  Alas, he is all too right. Attempts to rationalize racism, whether or not with the rather silly faux erudition we see here, may be soon classified as a mental illness: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb4345/is_9_32/ai_n29126060/ http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb4345/is_9_32/ai_n291... No word on treatment options.

    I wasn't referring to the opinions, I was referring to the logic. As for implying that he is right in general because you have read an article that says that some people would like to be able, in the future, to look at classifying some racist behaviour among a very narrow class of people who already are displaying symptoms of schizophrenia, as being a part of their symptoms. Well, you seem as bonkers as he is. From your referenced article: "At present, the state of research is inadequate to suggest one course or another"

      And let's not forget Liam Stacey! We're skating on the edge here, neighbors - the very very edge. Big Twitter is in ur thoughts, making sure they "look good." It could be that everyone is crazy. You and I together, comrades! If the 20th century doesn't prove the possibility of universal political insanity, what does it prove? Why is the English-speaking world somehow magically exempt from this general condition - appearing in all other places east of the Channel and west of the Pacific?
