i don't wish to spoil y'all fun or what, but you do know that some of these "weird" people you mentioned actually require medical attention right?
i think it's not wrong if you feel uneasy around them/scared of them...but imo, you should try not to think of mental illness that way.
mental ILLNESS is not called ILLNESS for no reason...
it's like flu, you sick, your body does weird things like green goo runs down your nose, then you see a doctor and receive treatment. sometimes you get better, sometimes you don't, sometimes you never recover. it's just that mental illnesses are harder to discuss because people know less about them. not like AIDS, cancer, H1N1, you all know what's that; but mental illness? not really sure. (im not saying it's anybody's fault, i'm just stating facts >.<) actually, a significant handful of people who are mentally ill don't have violent tendencies. unfortunately, those who do receive a lot of attention and media coverage when they screw up, and peaceful patients don't. so people all think crazy = will go around physically hurting people, but actually...it's not very fair imo to stereotype them like that.
basically, if you want to add on to the, can i say social stigma? well, it's your mouth & your brain, i can't stop you, but you guys do know you're not helping these people to recover right? ._.
and, guy who said woodbridge hospital is meant to lock patients up,
hospital: a place where sick people go to so they can receive medical care in attempt to recover from their illness(es).
hospitals are not places where you treat humans like animals gone berserk and lock them up.
well i'm just saying, cos certain (not all) posts in this thread are like, shockingly extreme ._.
don't forget, the mentally ill have feelings too ._.
