--- Quote from: JAM101 on April 04, 2008, 07:19:29 PM ---Although non-specific concepts of madness have been around for several thousand years, the psychiatrist and philosopher Karl Jaspers was the first to define the three main criteria for a belief to be considered delusional in his book General Psychopathology. These criteria are:
* certainty (held with absolute conviction)
* incorrigibility (not changeable by compelling counterargument or proof to the contrary)
* impossibility or falsity of content (implausible, bizarre or patently untrue)
These criteria still continue in modern psychiatric diagnosis. In the most recent Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, a delusion is defined as:
A false belief based on incorrect inference about external reality that is firmly sustained despite what almost everybody else believes and despite what constitutes incontrovertible and obvious proof or evidence to the contrary. The belief is not one ordinarily accepted by other members of the person's culture or subculture (e.g., it is not an article of religious faith).

What are you guys protesting? The fact that Natalie/Adam/Ryan/Shelia played the game better? And what do you want BB to do about it? Be like "WAIT NO JAMES CAN'T GET EVICTED" and pick names out of a hat to see who goes?
Please clarify what you mean because I'm wondering what you want BB to do about it?
