LL gave us permission to break the doorknob, so we did. I'm kinda sad no one came to check on us; it was loud to me, anyway, and I was in the car when he did it. No one came to check on us when he tried to kick it in earlier either, and I freaked; that was rather loud, too.<br /><br />It's not like we're in a bad neighborhood!!!!!<br /><br />Criminal lessons, eek.Sarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-14324482366219430652009-04-23T12:11:00.000-04:002009-04-23T12:11:00.000-04:00I believe there is a significant difference betwee...I believe there is a significant difference between being angry & (<I>figuratively</I>) exasperated! But what Primary Care doc doesn't spend the day chanting, "You have to [lose weight, change your diet, lower your cholesterol, stop smoking, exercise, take your meds for HTN everyday, etc.] or you will experience <I>big time</I> consequences," only to be summarily "ignored?" While I'm not aware of any specific correlation between "middle obesity" and, say "strongarm robbery," the frustration of trying to intervene in both cases seems about equal to me!FooFoo5https://www.blogger.com/profile/06459026418242101033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-72717945664173423712009-04-21T18:34:00.000-04:002009-04-21T18:34:00.000-04:00They don't really want to know why they are a crim...They don't really want to know why they are a criminal, they want to know why they are in jail.Sunny CAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451116932556227816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-21712755448066839222009-04-21T05:56:00.000-04:002009-04-21T05:56:00.000-04:00Elaine: That was irony, not anger.

I also have a nice picture of a screaming child I sometimes put at the top, along with a warning that a rant is about to follow.<br /><br />Anon: My post addressed the broad issues of how someone gets involved breaking the law. As a whole criminals are more extroverted and risk-taking than non-criminals (see <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Causes-Criminality-Perspectives-Individual-Differences/dp/0306429683/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240307550&sr=1-1" REL="nofollow">Eysenck</A>). They also as a group have a lower IQ (about 4 points lower). Again, group differences mean little for the individual (another reason why I can't answer the 'why am I a criminal' question).<br /><br />Dinah: Let me take you up a cliff. You'd enjoy it. Really. As far as In Treatment goes, that falls into the 'don't question success' category. I do like turtles, but I like guinea pigs better.<br /><br />Aspie: Thank youClinkShrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316134491751195651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-42645094936804305682009-04-20T22:34:00.000-04:002009-04-20T22:34:00.000-04:00i love your closing statement!i love your closing statement!manchester fat acceptance https://www.blogger.com/profile/11207482764987668705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-21584525353078843242009-04-20T18:57:00.000-04:002009-04-20T18:57:00.000-04:00Hmmm...I'm still thinking about this.

I know a fair number of them, some have temper problems (which seems like a different phenomena then say stealing...), but most of the criminals I know are either guided by their drug addictions or misbehave in the throes of intoxication. It's really different then risk taking.<br /><br />I don't get the hanging from cliffs thing. <br /><br />Chocolate, over and over, I don't see any "risk" involved. Is there a black box warning on it? Why would that be likened to criminality?<br /><br />I could ramble, but I'll spare you.<br /><br />And you can ask "Why does she blog about In Treatment over and over.Dinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227988351623862689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-8725384868967071082009-04-20T17:56:00.000-04:002009-04-20T17:56:00.000-04:00Well, there's a certain amount of lack of concern ...Well, there's a certain amount of lack of concern about other people or actual hatred of other people that goes into many crimes. For example: murder, stabbing someone, stealing things, breaking and entering, rapes. These are NOT just risk-taking behaviors; they are injuries to other people caused by hatred or lack of empathy or selfishness. <br /><br />To tell a criminal that when they broke into a home and bound and gagged the resident then stole everything and left the people to be discovered days later that it is "just human" and you are a "risk taker" who in an earlier age would have discovered America is not even true. <br /><br />People who violate parole probably ought not be thrown back in jail as the first step. There ought to be a program which helps released criminals become more responsible and show up when and where they are supposed to, which they are more likely to do if they are not heavily into drugs and alcohol and have a support system in place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-21080496779964028742009-04-20T15:54:00.000-04:002009-04-20T15:54:00.000-04:00gosh, you are one angry psychiatrist at the mo.
