| Joelcool7 said: No offense but you don't call homosexuals fags, or black people the N word. What makes it okay to call people with different mental make ups psychopaths? If the book truly talks about gifted individuals and people with learning disabilities as psychopaths then the book is not even worth reading. Do you know the effects calling people with disabilities psychopaths have? Your right people with different abilities and mental make up do often become CEO's , president's and other outstanding people do all kinds of things. But calling these individuals psychopaths is just horrible. I guess you were talking directly about the book. But I wouldn't read a book on gay's calling them Fag's or black calling them the N word. Its just insensative and if a book talks about people like that then its obviously not worth my time. As for homosexuality being un-natural. Its pretty hard to deny that it occurs naturally. Now if you want to say its abnormal you'd be correct as it occurs rarely within the human race. Now lets define normal, my psychiatrist once put it this way. He said grab anyone, any man women or child and put them infront of a good psychiatrist. He said with some time every single individual on earth will have some sort of mental disability. Their isn't a single normal person on the face of this earth that does not, people try to justify themselves by calling themselves normal and picking on people different then they are, however they are not anymore normal then the people they pick on. So is homosexuality normal? Yes and No. Its not common but what makes something normal? |
I only use the word to refer to the actual clinical term that people are aware of. The only other term that exists is dissocial personality disorder BUT rarely do the two terms refer to the same thing.
Secondly, the book doesn't talk about gifted individuals as being psychopaths. It talks about how sometimes the mix of their traits is very desirable by society. Here are common traits. Cunning, superficial, manipulative, pathological liar, shall I go on? In the right forumla, you can see how this type of person can acheive a LOT of power, especially when they aren't held back by conscience, regret, and empathy.
Now, would I consider them "abnormal". No. They are a unique type of individual, as am I.
@bolded- Yes, exactly. Everyone is odd and different. But your conclusion doesn't follow logically. Shouldn't your question be "being different is normal", or "is the existence of homosexuality normal"
the answer is yes on both counts.
