Mental illness is actually a big reason for our homeless problem. They can't get or hold a job, can't afford medical insurance and eventually lose their ID and what not and it's over for them...homeless and stranded.
It's easy to say that homelessness is just laziness or drugs but there's normally more of an underlying factor to it...mental illness.
And I'm surprised all the conservatives on this site don't realize this. I've also found that people of the conservative mindset are less tolerant concerning mental illness, more likely to think anyone can will themselves out of it or think that it's a character defect. If they had their way they'd probably want to send everyone who can't work to the gas chambers.
I think I speak for most conservatives when I say you are deranged. Conservatives do recognize that there are some mental conditions, we also realize that sometimes things like ADHD are used as cop outs. It isn't a cut and dry issue, however the idea to kill someone simply because they may be wired differently in the head is just plain unethical.

I know for a fact that plenty of conservatives consider Asperger's to be a cop out. That evil cretin Sharron Angle in fact thought all services for (using quote motions with her fingers) autism should be cut. Just because you are more enlightened on the subject of being wired differently doesn't mean all conservatives are.

I can't stand how the ghost of Nazism has to be brought up in regard to modern German society. The current German social net is not connected to the Nazis, at all.

Couldn't agree more. It's still haunting us.

Conservatives are more likely to try and harass and humiliate people with Asperger's and/or severe/chronic depression for relying on SSI after running into a brick wall in terms of trying to work. They are terrified that anyone might be getting a "free ride" off their tax dollars to the point where they would want to delegitimize certain disabilities and mental illnesses.
