Spike Posted August 28, 2002 Psychopaths. Nutters. One-card-short-of-a-deck-type people. Love 'em or hate 'em, we read about them everyday - hell, we probably even know one or two. Some of these characters owe their violent or sadistic tendencies to chemical imbalances. Others, to a tortured childhood. Even more of them do it just because they can get away with it (See the illustrious Dr Harold Shipman). So, what's your view? Crazy people in a normal world, or perhaps the most normal, rational and reasonable people around? 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted August 28, 2002 I think many of those who visit these forums have been labeled as mentally disrupted more than once :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Spike Posted August 28, 2002 Yeah, i've had psychologists thrown at me in school, and others think that my drawings suggest i should be seeing the local shrink. Still, i haven't killed anyone. Yet. 0 Share this post Link to post
IMJack Posted August 28, 2002 Now, are we specifically talking about violent or disruptive people, or just about uniquely strange human beings in general? I've got a lot of roommate stories in case of the latter. ;) 0 Share this post Link to post
Disorder Posted August 28, 2002 To tell you the truth, I visited a psychiatrist for a while. It didn't do shit with me, so I stopped going to that place and just went on playing Doom. That helped me more, actually. 0 Share this post Link to post

Most people probably believe that the line is crossed when the person in question commits a violent act - which in turn suggests that millions of people are metaphoric powdercakes getting ready to explode. Some suggest psychological screening - and that would open a whole new can of proverbial worms. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted August 28, 2002 I had a psychologist once...then I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chiante. Seriously, I found the best solution for keeping your sanity is my kkeping yourself surrounded with close friends. Failing that, I just get on the internet and bitch at people. As for psychotics, I say "You're not insane, just sane....in an insane world. 0 Share this post Link to post

Silverwyvern Posted August 28, 2002 I really don't think there is an 'insane'... just lots of different views. How we view the world, each other and ourselves. Too many people get 'diagnosed' as insane when all the doctor really wants is money. Too many others want to be insane just to be different. Myself, I'm obsessive compulsive. I am not insane, nor do I want to be. If I lose my mind, nothing else will matter. *gets the little 'SANE' stamp from the Simpsons. 0 Share this post Link to post
Coopersville Posted August 28, 2002 I know one, constantly bursting out in murderous threats, muttering stuff backwards, telling stories of people he's killed (yet he hasn't been caught). It's because of some disease that takes away his personality and doesn't let him take jokes well. He's short, red-haired, skinny and emotional so he really isn't a danger and they let him in my school. 0 Share this post Link to post

dsm Posted August 30, 2002 Sadistic psychos who love to cause pain and fear deserve to die. I'd prefer them to die slowly and painfully so they could get a taste of their own medicine, but then someone would get mad (pah, someone would get mad anyway if society decided to just dispose of psychos - why? I dunno). I'm talking about those useless fuckers who would shoot up a school of people for no reason whatsoever, kidnap innocent people (including children) and in some way or another torture them to death because they think it's fun, etc. 0 Share this post Link to post
