The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Rev. Baloney,

I have to conclude you're mentally ill. The only question is whether or not you've ever been diagnosed.

It has to do with the delusional nature of your reasoning process.

It's not about politics.

A characteristic of mental illness and the delusions they generate is that the person suffering from them can hold two completely logically contradictory positions AT THE SAME TIME.

A mentally healthy person would feel "cognitive dissonance" from this sort of inconsistency.

A mentally ill person doesn't. The mentally ill have poor to non-existent reality testing.

In this case, you've stated the following: 1) [whoever the ICE officer was], committed "murder." 2) Yet you believe the feds are hiding the "evidence" of the murder.

You've tried and convicted the ICE officer at the same time you admit you haven't seen all the evidence because (you claimed) it is being hidden from you.

Yet somehow you "know" that "hidden evidence" would PROVE that the ICE officer committed "murder."

When you take a shower, does GOD communicate with you through the shower head?

Just want to know, that's also a common delusion of mentally ill persons.
