Let's talk about what we consider normal. |

Like I said, I consider riding 200 miles a week on a bicycle normal. You? Probably not so much.
So what abnormality do you have that you consider 'normal'?

missing teeth, being too fat, anxiety, sinusitis; I consider to be abnormal. So I guess I don't really know.

2. it's all relative. unfortunately some insist on looking at the world compared to their own. |

When I was a kid I thought it was normal to not have running water and heat and food. I thought it was normal to raise myself. It wasn't. But let's think of the things that were once considered not normal....

3. When I was a kid being gay was considered/classified as a mental |
|
illness. One could find themselves in a metal institution getting shock therapy just because they were gay. At least that's gone too.

9. Actually, it's not. Some parents still send their children to "reeducation camps" |
|
where the children are tortured with electroshock therapy and psychological abuse in an effort to "cure" being gay.
