Religious fundamentalism could soon be treated as mental illness
Kathleen Taylor, a neurologist at Oxford University, said that recent developments suggest that we will soon be able to treat religious fundamentalism and other forms of ideological beliefs potentially harmful to society as a form of mental illness.
She made the assertion during a talk at the Hay Literary Festival in Wales on Wednesday. She said that radicalizing ideologies may soon be viewed not as being of personal choice or free will but as a category of mental disorder. She said new developments in neuroscience could make it possible to consider extremists as people with mental illness rather than criminals.
She told The Times of London: "One of the surprises may be to see people with certain beliefs as people who can be treated. Someone who has for example become radicalized to a cult ideology -- we might stop seeing that as a personal choice that they have chosen as a result of pure free will and may start treating it as some kind of mental disturbance."
Taylor admits that the scope of what could end up being labelled "fundamentalist" is expansive. She continued: "I am not just talking about the obvious candidates like radical Islam or some of the more extreme cults. I am talking about things like the belief that it is OK to beat your children. These beliefs are very harmful but are not normally categorized as mental illness. In many ways that could be a very positive thing because there are no doubt beliefs in our society that do a heck of a lot of damage, that really do a lot of harm."

Of course it is Frosty. Labelling people as crazy who happen to have views outside the perceived mainstream is nothing new. This was a common tactic under Mao's reign of terror. We are really on a slippery sl@pe if that happens.

I'm a non believer, but right to worship peacefully should be a right.
Government should never be the state religion, not the sick liberal education system either.

That's exactly what we had under Mao. My Mommy was 15 I believe when Mao died. She told me at the time, it was as if her god had died. She told me 10 years later she couldn't remember anything good about him.

Mao, Stalin, the joke that is ruling North Korea, Obama even, none are gods, or worth looking up at.

It's long been suspected that far left liberalism, was a mental illness.
We know this to be true because all one has to do is look at or listen to someone like Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, or Debbie Wasserman Schultz and it's all the proof you need.
For all you Canadians that may not know, those people I just mentioned are bat-shit, left-wing, "dementocrat", political figures here in the US. I don't think a dumber and more out of touch with reality crew of politicians can be found in the western world.

Yes, they love to replace their reality with reality, it is a mental issue for sure.
Not that all liberals are that bad, but it don't take many to make them all look bad, especially when they keep voting for the nut cases.

No, I hate the word "awesome". It's one of the most over-used and misused words in the the average persons vocab.
"Heavyset", "full-figured", "rubenesque" or even, OMG...."fat" is fine with me.
You are probably thinking of her now because when she was younger she wasn't all that heavy. In fact personally I think she kinda hit the wall of late. She used to be very attractive years ago but now she is kind of a wreck.

I have seen old and new(er) pics of her. I thought she was pretty when she was young even though she had a deeper voice than most men. However, one pic I saw of her looked like she gained about 45 kgs. I realize she's probably 60+ by now, but the physical transformation was not a graceful one. I am sure this is why she hasn't worked in gawd knows how long.

Yeah, she has that sort of Carrie Fisher syndrome going on, only without the headcase issues.
When she was young she was really cute but now she looks like that crazy old aunt that a lot of families have who lives in some dilapidated house with 30 cats.

I have a great aunt and a cousin that have or had it. My great aunt has been passed for several years now but she ended up wheelchair bound in the final 5 or so years of her life. My cousin who is two years younger than me, looks like she is 20 years older. The pain and joint damage the disease causes just sucks the life out of you. And if you don't tolerate the meds well, they take there toll as well.

Socialist ideologues like this so-called college professor don't believe in a God; just ask Romero.
In her point of view, God doesn't exist right out of the gate. Her attitude would be "proof be damned", we don't need no stinking proof.
If she follows the typical mold of the typical prog/socialist then she firmly believes that she is smarter and more enlightened than the cave dwellers believing in in God. In her view, God is a superstition or a myth much like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy. The typical elitist prog believes that people who believe in God are one step away from being little more than ignorant savages, frightened of the dark. They may deny it publicly that they feel that way because after all, you have to keep up the "we're in the tolerant club" charade. But in private they are generally very disdainful of anyone that doesn't conform to their ideology and that goes for any one that they consider a slave to religious dogma.

You're skirting the issue once again, big surprise.
Show me where I said that non-belief or criticism of religion were the ONLY qualifications for being an elitist prog.
BTW, don't lie. You don't really respect religions because logically you can't. You believe that God doesn't exist because science told you so. God or the word of God is the foundation of all religions. If you don't believe in the foundation of religion then how can you respect it? So now you are respecting things that in your mind, don't exist?
You may be completely clueless but one thing is certain, you sure are entertaining.

Two can play this game.
Show me where I indicated that criticism of organized religion or disbelief was the ONLY qualifier for being a elitist prog.
BTW, I don't have to show you how you disrespect religion. Your own belief structure does that for me. Again if you don't believe in the premise and foundation of religion then how can you respect it? In your case you can only respect the people that practice and not the religion by itself. You cannot respect what you do not believe in.
Just answer the questions and stop being silly, for once in your life.

I don't believe I'm smarter and more enlightened than anyone who believes God, and I don't think that people who believe in God are one step away from being little more than ignorant savages.
I've always respected other's beliefs.

