Throwing a cafeteria food tray on the ground is not equivalent to attempted murder.

People need to take responsibility for their actions, rather than hiding behind claims of mental illness. It's like celebrities & politicians who get in drunk driving crashes, and then check into a Malibu rehab center. It's a way for them to go from being considered an irresponsible criminal, to garnering sympathy for a mental illness.

There are those who hide behind claims of mental illness, but make no mistake the brain can be broke, damaged or need treatment just like any other part of the body. There are still a lot we don't know about the human brain, but there is a lot we DO know. If the brain is deficient is certain chemicals we know it can't operate normally. This is something that can be tested, and some times controlled with meds, ask our LG. Someone saying they don't believe in mental illness would be like someone saying they don't believe in cancer.

Or maybe the crutch of "mental illness" has become so widespread that people are no longer considered responsible for their own actions. Consider that..

- 20% of teen boys are now diagnosed with ADHD. Most are given prescription drugs. (link)

- 23% of all women ages 40 to 59 are taking prescription antidepressants. (link)

- 70% of Americans are currently taking at least one prescription drug (link).

It makes you wonder how human beings managed to survive for thousands of years without their ritalin and zoloft.

Every day, people get fed up, and quit their jobs with minor rants & tantrums. When JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater famously quit his job, ranted on the airplane intercom about how he had reached his limit with abusive passengers, grabbed two beers, activated the inflatable exit ramp, and slid away from the plane, he was hailed as a "working class hero". Are you saying that he was mentally ill too?

Sorry, but throwing your lunch tray on the ground, and storming out, does not automatically equate to "mental illness". It likely means that he's under stress, immature, and pissed off.

Your points are well taken. However, you too are not in a position to make an assessment. I can only hope he gets the help that is appropriate, mental illness or not. Mental Illness is probably over diagnosed in some respects and not so in others. Depends on the disorders and the validity of the assessment tools. A discussion that would be lengthy and not in the scope tonight.

Gauranteed. Blood in the water, team looking for answers, finger pointing, no leadership, the weak get eaten. Sadly, the opportunity to lead is born in these moments. But it takes a true leader to stand up for another man and bring order back to the chaos.

It doesn't sound like there is a leader in the locker room. If there is, he's not much of one. And maybe part of the problem, as well.

YOU KNOW all i kept hearing is everybody wanted to go younger or get younger , and imo it was over looked by some people (Fans) that they didnt understand that we need a vet (leadership) on the team to help get the YOUNGER GUYS BETTER, look what Ray Lewis did with the young guys , you have got to have leadership in house and if not THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ANY TEAM ..
 
Daniel Thomas, Lamar miller, michael egnew, dallas thomas, jonathan Martin, will allen.. Recent picks that all play soft. Do us a favor and draft FOOTBALL players not softies.
 
This team just pisses me off most of the time...this stuff is ridiculous.

:ponder:

I still have hope for Miller but will allen? Not sure what or who youre talking about, but when Will was here he was a good corner

edit- oops just saw you put davis my bad lol
 
I swear this team has been Murphy's law manifested the past few years.
 
i miss tony sparanos fist pumps. It was more entertaining than this shotgun dink n dunk crap. Sherman offense has to be the most boring offense in the nfl.
 
Wow. If I ever get a depression it's because of this piss poor organization. At least it's easy money tonight.
