    Bravo! The Left are the delusionals.

    A delusion is an unshakable belief in something untrue. These irrational beliefs defy normal reasoning, and remain firm even when overwhelming proof is presented to dispute them. Delusions are often accompanied by hallucinations and/or feelings of paranoia, which act to strengthen confidence in the delusion. Delusions are distinct from culturally or religiously based beliefs that may be seen as untrue by outsiders.

    Description

    Delusions are a common symptom of several mood and personality-related mental illnesses, including schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia, shared psychotic disorder, major depressive disorder, and bipolar disorder. They are also the major feature of delusional disorder. Individuals with delusional disorder suffer from long-term, complex delusions that fall into one of six categories: persecutory, grandiose, jealousy, erotomanic, somatic, or mixed. There are also delusional disorders such as dementia that clearly have organic or physical causes.

    Persecutory
    Individuals with persecutory delusional disorder are plagued by feelings of paranoia and an irrational yet unshakable belief that someone is plotting against them, or out to harm them.

    Grandiose
    Individuals with grandiose delusional disorder have an over-inflated sense of self-worth. Their delusions center on their own importance, such as believing that they have done or created something of extreme value or have a “special mission.”

    Jealousy
    Jealous delusions are unjustified and irrational beliefs that an individual’s spouse or significant other has been unfaithful.

    Erotomanic
    Individuals with erotomanic delusional disorder believe that another person, often a stranger, is in love with them. The object of their affection is typically of a higher social status, sometimes a celebrity. This type of delusional disorder may lead to stalking or other potentially dangerous behavior.

    Somatic
    Somatic delusions involve the belief that something is physically wrong with the individual. The delusion may involve a medical condition or illness or a perceived deformity. This condition differs from hypochondriasis in that the deformity is perceived as a fixed condition not a temporary illness.

    Mixed
    Mixed delusions are those characterized by two or more of persecutory, grandiose, jealousy, erotomanic, or somatic themes.

  6. A patient recently gave me the perfect description for some of these idiots, particularly those off the environmental deep-end. This patient was, rather disturbingly, referring to herself (and I don’t think knew what the words really meant), but here it is:

    “Chronic Pathological Misanthropy.”

    Oxford concise dictionary says a misanthrope is someone who hates mankind.

  7. This so funny!!!

    Courtesy of our Beloved Theo Spark.


    The Pope and Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC) are on the same stage in front of a huge crowd.
    ‘Her Majesty’ and His Holiness, however, have seen it all before, so to make it a little more interesting, the senator says to the Pope, “Did you know that with just one little wave of my hand I can make every Democrat in the crowd go wild?”
    He doubts it, so she shows him. Sure enough, the wave elicits rapture and cheering from every democrat in the crowd. Gradually, the cheering subsides.

    The Pope, not wanting to be out done by such a level of arrogance, considers what he could do. “That was impressive. But did you know that with just one little wave of MY hand I can make EVERY person in the crowd go crazy with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display like that of your subjects, but will go deep into their hearts, and they will forever speak of this day and rejoice.”

    The senator seriously doubts this, and says so. “One little wave of your hand and all people will rejoice forever? Show me.”

    So the Pope slapped her.

  20. Whilst perambulating on my way to work this morning i happened to catch the local ABC morning programme which had one of these nanny state bludgers on. (some “road safety institute”)

    He was moaning and pissing about how speed limits should be dropped by 10KMPH “or more” for our own good. I only had half an ear on it when the waste of skin blurted out some crap about how doing that would also “assist in fighting greenhouse emissions by X amount per year”.
    Has anyone else heard a more desperate attempt to link their pet cause to GW?

    Id like to start the ball rolling by claiming refusing to send me free beer increases my personal emissions as I have to drive to a pub instead. So send me free beer, OR DO YOU HATE THE EARTH!!!

  21. Murph, I have no idea. But there is no way that he can’t be partially responsible for the Liberal loss.

    He was responsible for selling WorkChoices to begin with, and screwed that up, and then when he got a job that should have been slightly easier, the Haneef caper came up, and he screwed that up even though there was certainly something dodgy about Haneef.

    Posted by Ash_ on 2007 12 06 at 07:04 AM • permalink

  22. Frollicking, if they drop the speed limit 10km/h, doesn’t that mean your car will be emitting carbon for longer? And therefore bad for Mother Gaia?

    We’re definitely dealing with idiots here.

  34. #26, Frollicking, I am sure that Rudd Jnr does not understand the concept that although the public transport is called “public”, you are not allowed to do what you like when on their property. 

    You can’t eat, smoke or drink on a bus or train.  You can’t put your filthy feet up on the seats, and you can’t leave your coke cans and newspapers behind for someone else to clean up. These companies can choose to limit certain behaviours they find undesirable - ie, ones that usually offend other patrons.

    Filming on someone elses property for your own personal profit is something that usually annoys people.  All he had to do was apply for a filming permit, fill out the usual paperwork and pay the fee and they probably would have provided an escort.

    Stupid bastard thought that he could skip out on paying anything as rules do not apply to people like him.

  36. It would appear that there are no depths to which that publicity hound Terri Irwin won’t sink in order to keep the cash rolling in.

    I liked Steve Irwin, he was a ratbag, but also a genuine bloke who went out and did something about his passion in life.

    The industry that has sprung up around his death from his family is nothing short of bizarre, and the re-naming of a *gag* Greenpeace ship as “Steve Irwin” is appalling.

    The Navy should fling a missile at it on principle.

  37. #26 Well, he’s an artist isn’t he. That gives him rights that mere mortals don’t have. Although, I wonder what his response would have been if someone had picked up the painting and broken it over his head and then told him they were just exercising their own artistic freedom of expression.

    OT - Mind boggling quote of the day:

    Looking back, I feel we missed something by not realizing that a guy who uses a knife to attack a woman is dangerous.

  38. #234, I can’t access that clip, but I used to love the Top Cat song! Hated Top Cat bu enjoyed the series. Officer Dibble’s name was soooo cool!

    #237, Phillip A not only agreed with him but before that had said that at least “our side” ie the Left is more “affectionate”. They both agreed that the Left is hate-free, does humour whereas the right doesn’t, and both lamented the “hate” that infects the post 9/11 right view of the left.
    #239, that’s right, Leunig feels that Blair really loves him or some such thing. (Check the transcript on the site for total accuracy). I think it comes from the view that if you’re paid negative attention that too is love.

  39. #238, I find that sheer incredulity often forces involuntary control of bodily functions! The thing was a love feast. i wouldn’t have minded straight criticism, but they genuinely think they are more lovable little characters, more endearing than those of the right, a self-delusion I find amazing.

    At least I’d find it more amazing had I not been exposed to the Myers-Briggs personality divisions a while ago!

  40. #34 Unfortunately I seem to use a different public transport to that you use. All the irritating and offensive actions you describe happen daily on the trams here. The company doesn’t really seem to care (beyond putting up notices that people ignore), partly I think because they are in a ridiculous not-quite-private not-quite-public ownership environment and don’t really depend on the quality of service (other than roughly meeting the timetables) for income.

    #270, 272, Theres not much point dropping the speed limit in country WOZ, its 110 now but most folk do at least 120. Especially the Territorians on our side of the border, they still rekon the limit is 130.

    As for saving the whales, we should use one of our flashy collins class subs to ‘intercept’ the jap whaling fleet somewhere near the Marianas, by the time we get down there to find out what happened KRudd will have been rolled and The Red Witch will have to deal with it…
