Are extreme political opinions really just mental illness?

Internet Hero

I was talkin to a realy liberal guy in my college who said that he thinks people should be able to decide day to day if the feel like they are in a wheel chair. He also said that gays are better and more heroic people and that he cries every day because he is straight.

Today I have decided that no, I don't feel like I'm in a wheelchair.

Tombi!

I wouldn't say more heroic. I'd say more stubborn than average since they have no choice but sure it's no different than being black and wanting equality in America back when it was a lot worse.

As for your friend, give him a punch.

I don't think that's an extreme political opinion OP, most people I know do this already, openly they the feel like that most days.

It's not my thing mind but that just how I roll. But deffo not unusual nor extreme. Much more common than you'd the think.

1: He's talking shìte, nobody is better than anyone.

2: He should take a cock up the arse and see if that will make him stop crying straight-man tears.

Thread title, sane. Thread OP - insane. Seems to me anyway. That or a severe bump to the head followed by random stream of conciousness.

This is a ridiculous thread. The problem is people are way too often inclined to take the "safe middle ground" approach to everything, in spite of the fact that what's considered the "norm" may be "extreme" to others. People flock to the "norm" like sheep.

The idea that having an opinion that is at odds with the norm shows some sort of mental illness is just stupid.

Im not sure about mental illness apart from wanting to commit genocide but I do question the mentality of people with such extreme views and whether they relate to experiences in their own lives.

Richard Boyd Barrett for example. Was given up for adoption by actress Sinead Cusack, who would now be a very wealthy woman with her husband Simon Gruber. Brother of the late Hans Gruber and sometimes goes by the alias of Jeremy Irons.

Now Richard Boyd Barrett seems to be rebelling against the mother who gave him up for adoption by wanting to create a class war and telling the underclasses to rise up and take from the wealthy.

Saying that, Boyd Barrett was adopted by a fairly well off family. The chap just has parentage issues. He may have been bullied in his fee paying school also.

I went to school with him-he wasn't bullied, he was actually a very popular lad. Sound as well, as it happens.:) But waay not working class, very Killiney style.

So are you saying he inherited the family acting talent and is pretending to be a socialist while lining his pockets at our expense?

Why, are only the working classes allowed to hold socialist views?

If they're in a wheel chair they could be paralysed and so they decide some days to feel it.

Perfect sense..

Nobody said an extreme opinion is one you merely disagree with or that isn't pc - it's a fanatical, irrational one with no flexibility or basis in reality, whether right or left. It could be one that's too pc, militantly feminist etc. Agreeing with the Taliban or being rabidly communist - those are extreme political views.
I'd say such views could be symptoms of mental illness yes, e.g. that Phelps nutter.

Im sayin that he was sayin some days people feel like they are in a wheelchair because of how bad they feel so they are aloud to use wheelchair facilites on those days.. and he thinks that all men should feel ashamed for creating a soceity where women are not treated equaly. he is a hipster looking guy, as far as i can see he needs to step into the boxing gym with me and take a few jabs to the soup cooler. i am conserative

How did you manage not to laugh into his face. What age is he? How much money would you wager that those views will change by next year

Nah, but he's the sort of socialist that espouses workers rights etc while never having actually done any work. Think along the lines of Joe "Wurkahs" Higgins or Stutters De Rossa. Bit like the "I wanna live like common people" song.

So he's just a wanker that parks in disabled parking spaces, despite not actually being disabled and is trying to justify this behaviour in some way?
