I would challenge that statment.... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 24/10/2017 05:14:17 PM

Same with all other mental diseases.

That statement being that all mental diseases are physical diseases. They aren't. Sure, some mental diseases are caused by physical structures within the brain being damaged or malformed.

However, some mental diseases are learned/acquired from life circumstances (where they did not exist before the acute event or chronic environment). Your assertion that they are one and the same doesn't really line up with that.

From what are you basing this on?

Good article. Tom - 16/10/2017 08:05:48 PM 1100 Views
Indeed it is a pathology of fear. LiterateDog - 17/10/2017 01:59:24 AM 994 Views
This makes me especially sad. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 12:47:51 PM 961 Views
never thought of it that way but excellent points *NM* random thoughts - 17/10/2017 03:31:51 AM 647 Views
Definitely a possibility. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 12:46:42 PM 973 Views
I totally agree on there being fewer causes for fear. Legolas - 17/10/2017 06:39:38 PM 1010 Views
Wait...you said *Rubio* was trying to push a positive, hopeful message? RUBIO? Tom - 17/10/2017 08:22:40 PM 950 Views

Ok, fair enough Tom - 17/10/2017 09:15:14 PM 894 Views
Yes. I think the days of American armed intervention in Latin-America are well behind us. Legolas - 17/10/2017 11:54:41 PM 945 Views
Regarding 'Make America Great Again'. Trump wasn't the first. He won't be the last. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 08:44:09 PM 1092 Views
Do we still have WSE points? I was quite the mogul in the waning days of WoTmania. *NM* Hieshyn - 16/10/2017 11:36:00 PM 624 Views

All generations experienced different cultures with different views *NM* random thoughts - 17/10/2017 11:41:40 AM 547 Views
Agreed but there is a difference in severity between 1997 to 2017 vs 997 to 1017 *NM* Roland00 - 18/10/2017 05:52:14 AM 558 Views
but less than 1900 vs 1920 random thoughts - 18/10/2017 02:27:59 PM 918 Views
I still have hope The Shrike - 17/10/2017 12:50:35 PM 1027 Views

So we are back in the Age of Romanticism. Western Civilization has been there before. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 12:58:04 PM 1016 Views
This article agrees with your assessment The Shrike - 17/10/2017 02:30:03 PM 1094 Views
I appreciate your amendment. Ghavrel - 17/10/2017 03:14:19 AM 1258 Views
no it is just hard to see the problem from the inside random thoughts - 17/10/2017 11:51:08 AM 979 Views
Re: no it is just hard to see the problem from the inside - uh, yes. nossy - 17/10/2017 01:44:26 PM 1047 Views
Most of us are very good at that random thoughts - 17/10/2017 08:24:50 PM 994 Views
Thanks. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 01:00:42 PM 897 Views
I disagree with relation to trigger warnings. Ghavrel - 17/10/2017 11:17:45 PM 975 Views
A fair point. - Still, how far will you extend them? The Shrike - 18/10/2017 12:47:50 AM 936 Views
I don't know, but I'm not entirely sure it's a big deal either way. Ghavrel - 18/10/2017 02:56:09 AM 884 Views
Nods Roland00 - 18/10/2017 03:17:17 AM 910 Views
And I would posit that no work of literature should have any trigger warnings. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 01:02:44 PM 1086 Views
Re: And I would posit that no work of literature should have any trigger warnings. Ghavrel - 18/10/2017 08:48:01 PM 993 Views
How would you propose such warnings be worded? damookster - 18/10/2017 09:21:02 PM 973 Views
Do you know a lot of people who suffer from PTSD? Ghavrel - 19/10/2017 05:26:06 AM 1159 Views
Stop. Now. Tom - 19/10/2017 06:21:13 AM 890 Views
Avoidance isn't the purpose of those warnings, though. Ghavrel - 19/10/2017 06:32:16 AM 925 Views
You would ruin the literature though. And discussions around the literature. The Shrike - 19/10/2017 01:21:20 PM 970 Views
That's reasonable. Ghavrel - 19/10/2017 11:58:56 PM 944 Views
Third party website? I fully support that. The Shrike - 20/10/2017 12:41:33 PM 1117 Views
Peace for our time! I agree with everything you wrote here. I'm always a sucker for more studies. *NM* Ghavrel - 21/10/2017 07:03:31 AM 508 Views
Well argument settled becuase they already exist random thoughts - 23/10/2017 01:46:55 PM 860 Views
Yeah but they don't necessarily exist for works of literature usually read at the university level The Shrike - 24/10/2017 12:28:35 PM 897 Views
That is true but it could fixed if there was more demand random thoughts - 24/10/2017 10:00:21 PM 912 Views
I feel like I now need a trigger warning for trigger warnings. *NM* The Shrike - 25/10/2017 12:48:47 PM 586 Views
Fuck you Tom Roland00 - 19/10/2017 07:06:47 AM 1060 Views

