Congratulations PublicEnemy#1, you win your very own special title.

Feels kind of like being "bested in a debate" by a schizophrenic guy yelling at you on the street corner (who it appears, given the clear outcome of this discussion should be held personally responsible for his condition)

Tim,

FWIW, "advocatus diaboli" would be the more appropriate title.



Deejayoh, perhaps the schizophrenic should have made the decision to take his drugs to keep it at bay and to continue regular treatment so he could live a normal life. He elected not to get drugs and treatment so he chose to remain a schizophrenic.

Why is this concept so difficult for some people to accept or acknowledge? Is it merely the thought of true ultimate personal responsibility that scares them? If you have free will, you need to take responsibility for your decisions.

Seems to me most people here, like many ridiculed homeowners across the country, feel they shouldn't be responsible for their own actions.

[deejayoh]

Do you know anything about schizophrenia or the impact/usefullness of those drugs? do you have any personal experience in your life? I think not or you would not have made such an ignorant sounding comment

and Tim got it right, sorry.

The Libertarians I know would probably not agree with that statement.

You appear to have little knowledge of probability.

Often bad things happen that are nobody's fault at all.

You would be a personal injury lawyer's wet-dream on a jury.
