Eh, I wouldn't hang my hat on the "invented conditions" idea. I think what happens is that real problems are being addressed, but meds may not be the proper treatment as often as thought. |
i'm mostly talking about marketing and pushing of certain drug products. |

I didn't say that. I certainly think anyone who would buy a house without having the right financial situation is an idiot and partly to blame. Greed and consumerism exists at every level, and I think it's a problem, but also human nature, and I think there ought to be checks against human nature when it interferes with the larger functioning of society... that's pretty basic. But it's not the borrower's job approve the loans, which should be one of the checks. In the case of our recent financial crisis, these were not checked, because the risk was passed on and ultimately the only people who were at risk were the people who weren't at the top. Sure those institutions collapsed, but not before a small group of people made off with a great deal of the money. |
Agreed. those making the loans (and rating the securities etc) share more responsibility than individual borrowers. I think there were plenty of people “at the top” that ended up shafted. Just check lehman bros.

you're so predictable.
in the interests of not allowing this thread to be derailed - anyone who is curious about the above remarks made by this troll who wants a history of the diagnosis of gender identity disorder can feel free to contact me for elaboration. |

Not trolling at all, simply pointing out that there are many medical or psychological issues that other people may dispute the existence of, but that doesn’t make them any LESS real to those who suffer them. it’s ironic that you would defend your own experiences so strongly, while dismissing others’ experiences as some kind of conspiracy between medical professionals and big pharma, and then attack me for “dismissing” your own issues.
I think you should stick with the worthless philosophy, you suck at real life discussion.
edited: replaced "more" with "less". |

nope, not trolling! :haha:
btw why was it exactly that you put the word 'dismissing' in quotations?
it makes absolutely no difference to me whether gender identity disorder is considered a medical disorder or not. in fact i'd rather it not be considered a disorder, because i think that comes from a outmoded way of thinking of gender, similarly to how homosexuality used to be considered a disorder in the DSM. the only reason it's useful to have it in there is because it makes it potentially insurable, but that never really happens anyway, and certainly hasn't for me. |

meaning I don’t really dismiss the very real gender disorders that people suffer from, I was merely making a point that it’s easy to dismiss something like that when you’re not the one dealing with it.

funny that a lot of cultures essentially do that as a rite of passage. i see it as body modification. btw sometime when you don't plan on eating, google 'penis bifurcation'.
also, not all transgender people want sexual reassignment surgery. ;) |

Hey, when she decided to become a women she really meant it, that means getting rid of the ability to form a coherent argument or debate rationally. |
