Democrats pressing Pelosi to step aside (AP) - 54 minutes ago

[DriXnaK]

No one wants to read about the future Republican total control of government. Let us continue to live for the next two years in a fantasy land that will never come again.

Fixed.

I wouldn't mind seeing her stay either. Unfortunately for her, the GOP has been successful in morphing her into a symbol of the American left that seems alien to Middle America. She's not very personable, so it was easy for them to do.

She may be like Newt Gingrich. He became toxic. I don't like him personally either. But in hindsight, he was an outstanding Speaker. We'll have to see how she fares in hindsight.

[DriXnaK]

Please don't compare Nancy Pelosi to Gingrich. I don't remember Gingrich using the military like his *****.

When one has consistently proven a lack of ability to think critically, objectively, converse reasonably, and also meets DSM-IV-TR criteria for a variety of Common Axis II disorders, I wouldn't be surprised if one's ability to either recall events accurately or provide an honest account of recollections were compromised. Regardless of the content is to be taken at face value or if the goal is an elaborate sarcastic hoax, the evaluation would be valid either way. The pattern of behavior is obviously pathological. But without a history of imaging scans and blood tests, it would be difficult to understand the complexity of the disorder(s). Brain trauma, nutritional deficiencies, congenital traits, environmental factors (both biological and chemical toxins) and emotional stressors should be factored into the patient study.

Narcissism is on that disorder list to be sure.

Savas, I'm amazed that you wouldn't keep your personal psychological assessment private. Kind of random for you to just post an excerpt from it though in this topic, don't you think?

Oh look! I say 'back at you'! I'm sooo clever!

"I know you are but what am I"?

When I translate the underlying theme of your message, the impulsivity and level of maturity leads me to suspect there was childhood trauma. I suspect you were a victim of bullying or perhaps parental abuse. You may interpret any perceived critical evaluations as an attack. Perhaps when engaged in intellectual discussions, you may see opposing points of view as personally hostile much the same way. With trauma like that, chemical lesions can form which disrupt the normal flow of receptors.

If you have ever tried medications and had unexpected or unsatisfactory results, this can perhaps be the reason why. A chemical lesion is not like a physical bruise. They can be treated. But often times requiring long periods of subtle adjustments with low dosages, routine imaging scans, and nutritional monitoring.

I'm offering some suggestions more for the rest of us that are subjected to you. Your experience may not be terribly unfulfilled at present, but your behavior (as I mention before) does conform with many anti-social disorders that many would find difficult to deal with.

I've had much experience dealing with individuals who have suffered traumatic brain injuries, suffer from mental health issues, and can be general pains in the butt. I'm in more of a position to do a public service now that I possess helpful knowledge.

No, I was actually being serious there with that considering you have always been a depressed emo on a cocktail of various anti-depressants.

This is a very general assessment. Essentially it's like listening to "Crossing Over with John Edwards." You should take your act on the road since it will probably bring you more money than turning tricks to get your full dosage of anti-depressants.

You seem to be speaking from experience. I've never had a need to take anti-depressants or any form of medication like you have. I also hope you're joking about doing public service and helping others. We really don't need the depressed pushing anti-depressants on others given the state of our society and the widespread dependence on them.

THANK YOU!!!

If you have no training in psych, any use you make of DSM is invalid. Especially on somebody you never observed in person. It's just an unusually nerdy flame combined with a fallacious claim to authority.

[giblets]

Nevertheless, Drixnak should probably go see a psychologist.

[Elok]

Wouldn't hurt, but the way he acts on the internet isn't a reliable indicator of his mental health. Unless he consistently talks about sexy little boys, that's a fifty-fifty that he's a really dumb pederast or one of b etor's old coworkers.

[DaShi]

We're not accusing him a being an Ecotard, yet.
