Acid attack facts

[Gandalf]

Okay, one response to that post as you asked nicely. I am saying that mental illness is a mixture of nature and nurture. There is a mental health epidemic. I will keep it as simple as that. Traits get passed down generically and they then frequently get passed on environmentally. Either way you end up with generational complications. The problem grows rather than diminishes. I am reading a fascinating book about it. It extrapolates well to describe serious mental health problems we have in society. 50% of all substance abusers have an underlying mental health condition. How many people abuse alcohol or drugs. It's a lot of people. I could go on, but it really moves away from acid attacks, but gangs are of course often made up of very messed up young people. Eugenics? FFS, you are weird saying things like that.

The Bell Curve = Eugenics. Stefan the sociopath Molyneaux = Eugenics. You have quoted from both. You are suggesting that there are clear links between genes and intelligence across the forum. It's not weird to point this out Miles. You are now extrapolating grand theories from studies of a small range of conditions. What is the book you are reading? I am not suggesting it is Mein Kampf just asking.

I haven't quoted either, but have suggested that there are IQ differentials between races and cultures. Again, I am no expert, but what I have read makes sense. I am not interested in feelings when it comes to these things, I am just interested in if it is true or not. I treat anyone I come across as an individual and they can be either above, below, or just average in intelligence. It really doesn't matter to me. I think it does matter when opening your borders though as we are not all the same. It is one factor among many. You have this habit of making blanket assertions about me and it is unfortunate. I think automatically you jump onto racism, misogyny and eugenics and I think that is a shame really. A calm, rational person wouldn't always do that.

I have an interest in mental health obviously and tend to read a lot of things written by psychologists. I find it a very interesting field and I think by learning about such things you can also discover more about yourself. The book name shall remain a secret though as I am a paranoid type and possibly doomed to a tragic end. Thankfully the only gang I ever joined was the Baggin's Clan. I even changed my name to bloody Gandalf.
