What Is Normal? How Do You Define It?

[Road Runner]

I got the idea for this topic after what Relative Ethics keeps telling me about the fact that he doesn't believe he's normal because he has depression and Asperger's. I'm mentally challenged but I don't find myself any less of a normal person or smart person. (Even though I joke about it sometimes as I get kind of crazy. ) I just find it being different not being abnormal and the world would be a boring place if everybody was the same anyways.

Ethics are never relative. It is either ethical or you are willing to accept something less than ethical.

A normal life has been wasted living up to someone else's expectations.

Relative Ethics is a narcissist whack job. There is no such thing as normal. Everyone is a bit loony in one way or another--except me of course.

I always thought that he was pretty nice.

Normal is me not you.

Dangerously self-absorbed.

There is no normal person.

We are all nutjobs in our own way.

Some more than others.

Normal is average. It's defined every day on the Weather Channel

Just like the judge said about porn. "I can't define porn, but I know it when I see it".

I think that is pretty much the standard most of us use. Or, to be specific. Normal is what I am and the rest of you are not.

Health care professionals are discouraged from blaming mothers for drinking while pregnant and encouraged to make profits for big pharma.

Those are the primary the reason why shit like Asperger's, depression and ADD have been increasingly diagnosed in children. There is more money in treating it than fetal alcohol syndrome, which doesn't really have any treatment.

The kids are just going to be stupid for the rest of their lives no matter what drugs the taxpayers are forced to buy for them.

If I had to define normal I'd say it was what the vast majority of people do in any given situation.

"Normal" has become loaded term, but if you take it at a bald face... it's just what is most common or not unlikely to happen.

It's "normal" to see a toyota camry drive down your street, you don't think anything of it. It's not normal to see a Ferrari Indy car drive down your street.

God alone defines good and bad. Right and wrong. He will until the end of time, and there is nothing humans can do about it

The way "normal" was described and defined for us in school was..............

Normal is a societal standard of ideas, thoughts, and conditions that most people in any given society adhere to and live by.

Although "normal" is defined differently by each individual, "normal" in regards to society and it's standardizations are usually kept as the norm in the conditioning of that societies individuals.

I will have to disagree.

I've worked with retarded people before, and most of them are more "normal" than any "normal" person I've ever met or worked with is!!!

 

[Gabe Lackmann]

And you!

Thank you! I also have Autism and Depression. I do not work. I do not view myself as inferior to Normies! Proud to be an Aspie!
