I hate it myself when I realise I have been lured into arguing with a troll.

Maybe you should look in the mirror and figure out how you ended up raising a multiple convicted felon.

Again ... you obviously don't know how it works because you obviously haven't been there.

Psychiatrists diagnose malingering (faking) all the time. Classic case: inmate gets caught with weapons and drugs, is being sent to the hole. Inmate suddenly claims he's suicidal or has some other mental condition ... because he doesn't want to go to the hole.

The psychiatrists frequently determine that these inmates aren't, in fact, suicidal and send them to the hole all of the time because they know the inmate is faking.

When the state started shipping a lot of inmates out of state ... the mental health department was suddenly flooded with claims from inmates that they had mental problems. They didn't have any previous mental history but now, all of the sudden, they claimed illness.

Why? Because they didn't want to go out of state. Again ... mental health frequently cleared them because it was obvious that these inmates were trying to manipulate the system and didn't have any mental problems at all.

There are many truly mentally ill people in the system but there's also a lot of manipulators. You do know these are inmates, right? They're not exactly the most honest people.

I'm talking about crack cocaine versus powder cocaine.

Why are you still pretending that you have?

Although I must commend your very active imagination.

Perhaps you ould you like to tell us a new story? Seen any aliens?

You think school teachers are well paid? Good health and retirement?
Teachers are barely earning over welfare income. Medicare provides better health than they get.
