You are the crazy hobo of HN. Why are your videos called "Songs by God and Me"? Why do you screenshots just show crazy screens full of text rather than displaying actual features?
He at least has a good reason why his comments are the way they are. You have no such excuse and I'm ashamed that your comment has not been downvoted into oblivion.
A lot of LoseThos's previous posts have been ranting about Jews, Muslims, black people, et al. and while it may be a touch uncivil of me to say it, there's much less value-add than value-subtract there. He certainly has a reason for his behavior, but I hesitate to call it an excuse (and I note that you didn't, but you compared it to the lack of an excuse for the post you replied to) and I strongly feel it shouldn't be tolerated regardless of reason.
Schizophrenia patients are rarely put in long term inpatient care any more - whether voluntary or not - in any case, because it is rarely necessary.
Edit (just thought I'd expand a bit on the comment): Schizophrenia's a ridiculously wide disease, if you ever look at the symptom list in the DSM you'll see just how many symptoms are possible, personally I spent 2 years doing essentially nothing (i.e barely any social contact, no programming etc.) and only hallucinated a few times. The problem with treating schizophrenia's mainly the drugs that can help (antipsychotics) are a) expensive and b) really hard to comply with due to the side effects (personally I can easily sleep 12 hours a day due to mine and you're always at risk for tardive dyskinesia).
It'd be nice to live in a world where having a mental illness wasn't seen by a lot of people as a personal failing of some kind, but we're nowhere near there yet.
I told them several times I wasn't hallucinating and I think they were pretty freaked out about the whole thing until they found my meds and realised I wasn't high or abusing some other drugs.
Retrospectively it's pretty easy to see the point where I started seeing things but at the time (at least for me) it was a really slow and insidious process.
I read the article but luckily for me I was never really delusional for very long at all, aside from a couple of incidents like the one above I wasn't really hit by the hallucination/delusional side of schizophrenia so I'm not really qualified to talk about what it's like but I've read before that (sort of like bipolar patients) a lot of schizophrenia patients simply refuse to believe anything's wrong at all, which is one of the big challenges when trying to gain medication compliance.
You should get a job at Unshackled.
Duh! You think they would let another operating system exist! ROFLMAO Win8
You can have your starry eyed view of the US.
Back in 2001 when I made SimStructure, the CIA made SimStructure. I learned my reality is a joke like the 1960's the prisoner. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRPDO63rI1E
I get no emails, except FBI.
