If the insane outnumbered the sane, would the sane be classed as insane?
 

;)

Sanity is subjective though

I remember reading a quote similar to the title, its always stood out as one of my favourites :)

Also, it is a good topic of conversation :3

Bitch... Your making my brain hurt

I don't think it's possible to define sanity and insanity so easily. There are different levels, behaviours, characteristics, etc. So I suppose if there were more insane than sane, it would be switched.

No because of why people are insane

Say schizophrenia was the only mental illness and 60% of people had it ... then probably the 40% who don't have it would be the insane ones because the little voice doesn't tell them what to do :joker:

The word insane is an adjective to describe a person. So yes the tables can be turned over and change the meaning of the word.

Not all schizophrenic people are 'insane', some can control their illness :blush:

According to the psychiatrist R.D. Laing "insanity is a sane reaction to an insane world."

I know, my auntie has it and ironically is a psychologist :joker: But if she doesn't take her meds she goes mental

I can't remember the film - I think it was Conspiracy - but one of the actors says, "Look at the world and tell me the pleasures of sanity". Don't know why that entered my thoughts there really! It's just that I've always felt we're all a bit insane, in varying degrees obviously.

What about people with ASPD, are they insane? Plently more of them about than we think...

So you have been to Dublin, big deal.

Sanity isn't that straightforward and is hard to measure. That's what my shrink says, anyway. You never know what's going on in people's heads.

Plus, the insane don't think about being crazy... they've got other things to do.

Nobody is sane.

The lunatics have been in charge of the asylum for years. Fact.

Some of the comments on this forum are enough to make anyone insane!

I actually believe this to be true. I think it is impossible for anybody to be truly sane. The human mind is a very complex system of thoughts and emotions.
