Possible Motive Emerges In The Connecticut Shooting
#8
RE: Possible Motive Emerges In The Connecticut Shooting
For the first, I agree the privacy thing is an issue.

I didn't equate everyone with mental issues into the same camp. Does everyone else have that problem with lumping everyone together? I should think we at least on this board understand that not every atheist is a militant atheist. Or are we the only people capable of seeing in shades of grey?

Nor did I have trouble understanding that not every mass murder spree is the result of psychosis. She wrote it to say that there are people with violent tendencies who need help and aren't getting it.

Quote:By reducing ‘mental illness’ to ‘outward behaviour’ the article dehumanises the mentally ill and completely glosses over the inner mental life and experiences of those with mental illness.

Isn't a call to have more help and understanding about these things addressing this issue?
