I'm not a conservative in any way shape and form. I am a member of the ACLU and was a member of Refuse and Resist back in the day. I continue to support Occupy movements across the country. If you want to portray this as "conservative issues" go ahead, but it's not. Kennedy, Carter and Reagan were all responsible for…

Well, clearly you have a partisan grudge where I do not. Republicans and Democrats alike are culpable. Yes, Reagan fast-forwarded de-institutionalization. No one is questioning that. That was a bad thing. However, de-institutionalization as a whole began in the 1950's and 60's with the introduction of thorazine and…

By all accounts he was a whack job with severe social retardation, obsessive-compulsive disorder, emotional problems, and possibly un-diagnosed paranoid-schizophrenia according to his own father. Yet, he was allowed to sit in classrooms and walk the hallways of his high school like he as a "normal" kid, when clearly…

I NEVER said thorazine was effective . Re-read my comment. I was quoting from an article stating when de-institutionalization of the criminally insane began. Thorazine is the bloody reason we have insane people running around our communities causing chaos and death.

Those with mental illnesses where they have the potential to be a danger to others? Yup.

Where did I bring politics into it? Actually, YOU did by mentioning Reagan. I don't care who the president was at the time. The fact of the matter is bleeding heart special interest groups began the effort to de-institutionalize in 1955 in conjunction with the beginning of thorazine. Kennedy, Carter and Reagan also…

Fuck off. It's use is appropriate in this case. Actually.

No, I don't.

Ah, so our decision then was to then warehouse some of the mentally ill in appalling conditions and not treat them in ACTUAL prisons while at the same time allowing the rest of the mentally ill to walk our streets, often homeless, and endanger the rest of us. Brilliant!

No, that's not it at all. Mentally ill people don't "fall through the cracks". They are literrally shoved out of doors out onto the street with a bottle of anti-psychotic drugs and a pat on back.

Maybe it's not. That always confuses. Coincidentally then?

Ironically, I gave your wife the same hall pass and got the same result.

Consider this the "Hall Pass" Thread. Would you give one? Do you want one? Have you given one? Have you received one?

SHUT UP! Do you want the Jezbians coming over raining down indignation with the power of a thousands burning suns? Idiot!

Yes, because the Detroit Red Wings ARE hockey, amirite?

Only on Deadspin can you take facts and call it "peddling bullshit". Well done!

That is one of the most brilliantly worded comments I've ever read. Thank you.

Why doesn't Jezebel include people wearing rosaries as necklaces in their indignation of religious appropriation? Oh, right. They hate Catholics.

No. False. Bad News Bears is the greats Bears movie of all time.
