Well....We've been saying for a while that this day would come, and here it is. EVERY SINGLE MEMBER HERE qualifies for diagnosis of this "mental disorder". They aim to disarm ALL dissenters.

Psychiatrists Now Say Non-Conformity is a Mental Illness: Only the Sheeple are 'Sane'

http://www.lewrockwell.com/2015/01/no_author/are-you-odd/

The so-called “condition” for why a person might choose to resist conformity has been labeled by the psychiatric profession as “oppositional defiant disorder,” or ODD. The new DSM defines this made-up disease as an “ongoing pattern of disobedient, hostile and defiant behavior,” and also lumps it in alongside attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, another made-up condition whose creator, Dr. Leon Eisenberg, admitted it to be phony on his death bed.

As you might suspect from this type of open-ended description, almost any personal behavior perceived by someone else to be undesirable or strange might be categorized as symptomatic of ODD. Children who throw temper tantrums or fight with their siblings, for instance, might be declared to have this supposed mental illness, as might children who express disagreement with their parents or teachers.

Characterizing non-conformity as ‘mental illness’ a hallmark of totalitarian government

Such outlandish abuse of the medical system for controlling popular thought is nothing new. Many authoritarian governments, including the former USSR, implemented similar mental health programs that categorized dissenters as having chemical imbalances in need of a remedy. Today, that remedy is often mind-altering, psychotropic drugs with devastating side effects.

I WILL NOT wear a Tie or Tuck in My Shirt Tail even though the Social Penalty was that I was unemployable for many jobs.

I would not do it today even if they passed a law requiring it.

I have quite a number of other crotchets that I feel that Strongly about.

And the Psychiatrists say that makes ME a Mental Case?!?

A murrain seize them!

I think I'm one of the few sane ones. I don't say that everyone who wears a Tie or Tucks his Shirttail into his pants (how did such an uncomfortable and demeaning custom come about?) is necessarily Krazy

But anyone who hates the Idea of it and goes along to get along is both Timid and Neurotic!

I constantly see men who wore sideburns and long hair in the 60's and 70's who are now clean shaven and have  ROTC worthy haircuts and I have to bite my tongue--cause it really isn't my business.

And I want to ask them:

"Did you mean it back in the 60's? If you didn't mean it, why did you do it?

So if you once meant it, what caused you to loose your Conviction?"

I carried on a long rancorous argument with my father for over 35 years about my sideburns--leading to bitter exchanges almost daily.

One of the things he kept repeating was:

"That isn't even the style anymore."

A.} Who gives a Rat's Ass?

B.} You hated my sideburns just as bad when they were in style.

He used to say I looked like a Boar--even when I was in tip-top shape.

I thought for decades that he was hinting that I was Porkine somehow--but no, he was meaning "Boer".

I'm surprised that he knew about The Boers--he was illiterate...

And why is looking like a Boer a bad thing?

{Nowadays folks say that I have "Wolverine Sideburns"...}

Was it Emerson or Thoreau who said:


Whosoever would be a man must be a Non-Conformist.

ODD is just the latest made up "illness."

A good read on the subject is The Myth of Mental Illness by Dr. Thomas Szasz

He also wrote The Manufacture of Madnessand The Therapeutic State along with many other books exposing the fraud of modern coercive psychiatry.

Szasz and the Myth of Mental Illness has a good summary.

He averred that psychiatry was unique among all professions in its capacity to commit people who have done no wrong to insane asylums by way of involuntary commitment (imprisonment). As such, it should more properly be labelled a branch of law than medicine. He was not against psychiatry per se, only what he called coercive psychiatry.

Szasz punctured the bloated pomposity of modern psychiatry by exposing its lack of scientific rigour. He coined the term “therapeutic state” to describe the control the state has assumed over one’s body, including the prohibition on self-murder. Suicide, he declared, is the most basic human right, as is the right to ingest psychotropic drugs or battery acid. Not that he advocated these positions – he was all about personal responsibility for one’s own decisions, good, bad or dangerous.

Szasz did a wonderful job of documenting the absurd history of this pseudo-science. Benjamin Rush, the founding father of American psychiatry, declared negritude (having a black skin) a disease, a form of leprosy. Fast forward 200 years and homosexuality became the disease du jour of the psychiatric movement. Fast forward a couple of decades, and kids fidgeting in class were labelled ADHD, drugged and zombified.

