Maurice Clemmons: Mental Illness Does Cause Violence
Commented Dec 01, 2009 at 16:55:57 in Living
“I don't want to return to the days when people were routinely consigned to mental institutions and were unable to leave even if they could have lived independently or in an assisted-living facility. There should be more effective community support, but there also should be an increase in the number of beds available in long-term care facilities.”

“I also want to add that Paul was finally placed in a long-term care facility a year before he died. Why? Because he had emphysema so bad he was having recurring bouts of pneumonia. We found out months later that the real cause was lung cancer. He was only 48 when he died. I now have to celebrate our 50th birthday without my twin.
To think that his emphysema, not his schizophrenia, qualified him for Medicaid is criminal. It took a deathly illness to get him the care he needed.
At least he died in a place that cared about him as a person first, who happened to be mentally ill. I am very grateful for that.
Please support H.R. 619 which would repeal the IMD Exclusion.”

“Pay attention the school recruited him, do you not think they knew who his father was and how loyal he is to Nike. Give me a break, the school told him what they knew he wanted to hear. This not about the young man here. This is about the adults.”

Remembering Pfc. Barry Winchell on the 10th Anniversary of His Murder
Commented Jul 08, 2009 at 12:25:09 in Politics
“I somehow doubt the UCMJ is enlightened enough to recognize the difference between a man and a transwoman, and I don't blame Winchell for not caring to find out the hard way how his commanders would react to his reporting "I'm being harassed because I'm in a relationship with someone who was born a man."”

“It may not have back then but it certainly does now.
As long as he didn't say that he gay, he'd be in the clear. The first part of the policy is "don't ask". Now if he let it be known to his room mate (and I don't know how his room mate discovered it, or even if he did) then he violated the second part of the phrase and, in effect, didn't live up to his part of the bargain.”

Peter King: Michael Jackson A 'Pervert' And 'Low-Life' (VIDEO)

“He doesn't. He's drawing a false dichotomy between "society" (just about as specific as the "they" who say it's going to rain) glorifying Michael Jackson and glorifying teacher, firefighters, etc. There is quite a lot of respect for all of those people, but they weren't going to end up on the front page of news regardless of what celebrity died.”

“I don't see why this should be considered a valid reason for upholding the current policy. Working with people from different backgrounds is part of the job, and anyone should be trained better or booted. Not all recruits are from backgrounds where women are respected, either, but I expect that a soldier who refused to work with female personnel or refused to obey orders from a female commander wouldn't be tolerated.”

“How does it serve the military to invest thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars in training for linguists, pilots, medics and others and then kick them out regardless of whether or not they have harmed unit cohesion? I suppose it serve a purpose for sexual harassers in the military, by giving them leverage over female victims, but is that really something that should be continued?”

“Well I doubt anyone is comfortable in that situation, but don't you think that would make things even less comfortable?”

“Doesn't bother me. Im usually too busy dealing with what Im doing in the shower to worry what anyone else is doing in the shower, so I probably wouldn't even notice if a woman walked in the room and started showeing next to me”

“I really can't fathom why people keep bringing up this point as though it's persuasive. I've rarely heard gay or straight people discuss their sexual activities at work, but people discuss their romantic, social and family lives all the damned time. Unless your workplace requires a vow of silence or you work exclusively alone, there's no way to avoid hearing about what people and their spouses did over the weekend or whose kids are selling cookies or where people went out for drinks.”
