Despite the generalization, despite the inflamatory title, I think that JinnKai presented his argument in a clear and logical manner.
I agree with Fresnelly response.
I'm terribly dissapointed with most of the responses here. I conceed that I haven't noticed any 'controling' trends in previous threads by the OP. I also fail to see the controlling intent in this one. The original post specifically asked for reponses based on the logic of his arguement, so I'm going off on a tangent by responding to the other responses.

A technique and a logical approach that very well could work to help people deal with depression. Presented in, from my perspective, with altruistic reasons. With clear disclaimers about potentially offending people.
I hate to make unjustified claims because I don't know the backgrounds of the respondants, but from my first reading; I percieved the responses that attack/address the originl poster instead of the original post as the knee-jerk reactions of offended people who have been or are "depressed".
