It is sad that so many remain who throw around words of abuse, and treat mental illness as a moral defect.

Indeed, abailart. When they start with euthanasia, I'll probably be first on the list.

My experience on the internet, specifically Clipmarks, has been so liberating. I have felt shut in and shut down communicationally all my life. This is the first time I have felt I have a voice and I can speak and express an opinion and I won't die if I'm attacked in return.

It was your clips specifically on mental illness that encouraged me, and made me feel it was safe enough to reveal that I suffered from depression and took medication. So, I thank you for that, abailart.

The way I see it, everyone I have interacted with on Clipmarks, both kind and nasty, have contributed to my liberation - they ...

The interesting thing is that if a society adopted such inhuman actions, the mindless meandering of the author would put him at the top of the tree.

Hey, we all can be nuts, and making wrong steps, and saying banal and stupid things. That's what make us humans. Much worst to repeat mistakes, stubbornly pile up stupidity one after another.
Thanks to Internet it made us more equal today. As Colonel Colt did in era of wild west.

on the contrary to the eejit in the clip
someone should tell him how some of the greatest minds,geniuses and contributers to mankind were labeled mentally ill at some stage
edison,oppenheimmer,david bohm,john nash ( a beautiful mind) to name a few
people thought henry ford was mad when he started dreaming of the motor car
where would we be without these people
in indigenous socities what would be called the mentally ill in our society were seen as gifted and became shamans and the most creative , wise, greatest members of the community
people labelled as mentally ill frequently have the most to offer to society
their orginality should not be condemned but put to good use

I'm actually extremely shy and sociophobic in "real life". Two prior major endogenous depressions also makes me painfully aware of the stigma associated with "mental disease".

Now, I'm just plain crazy in an uneventful and ordinary way.

Can I make a joke and say "lunacy pop!" without offending anyone? Hahaha! .

execute or euthanise those who are deemed worthless
Who will be the judge? Who gets to decide? Would we really benefit from having another Hitler running around? I think not.

I suppose the net is a safehaven for all sorts of misfits
it certainly provides plenty of conversation fodder
heres a perfect example of how eccentric people get on the net
