should mentally challenged be allowed to post online?


Should mentally challenged be sanctioned to post online in comments, forums, replies etc?

Is it a good conception for them to verbalize along side not challeneged people, where they will probably get ridiculed, travestied, slammed for being imbecilic?

Do we optate to sanction their convoluted, very erroneous perspectives to waste everyone's time online?

Should there be imposed a competency level law for access?

reply

What happened to the freedom of speech you were advocating so fervently for in the other thread??

reply

this is obviously quite different. should mentally challenged drive cars if they don't understand ho it works?
do you want them as your brain surgeon.

also....

going to try answering the question or avoid and deflect?

reply

ok I'll answer , Yeah I think they should be able to talk on forums , after all its not brain surgery ( or driving)

reply

You're opinion is allowed, and respected. It's what I am seeking. Thank you.

reply

Meh, that would allow the state to screen everyone before they post. Not a good idea. Keep the government out of it.

reply

Your kind has a right to post just like everyone else. You leave a door open, I'm going to walk right in.

Signed, million man.

reply

obviously some will use that door. I knew that going in

reply

We’d miss you if they weren’t 😉

reply

OK, they have been posting for years, why stop 😃😃😃now!

Hey, people of stupid are people too you know!

reply

The People of Stupid rule.

Who defines who is mentally challenged?

And who has the authority to deny them freedom of speech?

The only problem with them is, it isn't much fun interacting with them - except for samoanjoes.

DSM-IV defines mental retardation as significantly subaverage intellectual functioning (i.e., IQ no higher than approximately two standard deviations below the mean), which is accompanied by significant limitations in adaptive functioning in at least two of the following areas: communication, functional academic skills, health, home living, leisure, safety, self-care, self-direction, social/interpersonal skills, use of community resources, and work. Onset of these conditions must occur before age 18. The condition is further divided into four levels of retardation based on IQ, which include mild mental retardation (IQ between 50-55 and 70), moderate mental retardation (IQ between 35-40 and 50-55), severe mental retardation (IQ between 20-25 and 35-40), and profound mental retardation (IQ below 20 or 25)

Tell me more about what mental illnesses the DSM has had and has removed from previous editions.

reply

oh I dont know, but it is good to have a base line of some kind.

for all the moronic things I see online, I feel we need a standard for access.

"The flat Eurff is run by reptilian space pizzagate zombie vampires and illuminatii politicians who want to kill all humans and drink thier blood baby blood for nurishment!"

is kind of a dead giveaway.... as well as the people that blindly believe everything with zero proof.

So you're telling me there's no ice wall?

reply

crap! I KNEW I was forgetting some

reply

Usually people who can't even type proper sentences and spew out a bunch of nonsense over on Quora get no response from me. Either that, or I tell them to go back to First Grade and relearn how to write.

reply

CLEARLY WE KNOW WHERE YOUR PARENTS LAND ON THE TOPIC.🤔

reply

Well....it's hard to track them down. It's like trying to figure out who the mental patient in the room is simply by looking at them. There's no way to tell them from a glance. Some are good at fooling people into thinking they're intellectuals, others don't bother hiding it, but you don't know they're nuts until they actually type something.

You can't trust some online organization, government entity, or online bot to be able to decipher whether someone mentally ill is typing or posting online. They would either be biased, or simply don't have what it takes to weed them out.

Frankly, it's better to let Public Opinion rule on this one. People will naturally end up either shunning or ridiculing the mentally ill person enough to either deter them, or make them leave and go somewhere else.
