I feel a bit relieved.

Greed is a mental illness?  My ass.  You sure do love making up your own definitions.  Just don't let anyone else try the same.  Then you get all flummoxed.

Double standards are your specialty.

..................greed itself is a form of irrational behavior which should be considered a psychological disorder when too extreme.................

Asshat. The first doesn't even support your point as it's talking about greed being an aspect of two recognized mental disorders. Did you even read this, or did you just look at the headline? The other two are people suggesting that it be considered a disorder. That's not evidence that it is a disorder.

Total fail.

In short, I’m suggesting that greed, which is the pursuit and acquisition of money at any expense, is a pathological activity, is actually an addiction, and should be societally regarded as such. When it harms others or the environment, it is also a form of criminal insanity and should be treated legally and psychologically as such.

You're using an example of the extreme as representative of the middle. It's bogus. And your 'suggesting' it is so doesn't make it so. A mental illness is a set of behaviors which are either seriously maladaptive in one or more life spheres, or causes the individual unmanageable distress. Ordinary greed doesn't fit either of those.

Fail again.
