Shallow, infantile, and...well, just not intelligent.

Do you honestly think that conservative people have no contact with family and friends that know mental illness...

I hope the moderator pulls this...if not, think about this post...try to go deep...I know it hurts but try...

The truth is down there...down deep.

I appreciate your sensitivity toward mental illness. My immediate and near extended family have plenty of the official psych diagnoses. I would wager that most everyone in this forum have family and/or friends that fall into the psych illness category.

In our family, a fair number of the psych afflicted have retained their sense of humor toward their conditions. Every one of them are brilliant. We all pitch in together to make the best of difficult situations. A sense of humor goes a long way toward softening the perpetual pain.

Try approaching the painful truths in your life with a little humor. It helps a lot.

I do. I think the post is great.

I have to laugh...what else can I do?

My psychiatrist would think you have a problem with humor, and NO, I am not joking.

Oh, lighten up.
Mental illness is highly prized in my family, and something I require of my friends.

You know, mental illness touched my family profoundly.

And I work in the field now.

Sometimes one just has to laugh.

The "Offended" stchick doesn't work really well here.
