Yeah, don't hold your prisoners without trial, don't torture them, don't keep detaining the huge amount that was cleared for release, don't ignore their religion in evil ways (like desecrating the koran in front of them, force feeding them on fasting days)...

Many prisoners have been cleared for release.

a. He's not asking us to feel sorry for him at all, he's allowing his body to be used as a prop to show the procedure done to the detainees.

....missing the point.

What you just said about Ramadan fills me with so much rage I could explode. That is evil.

I'm a baker, and it is so true that in general, despite what one would think, you actually tend to lose a lot of weight and keep it off working as a baker. I went from a size 8 to a 2 from when I started baking onwards, because a. I was around the baked goods so much I just didn't really eat them much anymore, and b.…

Now that you've pointed out the reason why, I find this absolutely hilarious. Inside joke for your personal self is awesome.

Well, I guess I would agree with you that in terms of being able to be treated for having a personality disorder, like you are saying borderline, that should absolutely not be separated from the diagnoses so that insurance companies will cover the treatment.

Do you think that about the doctors/surgeons who have it? They save lives for a living. They've managed to utilize their lack of empathy in a way that allows them to be able to cut into patients human bodies without it horrifying them, but still channeling it for good.

First off, Axis I is the clinical syndromes, a.k.a the diagnoses...what you are describing "anxiety, panic attacks, depression..."

"do you think pedophilia and sociopathy go hand in hand?"

I'm not saying they should continue on, seething and fuming, raging about "those goddam friends!" ::shakes fist to sky::

All the clinical disorders are Axis I and they include not only mood disorders but thought disorders such as schizophrenia. Axis II are character disorders, disorders of character, not of mental processes: a personality disorder is not associated with distress or disability of the person, nor with a psychological…

Fuck that. They shouldn't have offered to babysit if they were going through something that bad, unless they could keep their shit together. And don't try to tell me anything back about 'undiagnosed mental illness' either, I know the DSMV backwards and forwards, and that is not what I am talking about. I am talking…

Yes, but would you take her on a romantic getaway beach vacation, and then to dinner with your family (where your siblings have their spouses, etc), and then in front of all of them give her the gifts, plus a dozen red roses? That is the most stereotypical, out of a romance movie, rich guy schtick ever thing to do-she…

OMG, rant: People are writing all sorts of comments on here about how people who [possibly abusive] like one member of that couple, MUST be mentally ill (just like the OP wrote "untreated mental illness").... This is such a damaging stigma to assume that if a person is abusive they are automatically mentally ill.…

Personality disorder is Axis II. Not the same as Axis I, which is where a mental illness would be categorized in the DSMIV or IV.

Yes! People with mental illness are statistically more likely to become victimized than victimizers. The idea that all bullies and abusers are mentally ill is such bullshit, and so damaging.

No, it's not.

ack, right, can I tell you how uncomfortable that line about mental illness made me!
