LOL well Dave, either you want others to enjoy reading your posts, or skip over them !

I'm retired Po Po anyway ...

Just makes it really hard to read. It's the same with some of the spelling by a few members. An occasional mistake is one thing, but some of their post are almost incomprehensible. They don't even try by the look of things.

BandB, I truly believe it’s intentional with some people. There is absolutely no way they don’t notice their spelling or punctuation errors. They have spell check, and just keep on trucking.

Lol

This is real simple.
Take a gander down south there. Yup, juuust below your belt line. That’s what Mother Nature made you. Now you can treat what she made you differently. Hate it, like it, dress it differently, act differently, sound differently, groom it differently and so on. After all of that you can still look down there and see what Mother Nature made you, and not by any mistake.

Now if you won’t accept the most basic of realities and decide to mutilate yourself, drug yourself, literally abuse what Mother Nature made, well that’s on you. If you’re bent on destroying what Mother Nature made you, you’d sure seem a prime candidate for hurting others as well.
What is it research has found, most murderers as children would hurt, mutilate, and even kill harmless animals? Jeez what does that say about the future life path of young people who do those things to themselves?

Thank heavens tho the powers to be know better, can’t tell you how safe I feel when I’m back in Minnesota knowing there are tampons in the men’s rooms.
Can we still say Mens room?

So as far as putting them in institutions, I agree. Problem is the institutions are all but gone. Mental illness today is dealt with using pharmaceuticals. Mentals are released on their own recognisance with a few bottles of pills and told to take them to stay "normal". Then when they don't, and they flip, people say we need to institutionalize them.

I am all for more institutions, I just don't know how to go about it.
