Calling someone mentally ill is not okay to use as an insult, ever. Either you're a layperson diagnosing someone, in which case STFU because you don't know what you're talking about; you're a licensed psychologist/psychiatrist diagnosing someone you don't know, in which case STFU because you haven't had a chance to formally evaluate them; or you're publicly diagnosing your own patient, in which case you can lose your license and I hope you do.

Someone should start a thread where people can debate about it or whatever. Not me, though. I'm not touching that one.

It's hard to credit anybody associated with Fox with either intelligence or education when they resort to name-calling bullying. I'd suggest a tall chaser of Rachel Maddow to get the taste out of your mouth. ;-/ Mon, 13 Feb 2012 19:59:30 -0600 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/off-topic/threads/50099?page=1#forum_thread_comment_1137559 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/off-topic/threads/50099?page=1#forum_thread_comment_1137559 Itzika Yup, definitely weird.

I've heard that The Daily Show is supposed to be liberal, but let's face it, if they can get a joke in, they don't care what side it is. This, ladies and gentlemen, is generally referred to as chaotic neutral.
