[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 548121, member: 11791"] JMO - but we are what we eat. Not in terms of food, so much - yes, that is a huge factor in health, including mental health. But in terms of what we put into our minds. There is so much poison out there to fill the brain with - and while it's always been around at some level, it used to be very hard to find. Now... it's all over the internet, and it's free. Warped people love to feed warped thinking to others. Take a "normal" person and suck him into the poison pit for long enough and... the brain undergoes substantial structural changes. Yes, it's a choice to feed on this stuff. In the name of free speech, we can't shut any of it down. Most of us ignore it when it shows up, and definitely don't go looking for it. But I've seen how plastic the brain is, how fast the negative vortex can warp thoughts and personality and logic... in real life stuff can do that to you. Take that warp and feed it poison and... it can be deadly. So does this person have to have a life-time history of MI, in order to have gone off the deep end in some direction that may or may not end up with a formal MI diagnosis of some sort? Or... is the mind so complex that we really only know a tiny bit about this stuff, and all the rest is theory? These statements are not about any one particular recent case. We've had some in Canada, too - not with guns, but leaving an innocent person dead. But more and more, I'm wondering if... there's just way too many factors to really have any idea what all the factors are. [/QUOTE]
