I haven't seen a Swedish jail either but I do know that the prisons are so full that convicted criminals are kept in police drunk tanks or even let lose.

We recently had a case here in Sweden where a certified maniac drove his car at high speed down a pedestrian street in Stockholms old town killing several people. He claimed that mysterious forces used remote control to take over his car. Your claim that he made a rational choice is nonsensical.

My statement was that no illness can make a person break the law. That individual in Sweden chose to drive at high speed down that street.
As for the phrase you use "rational choice", well, no crime is rational anyway. Every crime committed, especially the more serious ones, are always irrational. But we cannot continue to say "these people have illnesses and they shouldn't go to jail". That's a preposterous suggestion. This is what they've been doing here in America for a long time and it doesn't work.
Also, there is no such thing as a "certified maniac". The only thing that is "certified" is if a person commits a crime and he is tried in a court of law for it, where he is found guilty. Then it is certified he has committed that crime.
The statements that driver supposedly made about "mysterious forces used remote control" may not have been what he actually said. The problem with referring criminals to psychiatrists is that psychiatrists often make it seem like the person said or believed something which that person actually did not. Few people listen to these goofy statements supposedly made such as "mysterious forces used".
If someone breaks the law, he is to be charged. If someone is law abiding, then he is law abiding.
Such a case as the driver case you cite is extremely rare. But when it does occur, it is because the person consciously chose to engage in that crime. Most always, that person went 3 or 4 days straight with no sleep and was angry, holding grudges, perhaps angry his car had problems. After he drove down the street and committed those offenses, a few psychiatrists like to make this sound like some crazy occurrence that only expensive psychiatrists can deal with.
The various psychiatric terms we hear tossed around have been used so much for practically anything, that they have no meaning anymore.
The Catholic Church has always taught its followers to ignore the psychology field entirely because the terms contained in it are too complicated to help people solve problems.
The psychology field tends to stretch grammar to make it seem like the driver you mentioned merely needs psychiatric help, and that the government should now release the person from jail and instead pay big money to psychiatrists and counselors to "treat" the person. Most likely, that driver had already been to psychiatric counseling before he committed those crimes, and he wasn't given proper counseling about what the law is, how to obey the law, how to forget grudges.
More and more Americans are calling for all people to be held accountable for committing a crime. If somebody has, or had, an illness doesn't mean anything. No illness can make a person break the law.
When such a driver is taken into custody, he must be held accountable. If he is given counseling then he should be given moral counseling. Such counseling should explain what the law is. He should be taught that all people are equal under the law, and that every person is to be held accountable for breaking the law.

They should have taught him morals. It's the Swedish government's job to teach people who have problems as to what the law is, how to obey the law, to teach them morals, etc.
There is no such thing as a "certified maniac". The constitutions in all of our countries require a person charged with a crime to be tried in court. He is innocent until proven guilty. If he is found guilty by a jury, then he is convicted of that offense. He is "certified" as having committed that particular crime.
If not, then a person cannot be certified as anything under the Constitution. If you mean the person went into a mental health facility at some point in the past, this means just means the person went 3 or 4 days straight without sleep and went into a hospital to rest and get medication. Hospitals have absolutely nothing to do with breaking the lawn, nor do they house criminals.
If that individual you mention did originally commit a crime but was instead placed in a mental health facility, well then that shows this is not how to handle people who break the law.
The various psychiatric diagnoses we sometimes hear on TV have been used so much for practically anything, they have no meaning anymore. The Swedish government should also refrain from allowing any doctor to tell a person he has a mental illness that can make him break the law. This is done by denying government funding to any psychiatrist, psychologist, counselor or TV channel which promotes this incorrect view.
Every person is to be held fully accountable for any crime he commits. An illness cannot make a person break the law. Nor should anyone be taught these foolish incorrect utterances.

Now what are you on about? What is abusive about stating something that I think is true? And what is ad hominem about it?
I should have said, perhaps, that he has a very strange perception of mental illness, one that seems to claim that a mentally ill person is still rational and responsible.

