If there was legislation outlawing mental hospitals would you support it?

They're a form of bigotry in action. Against those who think differently. "Bro"-hating hence anti-Italian, "Friends"-watching, also hence anti-Italian, nonsense.

That way "crazy"-sayers have no power.

I won't strip former workers of works but I would have that profession outlawed.

Update:

That's nonsense. "Crazy" is a slur.

For me, stopping that is not enough. The remarks about "crazy" is bigotry. I would definietely cripple all mental hospitals. Even the more "humane" and lack-of-violence ones.

Although drugging is naturally going to be part of the bigotry.

Update 2:

Mental hospitals are inherently bad.

Update 3:

They're humiliating, cruel and unusual punishment.

And it's the bigotry against those who think differently - cause "crazy" as a word exists only for that reason.

Yes I would support legislation banning all mental hospitals.

Update 4:

I don't care.

Update 5:

yay

You're part of the problem bro

Update 6:

yay

Incarceration is better. There's no inherent insults for criminals, like there are "crazy"

so talk to the hand. Not interested. I hope all mental hospitals ban.

And please... criminals don't be criminals because of some "mental illness." That's just insulting nonsense made up.

Update 7:

That concern "for their safety" is a condescending concern. It's not a genuine concern. This supposed concern is followed by insulting remarks.

Even blacks who say "crazy" don't say this condescending insulting contemptous nonsense. Hence why I only get annoyed when white libs say "crazy."

    Mental hospitals that lock people away and give them no help except kicking them and drugging them.. Yeah. Those can go to hell.

    But some people are indeed mentally unstable and need care, you know? Like the people who are a genuine danger to themselves and to others that need to be cared for, protected and given help so they can be healthy again.

    I guess it depends on the situation and the actual care the hospital provides.

    Have you ever lived with someone who genuinely made you fear for their safety and your own, and you knew that jail would in no way provide them with the help they needed? That's what mental hospitals are for. I'm not saying there's no abuse or corruption and that the entire system is without fault, but for some people they're the only option we have besides homelessness or actual incarceration.
