    I don't think ADHD is going to cause anyone to commit murder without a catalyst.

    "Normal" would be if the brain is functioning normally. If you are versed in neurobiology, then you know what that means. However, as mentioned earlier in this thread, thinking of mental health catagorically is probably wrong.

    ok, maybe you're onto something, so i'm going to agree with you on neurobiology.

    but i do have to remind you that you were the one who brought up the whole brain dysfunction thing.

    just because someone doesn't fit into socities definiton of posivitve manner doesn't mean they are not normal. Because societies definition is just an opinion of people who create definition and the rest who follow them and are afraid to think otherwise.

    that's what i said. by implication anything that does not fit inside the box is 'not normal'

    where's God at in all that?

    God is most likely a myth. If a supreme being exists, it does not concern it's self with human affairs.

    ever made love to a woman?

    can you have a discussion with someone without mentioning "see my penis" or "see my pants" when they are debating with you? i'm not saying you shouldn't say this, but those guys/ladies are trying to have a good ;) conversation with you and you just comeback with this.

    by saying to them "ever made love to a woman" you don't offend them.

    btw, my age is written in my profile ;)

    Life has always been survival of the fittest, and always is and will be that way. We evolved because we had this drive in us to succeed, and this determination is in our blood now. And yes, unfortunately people are self-centred, i've met so many people who couldn't give a shit about anyone but themselves. but thankfully i've also met some wonderful people who would help a stranger.......anyway back to the topic.

    So next time if i ever want to do something wrong to people around me, all i have to do is blame it all on how poor i'm how much of an underachiever i've been at school? should i say i've been pressured a lot, and then i just snapped? hmm.... there are lots of people in this world who are stressed, pressured and poor and yet not all of the are going around stealing and killing people. why? because they know right from wrong.

    also are you saying that you will not be angry and would not want to hurt person who hurt you? imagine this situation, group of teenagers on the street with nothing to do see you walking past them, and then one of them decides that it would be "fun" to burn you alive. so the light you up like a fucking cristmas tree and you burn, then you wake up in hospital and look at your body and you see your whole body disfigured, and from that day you can't walk. would you be so forgiving?? and would you not have a even tiny bit of thought of hurting those fuckers like they've hurt you? no matter what their reson was for doing this to you?

    This reminds me of the Christian who says "If it wasn't for the fear of God I'd kill my neighbour". That's troubling indeed, many atheists manage to lead cooperative lives without the fear of God. This individual should be examined for a mental illness, though I imagine the statement they made is rhetorical, as is yours.

    On the latter note, I have been burned by youth, when I was a youth. I live in this world too and I do more than my share of forgiving. I have no problem with it. I do not hold grudges against those people. I know they are ignorant. Instead, I'm trying to raise awareness and effectively change society so future humans aren't indoctrinated in our false beliefs.

    yes, i do understand and agree with the top part of your statement. as for the second paragraph....ah. these days there are so many diagnosis flying about its becoming ridiculous. ok, so let's picture this, suppose i am a very lazy girl, now if i go to doctor will he give me a diagnosis and give a name to my "problem". Just like depressed people do ;)

    Thyroid imbalance, insensitivity or underproduction of PPAR-Gamma, Leptin, Grehlin, etc...

    These aren't just labels, they are based in biological fact.

    i was merely stating the accepted definition. i was not saying that it was correct in its assumptions. when i said i was normal in that i'm not should have been an indicator to you in regards to my stance. tis very difficult at times to convey tone on here. :)

    wait why should i as an atheist be fearful of god who i don't believe in? sorry i couldn't understand what you meant in the top part.

    as for the second, well you are oh so forgiving. if that was me and i had an opportunity for a revenge i'd bloody well use it.....although that depends on what the other person did to me.

    Then as I said. God does not involve itself with human affairs.

    Pascal's wager can be addressed in a different way. If that's what you are aiming at.

    Pascal's Wager
    If I am wrong and God does exist then I go to hell. If I am right then I die and my existance ends. The former seems to have greater benefits.

    But Pascal's wager says nothing of the possible negative effects. If I'm wrong and God does exist then I'll go to hell and my life will be wasted. If I am right and God does not exist, then I won't have wasted my life worshipping a fictitious entity, furthermore, I won't have persisted in behavior based in a false belief, that may result in the suffering of others as well as myself.

    haha, well this depends how you look at those two words

    when i said "fucking administrator" i meant "yeah, nothing special just administrator, could've had a better job"

    i didn't mean i was actually fucking administrator for a living......erm, if that's what your dirty mind was thinking.

    or are you referring to me swearing, so that if i swear i'll be able to handle such things that you wrote?

    ok, but i still think that this kind of response is of no use in here, because i assume they want to have a proper discussion.
