    Religion, organized religion should be considered a mental illness, prove me wrong.

    Anything that teaches hate, promotes superiority, or considers anyone less because they choose to believe (or not) in something else… all for a deity that can’t seemed to be bothered to actually smite those very people religions claims to truly despise…

    Being gay is ok. Love to my gay peeps.

      Churches are called out as an exception to the delusion diagnosis in the DSM.

      The mental health profession knows.

      Once it’s an organization it’s no longer mental Q.E.D.

      Believing in some deity is also ok, people can have their thoughts, as long as it does not harm others. A lot of people believing in some form of god, get solace out of it, so if it is, what they need to get by in this shitty world, good for them. Not all delusions are harmful.
      What is not ok, is taking part in and enabling evil religious systems, and using those beliefs as an excuse for hatred, discrimination, oppression and even war. The religious folks following the actual teachings of their religions is usually fine, as those tend to be pretty good (help others, love everyone and do not hate, etc.). Also a drastic contrast to the other, fundamentalist sides doing the opposite, cherrypicking what suits them out of the beliefs, and pretending their religion justifies their evil actions.

      (And I am an atheist myself, if that matters, for the context.)

    Those three guys got high and fucked before class.

    They’re gonna get high and fuck after class.

    They pay each other the discount rate of $15. Not because they have to. Out of respect.

      If not to pay next vertex of a triangle, then why would anyone desire $20 this much? Some may judge, but GDP is increasing as we speak, one Andrew at a time.

          People say “I am not gay but $20 is $20,” but why do they want $20 so bad? What’s something that everyone wants that also costs $20?

          Answer is of course, like the answer to most problems, gay sex!

          Alex gives Bob $20 for gay sex.
          Bob gives Cyrus $20 for gay sex.
          Cyrus gives Alex $20 for say gex.
          International GDP goes up by $60.

          It’s gayonomics 101!

          (Andrew is name of the character on $20 bills)

    “Okay, so for the presentation, we need to be wearing pro-gay t-shirts, got it?”

    “Got it! I’ve got the perfect shirt!”

    I’m seeing more and more people call being gay a mental illness, mostly on facebook, which has become a conservative cesspool

    Why are people so hateful assholes? Why are people always shamed victims? Why can’t we use words for caring. If I say mental disability, I am not making a judgement of worth. I am getting to know someone’s limits and if I must accomodate. The only reason I would care about someone’s sexuality is if I was interested in pursuing a relationship or kindly turning down advances. I am also interested in genetics and neuroscience, so I would be interested in what is different physiologically. Again, not in judgement but in scientific curiosity.

    Now on the science, it does not seem to be a confirmed genetic trait to be gay. My thought is it is the way the brain assembles during development. The recipe for male and female are in all of us. It would be odd if there wasn’t a variety of results. There are so many variables in the processes of reproduction and development that mutation occurs regularly, and tons of those are not simply genetic. Most of them are harmless or manageable. The ones that are harmful are where the word disorder is useful for communicating limits. Being gay is harmless, and probably not even mental. There might even be multiple reasons homosexuality develops in a person. For example, seizures can be from genetics, homeostastic embalance or trauma.

    It is sad that people are victims and people are hateful. It is horrible that in current times voice is given unashamedly to the selfish assholes on both sides. Historically, people have been made victims. Currently it looks more like people are competing on who is the bigger victim, overshadowing any real talk on the real issues, let alone compromise or find a solution to anything. If this image was from the 90’s I’d be impressed and proud. These days my mind makes me wonder if they are making a show for their inner circle or are antagonzing a reaction from their opponents. I hate that question and hope we find a way to rebuild these ruins of a civilation.

    i mean…

    try to get most americans to admit that a real mental disorder is actually a ‘mental disorder’ and not a person being ‘a lazy, no-good bum’ and you’ll become blue in the face trying to argue. or they’ll agree with you to avoid confrontation and then go on having the same shit opinions.

      If that dude‘s bum was no good, I don’t think anyone would be willing to pay 20 bucks for it
