VINCE PROVED BONEHEAD ON OWN SITE!

[mburbank]

Vince recently posted an article on his site detiling his struggle with ODD, Opositional Deffiant Disorder. I found it illuminating. Here's a description of ODD from a website on childhood disorders:

"Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)

What is it?

ODD is a psychiatric disorder that is characterized by two different sets of problems. These are aggressiveness and a tendency to purposefully bother and irritate others.

four or more of the following are present:

* 1. Often loses temper
* 2. often argues with adults
* 3. often actively defies or refuses to comply with adults' requests or rules
* 4. often deliberately annoys people
* 5. often blames others for his or her mistakes or misbehavior
* 6. is often touchy or easily annoyed by others
* 7. is often angry and resentful
8. is often spiteful and vindictive"



Vince claims his father 'cured' him with beatings. While this goes long way toward explaining Vinces preoccupation with violence, the 'cures' he sites were only temporary, and so 'cure' is perhaps not the right word.

Here's another quote from the site on childhood disorders:
"What happens to children who have this when they grow up?
…the child may continue to have ODD. Recent work suggests that this is probably the most common path."


I think I understand you better now, Vince.
