   I keep telling you that there is nothing scientific at all about psychology.   
   It is a philosophy, very similar to traditional religion in that it tries   
   to define a correct way of thinking.  The "scientific" part of psychology   
   is the use of the medical-sounding term "mentally ill" instead of "sinner"   
   to describe those whose behavior is inconvenient for the system.   
      
   BTW, I happen to be gay but unlike most gays I happen to believe in freedom   
   of thought and I oppose religion and psychology because they attempt to   
   impose conformity of behavior and thought on people.  I also know that   
   psychology is bullshit because my family had to go to court to get my insane   
   brother committed to a mental hospital, and after a few days the staff   
   psychiatrists testified (under oath) that he was fine and ready to go home.   
   The judge was about to release him based on Dr. Phil's expert opinion, then   
   my brother blurted out he could talk to dead people and the judge ordered   
   him held for an additional week.  I wonder what makes psychiatrists or   
   psychologists or whatever so fucking intelligent and psychic that they   
   can't even recognize a raving lunatic?  Stupid whores is what they are, the   
   same Dr. Phil would have happily committed him for life if my family was   
   paying for the hospital stay and not the county.
