Scientists Discover Gene That Predisposes Ashkenazi Jews to Schizophrenia


Our ancestors worked really hard to protect these Genes.
To just reject them because they no longer function in a "well" ordered society seems like a shitty answer.

There was no conclusion made, I was moving the conversation forward

Man, can you imagine how hard it must be to suffer from this problem; just to have some douche-bag tell you that your problems are from bad mental habits?

maybe to someone who is extremely mentally fragile (such a person shouldn't be on the internet)

I know; its crazy. You know once we had someone tell us that schizophrenia is a "made-up condition" caused by a "complex of bad mental habits". Oh wait; that was you!

you aren't even able to consider the possibility that people are responsible for their own mental conditions

Quote (Azrad @ Jul 28 2016 11:45pm)

Ah yes, because bad mental habits make you hear and see things that aren't real! And I suppose PTSD is caused by not planning your day out carefully. And I can't wait to hear how you are going to tell us that amnesia is caused by "bad mental habits".
