I sympathize with Alex on this one. As someone with bipolar disorder, I understand the feeling of having a mental illness that is horribly misunderstood. I have yet to see it portrayed accurately on tv, its always accompanied by dementia or churned to a hyper-speed that just isn't how it works.

Everyone has something valid to say so far here. Mental illness by itself typically does not create a harmful person (certain illnesses are exceptions, sociopathy for example). That being said, its worth noting that mental illness needs to be properly handled, treated, and worked with.

Thank you for your sympathy Gorzo, and I sympathize with you as we'll. While my Aspergers is a smaller case (basically a higher functioning version than most), I've noticed that people who were my friends have veered away from me, and even though I try to convince them it's nothing to worry about, it's affecting my relations with them and others. Even my teachers act differently. It's kinda scary to be honest.

Umm.... Gilded only works once per turn in less you have multiples out. This doesn't work. Also, this should be in Combos section.

I want to clear a few things up. The Newtown incident has caused people to blame mass murders on Mental Illnesses. Having a mental illness myself (Aspergers Syndrome), I take major offense. People that blame an incident on something most of them know nothing about is absurd. Most people will only hear of the disease for the first time because of this. It makes them more hostile towards Aspies, and it really irritates me.

Does anyone else agree that people are blaming this incident on us (Aspies) is a little outlandish?

Exactly. Mirri, Niv-Mizzett, mikaeus, sygg, rorix, ertai, balthor, braids, akroma, isperia, ashling, I think there's only 1 or 2 more.

Don't forget Rakdos.

My school just received a bomb threat yesterday. It was scary. They locked down the whole place.

You are all quite welcome for the hotkeys. Glad to see this is still around.

Gun/bomb threats and teen pregnancies were the norm at my high school.

Teen Pregnancies seem to be the norm anywhere. People can't keep thier pants on anymore these days.

Pretty sure it happens at least once in most areas. It's a shame really.
