Brain Scans could aid Diagnosis of CTE in Living

[Sharkinva]

you dont watch movies ... because they are movies ?



it sounds like 90% of the people here have not watched it ...

and have come to a conclusion based on something they have not watched, lol

it sounds like men being stubborn burring the head in the sand refusing to listen

I admit I havent watched the movie, mainly because I find that movies like this are intended to paint a certain picture of a particular issue. The timing of the movie also was not an accident, as it was in the height of the NFL concussion suite. I also think to a degree its the new ADHD and it will not shock me if in the next few years, half the league will be diagnosed with some degree of CTE based on the fact that if you have played football for the amount of time required to make it into the NFL... you have had the old noggin knocked at least a few times.

This is in no way to say it doesnt exist, or is a phantom ailment. Just to say, at what point does CTE become the ailment of choice every time some one who played football and got their head knocked does something fucked up? Yea it sucks, but its not like there are not other mental issues not caused by head trauma and people dont get a pass either.

watch the movie

i can keep repeating myself

about how skeptical i was before i watched the movie ...

but go watch it ... then come back and reread your posts

& see if you dont have a different perspective

@Krusheasy Not for nothing. But if not for this revelation that Hernandez apparently had CTE, he exhibited quite of the traits of your classic sociopath.

right ... sociopath tendencies that would... a high percent of the time.... remained dormant if not for beccoming triggered with the onset of brain damage

i feel like they mention that in the movie ... it has to do with Chris Benoit too

The first part was me pretending to be Steelers Pride. Almost an exact quote.

It isn't stubborn not to believe propaganda hiding behind scientific claims with an agenda.

right ... but it becomes exacerbated ?

watch the movie

then come back and debate the qualities of the movie

It can be exacerbated...or he can just be a sociopath. If he wasn't an asshole before he murdered people, you might be able to convince people.

The quality of the movie has no bearing on the propaganda or the science.

the tendency to act out on his sociopath traits become exacerbated with brain damage ???

you're trying to say the movie is biased

or

has bad science ?

without having watched the film

like i said ... watch the movie

Scans Show Former NFL Star and Convicted Murderer Aaron Hernandez Had Severe …

Look at the scans, I'll provide more later in a comparative analysis.

Damn GK, a bit harsh on the non perfect among us huh?

It can be. It doesn't mean it is. Maybe he is just a sociopath.

I am saying watching the movie won't change my opinion on the science or the bias.

Shark already mentioned the timing of the movie and it screams of an agenda. I don't use movies as a pillar for science. So watching the movie does nothing for my belief in the science. Like I said, if Hernandez wasn't already an asshole, maybe I would have sympathy.

Not at all. I didn't hang him. He did that himself, after he had already murdered people.

i am trying to say it was educational ... you might learn something

and if the movie was blatantly making up shit

I am purdy sure the medical industry would have stood up and said

this is bullshit

Making up shit and bias are two separate things.

at this point you're just arguing to argue

i'll drink to that

Not arguing at all. Stating a point.

 

[Stymietee]

What you're looking at are comparative brain scan in relation to early and late stages of CTE.

Are we talking about the same medical industry that has systematically declared that the majority of our children have some form of unbalance that requires them to be on drugs for life? The same medical industry that has'nt found a cure for any major or even minor nuisance since they found a cure for polio. But they have sure worked with the drug companies to make sure they can treat the symptoms of every thing from Aids to cancer to most of your STD's... well as long as you can afford it and have good insurance.

The Medical industry fucking loves it when they discover some new ailment that will require those that have it to take drugs and visit the doctor every month for life.

Yea that medical industry.

Sociopathic behavior/tendencies are also medical disorders. To paraphrase Whodini and their song "Friends" Let me ask: "how many of us have them?"
