  • Ah yeah really well thought out genius. Just give the paranoid schizophrenic a hammer and send him out the door. Some mental illness causes people to be dangerous to themselves and others. Others are just totally disruptive to all around. And it is the mind. You can literally see the differences on a brain scan.

    • I never said to just let them go. If someone is guilty of behavior showing they are dangerous, charge them, convict them, and if it seems unlikely they are about to behave themselves deny them parole.

      How do you know the brain doesn't confiureg according to the energy demands people place upon it with their behavior? At least for some cases this could be the reason for the difference and if the person changed their behavior the chemistry would change along with itthugh o even then that's not the point. The behavior's all of relevance. If a person had brain chemistry that looked like a "disorder" but never behaved dangerously or even like any symptoms it would be absurd to say they were still ill. Thus, it really does come down to behavior. Mind alteration should be offered to inmates hoping for parole and wanting to show they will behave. But it should be made about the behavior.

      • Extraversion and introversion look differently on brain scans but neither is considered a disorder. Hence social disapproval is necessary for something to be a disorder. There are definitely things society should disapprove of but a person is more likely to change if they focus on changing their behavior and not obsessing over their thoughts. If you focus on what needs to be done that is more productive than trying to change your thoughts and then change behavior indirectly.
        Criminals should be treated as criminals and not mollycoddled and told they are ill.

          • There were different faces as you scan through the frames. It morph's from a happy face to a mad face. Here are some clips from my CT scan.

            replace "slash" with / and replace "dot" with .

            HAPPY BRAIN
            tinypic dot com slash r/34ff7lh/5

            MAD BRAIN
            tinypic dot com slash r/wmmcsg/5

              • It works for me. You must be doing it wrong.

                You cannot post links here so the way I did it you need to copy and paste them and do the edits I described.

                1. Replace the word "dot" with a period (.)
                2. Replace the word "slash" with a slash (/)
                3. Take out the spaces

        • Gosh, I don't know much about MRIs. I just want to know what my brain looks like; curious as to whether or not it resembles the brain of an insane person and if so what sort of mad woman.
