Definition of crazy?

[IJesusChrist]

What is your definition of crazy.

You see a man mumbling to himself, is he crazy?
You see a man support big oil & industry and shit on the planet, is he crazy?
You see a man kill himself for no reason, is he crazy?
You see a man kill someone else only because it pleases him, is he crazy?
You see a man collecting plastic bags, is he crazy?

Feel free to exchange all woman/her/she with the man/him/he.

What is your definition?

We got a saying saying here in that can be roughly translated: "Being crazy i'nt as bad as being stupid" It simply means acting eccentric, or "crazy" if you will is ok if it makes you happy, but harming to yourself or anyone else for no good reason is abominable.

 

[BrainEater]

you can find the realms/roots of madness in the deepness of the infinite oceans of your own mind like you can find no battling of a competent killer's eyelashes' while he cuts the throats of living beings.

the definition of "crazy" holds weight on collective and subjective consciousness. like a shadowy presence lurking thru the labyrinths in the more or less trapped minds, like a shadow which strives for cloudiness or light cutting thru the latter aggregate state like a hot knife thru butter.

undoubtedly crazy are they who choose to be crazy.
probably crazy are they who didn't decide to choose to be crazy.
possibly crazy are they who choose to decide.
crazy are they who choose to be crazy and are not.
crazy are they who are crazy and choose not to be so.

it's a crazy world..... so it's only logical that many people on it's surface are crazy, too.

the social connotations and implications that come with a popular word like crazy, make me despise it. it is a word i cannot use freely, unless i have already alluded toward my point. it can never be a "fulcrum" word in debate. popular words are ALWAYS misunderstood (the bane of this website...). you think of the word crazy, then you say it 50 more times in your head, and come to the conclusion that the way YOU think of "crazy" is not what other people think it is.
it wouldn't do anybody justice to tell you what I believe crazy means, unless you'd personally care to know. and even then, the rest of the forum will still be horribly uneducated on the meaning...

since but only a few actually interpret the information on this site, instead of just wiping your eyes on it... :evil:

Crazy is a crazy word hehe.

Definitions of crazy:

noun: someone deranged and possibly dangerous
adjective: marked by foolish or unreasoning fondness
Example: "She was crazy about him"
adjective: foolish; totally unsound
Example: "A crazy scheme"
adjective: intensely enthusiastic about or preoccupied with
Example: "Crazy about cars and racing"
adjective: possessed by inordinate excitement
Example: "The crowd went crazy"
adjective: bizarre or fantastic
Example: "Had a crazy dream"
adjective: affected with madness or insanity

I have no defintion for it, for me crazy is crazy, its as simple as that.

"Dude, that's crazy!" reffering to something out of the ordinary. Ordinary meaning something that Im used to.

But its all in how I express crazy. If I express it like: "Dude that's crazy!", its like "Dude, you shouldn't do that!", but "Dude, that's crazy (and with a paus on the vowel a)!", its like "Dude, that was cool, I wanna try/do it!".

even if your question was (or alluded to) "whats your definition of an insane person?" i dont think i could answer you, because the words have too many meanings and (false?)negative associations

 

[spice]

crazy- " something that exists outside the limitations of my/your/our paradigm "

 

[ophiuchus]

yes i think it's necessary to be very general on these grounds. i like that one though^

The modification in the DNA of a large population is somewhat ... uncomfortable in the long-term.

 

[IJesusChrist]

It's been going on since the beginning of DNA :wink:

 

[ImTrippingStupid]

Personally I think "Crazy" is about as hard to define as "Normal". I see it as each of these could be a multitude of different things depending on who you ask and what the given situation is. Some might think those that think outside the box are crazy but history has proven that sometimes these people are most brilliant.

If you guys live in the U.S. I recommend going to see shutter Island, it's pretty interesting, and made me totally relive my paranoid psychosis days

Where is that? Never heard of it.

Haha it's a movie. Very good one in my opinion... (Hollywood movie but still)

 

[magickmumu]

it depends on the culture and the government. what is considered crazy is defined by culture.
