Title: Reasons for commitment to an insane asylum
Post by: Balog on March 18, 2014, 12:15:36 PM: (https://armedpolitesociety.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi159.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ft135%2Feracer1111%2Finsane_asylum_1800_zps6566d620.jpg&hash=cdb124293b122f521b8ff23f3a53d9ac002b9d9d)

Interesting how times have changed isn't it? Also worth pondering: after the NRA gets their way and we can lose our 2A rights for "mental health" problems, the list of reasons for admission will have lots of things like "paranoid, because he feels the need to conceal carry a gun for protection" and "delusional, because he denies global warming."

"Marriage of Son." But don't let him get married.

"Menstrual Derangement". I like their term for PMS.

.... I think we need to bring these back. We could clear all of Washington out in a day.

Ironic that "False Confinement" would be a reason for confinement ;/

Is that one session? Even I don't have that kind of stamina.

Although "deranged masturbation" does raise some odd questions too.

You could also interpret that as "failure to perform"

Post by: freakazoid on March 18, 2014, 07:36:28 PM: It sounds like these are things that have lead to confinement. For example, it's not shooting your daughter will cause you to be confined, but do to the mental stress it could eventually cause you to go crazy. Like these are reasons people gave.

You know, that is an excellent point I had not thought of. Thanks for bringing it up.

Maybe they're the ones that found a crazy guy and turned him in, as it was the kindest thing they could do at the time?

Also, it says admission, not commitment. The latter is where you're forced to be there...