His comments on mental illness are set out in another post: http://tinyurl.com/3n2ef (this is an excerpt from a much longer post). *WHAT IS MENTAL ILLNESS? * *A mental illness occurs when a person goes 3 or 4 days straight with no *sleep. This has nothing to do with breaking the law, nor can an illness *cause a person to commit a crime or lose his or her morals. * *When someone goes without sleep for more than 3 days straight, the *electrolytes in the bloodstream become (depleted) very low. This makes it *hard for the person to speak properly, to do his or her work, to study, etc. *A mental illness is also called "extreme overexhaustion". * *A mental illness is not something a person has, it is something a person *experiences or goes through. Under the law, all mental illnesses are *considered temporary. There is no such thing as "a manic depressive", but *there is a temporary condition called "manic depression". * *If a person goes 3 or 4 days without sleep he experiences extreme *overexhastion. If he cannot get the sleep he needs, he can enter a mental *health facility to receive sleeping medication, lithium carbonate and a bed *to rest up in. By law, the government accepts this condition as being called *"manic depression". Here's why it's temporary; * *If that person then files for disability benefits, the government will give *him $600.00 per month, free medical care and often free higher education. *However, the government will have the person see a government doctor every *few months to see if the person still has manic depression. The gov't doctor *may say a few months later that the person no longer has manic depression. *It's irrelevant whether the person himself claims he has manic depression, *or claims it is permanent. Under federal law, "manic depression" is *considered a temporary condition. A doctor may downgrade the condition to *simple depression, or post traumatic stress disorder, and these too are also *considered temporary under the law. Even the more serious condition called *schizophrenia is considered temporary, being downgraded to manic depression *and then to simple depression as the person rests up and recovers.. * *Schizophrenia is easy to understand and avoid.

It is also *considered temporary under the law, and it doesn't cause a person to break *the law either. Any person can avoid coming down with schizophrenia by not *going 3 or 4 days straight without sleep, and by eating properly every day. * *These conditions do not require expensive lengthy counseling with a *psychiatrist at $50.00 an hour to treat.

You should do some more research into that subject to more appropriately comment on it. A mental illness is the term used to describe when a person goes 3 or 4 days straight with no sleep, where under this extreme over-exhaustion the vision is impaired, the hearing is physically impaired and more. But, none of this can make a person break the law.
Mental illness is a temporary condition any person can experience by going days and days straight with no sleep. Any person can get confused or over-exhausted, but he doesn't have to break the law. A person commits a crime by choice, by harboring anger and hatred and then choosing to commit a crime. Any books or documentaries teaching an illness can make a person break the law should be banned.
> He espouses 'King Solomon Psychology'
Good point. If you will examine the kind Wisdom of King Solomon (the moral psychology of King Solomon) you will find no examples of any person being "let off because of insanity". There are none. http://www.hti.umich.edu/cgi/k/kjv/kjv-idx?type=DIV1&byte=2453471
If you read through Solomon's entire Book of Proverbs, you will NOT see a single phrase saying something like
"If a person acts crazy he should be set free". nor "Someone who goes with no sleep for long periods can break the law, it is okay". nor "There are excuses that sick people can give after committing a crime to set them free".
King Solomon's wisdom teaches none of this.
King Solomon does advise great compassion and gentleness for all people, but he never once says anyone can have an excuse for committing a crime. Though Solomon is Jewish and is the king of Israel, he doesn't claim Jews are special or better than anyone else. Like the powerful pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, he teaches goodness and love for all people equally.
Because there were far fewer words in use in ancient times, many words had varying definitions, depending upon the context in which they were used. The words "dead" and "death" were used in a broad, general manner in ancient times to mean such things as "will have lots of problems". These terms are not to be taken literally to mean a person has died or will die. In Solomon's Proverbs 2:18, the term "death" means "cause serious personal problems" and "are a complete waste of time".
Solomon's wisdom is love, but it is also to hold every person accountable for his or her actions. This sensible king of 3,000 years ago, who set the example for many later kings, never once teaches that a person with mental problems should be given a lesser sentence after committing a crime. There is not a single example of this to be found.
Every civilized nation should ban all books and TV documentaries which claim an illness can make a person commit a crime.

Your 'research', as usual, has no references. I provided several which seem to have been cut out. And your definition is a personal one, and IMHO complete nonsense.

