    I nominate Mike for euthanasia. His quality of life is pretty shitty. I sure he cries himself to sleep every night, raging at the God he doesn't believe in for making him a pathetic loser.

    Hate to tell you this, but admins can read the edit history. So who's fabricating shit? Or put another way, care to revise your bullshit story?

    No, you're just fabricating shit now. And you'll post a doctored version of these logs to support your lie. Very X-Files of you.

    ...demands the guy who hides his name, and makes up fake jobs, fake philosophies he doesn't live by, and endears himself to no one.

    Yeah, I'll get right on discussing my finances with that person. That's totally a productive and fruitful thing to do.
    Said no one ever.

    Translation: I haven't sold shit. Compared to me, Castle's vaping blog looks like the Huffington Post.

    There's still time for at least a couple of applications today. Maybe you can get lucky and land a checker job at Target. You could be the next "Alex from Target." Minus the good looks and healthy physique and sense of hope for the future, of course.....

    Everyone knew he needed quality therapy (and to be taken out of the home of the crazy mom). He didn't get therapy even though it was needed. If we are going to have someone who is identified through their IEP to need therapy it should happen by a licensed Dr. Not the in house "counsler" or as in this case a known quack when he did get a session.

    A disservice has been done to the mental health profession by promoting counseling as a cure-all for every social problem that exists. A thug kid who likes to beat up on smaller, weaker kids should be sitting in a juvenile detention facility, or locked away in a residential treatment center at the very least. Counselors aren't superheroes. I get annoyed how, after every school tragedy, they always announce that they're sending the therapists in!!! Watch out, here come the shrinks to save the day!!!! :dayton:

    And what does this have to do with the original post anyhow? I thought the thread was about some islamo-cunt in Texas who was whining about how she isn't a terrorist. Hey cunt, you don't want folks to think you're a terrorist? Don't affiliate yourself with their terrorist religion.

    Yet another nice meltdown, Flashlight. I feel you're getting pretty close to buying some lesbian shoes and one of Marge's books.

    What does Post #48 have to do with the OP? Nothing. Except it underscores your history as a patient rather than a provider.

    Simple logic, 20-something years of Simpsons, tons of merchandise, some of it had to be books, at least one had to be Marge-centric.

    As we get to the point of identify the genetic causes of such behavior, then there's a good chance that we could intervene with a protein or some other drug during childhood development. Francis Crick once made the startling claim that we would one day cure stupidity - and he meant it. As we come to understand the genetics and functioning of the human brain, those who aren't bright because of the lack of a particular set of genes (which code for proteins), could have the missing proteins introduced artificially, or have the genes inserted with some harmless virus.

    As an example, we may soon have a cure for Down's syndrome, a simple injection given once, right after birth. It already worked in mice.

    There's a neuroscientist named Sam Harris, you might have heard of him. He doesn't believe in free will, I was listening a recent podcast with him, and he was laying out how someday soon we will be able to predict sociopathic behaviors based on the brain. I forget if it was genetics, chemicals or even tumors. His question was what are we going to do if we determine killers aren't able to help themselves? I can point you to the podcast if you like, I'm too beat today to dig through his numerous writings to find the details.

    Now all that said, what do we do, and how do we not trample the rights of an individual if experts determine one is prone to certain crimes? Assuming of course there isn't a benign treatment. And consider that science is only right at the time, and often proven wrong later. Humanity has done some pretty horrific things to people based on the given knowledge of the day, and with the best of intentions.

    Forewarned is forearmed. Knowing their predispositions, it would be simple to entrap them by giving them a weapon loaded with blanks and talking them into attempting a robbery or murder - of a paranoid group of white supremacist motorcycle gang members dealing drugs from their armed compound - and who've been tipped off about the incoming bandit. That way there aren't any ethical or legal issues to deal with. :)

    I've always thought determinism of any sort was just a different version of the religious concept of predestination, only without being able to blame it on God or "mankind is born in sin."

    One problem is that psych disorders are not addressed in the same way physical disorders are.

    If someone has a familial/genetic predisposition to a particular type of cancer, shouldn't he and his doctors be made aware of that? How do we do that for psychological predispositions without stigmatizing the individual? I don't know.

    That's not even addressing the nature v nurture debate.
