While it's undeniable that the psychological and physical are related that argument has the problem of correlation not causation. I'm of the belief that a psychological cause induces a physical change with ends with a psychological reaction.

And yes psychiatrists are a lot like neurologists, the difference being is they apply their knowledge of neuroscience to psychological disorders.

I'm not really too sure where the whole thread is angled at, though I do understand the jist of them. I’ll just post some things I would like to say….Some of it is mine, and some, my words with Matriar.
:
The whole society, mankind, with which I grew up always tried to muzzle me,
Society is a strange thing, they tell us to express ourselves and not be worried to object or make a stand for something, but if we try, they jail the most enthusiastic and passionate, as not to harm the delicateness of that life. Society is an extremely fragile thing when you think about it, but for some reason it has an iron hold on a the majority of ‘common’ folk.


:
And now it's THEM again who always keep telling me that I am the problem here. That it's MY view that makes the world a dark place. After experiencing it, they call my memories a lie simply because they didn't experience it.
The world is dark, people, and our leaders lie and the government covers up all sorts of things we may never know the truth of. They prefer to manipulate us, and trick us, to help keep us quite and obedient.
:
The whole planet is one place.
With countries, we separated it. We made us ignorant. We got taught to be ignorant at school already, simply by hanging up our flag and always telling how much we love THIS country, and this country only. Did we ever do something to say that other countries are cool, too? Unique and an adventure of which we can learn from each other? No.
Why? Because we get manipulated. They want us to be egos, because those are the best soldiers to use in a war. We are taught to not care when we kill strangers. We are taught to not hear their screams. Their cry for help and understanding.
We are taught to hate. We are taught to forget about the true purpose of life. We forget about respect, kindness, trust. We even consider them to be silly and immature.
Humans have always been greedy, and ignorant, it is like a genetic trait, which it is, as humans have prospered through greed and violence. They have killed others from the same planet, simply through the fact they are born in a different word. They world was divided as if to stop civil wars, but also so we would have to share everything equally, thus having no real power over each other. With the separation of lands, we now have trades, and the ability to attack a weaker country, and say it is our defense, because they are third-worlded. They want us to want the death of others not from this country, to be supporting our soldiers and saluting our leader, and cheering, believing we are helping to save lives. They want us to only help those they want us to do. They want us to loathe them, so we won’t protest when they are killed.

:
When they're like shooting me, I can't do a shit about it either. Weapons are invented, popular, and allowed to use. Sick video games, movies, and stories already teach children to kill. They teach them that killers are heroes. Killing.
Weapons are need to kill and take. They want us to be adaptive towards the use of fire arms, as if it is some type of helpful act that will make us more productive and accepting of the fact they kill and steal from others, and how it is acceptable, as long as you are on the right side.

:
Why do I do art? It's the one and only medium I've found to tell stories. My voice is unheard, but my images are seen. Pictures can be a language understood by any country. Art is a freedom. It doesn't separate countries, it unites them. It's knowledge and experience to trade, and to learn from.
It can touch. It can hurt. And of couse, it can be a lot of fun too!
Pictures are such a way to keep them back, art can portray a single idea fro decades, centuries, even a millennium. It doesn’t need to be translated, as all know the language of art and images with need for others.

:
School makes me pissed pretty much now. So many lies, so much wasting of time. They still try to manipulate me, and teach me their own stuff instead of some I actually want to learn to become an artist.
But it probably won't happen that I'll learn art at school.
Who cares, I had to learn anything I know about art from artists and own experiences I had outside of school anyway.
School only teaches us what the Government wants us to, they want us to be molded into things they want us to be, not what we want. They restrict every thing until it is almost like the world is simply a land chained with rules and orders. Alas, such is life.
It is so unfair, and I hate it sometimes, the pressure and the rules they apply to us, un-caring about our own needs and aspirations.

*rant done*
Well, I just pretty much just want to rant out my own angry feelings. *Sigh*
Which is bad, ‘cause I know that isn’t so good…But yeah, whatever

Wings of fire, I thought telling someone to stop blaming everyone, and look more at what they do was very useful, I wish I've done that earlier, but I wasn't going to say complete shit untill I've read all the posts.
Oh, and you may thought what I said was useless, but I didn't just to clarify.

Welcome to capitalism, there is indeed something inherently flawed with an education system that functions like a work training program.

I loled. I don't have any gripe with you, it's just the 'I read a bit of this and am giving my opinion according to my partial knowledge of the thread, will come back and give full opinion when I have more time' approach that annoys me. Also if you have any problems with me negrepping you please send them to the usual address rather than selfishly spamming up Matriar's thread with them.

Good news people! If Obama gets in the world may become slightly less ignorant.

Actually, schools are great open forums. While the government does indeed set the curriculum (and come on, it's not set by the guys at the top, and in a democracy people do have a voice to pressure a change), they cannot control the teachers thoughts and opinions. Teachers (mine at least) are more than willing to share knowledge not examined by standardised tests.

So long as the is a free media and free speech, they won't be able to control us that way, assuming of course that they even have the incentive. Unless you are a conspiracy buff, in which case, ceiling government is watching you masturbate.
