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.

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.
Yours yog is totally dishonesty.
You are just a dreamer not a doctor and an expert in mental diseases and yet you try to knock down the opinion of the experts in the field.
If you don't like the opinion of these experts all you have to do is click in your search engine..........greed mental disease......... to find countless of other opinions and all of them agree that greed is a mental disease.
Now you fail twice.
One for deny that greed is a mental disease.
Two for trying to say that you got more expertise than the real experts.
Shame on you yog.