So you don't believe in free speech, you want to ban certain ideas. Why am I not surprised.

And when the courts find that someone can't stand trial because they are mentally ill, they don't release that person, they commit them to a mental hospital. Your comments above are dishonest.

Yeah, burn the books you don't like. I don't think anyone can say anything more unpleasant about you than the things you write yourself.

It's a lie. The American Heritage Dictionary: "Any of various conditions characterized by impairment of an individual's normal cognitive, emotional, or behavioral functioning, and caused by social, psychological, biochemical, genetic, or other factors, such as infection or head trauma. Also called emotional illness, mental disease, mental disorder."
Nothing there about sleep. http://www.nami.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Inform_Yourself/About_Mental_Illness/About_Mental_Illness.htm
Mental illnesses include such disorders as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic and other severe anxiety disorders, autism and pervasive developmental disorders, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, borderline personality disorder, and other severe and persistent mental illnesses that affect the brain.
These disorders can profoundly disrupt a person's thinking, feeling, moods, ability to relate to others and capacity for coping with the demands of life.
Mental illnesses can affect persons of any age, race, religion, or income. Mental illnesses are not the result of personal weakness, lack of character, or poor upbringing.
Mental illnesses are treatable.
Etc.

Very funny. I can tell you what though. Everyone I know, who I associate with, has no problems with violence or mental health. Everyone I associate with in life does well, works making good money and has a great familiy life. A few do have depression once in a while, like many who struggle to survive in capitalist America as social benefits are cut and jobs get shipped overseas. But no one who I know or associate with ever gets depressed to the point of suicide. Everyone who I associate with lives.
If someone doesn't like my socialist website, fine, then ignore it. But it doesn't promote problems, it helps to resolve problems. http://members.fcc.net/workgroup5/social/social.html
There are numerous individuals and groups peacefully pushing for Democratic Socialism in America to help our nation become a more peaceful, civilized country. One that is more respected around the world.
If somebody doesn't like Democratic Socialism, fine. Ignore it. The Constitution allows every person Freedom of Speech to publish political views without being harassed.
But don't spread fake stories about me. And don't try to associate me with derogatory, defamatory things I have absolutely nothing to do with.

How lucky you are. I spent a year working in Harlem -- my experience with the people there was quite the opposite. As is the case with the vast majority of people all over the world.

But that has nothing to do with the reality of mental illness, poverty, violence, etc. In fact, you are casting a bad light on socialism.

Not when I studied it at Yale. What the First Amendment actually says is: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
In practice that's extended to state legislatures as well. And of course we all know that copyright, libel law, etc. limits freedom of speech.
Freedom of speech protects my right to harass you so long as I don't libel you, etc.
And also means that Congress can't ban the books and documentaries you want to ban. How you have the nerve to talk about Freedom of Speech while you want to ban books and documentaries is beyond me.
That you've never bothered to read the Constitution or its Amendments doesn't surprise me.

So far I don't think anyone has. You wrote posts denying that 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust, for instance. That makes you a Holocaust Denier.

