Mass shootings may be caused by Autism, Autism can be caused by heavy metals, mercury is a heavy metal, therefore mercury causes mass shootings, thus we should ban CFLs. Joking aside, too bad you have to pay for this paper. I'd like to read it
[QUOTE=NoDachi;41224938]Well its kind of missing the point. Why don't psychotic autistic people in other countries shoot up schools?[/QUOTE] If I had to guess I would say it's because their mental health system doesn't suck.
[QUOTE=BusterBluth;41224738]Apparently not because that's not what the article was saying.[/QUOTE] As if the media cares about things like facts.
I have Asperger's and I was bullied in mid school does that make me able to fuck shit up?
[QUOTE=Levithan;41224633]Great, all I need is to be psychotic and I become a school shooter. Woo for being half a mass murderer![/QUOTE] Psychosis is generally comorbid with autism. You have yet to trigger it.
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;41225340]If I had to guess I would say it's because their mental health system doesn't suck.[/QUOTE] LOL you've cracked the case! What is so exceptionally bad about american mental health care compared to the most western nations?
comic books
Psychosis? Yes. Autism? Nope.
I knew a fair amount of people with autism and I am on the fence. I mean some people are totally normal while others are severely autistic and freak out over telling them sonic the hedgehog died (True story bro). Also another autistic kid tried to kill me over a rock that apparently was his that I was standing on.
[QUOTE=Tucan Sam;41224682]Is autism going to be the new scapegoat/blame for everything now?[/QUOTE] Some of the blame has to go to non-facebook users as this forbes article says. [url]http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/03/05/facebook-can-tell-you-if-a-person-is-worth-hiring/[/url]

In that case I'm surprised a /b/tard hasn't shot up a school yet
[QUOTE=Faz;41226248]In that case I'm surprised a /b/tard hasn't shot up a school yet[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure someone from /b/ shot up a mall after announcing it on /b/.
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;41225340]If I had to guess I would say it's because their mental health system doesn't suck.[/QUOTE] That and we're not handing out guns as if it's candy... And our media isn't half as sensationalistic and mis-informative as yours. Neither do we have as much cultural friction and as high difference between the richest and the poorest.

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;41226868]Man if the availability of guns must be what drives homicide rates up then such rates must be linearly increasing every year due to perpetual production and improvement of said guns!

I guess you're another one who didn't understand what the link was saying anyway.
[QUOTE=NoDachi;41225724]LOL you've cracked the case! What is so exceptionally bad about american mental health care compared to the most western nations?[/QUOTE] It isn't paid entirely by the state, Thus you can forget everything about everyone being treated equally and fairly if they're in need of medical attention, [B]IF[/B] they can even afford to be treated [I]AT ALL[/I].
[QUOTE=redBadger;41224611]I got a better idea. Let's blame video games!!![/QUOTE] No it's the rock music I tell ya especially grunge, satans spit

Are you honestly saying this?
[QUOTE=NoDachi;41224938]Well its kind of missing the point. Why don't psychotic autistic people in other countries shoot up schools?[/QUOTE] surely it couldn't be because of the lack of availability of guns
Who the fuck changed the title. I can't tell if it's a dig at the article or a sperg joke :c
Everytime I see somebody with a fedora and black clothing I can't help but smile. Those people think they look good but no they're just funny.
[QUOTE=NoDachi;41227546]So mental health care is so bad in america that psychotic autistic people resort to shooting up places rather, rather than what happens in other comparative countries? Are you honestly saying this?[/QUOTE] Now you're twisting words. Naughty naughty you. One of the only ways to be guaranteed mental treatment in the US, is if you've committed a crime, and has been found mentally unsound in the inevitable trial after being arrested. And then you'd both be treated as someone in need of mental help [B]AND[/B] as a dangerous criminal. To put it simple: the US sucks when it comes to preventive measures. You can only expect help from the public system when it's already too late.
I came here for fedoras. I was disappointed.
[QUOTE=Van-man;41227996]You can only expect help from the public system when it's already too late.[/QUOTE] And even then only when they're already punishing you for something else.

[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;41229409]You're forgetting about the most mind corrupting thing in existence: [I]comic books.[/I][/QUOTE] and same sex marriage.
I showed this to my autistic friend who owns a fedora and told him "Its time to get rid of it" Also this made me laugh a bit harder than I should because he was reading it over my shoulder.
