Is medicine moral?

Aren't most aspects of medicine designed to control people?

Aren't things such as "Asperger's Syndrome" designed to penalise youngsters who "act weird"?

Isn't mental illness in general just a tool to subdue?

Aren't most of these threads designed to troll people?

Aren't things such as 'why do blacks bitch and moan about slavery' and 'do morals exist' designed only to get a rise out of forumgoers who don't realize what you're doing?

Isn't mental illness in general just a little above your head? Heart

Opinions as questions? Aye, that'd be rhetoric.

If they are your opinion, then keep them to yourself.

Also, the same argument can be made for religion in terms of controlling the populous.

Sure, NSAID are a government hoax meant to actually invade people's brains to find out about their thoughts. Bisoprolol is fed to people just for fun. Pantoprazole is actually a means to insert nano-bots in humans. Yeah, medicine is all about control!
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Dazzn, why can't you be content with simply wallowing in the filth of your own incompetence? Why must you rub our noses in it, too?
