TDS: Arizona Shootings Reaction

bamdrew says...

Good to hear someone saying 'lets focus on the good these people did in their lives cut too short'.

As a people, mental illness will always be with us; maybe this is a chance to talk about how we are helping (and not helping) those with schizophrenia and related disorders in the US?

Mom Said Devil Made Her Decapitate Her 3-Week-Old Son

kceaton1 says...

Well it's either God™ (BTW, he tried it once-then realized he was coming off of a high), the Devil™ (BTW,the devil is suppose to tempt not tell), the Schizophrenia (does it happily), the Mom (does it, but the switch is off), or the person that never gets blamed yet we all know did it, Cthulhu™ (always tells you to do it, in His dreams...).

Schizophrenia is the only one making any sense here.

Mom Said Devil Made Her Decapitate Her 3-Week-Old Son

Fusionaut says...

Schizophrenia was my first thought as well. The voices in a schizophrenic's mind can eventually become unbearable. If the mother in this case was not religious then she would have some other name than "god" for the voices. It's possible that the baby seemed evil to her or she had to release the demon inside. If she felt remorse afterwards then it was during a moment of clarity.

God did it...
Edit:
Actually, this is symptomatic of people that cannot accept responsibility for their own actions. They look to something "higher" that they can pin it on. No, the devil did not make her do it, she just did it, her choice, her responsibility. Like god also does nothing, the devil does nothing.


Wow. Really? This is clearly someone with mental *health issues. Likely schizophrenia.

Out of respect I won't downvote that comment. But that's a very short-sighted view on the world when someone is clearly struggling with a horrible, horrible illness. It's a terrible shame, all this.

This isn't about "accepting responsibility", it's about a psychotic break. Would you say the same thing to a man with a shattered pelvis to "just get up and walk", and when he doesn't, he's clearly not taking "personal responsibility" in his life for not being mobile and able to work?

What If: God was aliens and not supernatural? (Religion Talk Post)

peggedbea says...

hehehe my high school boyfriend had schizophrenia. that beautiful beautiful brilliant twisted little boy believed .. in kind of a stargate scenario. like aliens just dropped us off here and all the religious artifacts left behind were just reminents of them. he painted amazing pictures of it. and spent hours and hours and hours and hours obsessively pouring over the bible and relating almost to accounts of alien sightings. there was some show he used to watch at 3am on a religious channel with some fat scholarly man going over bizarre shit from like the book of enoch and jubilees and things that never made it into the bible. he was obsessed with the giza plateau and "fallen angels". it made for a very interesting few years. and when we finally broke up i was fairly convinced of all kinds of alternative theories of ancient egypt. .

Joe Rogan on Hemp, Marijuana and DMT

Matthu says...

I do believe there is evidence that weed can trigger schizophrenia, but only in people who are genetically predisposed to the ilness. Schizophrenia is genetic.

I used to figure that smoking anything can cause cancer, but there are many ways to enjoy marijuana. As far as I know, there is no link between marijuana and cancer.

If you roll joints mixed with tobacco, then you're smoking paper, glue and, of course, tobacco.

But you can use a vaporizer which is different and I don't think causes cancer at all.

Would you notice? Or, when would you stop noticing perhaps? Or, talked out of it, internally?

The Watcher becomes impaired or impeded does it not?

I'm pretty sure it's normal to think "I don't remember anything I did in the last 20 minutes" every once in a while, but if it happened a lot I would really freak out.

If I heard voices like that in my head I'd surely spend all my time hitting my head and yelling "shut up!"...


Indeed, how many of us have seen individuals on the street performing this very same described action? I am skeptical of its efficacy.(Euphemism)

How many of us have been sleep deprived, intoxicated, stressed, emotional, and thereby suffered mental impairment? What conscious control were we able to manifest? How long would it take to "forget" it wasn't normal owing to the onus of these and other attendant symptoms? Would the voices not become referentially familiar?

When I was studying such things it was referred to as a perceptual disorder.
