What if you're a gay Nazi? Is that only double bad, or does it increase exponentially?

If I was only speaking based off of a single perfunctory web search, no, I wouldn't feel any need to comment on a topic. I'm amused you assume such is the case, but that's probably just disingenuous argumentation at work.

I'm not assuming anything, just getting some background is all. No need for hostility. The unevenness of your interest certainly is, well, interesting though, especially as a man of science. Surely any politicization of science is equally worthy of your attention, no? Not just a shrug? What is it about homosexuality that makes you more willing to wade in, do the necessary intellectual work and declare it politicized than hysteria?

He's not a man of science when it comes to psych. He has a technical background in an unrelated field.

"Man of science," my rusty metal ass.

Be careful mate, it's not really smart of people living in glasshouses to be so eager to throw stones.

Might want to be weary of that yourself, friendo.

You're Pro-Choice. You want to control women's bodies. You're a sexist.

[USS Monitor]

This from a guy who has spent several pages ranting about how gay people are mentally ill. You are really obtuse. That or a highly skilled troll

No comment on the troll thing because I'm a participant in the thread and don't want to self-moderate. But don't call people obtuse.

If you feel like wandering over to the APA's website, it explicitly notes that the removal of homosexuality from the DSM was done on account of three reasons: disagreement in the psychology community as to the extent it could be classified as a primary presenting dysfunction, changing cultural norms, and the emergence of a politically active gay community.

Those last two points are the rub for me. I'm a man of science, and to change medical diagnosis or indeed any professional categorization or general practices on account of politics is fraught with peril, whether it be in psychology, climatology, or what have you. Cultural sentiment shouldn't ignore the science of climate change, but neither should cultural sentiment take aspects of dysfunctional psychology and decide that maladaption is actually normality simply because the popularity of a concept has changed.

So I assume that as a man of science and of sticking to your proposition, you're equally on the record as being for re-classifying hysteria as a mental disorder and championing lobotomies as a beneficial psychiatric surgery? Both were discontinued in part due to 'changing cultural norms' and political action, after all.

Drapetomania is serious business, man. It's political correctness run amok how they don't treat that as an illness anymore.

That's a new one.

Is it against the rules?

Appealed.

[Sernarbia]

Is it against the rules?

Yes.

Why?

[Manaime]

Yes.

Why?

Because it is. Vulgar language can insult other people, you know.

[USS Monitor]

Yes.

Why?

Because it's flaming. It's attacking the poster rather than their argument.

Now would it be possible to start moseying back toward the topic of the thread? We've gotten rather lost in the weeds.

Oversensitive Trumpists are suing CNN and SPLC because they don't understand how defamation laws work.

Here's hoping they get stuck with a metric asston in legal bills and maybe even a countersuit.

Just your daily reminder that the people who blubber the loudest about the 'pc police' and 'free speech' and praise Trump's foul-mouthed grade school bully routine as 'telling it like it is' are in fact the most thin-skinned, easily-triggered, safe space demanding whiny little snowflakes around.

But hey, I'm down, I'll happily join Obama and the Clintons and other Democrats and liberals in a class action lawsuit against...all of conservative media for..everything they've said over the last 30 years or so. I mean, my reputation has definitely been damaged just from constantly being called an America-hating socialist terrorist supporting immoral freeloader, I can only imagine that Hillary would probably be awarded the first born children of most of the GOP in recompense for all the wild shit they've said about her.

Which ironically would just trigger more wild conspiracy theories and thus let her sue them again!
