Yeah, he seemed smug about something but didn't say anything.
Drake 7:27 pm
He was TRYING to say you claimed to have the inability to rationalize. But the issue isn't a complete inability. It's more focused than that. Your reactions to certain stimuli are irrational. You are AWARE of that, but not until after the fact.
Drake 7:29 pm
depression or bipolar mean certain aspects of your life are ruled by that irrational part. Like obsessive compulsive people who have to wash their hands three times. They know it doesn't really matter... But if they don't do it they FEEL unclean.
Forcing themself not to do it might not stop the behavior...it might just make them feel disgustingly unclean all the time.
If you could 'just stop then more people would. Nobody WANTS to be ruled by needless compulsion or phobias. You just can't rationalize it away.
Drake 7:35 pm
If the disorder is really bad, you may not even be aware of the irrationality.
CreedofHeresy 7:36 pm
Like schizophrenia, which is what I was actually talking about when I was referring to irrationality; that schizophrenics, without medication, are mentally incapable of any kind of rationality that can be understood by anyone else, not even other schizophrenics, which is why medication is necessary. And if it's necessary for one mental disorder in order to return them to normality, or give them a semblance of it, then why is it not necessary for people who have other reactions?
Drake 7:39 pm
Right. He wants everything to be in a vague, black-and-white sort of thing, it looks like. He wants to group everything and everyone into a neat little group.
CreedofHeresy 7:51 pm
Well he's actually gone on record as saying he just enjoys judging other people. He's never actually contributed anything other than to pick at nits and cherry-pick his arguments.
Drake 7:52 pm
Sounds like a class act. And a troll.

Conversation between me and a person far smarter than Catturd discussing this thread yesterday.
So we have at least five people that I can think of off the top of my head, four of them on this forum (Me, Cthulhu, TGAC, LastPoet), who are in agreement that Catturd says nothing and never addresses any points and generally is a troll. Five people who say that Catturd's reasoning isn't very rational and doesn't really go anywhere. So I'm just gonna come right out and state that Catturd is an in-denial schizophrenic who should quit being a crybaby whining about how everyone is out to get him with their evil pills and just shut the fuck up and take his damn medicine.
