Stir what pot, k? You've mentioned it a few times now.

[karel]

that all what the left does

You can't explain what you mean by "stir the pot"? That is interesting. It seemed so key to your arguments.

dude it not hard to figure out,but once again if your not from here,you will never understand it

That wouldn't really explain what you said, k.

The victims of this shooting were white (as far as I know), and the gunman was white, so I'm unclear how you think this was a race matter that is being stirred up, k.

You seem a bit muddled here.

[karel]

never said anything about race

[Symmetry]

never said anything about race

You sure about that?

Yup- you brought it up. Don't pretend that you didn't stir that up.

its the mental people that are the problem

News flash dude. It's a republican president that destroyed american mental healthcare. I.e. when Ronald Reagan got rid of Jimmy Carter's accomplishments.

I'm pretty sure Descartes isn't a part of the American Constitution, so to even say that there is such a thing as mental health is an inflammatory statement. Until you can prove that minds exist, you can't argue for mental healthcare. Richard Nixon got rid of Project Blue Book for the same reason.

And yet mental healthcare exists and is effective in treating mental illness. Existentialist philosophy isn't always the best foundation for medical treatment, DY. A rationalist like Descartes would have seen through your argument in an instant.

Out of interest k, what makes you think that gun control is "shit"?

Not a chance. It doesn't exist and even if it did, it would be ineffective.

That roughly equates to my idea of gods. It's a more fun conversation when you back down and see the funny side, DY.

That was exactly my initial point. If you are going to government-support psychiatrists, one might as well government-support exorcists.

DY- have you ever known someone who has suffered from mental illness? PTSD, for example, or depression, or schizophrenia?

One of his personalities has, the other two have not.

I don't believe in mental illness. People don't have a mind that can become broken. They might have a brain that can become broken, but that isn't a mental thing, it's either a chemical or a physical thing.

And psychiatrists prescribe physical chemicals...

Are you thinking of psychologists?

Maybe you should give us your definition of 'mind' or 'mental'.

Yeah, but they are crackpots I wouldn't trust messing with my brain. I'll stick with the exorcists.

You can use any definition you want. Human consciousness, the part of you that thinks, the "self-aware". Either is equally invalid. By that I mean that until you prove there is such a thing as the mind, one can't base public policy on it. I haven't seen any evidence of thought, rational or otherwise in human beings. Have you?