Re: Oh please Ghavrel - 20/10/2017 12:01:02 AM 951 Views
What is your basis for arguing that "trigger warnings" are beneficial? Tom - 20/10/2017 07:19:42 PM 941 Views
Ha! Joke's on you! We don't do interrogatories in the criminal system. Ghavrel - 21/10/2017 07:01:54 AM 940 Views
If you are not proposing altering any literature... Tom - 22/10/2017 04:28:53 PM 934 Views
I'm just gonna put this out there... Jeordam - 20/10/2017 07:24:55 PM 946 Views
Eh, I don't think that's accurate. Ghavrel - 21/10/2017 07:04:58 AM 872 Views
An unnecessary tool.... Jeordam - 23/10/2017 05:14:06 PM 919 Views
Why does this reasoning apply to PTSD but not to other diseases? PTSD is a physical issue. Ghavrel - 24/10/2017 12:33:31 AM 880 Views
I would challenge that statment.... Jeordam - 24/10/2017 05:14:17 PM 1082 Views
Do you actually believe those examples are valid? *NM* random thoughts - 23/10/2017 07:32:59 PM 514 Views
Forget it, mook. He's just being a silly, stupid kid. He should know better. *NM* Tom - 19/10/2017 06:17:28 AM 622 Views

Why are some HUMANS wary of freedom? Roland00 - 17/10/2017 05:31:04 AM 926 Views
Maybe the victimhood thing is another kind of honor Cannoli - 17/10/2017 01:02:43 PM 997 Views
Because it's easier to absolve oneself of power sometimes. For those people anyway. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 01:10:41 PM 932 Views
I apologize before hand Roland00 - 18/10/2017 01:11:59 AM 934 Views
Only made it through page 2. Were there separate graphs for just N. American/West European nations? The Shrike - 18/10/2017 01:04:05 PM 915 Views
I haven't read all the comments, so I apologize if I'm doubling up nossy - 17/10/2017 01:06:00 PM 1142 Views
Oh those echo chambers. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 01:16:40 PM 1055 Views
I hate blaming things nossy - 17/10/2017 02:04:44 PM 1110 Views
I'm not even sure "echo chamber" is the right phrase Tom - 17/10/2017 02:17:07 PM 1056 Views
I'm not sure that is the most common choice. nossy - 17/10/2017 05:21:52 PM 1144 Views
I get irritated too. But I still keep them in my news feed as well. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 08:49:45 PM 925 Views
Je ne regrette rien. My memes are both spicy and piquant. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/10/2017 11:20:55 PM 502 Views
I'm of Russian extraction. I like my food bland. Garlic, dill, salt, pepper. It's enough for me. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 12:52:27 AM 903 Views
You know, I'd not thought about that. Ghavrel - 18/10/2017 03:07:05 AM 967 Views
I find him intriguing as a Captain. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 01:09:07 PM 991 Views
So now we are at episode 6 The Shrike - 24/10/2017 12:31:06 PM 837 Views
6 was by far the best episode of the series. *NM* Ghavrel - 24/10/2017 08:07:55 PM 526 Views
Yes The Shrike - 25/10/2017 12:50:15 PM 891 Views
But are your Memes brothy and fully of Umami? Roland00 - 18/10/2017 01:17:07 AM 858 Views

I do think some of this is specifically American and to a lesser extent the rest of the Anglosphere. Legolas - 17/10/2017 06:26:33 PM 962 Views
Agreed with all your points. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 08:53:23 PM 976 Views
The Netherlands, I'm not so sure about. Legolas - 17/10/2017 11:43:54 PM 930 Views
My apologies. I see Dutch and don't think of Belgium. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 12:56:26 AM 969 Views
That's alright. This is a confusing country in many ways. Legolas - 18/10/2017 08:58:15 PM 941 Views
America and to a lesser extent the rest of the Anglosphere puts a higher valuer on liberty *NM* random thoughts - 19/10/2017 01:53:50 PM 551 Views
Yes, in some ways it does. *NM* Legolas - 19/10/2017 05:38:41 PM 548 Views

I think a lot of us are thinking about trigger warnings differently. Ghavrel - 21/10/2017 07:07:01 AM 944 Views
Maybe, maybe not... Jeordam - 23/10/2017 05:18:16 PM 869 Views
