From your same article.
In 2016, there were an estimated 10.4 million adults aged 18 or older in the United States with SMI. This number represented 4.2% of all U.S. adults.

So you don't count anything less than serious mental illness as mental illness?

Not aware I ever said that. I said I'd support your crazy people ban on the serious mental illness front.

Ah, I see. I missed the post where you were making that distinction. It seemed an awful lot like you were saying 1 in 5 people weren't mentally ill.

But I discount your argument that you'd support it for the seriously mentally ill. Those people can hardly function enough to use a computer, anyway. It's those low-grade manic depressive idiot moron paranoids who are fucking up everything.

Plus, considering 51% of the population is female, I still feel like 1 in 5 is awfully low for overall mental illness.

Zing. Well, if we had any females here it would be a zing.

Ok, here's the rule.

Malcolm's the cut off. Everyone equal or worse than him, flagged.

He even seems a little more depressive than I'd like, though.

And I'd say Malcolm = serious mental illness, where as minor mental illnesses are more just occasionally annoying.

Is retarded a mental illness? I mean, you can't fix him with pills.

I don't know if Malcolm or Worse is enough. There's a person near me who posts political signs in his front yard with the fervor of a person who posts bible verses... that's what it reminds me of. That person must be flagged. But I don't know if that's as bad as Malcolm.

The word "official" was on purpose. There's paperwork and shit so you can take them where animals shouldn't be.

Well, just cause you have that paperwork, doesn't mean it's official official. A lot of people get that just so they can take their pets with them.

Or does faking an illness to gain it's benefits gets you flagged even though you are normal?

That's worth a discussion, but I'd say.... flag the fakers. That feels a bit like mission creep, though. Not sure if I want to put "liars" under the same blanket.

I agree. Clearly they're assholes who think they're more important than others, and thus, deserve additional benefits, so they steal them.
