...is a jackass.
Specifically the Party that owns the MSM, which is suppressing the fact that the Las Vegas Massacre was carried out by a man who had converted to Islam before buying his illegal weapons.

>There has never been the slightest evidence, for instance, that Whitman's tumor made him pull the trigger.

That's absolutely not true at all. Whitman's tumor is the subject of some debate. And, I tend to side with Whitman, in that he noticed the demarcation from relatively sane to batshit himself. If it wasn't the tumor, it was something.

As for the rest, you're obviously entitled to your own opinion. (especially in your own journal) But, unless you're joking, I tend to think you're full of shit there too. People describe real phenomena differently and contextualize them differently depending on the perspective of the culture and the best available information. If you're going to penalize people for armchair "diagnoses" (or anything else) you're going to have to paint all of humanity with that brush. As that sort of sidemouth rubbish is a feature of us all.

Ex. Autism Spectrum disorders are real. And, many people with autism and aspergers really suffer and require a ton of treatment. This is not to suggest that someone who is merely "socially awkward" wouldn't or hasn't been misdiagnosed. But it is to suggest that socially awkward people might sometimes be called "a bit aspy', by casual observers, instead of dorky. a loser, or whatever simply due to this new "understanding".

Doctor Asperger received the Order of Hitler for coming up with an excuse to lock up kids who asked too many questions to be suitable for the Hitler Youth.

Calling it a disorder is calling groupthink normal, so you seriously need to examine your own philosophy of life for signs that you may be willing to rationalize execution of people who disagree with you.
