The more I read your screed, the more I think you haven't considered the possibility that you might be wrong in your assessment of mental issues being abused to get out of work, play for sympathy, etc.
As for me not having a single fact, I've got a lot of facts about mental issues and how they affect workers -- I've been a business manager most of my professional life -- and I personally don't agree completely with you or FNM regarding the topic. But I don't see the point of discussing this any more with you, because clearly you're looking for simple agreement, and getting butthurt that it isn't necessarily forthcoming.
I didn't see you mention the possibility I might be right. And did I say you didn't have a single fact about mental illness? What the fuck would I know about what you know about mental illness? You could be a clone of Freud for all I know. It should be pretty damned obvious that the "facts" to which I was referring were the facts of this case. You are confused of the difference between having "knowledge" of mental issues and "facts" of what I'm talking about.
I'm not looking for simple agreement. I don't give a fuck what you want to believe. But nobody here is a fucking moron (though it seems as if the two of you are heading toward calling me one, I'm better than that). If you don't see what you said that set me off, if you have all this "knowledge" of psychology and still don't understand why I might be a little bit pissed at this point and why your comment didn't help that then perhaps you don't know as much as you think you dol.

Speaking of pulling things out of your ass, pull your head out, too, so you can stop strawmanning the shit out of me and actually listen to what I have to say.Okay, now you're just being a prick because I won't roll over and agree with you. You pushed until I pushed back and now you're doing a little bitch character assault, insinuating I'm probably a liar because what I had to say didn't agree with you. I'm an atheist too, dickhead. I've played the same games and I know the same tactics. I certainly know enough to see a bitch move like that a mile away.
Firstly, no one is butthurt(except maybe you?), and no one is upset that there are whiny people. So, you can just let that shit go. Like I said, I learned a long time ago not to let ignorance about mental health bother me. If I did, I'd be in in a 24/7 rage.
So, your wife now has a psychology degree? Well, isn't that convenient.
If you wanted a civil conversation, we'd be having one. I'm easy to get along with, if that's what you want. But what you want is validation that your problems are so fucking bad that nobody better say anything which might even possibly suggest that they're not. You know what? I actually fucking believe that. Like I said, I've seen it. I don't doubt for one fucking second that you have real issues deserving of a little fucking empathy. You've given me no reason to doubt you and, unlike you, I don't mind showing a little fucking respect and assuming that you're telling the truth until you give me reason not to. I know damned well a "civil conversation" isn't what you wanted, so this one is almost over. So get the last word in and we'll call it fucking good.
Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately? Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use. Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel. Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.
