dont seem like good particularly counter arguments

Some punctuation would help here, that's for sure.

How about you respond to he questions/arguments put to you, rather than get all triggered by mean words.

 

[Wilf]

But as 'please fuck off' it was weak, limp even. A little smug.

'please, fuck off' on the other hand would convey authority, the grown up, a serious person.

The former relies upon the backing of others. The latter stands upon its own gusto.

Something to think about

'Won't you pleease fuck off?' - conveys a languid ennui, sort of thing Hans Gruber would say to that twat John McClane when he refused to die
'Fuck off Hans' - the sort of thing Bruce Willis would say, because he's a shit actor

 

[Orang Utan]

fuck off

bollocks

crap trolling

juvenile absolutism is not a good counter argument

But 'Hans, fuck off' would convey that Bruce had serious, adult stuff to be doing; no time for hans' childish nonsense.

So there are mental illnesses which exist purely as 'irrational delusions' (of which Islam is an example), or Islam contains 'symptoms' of other categories (e.g. disorganised thoughts)

Was this supposed to be a question? If so. I don't need to be an expert on mental illness to know that delusions are one.

Typo not grammar.

   When I used to ride the Chiltern's line (to which I look back fondly, my god I hate southern rail), the sign read 'Please, keep your feet off the seats'.
   
   The comma added humanity, if not an element of passive-aggression, to the request.
   Actually saying both iterations aloud makes me rethink that.
   
   'Please keep your feet off the seats' doesn't sound passive aggressive, but it is passive, in a weary way.
   
   'Please, keep your feet off the seats'' has more oomph to it. A muscular quality. If a little sharp.

   It has a weary Do I really have to say this? quality to it.

   Spot on. It absolutely does both those things.
   
   tbh wilf just comes across as insincere without the comma.
   There was a comma and I italicised, it was like sincerity central. Oh, sorry, sincerity central.

   definitely was the word I was looking for but, interpretive text did it better
   Fuck grammar.

 

[xenon]

No, you're coming out with the sort of shite that equates belief systems with mental illness, in a way that somehow manages to insult both the religious and the mentally ill.

He's giving simpletons a bad name as well. A bit unkind is probably only about 16. Going through that phase of thinking or religious people are mad.

 

[Wilf]

I bet I don't. I believe in very little.

interpretive text

Is that from one of those dangerous handheld gadgets then? Call Special Branch!

 

[green.tea]

juvenile absolutism is not a good counter argument

It's only absolutism in so much as already exists in the mental health act. I'm simply saying that it should be applied with consisnency. The idea that the number of people holding the same sort of delusion factors in to ideas about how to treat a delusional indivdual is wrong.

 

[Wilf]

But 'Hans, fuck off' would convey that Bruce had serious, adult stuff to be doing; no time for hans' childish nonsense.

He should also put some shoes on.

 

[Shechemite]

So give us an example of diagnosable condition (not merely a diagnostic criterion - you know the difference, of course) that pertains only to delusional thoughts

Consistency, thanks

TBF I'm impressed by the consistency of your posting over many subjects of late .... well planned!

We get it, you're an atheist, well done. Now grow up.

Best avoided on here. Someone might expose your deluded impression that you'll get away with this multi-thread tourism for much longer ....

Bugger off, only on U75 could you end up having a discussion on terrorist events being derailed into a lesson on grammar, comforting actually, in the wider context.

delusional disorder

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has long thought himself the best footballer in the world, when even at his peak he was no better than 3rd best. Incarcerate him with the Chief Rabbi and that Sufi bloke called Arnold who lives down our street?

Did the weapons discussion ever get round to the Broomhandled Mauser? Peter Kaye would have been disappointed.

No, you came out with a ridiculous statement and you are doing a really shit job of defending it.

delusional disorder

An obscure diagnosis, which is rarely (even amongst MH SUs) given.

But like you said, you're no expert

 

[littlebabyjesus]

To drag this back on track, there is a discussion to be had here about the motivation of suicide bombers. And in this, Robert Pape's words are relevant, I think:

What 95 percent of all suicide attacks have in common, since 1980, is not religion, but a specific strategic motivation to respond to a military intervention, often specifically a military occupation, of territory that the terrorists view as their homeland or prize greatly. From Lebanon and the West Bank in the 80s and 90s, to Iraq and Afghanistan, and up through the Paris suicide attacks we’ve just experienced in the last days, military intervention—and specifically when the military intervention is occupying territory—that’s what prompts suicide terrorism more than anything else.

Here’s What a Man Who Studied Every Suicide Attack in the World Says About ISIS’ Motives

If you want to understand the phenomenon, you have to look behind the religious rhetoric, basically. Pape's well worth reading.

You think you're up for a First in this Tourist Studies malarkey, but with your lack of revision, you'll soon be on a Third** at best.
