I'm guessing it occrued at much less of a rate, people back then did have a better grasp on what was real vs. what should remain in imagination. Kids today pretty much grow up in augmented reality. And the disconnectment from parents do not help.

Yeah, I agree with you, @guest_. I was only talking about potential fallacies in the original argument. I'm not speaking in absolutes, only using logic given certain speculations in given parameters said by mrscollector. That's all.

No one. You don't need my permission...I apologize, my lord. Please, look into your heart...don't send me to the gibbot.

Fuck yeah!

Keep being Ew! And @cryoenthusiast yeah, I would put that under hypochondria.

No, adopted personas are not an illness. Pretending to have different personalities to claim illness is an illness.

I think God has a duality, just like anything else in this unuverse. Rather, because God has duality, so does everything else. God can be the most pure being, and the most destructive, because God is beyond the scale of good or evil. That cancer could very well be part of a "plan", I don't know, but if it's the work of the devil, and God is omnipotent, then it is also the work of God.

But @mrscollector If God is the perfect being, and can control everything, can't God change the direction of the boulder? Is God omnipotent, or isn't God? God can't be omnipotent AND unable to control the roll. Another paradox...

@mrscollector It is my understanding that God created everything, including the devil. So, wouldn't it ultimately be God's fault? Especially when you dig deeper, and find out that angels did not have the same kind of free will that humans purportedly have. Doesn't that make it worse in some ways? You can't say "God created everything" and then say "This isn't God's doing." You are admitting to a universal scale paradox.

If they are actually living with 400 personalities between them (or jeez, even let's say 5), then damn right they are mentally ill. It's a mental illness to even want to pretend to have that many for posterity(?) reasons...

It really depends on where one grows up. In my area, liking anime was permissible socially, as long as someone wasn't bringing body pillows to school (pretty sure those wouldn't be allowed, anyway). For my school, this did reign true. We had those that would literally bite the air and snarl at others for making fun of them for Naruto running. Although, this post makes it seem as though bullying someone for those reasons is somehow the right thing to do. No one should be bullied, period. I agree with the reality of what happens highlighted in the post, but I definitely don't condone the actions taken against these people, or the attitude about bullying those for performing the aformentioned actions.

And When Doves Cry

It is.

How can you be asking for a friend that has no friends? Unless...