Freedom of Speech under the Constitutoin mean a person can publish, for example, Facts on Democratic Socialism without being arrested or harassed in any way.
On Dec 24, 2004 someone forged my header name "University Studies" trying to falsely seem like I made a post about killing babies, which I never made.
It was a false defamation post, to make it look like I posted it to the newsgroups de.alt.test, and bit.listserv.test, and alt.conspiracy.jfk Such false defamation posts are failed efforts to discredit people whose political views are opposed to the failed capitalist viewpoints. http://members.fcc.net/workgroup5/social/social.html
This "defamation technique" almost always comes from America to try to discredit a person, to make a person look violent and heinous. To falsely make someone look heinous is called heinousity.
It is probably wise for people in Scandinavia and the EU to learn about heinousity, since it is apparently being used here in America more and more to discredit citizens whose political viewpoints threaten the failed capitalist views.
LEARN ABOUT HEINOUSITY Heinousity is to falsely make a person appear to be heinous. Heinousity is one of the most serious forms of defamation of character. It is to falsely attach heinous intentions and descriptions to a person, as in;
"Happy to see others harmed"
"Likes violence. Likes death. Likes to kill"
"Very cold and callous, shows no remorse in harming other people"
The use of heinousity against someone is a very rare occurrence. When it does occur, it is usually funded by a corrupt wealthy person who seeks to harm the character of a person. Often this is done to throw a lawsuit, to stop someone from testifying in a corruption case, or similar. Ultimately, the person who spreads the heinousity harms his own situation more than anyone else's, because he is the one who it's coming from. http://members.fcc.net/workgroup5/country/harassment.html
But, heinous stories can harm the person its being said about to some degree.
Although rare, heinousity is usually used to falsely associate a person with death, to make it falsely seem as though the person "likes death".
Few people like death in our society. Death is the one thing that comes to all of us eventually, and which we hope to avoid as long as possible. But by falsely associating a person with death, this causes other people to want to stay away from that person. It will discredit the person's writings too.
Heinousity during the Cold War During the Cold War, heinousity was used by certain parts of the intelligence agencies of both America and the Soviet Union against each other. Hard line capitalists have for decades done their best to make Russians seem "heinous", cold and brutal, yet never telling the American public that Russia provides free college, free medical and guaranteed jobs for all citizens. None of which is given to American citizens.
Heinousity against Ross Perot When Ross Perot ran for US president in 1996 with the pro-social Reform Party, several capitalist TV channels employed "heinousity" against Perot by showing him parodied in comedy sketches making statements such as "I used to kill small animals when I was young. I liked it". This "heinousity" used against Ross Perot helped lower his ratings, to some degree, as the American elections approached. http://www.reformparty.org/
Heinousity is Illegal Heinousity is illegal for two reasons. First, it is a felony under the "raising a false alarm" statute. The penalties for this can be several months in jail.
Second, it is considered very serious "defamation of character" in Civil court. The penalties for this can be several hundred thousand dollars in damages awarded by a jury. =========================================== Again we refer to the master website on harassment http://members.fcc.net/workgroup5/country/harassment.html

You should do some more research into that subject to more appropriately comment on it. A mental illness is the term used to describe when a person goes 3 or 4 days straight with no sleep, where under this extreme over-exhaustion the vision is impaired, the hearing is physically impaired and more. But, none of this can make a person break the law.
Mental illness is a temporary condition any person can experience by going days and days straight with no sleep. Any person can get confused or over-exhausted, but he doesn't have to break the law. A person commits a crime by choice, by harboring anger and hatred and then choosing to commit a crime. Any books or documentaries teaching an illness can make a person break the law should be banned.
> He espouses 'King Solomon Psychology'
Good point. If you will examine the kind Wisdom of King Solomon (the moral psychology of King Solomon) you will find no examples of any person being "let off because of insanity". There are none. http://www.hti.umich.edu/cgi/k/kjv/kjv-idx?type=DIV1&byte=2453471
If you read through Solomon's entire Book of Proverbs, you will NOT see a single phrase saying something like
"If a person acts crazy he should be set free". nor "Someone who goes with no sleep for long periods can break the law, it is okay". nor "There are excuses that sick people can give after committing a crime to set them free".
King Solomon's wisdom teaches none of this.
King Solomon does advise great compassion and gentleness for all people, but he never once says anyone can have an excuse for committing a crime. Though Solomon is Jewish and is the king of Israel, he doesn't claim Jews are special or better than anyone else. Like the powerful pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, he teaches goodness and love for all people equally.
Because there were far fewer words in use in ancient times, many words had varying definitions, depending upon the context in which they were used. The words "dead" and "death" were used in a broad, general manner in ancient times to mean such things as "will have lots of problems". These terms are not to be taken literally to mean a person has died or will die. In Solomon's Proverbs 2:18, the term "death" means "cause serious personal problems" and "are a complete waste of time".
Solomon's wisdom is love, but it is also to hold every person accountable for his or her actions. This sensible king of 3,000 years ago, who set the example for many later kings, never once teaches that a person with mental problems should be given a lesser sentence after committing a crime. There is not a single example of this to be found.
Every civilized nation should ban all books and TV documentaries which claim an illness can make a person commit a crime.
