[QUOTE="Eight Foot Manchild, post: 72337313, member: 268751"] Nope. Mentally ill people are [B]not[/B] more likely to commit acts of violence. That ancient, vacuous canard is dead and buried. All it does is stigmatize people who suffer with mental illness. [URL='https://cmhadurham.ca/finding-help/the-myth-of-violence-and-mental-illness/']The Myth of Violence and Mental Illness - CMHA Durham[/URL] Just one of many links you can't find on the subject. In fact, the mentally ill are statistically much more likely to be the [B]victims[/B] of violence than the perpetrators. That's not to say mentally ill people don't commit these kind of violent acts, but there is no indication that it is a primary cause of the problem we have in this country. That is at least worth talking about, though I worry about it infringing on privacy. Depends how it's handled. Nope. If you want to live in a theocracy, you are welcome to move to one. I will gladly pay for your plane ticket out of my country. Nope. There is no substantial evidence for any causal link between consumption of violent media of any kind and violent behavior. Plenty of correlation, of course, but no causation. [/QUOTE]
