dystopianfuturetoday4 Pathos in the video. 1 in the comments. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
SagemindI think this article sums up what Penn is trying to say here:
Mentally ill doesn't equal evil
"One in five Canadians will deal with some form of mental illness in any given year in Canada. And most of these periods of suffering, whether it's a bout of acute anxiety or depression or an eating disorder, goes untreated. One in five Canadians equates to roughly 400,000 Vancouverites, or almost seven million Canadians nationally.
To think of all of these people as dangerous or homeless, or to see them as incapable of employment or a relationship, is ridiculous.
These numbers tell us that the vast majority of Canadians afflicted with a mental illness are wonderful, functioning people. They are our teachers, lawyers, waitresses, bus drivers; they are us, not "them."
My concern is how we dismantle the stigma that surrounds mental illness so the Canadians who are affected can feel no shame in getting the help they may need and deserve.
I am concerned about the layperson who reads the sensationalistic headlines after incidents such as the Connecticut shooting and then thinks of mental illness as a lifelong sentence of being feared and ostracized."

Trancecoachthey're talking at one another, not with or to one another...
PhreezdrydThe opinion expressed the fastest and loudest is the winner, right?
And bonus points if it's something that's been dis-proven over and over again in the past.
ChaosEngineJesus Christ, I'm in FAVOUR of gun control and this was one of the worst arguments for it I've ever seen.
Leaving the fucked up mood whiplash at the start, the very first point was factually incorrect.