I don't have to believe in the premises and foundations for religions to respect them. I respect everyone's beliefs. I only care whether people are good are not.Quote from: "Romero"

Twist it how you like but telling people that the foundation and premise of their belief system doesn't exist is not being very respectful. How you can justify it is beyond anything rational. Again, you cannot respect what in your mind does not exist. Show me one example of how that works.
People like to say that they are respectful of other people's religion only because it makes them look PC and we all know you are all about looking PC.
Stop being a ninny and face the reality of your own bullshit.

From that you assume I want to have religious people labelled mentally ill??
My parents were just kids at the time, but they know what it is like to live under that kind of tyranny. I will gladly hold my nose around bible thumpers than have jackassbooted lefties "treat" their illness.

I was a tad offended and it takes a lot to offend me. To suggest that I advocate Maoist tactics on bible thumpers is offensive. My parents know all too well how dangerous that shit is.

You quoted her words and then asked me if she was a prog. By doing so you were indirectly insinuating that Shen was the kind of douche that would look down on people or treat them as mentally ill for their religious beliefs.
I think you need to man up and apologize instead of continuing with your A-typical circle jerk.

Many years ago I went to school with a Russian college student who told me that homosexuality was forbidden in "Soviet Union". He said they used to jail anyone caught openly practicing a homosexual lifestyle. He also claimed that because of this policy of imprisoning gays, homosexuality didn't exist in in Russia and that it was only a morally corrupt western social phenomenon.Quote from: "Renee"

Nice place if you like sunlight glinting off of razor wire, stray dogs and smelly Rastafarians with roving hands.

Ocho Rios. We stayed as Sandals Grand Riviera. I'm not a big fan of all inclusive resorts like Sandals but it was a good deal and it was at a time when the husband and I Desperately need to get away for some alone time.
Don't get me wrong the resort was nice and the beach was pretty but some of the surrounding area was really shitty. I'm used to Aruba and the Yucatan; IMHO it's much nicer

I have absolutely no desire to go to Cuba and I think that sentiment is echoed by a lot of Americans, so once the curiosity wears off, I wouldn't expect to see tons of American there. If I want to go to Cuba, I'll stay in Miami.
Politics aside, we have more than enough mediocre to shitty Caribbean islands to visit, we really don't need another one. With a few exceptions, once you've seen one, you've seen them all.

Granted Jamaica does have a somewhat unique cuisine in terms of the spices used but in the end they all live on various recipes made up of mostly rice and plantains.
linguistically many of the islands are somewhat different from each other but does that really make them different? The accent and linguistics are determined by what European power once controlled them. Cuba like central and south America is one of the exceptions because they kept a strong Spanish influence in their language. They have also been some-what culturally/politically and economically isolated for over 50 years from a lot of the western hemisphere.
BTW, of course they differ geographically. No two countries can occupy the same spot on the globe.
I think you mean the terrain or topography is different. Jamaica is mountainous while Cuba is.......Oh I don't know......landfill?

Yep and Bahamas is different from both of them. I felt Jamaica and Cuba were different and each unique. The effects of communism have left a very pronounced mark on the people and their culture. People were very friendly, but the food was really bad.

Traditional British food=overpriced slop that isn't good for you...YUCK!! Says the queen of KFC. ac_lmfao
BTW, the best tasting food is almost always not good for you.ac_biggrin
Good point. Damn, I love those deep fried birds.
It will be a while before I chance that stuff again.
I've scratched KFC along with Taco Hell off my fast food short list.

KFC has flavour though. Mushed peas, black pudding and greasy meat pies do not.

Actually Mushy peas if made correctly is not bad.
As far as Traditional Brit food goes I like, Fish and Chips, Shepard's pie, Bangers and Mash and Bubble and Squeak. Steak and Kidney Pie isn't bad either as long as to don't eat the kindly part......Gross. Of course like all food if the cook is bad so is the food.
But then again I'll eat just about anything that isn't nailed down and I'll try just about anything.....once. So I may not be the best one to give an opinion of British food.

Big YUCK to all that crap. Even their famous fish and chips is gross. The only European cuisines I like are Italian and Greek. I didn't start getting into Greek until later, but I have really developed a taste for it.
We have a lot of people of Ukrainian origin around here and the food is everywhere. I think it's overrated though.

I also like German food which a lot of people don't like, especially the deserts.
As bad as British food may seem to you it's delicious compared to what the Scots and the Irish eat. Haggis and potted noddles; pig trotters, tripe and boiled potatos.....Blech!!!!!
If I won't eat it, you know it's got to be bad.

One thing I remember about Dublin was this kind of small, but very dense bread. They usually put marmalade on it. Almost like a dessert to me. One piece is more than enough though as it's heavy and the marmalade is pure sugar. I wish I could remember the name of that bread.
Hey, saw the Wambo imitation on VF...pretty damned funny.

I couldn't resist.
You are probably referring to Irish brown bread. It has no yeast in it so it tends to be real dense and heavy like a brick.
Traditional ethnic Irish food is peasant food. It needed to be stretched far and be extremely filling. It's made up of scraps of God knows what and it sits in your gut like lead. As they say; when the Irish slaughter a pig, they use everything but the grunt. Most times you don't really want to know what you are eating.

I didn't find a great deal of diff between meals in Ireland and England. However, English breakfasts use brown beans more often than on the Emerald Isle. A full Irish breakfast is fucking heavy. You don't want to do anything after one of them.
