Re: The Stigma of Psychiatry
For ten years I've given doctors the benefit of the doubt. I've heard their side of the story a million times. I know that they say "mental illness is just like diabetes" (it isn't). You say anti-psychiatry websites show one side of the story. You know what? Psychiatrists have one, one-si...

Re: The Stigma of Psychiatry
Lol, Hare receives royalties for use of a set of criteria he devised for the diagnosis of psychopathy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare_Psychopathy_Checklist) so it definitely suits his interests to play up the incidence of the condition as much as possible. Apparently people with psychopathic trai...

Re: A Life Less Noir ((OOC))
OK, have edited to include Rosie going mental, lulz... Lol, that track is... interesting- an improvement on the original, at least! I'm on a Black Keys stint at the moment after being reminded of their existence by the Misfits' soundtrack (incidentally, a fookin' hilarious black comedy TV series tha...

Re: The Stigma of Psychiatry
The second article about if Mental illness is real.... it says that there are no biological markers, but there have been. For an example, go read the book by the neurologist/psychologist Oliver Sacks about the Man who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and other case studies. He has found a lot of differen...

Re: A Life Less Noir ((OOC))
I'll edit with Rosie once I ascertain something (I might well be being spectacularly stupid)- Rosie doesn't know about Tommy taking a piece of lead to the thigh, does she? I have a feeling she is going to go ape-shit if she's about to find out now!

Re: A Life Less Noir
Jacqui pretended to fight Teddy off, all the whilst surreptitiously holding him closer to the base of her neck. "I guess," she replied airly. "But not too good; don't want ya to get even more boring than you are already, do I?" Succeeding in the battle against herself to push him...

Re: Feminism: Still Relevant?
Feminism, in its true form, is understanding the Self and comprehending what the feminine gender provides to the woman who wears it. Social and political feminism, which I accurately describe as pseudo-feminism is a useless waste. They will achieve nothing, or nothing good, because both stylistic c...

Re: Feminism: Still Relevant?
In the US: The Fortune 500 has 18 female CEOs and 1 in 10 have no women on their boards at all. The female:male earnings ration for full-time work is 0.77 (lower still if you're black or hispanic). 18.3% of women will survive attempted/completed rape in their lifetime. Women directed 7 percent of th...

Re: Tales of Albion
Lol, well I always knew that Rowan trees have been fairly significant in British folklore- they're traditionally planted in graveyards as a sort of hangover from pagan times when they were thought to catch evil spirits in their branches, I think... There's a couple of massively old ones in the grave...

Re: A Life Less Noir ((OOC))
Lol, Kit, bless him, is lovably naive. I also forgot to mention- it may or may not have been obvious but the bloke with the massive beard who let Faulkner out of his cell was maybe possibly perhaps Gwyn's father. Dun dun DUN! I have a vague plan for another flashback regarding the mention of Faulkne...

Re: Paradise Lost

Hi everyone! I'm somewhat of a late addition but hope to introduce my very own feral druid once the party is out on the road. Feel free to check out my character and do PM me if you have any nagging ideas for subplots/relationships/twists that involve her. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to getting i...
