Re: London Olympics "Racist" Logo
Well Ill just say, they're weak and can't handle life.
Start a seperate thread on Schizo if you want. I havn't read up on it in years, but my conclusion form my research was that it is not an actual physical condition with the brain, hence why there is no cure.

Easily my favourite vealesy post of all time.
Just when you think there's nowhere else for him to go in the crazy stakes - BAM! He crashes right through that wall.

So what, it's a condition of the legs is it? I mean geez people, this paranoia against sections of the medical community is just ridiculous. Yes, Schizophrenia is a real illness, and no, psychiatrists and psychologists are not in some evil cable to convince us to buy drugs for illnesses we don't have. Yes, there is misdiagnosis, but the level of paranoia by the likes of vealesy is ridiculous. People do not naturally behave in such manners without some sort of reason. In reality, most of them just explore rabid delusions rather than the "deeper consciousness" (which you admit it has something to do with the brain).
I second J Moore's comment.

Steve Fielding has a "language disorder". The bloke on my tram who screams and hits himself in the face with the Herald-Sun is a schitzo.

No that's true, but one has to question your sanity for reading it in the first place!

Re: London Olympics "Racist" Logo
You don't strike me as a guy who revels in the cold hard facts of science anyway, given you entertain conspiracies about psychiatry and psychology lying to us about schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a legitimate illness, anything which causes you to entertain mass delusions and/or a rabid personality clearly isn't right.

Re: London Olympics "Racist" Logo
First two things that popped up:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/scienc...0923f9c5b4294396dd4405e3a2595745&searchtype=a
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1755-5949.2010.00220.x/abstract
If links don't work (quite likely, I'm on university internet which may grant special access) I'll replace them with references/links to abstracts.
There are plenty more studies that show concrete neurological differences between schizophrenic patients and controls. The broad differences are quite well established, even if the exact mechanisms are still an unknown.

Re: London Olympics "Racist" Logo
Yeh thanks for the links. The first was better than the second, as I couldnt get any further than the first page.
So there are differences in the neuro thingy paths (layman) that are used in the brain.
I still don't take this as proof that schizophrenia is a single form of disease that exists in the brain.
I dare say theres many people out there who function differently and use different parts to the brain than what the majority do.
It doesn't make it an illness just because you are different.
It just makes you a liability to the system of control if you bend the normal trends.
Many people in the real world can do things with their minds, that no university study has either proven or debunked.
How many pre-cognitive thinkers get misdiagnosed as mentally ill? Is there a study on that?

Re: London Olympics "Racist" Logo
He provided evidence, and only a tiny fraction of what's available at that, so to dismiss it with a few flippant lines expressing nothing but your personal musings is a bit bloody minded.
Perhaps you can provide a link to a few of these subjects you raise.

Re: London Olympics "Racist" Logo
Surely a link to those telling the anecdote is a form of evidence?

Re: London Olympics "Racist" Logo
Strange thing to say after you specifically asked for evidence to support another's claims?
Obviously you have none, not even anything you can write in your own words.
As I said previously you're voicing your opinion, nothing more.
Nothing wrong with that, but it's not a foundation for questioning established medical conditions or another's opinion which they can back with a raft of evidence..
