Murder is murder. It is always insane. I don’t need some pile of stinking psychologists to tell me they should be payed to hold their hands.

To: Born to Conserve

we have come a long way in the treatment of mental illness. with therapy and medications, most people with some sort of mental illness can now lead normal, decent happy lives...But then, why don’t we just throw all that away and if someone gets depressed or anxious, just tell them to pray harder and then lock them away...no need to hold their hands.

I think you might feel differently if one of your relatives were sick, had emotional problems. I think you would want them to get help.

Fortuantely YOU don’t get to decide who has a mental problem and needs treatment and who is just “bad”. Otherwise we might be like the soviet Union or China who just lock up people who are sick and those who aren’t.
