Normal ? Who's normal? What do you mean Crazy?

I am with you pola, i rather be a bit crazy then totally average. who in the heck wants to be that!!

Already in the crazy category to some because I have 5 kids about a year apart. LOL!!! And yes I like individuality so please call me crazy LOL!!!

I have 3 pets with my craziness...

See I knew I would get people thinking. To me there is no normal only what we feel is acceptable. LOL!!! Every one has a different definition of normal or crazy .. I didn't start this to get a cookie cutter answer but to get peoples ideas of what they think normal or cray is!!!thank you for participating and have a nice day.

normal wow, i have never been called that before. let me roll that around in my mouth for a while and see how that feels. and 5 kids a year apart, you are totally nuts honey

I love thinking outside of the box. It's gives you so many options. But who has the right to say that's crazy because to me Momma you're normal.

But even though I say your normal it doesn' mean that your not an individual that is unique. I just thought I should point that out.

ok i need to stop laughiing at your description of crazy.. Ok I would consider that stark raving mad. LOL!! Thank you for your view I really appreciate it. I consider most of what you stated that was crazy crazy. LOL!!

Very good thought process ... I agree what may be consider eccentric in the wealthy is definitely crazy if you don't have the cash to back it. LOL!!! I Totally agree with how your put it out there. Thank you for your views. Have a nice day.

LOL!!! That is absolutely correct what we may percieve a normal someone else may percieve as crazy and those with mental disabilities like bi polar have a misfiring somewhere in there noggin and the meds the doctors put them on help them to correct that misfiring. Have a nice day.

My question is who has the priviledge of saying this ..? Who are they to come up with this answer?

yes I do understand what you mean to say. I agree with your thoughts. LOL!!!

what's to say the crazy people aren't normal and the normal people aren't crazy ..LOL!! I know what you mean.

Thanks for appreciation. You are most welcome!

Thank you Dpk I appreciate it and thank you for your response. I do agree with it .. They say the avarage is normal. But hey what do they know..LOL!! Have a nice one.

Interesting view .. Thank you for your time in my dicussion I hope to see you in many more. LOL!! YOu have definitely left me with food for thought.

but who define normal? LOL!!Scientist , society as a whole. who? Are they correct?

no I understand what your saying that we identify normal as that which is most common. But my question to you is who decides that. I understand what they place as normal but want to know who was given the permission to say that is normal!!!!

You're not understanding the quantitative measures; normal is that which is most common.

Hmmmm very interesting .. Thank you for the food for thought. Did every one hear that Inasanity is based on the danger thing. Wow then I know a lot of insane people .. Where is Cyn must go tell her she's crazy.. LOL!!! Oh by the Mbcousins, you don't get tagged in my peaceful utipia becuase everyone is entitled to their thoughts and opinions...

Thank you Bellachaos. Brittney is a recent example. "They" say she may be bi-polar and that may be or may not be true, but is she a danger to herself or someone else? They need to observe her for at least 24-48 hours and they can't seem to get that done. If they find her a danger thang..they will committ her for prob. 30 days to begin. Stress can lead some people (usually PTSD) to a dissociative state when the stress is severe. Used to be called the multiple personality condition where you are out of touch with reality. Attorneys use this one to get clients out of responsibility. If the person is in the dissasociative state when they committ a transgression, they ARE pretty much out of it. Thank you for accepting me Bellachos. I think I love you. PEACE

AWW your welcome. I think if they do get brittany in they can only hold her for a week without her consent if they mange to 302 her I think that is the code for involentary ... My Aunt when she was in her right mind use to be a crisis worker and they were only allowed to hold people for observation for 7 days on an involentary committing. LOL!! Again thank you for the debate and if she is bipolar depending on the analysis she can be treated and medicated for it. I have a friend and he is bi polar at first he was really messed up got into a lot of trouble then he completely turned his life around to a respectable person and that was him staying on his meds and taking the effort to say I can be better and do better. Anyone can overcome the adversities thrown at them if they believe they can.

LOL!! Nice example how are normals differenciate between people. LOL!! thanks for responding and have a nice one.

Hmmm, interesting mylot example. Wouldn't we all be shocked to you know where and back if someone did get rich from mylotting. LOL!!!!!!!

I couldn't agree with you more!! Thank you for your response and have a nice day.

LOL!!!! Most definitely. I have to agree...Lock out nutter here we come!!!

There is no real judge on what to say normal is. LOL!!

Exactly what is normal to one is never the same normal to another. LOL!!!!

thank you for your response. I do see how when we are younger and we tend to do wild and stupid things with our friends how that can be seen as crazy. But how many stupid acts would qualify you as crazy...
