Re: Two separate issues are addressed in the article

The basic problem which you fuckers fail to see is that whether or not something causes a person "problems" has no bearing on whether or not it's a disorder.

The implicit equation of the DSM is "if certain thing cause social problems, then certain thing disorder." But society itself is disordered.

Job problems? Being a homo could cause you job problems. Marital problems? Having a healthy sexual appetite could do that, if your spouse doesn't share your desires. Bankruptcy problems? Maybe we should diagnose "politicians that allow credit card companies to charge you 35% interest disorder."
