Even if you choose the side of good you are cooperating with others to KILL.

I worked in community mental health center for the last 2 yrs and with many clts with schizophrenia, OCD, psychosis and did not come across even 1 vegetarian or vegan. I would not say it is "common". MOO.

I'll just sign in as a vegetarian for 18 yrs, vegan for 4 and very mentally stable. For goodness sake. MOO.

The title of Aspergers is being removed but many of those who would have been diagnosed with Aspergers will now be instead diagnosed as on the Autism spectrum.

Actually Autism/Aspergers are listed in the DSM - Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of MENTAL DISORDERS. Everything listed in the DSM is listed as a mental disorder. Autism/Aspergers are mental disorders. Disorder vs. illness is semantics. I do not believe that the DSM discriminates disorder...

Bold by me. You don't see any indication that she fears for her physical safety? What more would she have to say? "I'm afraid of the consequences.... him kidnapping... divorce or worse on his part". Fearing your husband will kidnap your kids ... or "worse" is not a concern in normal...

This girl's reality was not our reality. After abuse all her life her perception and judgement would be so off. She did not know how to go for help the right way or couldn't bring herself to do it after all she'd been through. Even though children are being abused they fear telling and...

What are we calling ICA now? FCA? What's that stand for? I will refrain from guessing as my guesses may be inappropriate ;)

No to professional jurors - too easy to corrupt! But I do support a workshop/training to educate jurors and an IQ/comprehension test. Because of all the CSI etc programs jurors apparently need to be educated re how things are in a real life trial as opposed to what they have seen on TV.
