What's with all these bi-polar people?

[CFH]

To be fair, I am willing to keep to thread topics unless someone else deviates from it. I've no issues with anyone, but can see why me and Bilbo going off on the god thing can seem a bit annoying. We should probably keep all that in some super thread somewhere.

I would be happy to stick that thread at the top of the Let's Get It On board for you.

[Kev]

Ok, seriously Bilbo/Miles, it's getting damn tiring of you guys trying to turn every thread into a debate about your respective beliefs regarding God. This is actually a pretty interesting topic & it doesn't need to be about Miles lack of belief in God rather his lack of understanding for people with mental illness. So what if there are some contradictions in it, we're all contradictory in our beliefs.

This x1000. It's seriously fucking annoying, so much so that I almost always automatically stop posting in any thread that you guys turn into a philosophical wack-off contest.

Such intolerance, hostility and anger issues.

To be honest I only really post nowadays to talk to Miles. Post's I'm not interested in I just skip past and ignore.

There are many threads I don't even enter as the subject/poster don't interest me. I don't go in to complain though, that would just be rude.

I wasn't trying to be mean, just honest. It's something that happens in almost every off-topic thread you guys participate in and it has just gotten to be a bit much.

Fair enough, actually you're never really a rude person just very blunt sometimes.

Also I've had a niggle with you ever since you reprimanded for my calling a Japanese man by an abbrievated form. I know you edited it afterwards but the veiled banning threat made me simmer slighty as I was thinking to myself how many fucking years have you known me to suddenly suggest I might have a racist attitude towards the Japanese? I mean it's not like I create threads weekly about their imperialistic aggression or right to exist...

And then the site went down and I checked with downforeveryoneorjustme.com and it said the site was up so I thought you might actually have banned me.

I almost had a Miles moment when he had his second mental breakdown on Saddo's after Youngblood stealth sad clicked (his first being the Yuri Forman incident) and I was thinking what I could do to express my righteous indignation. And all I could think was unfriending you on facebook so that you would feel the loss. And then I thought you might not even notice and it would get to me if you didn't mention it and I'd end up being tormented about why you didn't notice and refriend request me.

And then the site came back and I realised you hadn't banned me after all and I was annoyed because I had invested a lot of energy into the fall out in my head and didn't want to give it up.

So I when you called me boring I thought it was an opportunity to be beligerrent and tetchy and maybe have a public spat. But then you went and followed up in a sane and non hostille way and took the wind out of my sails a bit and now I'm not sure that you are so unreasonable after all.

But I'm still a bit tetchy and annoyed that once again I wasted energy on an imaginary feud in my head

Go fuck yourself. That make you feel better?

I wasn't outright threatening to ban you per se, I was just saying that anyone who persists in using racist terms would be banned, including long-term members like yourself. I know you didn't intend it to be racist, which is why I edited my post, but it is a term with a long, racist history behind it.

It's funny you'd call me 'blunt' on here, because I often find myself wishing I could be more blunt in real life. Maybe that just comes out on here.

Anyways, before I make myself a total hypocrite by completely derailing this thread, I would like to add that anyone who depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, or any mental health problems are not serious and can just be shaken off or whatever are stuck in the dark ages and they can fuck right off. The widespread nature of those types of attitudes keep people from getting the help they need and this leads directly to a low quality of life for mentally ill people and even death.

And I didn't call you boring, I called you (and Miles) annoying.

Oh yes Miles has annoyed me too, at least in relation to the Japanese. Firstly he actually used the very same word in the hidden board and you posted underneath with no reprimand, so i feel he got away with it.

Secondly he also mentioned admiring that 'nice man from the Japanese mainland' which I believe discriminates against any Japanese not living on the main bit, as if to say their bit is minor.

If that isn't an attempt at creating some kind of social regional divide I don't know what is, so I think he should be in future instructed to refer to the island of Japan rather than mainland.

I think we merit our own Bilbo and Miles Get It On Board. We could alternate modship on rotating weeks and ban the other from the board for that time and fill it with our own thoughts, only to see them deleted and replace the following week.

I usually skip over most of Miles posts, so I must've missed that one. Why don't I just cut right to the chase and ban him permanently?

My life would be empty without him. Wherever he was banished too I'd have to follow him. Maybe win win for the site?

just a foot note to this thread,

There is such a vast difference between depression which so many experience, know and understand, to which you most certainly fit all the criteria for being familiar with miles, and bi polar, which is depression and sanity's evil counterpart, via gross psychosis often in the name of mania. They almost shouldn't even be discussed within the same parameters.

True, and having done a little googling in the past 24 hours I feel I am a lot more clued up. The OP was a bit of a rant with a spoonful of ignorance thrown in for good measure, but having gone through a few pages on here and doing the searching I realise that I was being a bit crass and somewhat unfair to the mentalists.

Like I say, I am quite content for everyone to have a mental problem now and for them to do whatever they think is right to deal with it. I have liberalised on this issue.

[Gandalf]

I don't remember saying 'Jap'....must have been having a binge.

[Youngblood]

a brief descriptive difference between depression and bi polar, extrapolated. So you understand a bit more just how silly it is to rally against meds.

Let's speak in terms of death.

Depression untreated can and does cause people to commit suicide. A bi polar psychotic person untreated is more the type you'll see driving down the road with the 4 severed heads of their family in the car, just freshly cut off, laughing, singing, talking to them, and off to Disneyland for the weekend without a care in the world.

I'll let them know

[BIG H]

Mental illness is a very real problem and just because you can deal with your "problems" doesn't mean other people can and it certainly doesn't mean that they don't experience things in a much different way than you do. Honestly, I think your post smacks of ignorance and is typical of the types of attitudes which make it difficult for people with mental health problems to get the help they need.

I haven't read past this post (and Mile you know I love you dude) but CFH has nailed it with that post.

I am not Bi-Polar or depressed (I have been depressed and it is a living hell!!!) Pisses me off when people say things like 'pull your self together' etc, you wouldn't ask a person in a wheelchair to get stop being lazy and get up and walk!

I've just read some more of this thread and to be honest it is winding me up so much I can't read anymore.

There is some silly cunt bird on daytime T.V that was spouting off about overweight people the other day and saying "it's quite simple, you just need to have some self control and discipline" Just eat less and exercise more" "There is no excise for being overweight, it is just greed and laziness" My advise to her and anybody else is keep you mouth shut about things you know nothing about. Yes, some people are lazy fat greedy wasters and regards depressions, some people have a couple of bad days and start with "Ooh I'm depressed" but don't generalize, mental health is a huge issue. Why can people be physcical unwell, but not mentally. When somebody has stomach bug, should they just tell themselves that they are better and then it will be so? The brain is so complex and even the slightest imbalance somewhere can cause huge problems for people.

Anybody that thinks depression is for the weak and that that everybody has bad days and you should just 'pull yourself together and be strong', I sincerely hope you get severe clinical depression and then I would like to hear your views on the subject.

[El Kabong]

I think we merit our own Bilbo and Miles Get It On Board. We could alternate modship on rotating weeks and ban the other from the board for that time and fill it with our own thoughts, only to see them deleted and replace the following week.

...that is all

so are you saying the reason you are fat is because you are also mental?

That is absolutely possible mate
