subject is just too large and complicated, But I have worked around the mentally ill for years when I worked in a hospital. I know how they love to wear the labels of their illnesses as badges of merit. They can be cured, most of them at least, but not in institutions with pills.
Sorry for the diversion from the OP.
Not to mention your diversion from responding to what AClockworkMelon actually wrote. Whether or not you think “working around” the mentally ill makes your statement that they are better off out of institutions and without medicine hold any water is irrelevant. Can’t blame you though for trying to ignore the stupid statement you made. Though I’m pretty sure doing that by making another stupid statement doesn’t makes you look any better.
