Wikipedia has enough problems with petty nazi protectionist idiots already. But, also, it's just not the wiki way to allow edits to be controlled by someone else.
That's an excellent point. I'm in the UK. I would say that I didn't grow up in a religious home. The apple was just a tasty apple.
Yes! It's that sharp intake of breath "ooh, god, that's harsh. But fair."
Some people with dementia illnesses have very troubling behaviours - violence, anger, disinhibition (they'll strip naked in the street, for example). Whether that means they need to be in prison or a secure hospital is another matter, but not all people could be returned to society.
That article is weird. People with mental health problems are far more likely to be the victims of violence than the perpetrators of violence. It says "Acute psychosis is linked with an increased risk of violence, which is at least doubled in schizophrenia compared to that seen in normal people " - well, use of the word "normal" there is pretty offensive, and there's no indication of the actual risk. If 1 in 10,000 "normal" people are at risk of violence then doubling that takes us to 2 in 10,000 people with psychotic illness at risk of violence. Pretty good odds. What the US needs is much better medical treatment for people with mental health problems. This means early intervention; crisis and home treatment teams; teams for seldom heard and hard to engage people; etc. These are expensive. But dealing with the fallout of non-productive mad people is a lot more expensive.
