| The thing about antipsychotics is that they block the dopamine molecule, which is supposed to give you pleasure. Now they tell you that the newer antipsychotics only block specific dopamine receptors (D2, D4, etc.) and so have fewer side effects, but I've been forcefully injected numerous times by t... |

| That's one of the most rampant fallacies in our culture: that someone can just "choose" to be happy if they want to be. What it basically means is that someone can torture you like a sick animal and it's okay because you can "choose" to be happy anyway. A real sadist's view of life. Which is unfortu... |

| Well, I've said enough. I'll leave you to judge for yourselves. Also, I just want to add that while I'm looking out for your interests, I find it highly unsettling that you're deriding my analysis as the stuff of "conspiracy theory." I hate to have to tell the truth, but that is very typical, fallac... |

| As with everything, it depends on to what degree you disbelieve. If you disbelieve someone that tells you the sky is blue and water is wet, then the definition is not in conflict with the dictionary definition. I should add in a minor correction of what I said here: Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. de... |

| As further evidence of the corporate greed of the pharmaceutical industries and of their lack of concern for the well-being of their customers, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has defined 'delusion' as ⋅ Believing that what other people say is not true (delusions) This is, of course, not the... |

Wow... 50% of respondents say that sexual frustration is either a great source of agony for them, or is severe.
Then again, maybe this thread naturally attracts those desperate to relieve their frustration (like me). |

| If you used it as in "so and so is a science freak" it isn't, but if you say someone is a "freak" for being less than perfect or has some sort of a deformity, that is probably one of the most cold, nasty and bigoted things you could say to them. Sorry. So, out of curiosity, do you think that while ... |

| It's interesting to me that so many find the word offensive, because I don't even look at it that way. I've been called a freak several times in my life (twice by my own family) and I almost think of 'freak' as synonymous with 'friend.' At any rate, I'm going to have to let this spoiled, insensitive... |

I made this today. What do you think?
This goes out to all the lonely, tormented people out there who are fed up with social maltreatment.
I hope I can get it into Google Images. |

| They are auditory hallucinations I can barely control. It's humiliating. They just say, "You're a freak, Charlie Brown," over and over. I have no actual thought disorder; something just insists on telling me that Charlie Brown is (or I am) a freak. The voice that says "psychopath" I can hardly help ... |

That sounds really rough. I'm sorry to hear that, Tory_canuck.
Eventually, we're going to have to do something about all these people who make fun of the disabled. Planet Earth isn't meant to be their torture-fest. |
