Woman thinks all postal workers are after her

Chairman_woo says...

^ Just to be clear people with Schizophrenia and other psychotic conditions do have an elevated risk of committing violent acts. It's about 20% of pre diagnosed patients and around 9% of post treatment/diagnosis patients. As opposed to around 1-2% of the "normal" population.

The only big exception to this is in hospital itself where it can rise as high as 50%, however this is pretty well understood to be a product of the environment and circumstances (i.e. you are forcibly being held against your will). It's also one of the reasons you managed to evoke such hostility from me, the idea that people should just be committed/sectioned because they appear somewhat unstable is one that causes a great deal more harm that good.
There are people that are a genuine danger to themselves and or others when in the grips of an "episode", such people are why mental health sections exist, however extreme care and attention must be applied when considering someone who has yet to commit an "index offence".

If she's attacked people (or herself) before when displaying the same symptoms fine, if she has a history of refusing reasonable treatment fine, if she goes and attacks someone fine. But you can't just go around locking people up because they behave strangely. For all we know this lady has never hurt anyone and is not likely to do so, you can't make the kind of judgements your making without fully understanding the patient and the nature of their condition.
There are people I work with you'd instantly label as crazy and possibly dangerous. One guy has a trait of sometimes staring hard at you (esp strangers) while talking intensely under his breath to himself. If you saw him doing that to you and you'd never met him you'd probably shit yourself a bit (I know I did) but the dude is about as gentle as they come! He'd only ever act violently if you cornered him while he was confused and even then probably not. (never been a problem in the 2 years I worked with him)

I'm not saying this lady definitely isn't in any way dangerous, or even that it might not be better to taker her in under a section. I'm simply saying that making assumptions like that is extremely damaging both to the sufferers and to our ability to understand and help them.

Now the whole Gay/Lesbian/Transgender thing has started to become a normal part of our culture mental health is the perhaps one of the last great bullshit taboos left.

Their not crazies, THEIR FUCKING PEOPLE!!!

And I know this because I've yet to meet a truly "sane" human in my life.

If you like this, check out the British original that it's based on. It's called 'The Bill".

Gripping reality-based television. Got to watch it right from the beginning in, like, 1974 or something.

Crips And Bloods: Made In America

Classic cars crashing on the Nurburgring set to funky music

CreamK says...

Adenauer Forst is one of the slowest corners on that track.It caughts you by surprise as it looks faster. The trick is to slow down a lot more than what you think, i see people going off in sims all the time there, you hang on to your dear life just a corner before that chicane and then think "that looks easy, i'll just carry over the speed and break for the second part.. oops, too late.." It comes off at at hill top too so your momentum is going to destroy any grip you have..

You wouldn't want to go off at Flugplatz or Kesselchen thou.. Not to mention at Tiergarten, that place scares me even on a sim..

The Most Arrogant Man in the World

VoodooV says...

The more you tighten your grip on Obama hate, the more votes will slip through your fingers.

This is why you lose bobknight. You just have zero consideration for your audience. Even if you dislike Obama, Even if you're a conservative, unless you're a die hard true believer, you're going to be turned off by this video.

The "big tent" party keeps getting smaller and smaller when you double down on this "worst president evar" mentality.

Old white people aren't getting any younger. Remember that.

Bill Maher destroyed by Glenn Greenwald on US interventionis

Drachen_Jager says...

The sad thing is that Bill Maher, who by American standards is a crazy liberal left-winger is actually showed up as being still to the RIGHT of the truth, at least in this one area.

Scary shit when you realize just how far the U.S. has slid into the grips of right-wing propaganda.

Michael Shannon Reads the Insane Delta Gamma Sorority Letter

poolcleaner says...

Thanks bookface. I needed another reminder of why -- oh, I'm sorry, HUMANS are crazy. But I don't challenge your inductive assessment (of other people's opinions) that Americans, being human, are also crazy. I grew up there, I know. I deal with these personalities and it warps my own personality DAILY.

It's true, but it's not everyone. Mainly a lot of fucks in charge of various institutions who have maintained their grip on our society because they're shits like this sorority bitch. Though, I'm sure my redundant and filth ridden comments don't help either -- to you overly sensitive.. here's to your fuck you fucks. lol

This letter describes most of the women in my family. They don't care about helping out with the image of our family or the dysfunction, they just gossip (PRAYER CIRCLE AT CHURCH) and then go out on the attack, hitting below the belt.

The kinds of people that mess with your head until you question your manhood -- all of the O.C. girls that I grew up with in the church youth group; sluttin' their shit on the DL, maintaining their pristine image in the light of everyone's faces, and then crying when they don't get their way. "But that's the way mommy told me things work."

I did get a lot of handjobs from slut Christian girls, so I suppose I shouldn't complain. They loooooove to impress you with stories of parties and alcohol. teehee

Can't imagine why the rest of the world thinks Americans are crazy.

The Incoherence of Atheism (Ravi Zacharias)

shinyblurry says...

I wouldn't say anything, I don't think that it would be particularly effective. We all have our own idea of what morality is, and Stalin's is a very complex result of innumerable factors like upbringing, disposition and circumstance, and it would be a bit self important of me to think that I could argue that out of him. He lived, acted, died and left his mark on history. The paremeters set forth by the physical world and the collective actions of everyone else who has lived either as a contemporary or since has judged which of those actions have value and will live on. It's a messy process, certainly, but it's just how things work.

In other words, you don't have any argument as to why Stalin should adopt your morality and abandon his own. If you do I invite you to post it here. How can you escape Ravi's charge that atheism is incoherent in the absence of any such argument?

Thankfully, we seem to be heading in a direction that diverges considerably from that Stalin would espouse. I think that a certain evolutionary tendency towards beneficial collectivism is responsible for that.

Mind you that I'm not arguing for a one world government here, but rather I think that a sense of connection and personal responsibility for the wellbeing of everything else on this planet, ecosystem and all, will bode well for how I and my descendants experience this thing we call life.

It's only one of many competing survival strategies, and nothing more.


So if Hitler had won and the world was in the grips of his totalitarian regime, this would just a particular evolutionary tendency playing out? What makes one better than the other?

"Do you believe that there has ever been a case where slavery has been justified, and do you believe that there has ever been a good reason for anyone to butcher a toddler with a sword?"

Why is it wrong to do either of those things?

Get a grip Bob, with the abstract variations of modern homelike scenarios in the "parlance of our times," you simply must enjoy the tenderer moments between brothers

A quote I found in regards to this is:

This is Dean Evans at one of the world's most challenging race tracks at Bathurst in Australia. The conditions are a bit damp, and the other drivers are hesitant to get off the racing line and try the grip there. Dean isn't. He goes for it and the results are impressive.


He's a motoring journalist, and that brilliant footage was from 2005.

p.s. There is a pic on his magazine bio page if you're interested.

Extreme baby yoga!!

Sepacore says...

This is stupid for the same reason I don't like people pretending to throw knives at me. They may think they have a good grip and control, but everyone does the moment just before they realise they didn't.