“Psychiatry…attached medical-sounding labels (“diagnoses”) to certain unwanted behaviours, exemplified by masturbation and homosexuality. Then, conflating diagnoses with diseases, they claimed to have discovered new brain diseases (Szasz 1991). In fact, they did no such thing. Instead, they medicalised human problems traditionally perceived in religious terms, transforming sins and crimes—such as self-murder, self-abuse, and self-medication—into sicknesses,” wrote Szasz.

Psychiatry is a tool of the state, used to control people whose behavior troubles the ruling elite.  Its abuse in Russia and China are well documented, where psychiatric "treatment" is used against dissident and agitators.  In the US, the abuse is far more widespread, but seldom recognized.  Millions of children, most of them boys, are drugged into a stupor so that their feminazi teachers find them more easy to control.  Many of the mass shooters of the past few years were under the supervision of a psychiatrist and taking psychoactive pharmaceuticals for must of their young lives.   But this must not be mentioned.

Peace,

Silver

We here at TMM know this. It's the brainwashed masses that are worrisome. They believe whatever lie or half-truth that is spoon fed to them. Right now, TPTB will use the MSM to push this, to further their disarmament of any and all opposition. We may be in the end-game now.

The whole ADHD crap really bugs me and my wife.  I have two nephews (ages 11 and 9) who are both on drugs to 'calm them down'.  Also our next-door neighbor (age 10) takes a "day pill for school".  Both my son and oldest daughter are fidgety.  During homeschool my wife sends them down to the basement (or outside if above zero) to burn off some energy for ten minutes.  They come back, red faced and thirsty, ready to learn a few more things.

I'm the scout leader for a den full of 10-yr old boys.  All of them are homeschooled so no pills!  Sure they are plenty loud and active but I always insert some activity to get them moving.  One in particular is very energetic.  I like to have him stand up and give me ten jumping jacks.  The other boys think it is great fun and usually ask to join in.  Almost like a pressure release valve or something...  I often tell people I wish I could tap into the energy of an 10-yr old.  I could power a small city.

Gaaaah!  This steams me.  I suspected that ADHD was a made-up disease.  To read this doctor's confession raises my blood pressure.  Makes perfect sense though; just follow the money.

I had long hair in high school and college. It was mostly because my dad didn't like it. Nowadays, I use the dog clippers to cut it 1/2" long, then let it grow until it bothers me. No style decision, just the easiest and cheapest way I've discovered to keep it from bugging me.

My wife puts me in a headlock to stop the squirming about once a month and leaves about 1/4" of hair.  As the years go by there's not as much up there to take off...  Soon she'll have a razor in hand.

Yeah, the urge to be different is prevalent in highly intelligent people (don't be shocked, most here would qualify as intelligent, if not technical minded people, its just that technical people TEND to be more intelligent and less embarassed about being so... hence why so many freedom movements are founded or membered by intelligent folks.  I find disproportionately high numbers of tech and science people throughout every freedom movement I've ever looked into... and technical people tend to want to be left alone, in general.) 

This is not a war against people, its a war against the mind, as Rand put it.  And they've found some willing to pervert their talents to subvert the others.  Not all intelligent people are confident, and those who aren't, use the might of the state to suppress those who aren't in their clique.  Its the whole Attila and the Witch Doctor (Rand again.)  The Witch Doctors are intelligent but lacking inner strength so they instead con (as in convince fraudulently or for their own benefit only) Attila  (the cops and might of the state) to do their bidding.  As Rand puts it, Attila envies the Witch Doctor for being smart, but a smart WD will always convince Attila that he knows some secret without which Attila wouldn't rule, or live, or be fortunate or whatever. 

We, today, live in the worst of all, where Attila and the WD have joined forced in unholy matrimony and have decided to subdue everyone else.  Nature will catch up because what we have is a total, whole and complete perversion where the rules rule us and breed more rules, instead of a justice system where there is justice for all, we have a government system, where the only thing is the Continuity of Government Doctrine.  CGD.  And they're obsessed with it, just like all cultists, sectants and fanatic zealot types.  CGD adherents are no different than the Ayatollahs and Imams of every Muslim Terrorist Movements (MTM, not to be confused with the MITM in networking, Man In The Middle attacks.)

people just GIVE away millions of $, and they eat crap and kill themselves with work and worry, cause they buy nto the idea that they have to 'have stuff" and have to "do things".  You don't have to have kids, you dont have to have a house, , either. That saved you, right there, at least  50k per year, for at least 20 years. 1 million $ (AFTER tax and SS) that you need not spend/make

George Carlin always said that your house is just a place to keep all your stuff while you go away and get more stuff !
