Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire American Psychological Association says

I agree, the problem with a lot of these "organizations" is there are no checks and balance with basic logic and zero accountability. It's not that hard to figure out if someone is nuts in my experience, and all mass shooters would easily qualify as nuts.

You're not gonna get Goosey over for dinner if you keep talking like that......

Changes slowly took affect imo when discipline was taken out of schools. Kids nowadays don't understand repercussions for doing wrong, they only get words. I remember most of the paddlings I got and honestly I deserved ever single one. It shows on the roads as no one has respect for fellow drivers and they are all to quick to give you the middle finger after they wrong you. When I was a kid growing up and I'm only 44 I realized if I showed my a$$ or run my mouth it would likely end up with my a$$ whooped with a paddle or belt and or my nose poked on the playground. Now there's no consequence for $hitty selfish behavior unless a decent person is willing to risk there freedom when they slap the ever deserving $hit out of these fantasy world living millennials. Our average young citizen has lost there way and it's a sad affair. I was taught respect and compassion for my elders and fellow citizens. Our Hollywood folks and the mainstream media is the newest form of WMD. It's working I'm afraid.

Psychologists aren't shrinks

Oh really? Maybe mine are defective then. Maybe i should go buy a few more and see if they function properly!

Exactly, even this redneck heavy equipment operator knows that committing premeditated mass murder isnt exactly the hallmark of a sane person!

Of course it's the gun's fault; or the easy access thereof. Speaking of easy access......... Gun owners generally have easy access to their guns and you have to be nuts to want a gun so lets call out the swat team for another "Red Flag" gun confiscation mission on a deranged gun owner. See how that works ?

We should blame easy access to cars for drunk driving...

Somewhat...
But brain chemistry is still affected by areas of the brain not physically developed fully caused by the drugs
Many of the drugs stunt normal growth and full development of cognitive areas of the brain during their growth as young children and teens.
The drugs physical effects in the brain are for the rest of their life.
The effects are permanent even though levels of the drugs drop off
Like crumpling up aluminum foil and trying to flatten it out perfect again.
Cant do it.


Info is out their to be found....

Tableware leads to morbid obesity.

These are the very same overeducated idiots who say every perverted thing on earth is normal.

Wow, do they know what they are saying? They are defending the desire and action of mass killing as a normal psychological response to stressors. For the APA then, mass killing is a sane and rational response, only culturally unacceptable at this time.

They've gone off the deep end.

This is the actual pertinent section from the statement:

"Routinely blaming mass shootings on mental illness is unfounded and stigmatizing. Research has shown that only a very small percentage of violent acts are committed by people who are diagnosed with, or in treatment for, mental illness."

Most Psychologists went into that field of study because they're crazy as a bitsy hen and they wanted to heal themselves via a college degree in the discipline.

I've been introduced to a few at gatherings,.....

They'll be dressed all funny,....twitching around,...barkin' schitt out,...

"Bristoe,...I'd like you to meet my friend,...Shlomo Erkovich,...he's a Psychologist.

Bristoe: *extends hand* "Good to meet you."

Shlomo: "THE RABBIT HOLE!",...*twitch*,...*twitch*

That’s been my experience as well. That Degree field seemed to draw them like flies to schitt.

They are admitting they're failures and frauds in essence. They weren't able to recognize the crazies by their own admission.

I belong to three clubs. One has 250 members, another 160, and the third about 200.

Almost all of the members of these have "easy access" to assault rifles. (Nothing special about that if you own one). Further, most of us have CCW licenses and some carry all the time.

NONE has ever committed a crime with a gun.

The American Psychological Association is stupid.

Well that about says it all! Hope you don't mind if I quote that statement in the future!

True story; it’s why it’s so hard to get a temporary insanity ruling

And here I was, thinking we were gonna get some good advice and wisdom from the APA!

Silly me !
