"Most violence is caused by mental illness"

I have others.

Oh I don’t doubt it!

I suspect you now think differently.

Not at all. You actually think your histrionics are having any effect on me?

No it doesn't. It doesn't "add to" any "narrative".

It adds to the stigma around mental health, the false narrative. Of course it does. Perhaps you have forgotten the title?

@ghost-of-a-duke said
Again, with the stigma surrounding mental health the title is ill-judged, and unnecessary. Sure, you're using it for hypothetical reasons, but that doesn't render it any less repugnant. And yes, you are very much perpetuating the myth around mental health.

Oh come now. You're being a silly sop.

No it doesn't. Read the thread.

Lacking Dive's 'sopiness' I suspect you realise your OP should have better clarified the inflammatory quote in the title. It's the reason you were dodging parts of my post.

The title is fine i put it in quotation marks. And then there's a hypothetical question. Read the thread. Stop being so puffed up and daft.

Or perhaps you should read the title:

"Most violence is caused by mental illness"

I suspect you are fully aware that you would have been better off not grandstanding the way you have.

I think the thread title is a good one. I think the way it was used to pose a hypothetical question. I think the OP is good. The title is good. The thread is good.

Why isn't that quotation accredited?

This may be currently true in the right wing gun loving American media who will use anything to marginalise the cause of mass shootings, but it isn’t over here in sensible land.

Over there? Do you mean there are no terrorist attacks there?

"Since 1970, there have been at least 3,395 terrorist-related deaths in the UK, the highest in western Europe."
wiki

"In most years terror attacks caused fewer than 50 deaths per year, and in many years no one died from attacks. With exception of 2001, terrorism accounted for less than 0.01% of all deaths in the US in every year since 1970." In America.

You know nothing. But keep blurting.

I've enjoyed highlighting your sopiness.

Yes. It's in quotation marks. It's a good title for this thread. Go and seek out your silly sops if you are worried about them.

It wasn't necessary. If you think that it was me expressing my opinion, then so be it.
