I still think people just don't get it. If you've ever spent a little time with a bi-polar or mentally ill person you'd know that it isn't so cut n dry. From my experience with the issue they can be fine and taking meds but with any challenge in life they are easily set off. The right medications can take months to prescribe. The common refrain is that this doesn't absolve his behavior. Well it sure does explain it. I'd go so far as to guess he's high functioning. That just means he can work for a while. And severe insomnia. Isn't that the same thing Michael Jackson had? My point is it's a legit problem.

Be here all day if I was to discuss the shortcomings of the DSM V...I'm somewhat of a professional myself. Do you really rate the DSM V as an authoritative source, considering homosexuality was in there up until 1973? I wonder if 'histrionic personality disorder' is still in there.
Chris Brown!...as everyone knows, other individuals who've 'committed' the same or worse but are of a lesser hue, get a pass...
The 'labels', Chris receives by the 'dominant' society...are infinitely worse than the diagnostic ones given above. None of them have to be accepted.

Providing an explanation, or partial explanation, for his awful behavior over the years is a start, but it's not an excuse for his behavior, and it doesn't mean I have to like him any more for it. Even Hitler was innocent at one point. It doesn't mean he's not to blame for being a monster. My Legacy

No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.
Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected. Need more sleep than coke or methamphetamine. | |

Chris is so far deep even this couldn't make me give a fuck. It's a sad situation, but man he's a horrible person. | |
