Psychiatrist Who Briefed Lawmakers on Trump's Mental State Is Reporting Him to Authorities As 'Dangerous' Threat
Click to expand...

It's actually considered poor practice for a psychiatrist to do that from a distance.

This week the Goldwater rule has come into focus – the convention that psychologists should not give an opinion about the mental state of a person they have not examined. Recently, the American Psychoanalytic Association (APsaA) emailed its members to remind them that they as individual practitioners are not bound by the Goldwater rule (which is a rule of the American Psychiatric Association, APA), and that they should feel free to offer fact-based but non-specific assessments of public figures - figures like Donald Trump.

Underlying this speculation about another person’s mental health is an unpleasant streak of prejudice. It is estimated that one in four people will experience a period of poor mental health. Yet illnesses such as depression, anxiety, disordered eating and bipolar are stigmatised, and personality traits such as narcissism, neuroticism and psychoticism are used as taunts. Mocking a person for their (supposed) mental condition is no different to mocking someone for their physical disability.

Crazy Lefties?

Loony Righties?

Anti social Innies?

Extrovert Outties?

Australian Dunnies?

Canadian Mounties?

American Cronies?

Athletes' Sore Knees??

It doesn't matter who you are, what your background is, what you believe or who you stick your penis into, or have stuck in you, or have substituted for the lack thereof of any sexual genitalia.... We should all just get along, hug each other and chill out.

For the Good of Peoplekind.

Too soon?

NDP MP Romeo Saganash says speaking Indigenous languages in Parliament is a ‘right’

"NDP MP Romeo Saganash addressed the House Procedure and Affairs Committee in his native Cree language on Tuesday to call for the right to speak Indigenous languages in Parliament and have the words properly translated in French and English, calling it a “constitutional and human right.”

Opening in Cree and then answering questions in English, Mr. Saganash (Abitibi-Baie-James-Nunavik-Eeyou, Que.) told the committee that before he arrived to Ottawa as an NDP MP in 2011, there was never a Cree word for “Member of Parliament.”

The first Cree from northern Quebec to be elected federally, Mr. Saganash said he spoke with local elders about creating a a new word, and reached one that translates into “he or she who speaks on your behalf,” and pronounced “yum-shta-ma-jeh-suu” (there is no current written word for it).

Speaking to The Hill Times after the meeting, Mr. Saganash said he hoped that he will be able to speak in Cree in the House and have it interpreted in real-time quite soon because “he won’t be back”—he’s not running for a seat in 2019."

"Asked by Liberal MP and committee member Filomena Tassi (Hamilton West-Ancaster-Dundas, Ont.) what a moment of being able to speak Cree in the House and have it interpreted into English and French would feel like, Mr. Saganash said “it won’t only be for me, it will be for all Indigenous.”

“It will be for all Canadians as a matter of fact. All of us. It’s going to be a victory for all of us.”

Sorry Mr Saganash but speaking Cree in the HoC is not a right. Canada has two official languages and Cree is not one of them. The only victory, if this foolishness is allowed, will be for all the bureaucrats hired to translate both in the House and for all documents of any proceedings where the language is used. The last thing we need is more bureaucrats especially in aid of a language that a very tiny percentage of Canadians speak or will ever speak. In addition to that, there are many other tribes that do not speak Cree having a language of their own so this will in no way be a victory for them either.

What is it with people the past few years? I guess almost everyone feels they are entitled.

Kinda funny watching the right wingnut bull goose loony trying to convincing everybody that the left is loonier than he is.
Anybody who is on the far right or the far left is loonier than someone with multiple personality disorder.
