In recent times many advances have been made in clinical psychology. One is our ability to diagnose certain individuals with chronic diseases which could possibly be treated. By doing so, we can insure the welfare of the rest of the community. Hence I submit to you a case-study of jim. I Plan to use several quotes as examples and psychological textbooks to analyze his disorder(s).The Problem: jim's problem can be linked to several sources. Trouble at home, abusive parents, lack of self-esteem, lack of a feeling of accomplishment, or even male insecurities. Let's take a look: http://www.detonate.net/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000965.html In this discussion, jim erratically, almost obsessively, tries to prove that men in general are better then women in general. By doing so he subconsciously tries to bolster his masculinity. In another example: http://www.detonate.net/ubb/Forum10/HTML/000191-2.html jim again uses petty insults and picks fights with other community members in order to feel as if his own 'member' were more powerful. The next step in my investigation will be to try and diagnose jim's problem. Frequent outburst of uncontrolled testosterone induced rage at other community members leads me to believe that jim suffers from an Impulse Control Disorder known as Intermittent Explosive Disorder, which can be defined as: Episodes of aggressive outbursts resulting in either destruction of property or physical assaults on others. Typically, this problem results in legal problems as well, because the individual is often charged with assault, or a domestic violence charge. Loss of control is an essential feature of this disorder. The individual, usually male, has had several incidents of losing control of anger, resulting in aggressive acting out, either by assaulting others, or destroying property. The degree of aggression is always out of proportion to any precipitating factors that might be present (within an argument, for example). Typically, these individuals will not take responsibility for their loss of control, instead blaming the victim, other circumstances in their life, or some third party who may have told them something or said something that "caused" their uncontrolled anger. Lack of control is a central part of the problem, and inability to accept responsibility for the aggression helps to alleviate guilt. It also prevents the individual from making any changes. If this were the case, I would use both behavioral and cognitive interventions for this type of control problem. In particular, anger management techniques are needed, as well as discovering a way to deflect the anger so that it can be controlled. However, there are other possibilities. Since Explosive Anger Outbursts are not jim's only problem, I have looked into other possible disorders. One is Narcissistic Personality Disorder - An individual with this disorder is in love with himself/herself, and has little positive regard for others other than in a superficial manner. They tend to be grandiose in how they present themselves, and tend to demand admiration from others.They believe they are special and deserve special treatment, regardless of the problems this creates for others. They readily take advantage of others, and tend to be quite arrogant. In actuality, they are very sensitive, and tend to not be able to tolerate any criticism or negative feedback. They usually seek treatment because they are frustrated in getting what they want. However, they often do not seek treatment, because they perceive everyone else as causing the problems, not themselves. This disorder more easily explains jim's insecurities. As jim's disorder(s) are not typical and somewhat hard to diagnose in the community environment, more research should be done. I have sent this paper to relative professors in the field, for some feedback. Of course, it could just be that jim is an arrogant sexist asshole from texas. I havn't ruled out that possibility.

Point is CatKnight, you purposely flame me in everythread trying to call my opinions racist, sexist, immature... Whatever. That's why you are a dumb fuck. Then when others step in and agree with me you simply leave the thread. Own up to it bitch! Keep it coming... Now we have this little thread for you to whine some more... You are a dumb fuck, you have no point, and you are now completely wasting my time.

This is really more of an informational post here, but there is an even better way to link to a person's post than just the html file for the page containing the post. If you add a # and then the reply number to the address, it will link directly to that post.For example, this post here can be directly accessed by http://www.detonate.net/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000967.html#12 edit: Double-checked the proper number. To find out what number to use, look at the link properties for the Edit button above that post. In the http address, you will see ReplyNum=<some number>. Just an FYI for those who want to use better linking. *side bar* I think this functionality is not part of the regular UBB but rather is added through a patch. I recall cr0bar mentioning something about patches and hacks he's added to UBB for better functionality. ------------------ When 1337 hax0rs start impaling each other with swords and typing code with a hook on one hand, then they can modify the term "pirate."

Catknight: what the fuck is your problem with starting topics to where the main intent is your fucking hatred of another person. SO WHAT, you are fucking pessimistic, and cant seem to ignore people. why do you intentionally start shit with other people? what's the purpose? am i going to be the subject of the next thread you start? if you just take a simple glance at the threads started, they are mostly by you. sometimes they are somewhat interesting, but they do seem to get a little annoying after like four in a row. yes, zodiaccow was a fucking retard, that was blatently obvious. yes, jim happens to be very opinionated, but i believe that if he wasnt you'd still find someone or something to dislike and point it out to everyone else. i really think you arent nearly as bad as some of the fuckwads we have here, but i truthfully think this thread was a little eccentric. when will your strong desire for blood finally be ceased? yeesh.
