Have you ever known a crazy person?

[Irving]

So I came across this video of Aileen Wuornos the day before she was executed. I believe this is the lady that the movie Monster was based upon. Here is the video THERE IS SOME LANGUAGE. The reason I show this video to you though, is that I used to deliver pizza with a lady, that was pretty much exactly like this lady. When she is talking about sonic pressure crushing her head, and helicopters coming out of the sky... we used to hear this lady we worked with talk about this stuff ALL the time. Instead of sonic pressure it was always Phase 4 laser pointers that would mess with her head, and little men with green masks that would always shoot her with blow darts, flying crafts that would shine a green light onto her vagina (not kidding), and semi-truck drivers that had an extendable arm that would come out of the truck and throw cars off the road. She was 5-foot nothing and wore a trench coat with a bullet hole in the pocket. Kind of frightening that she was making deliveries to people's homes. Anyway, have you ever known anyone that you were SURE was crazy? I'd bet on my former co-worker being schizophrenic.

Not everyone is born "normal" and that is life. Maybe someday that won't be PC to say and I'll get ban hammer but today I think it is acceptable.

I've met a few crazy people, but no one nearly as crazy as that Aileen Wuornos, that bitch is certifiably nuts-o! Although, I did meet a guy who was in Colorado for a couple years, Navy vet from just after the first Gulf War, had conspiracies out the hooha, 9/11, the Majestic 12, "chemtrails" (he had very limited knowledge on aviation related science), etc. He honestly thought George W. Bush was pure evil, apart of some evil plan to take over the world with his "new world order" and become the de-facto ruler of America for life. Of course I asked how Obama became president and he started spouting some sort of nutcase talk I really couldn't follow.

Everybody experiences different things that push them to different extremes. There is a fine line being genius and crazy. There is a fine line between paranoid and prepared. Even then the eye of the beholder judges differently.

By some, maybe a lot of people, there are people on this very board who are considered paranoid and prepared/equipped for civil war or???

Crazy as in certified, crazy as you're fukin crazy man, crazy as in different ?

Theres a person in the neighborhood, who has a psychological issue, whether she is state certified or not is unknown.

People on this board and elsewhere, think people who don't wear helmets are crazy. We're Gun Nuts, etc.

Define Crazy as your baseline for the thread

Define Crazy as your baseline for the thread

Someone that you, with no experience in the field, feel confident would be labed with a specific disorder if they ever found themselves under the focus of a mental health professional. Or, anyone that you feel is worth telling a story about. ZeroTheory had a good example.

The lady I worked with thought that one of the other delivery girls was renting the room next door, and at night, would drill small holes in the wall, put a straw through, and blow bugs into the room that would then bite her.
Very similar to the coathanger thing.

Once I found a cell phone laying in the snow outside and picked it up to look through it, and it was full of pictures of bugs on the wall and bruises on body parts. Didn't take long to figure out whose it was. This lady would call the regional manager and leave messages complaining about random employees messing with her head with their class 4 laser pointers. We'd always have to warn the new management to expect that stuff.

Several.

Then again I know some liberals who probably think the same of me just because I don't buy the global warming crap.

Yeah...I used to work in a residential care facility in another state. I got to know quite a few people who (when not on their meds) were completely batshit, unsafe, crazy. Of course, when the majority of these folks were on their baseline, you really had no clue they suffered from mental illness.
