Title: TheGreatMax has Associative Looseness
Post by: Lovins on March 01, 2009, 03:31:00 pm
So my girlfriend, who is a nursing major, had a worksheet where she had to match certain mental disorders with an example of something the diagnosed patient might say. This is the example that matched Associative Looseness.

"We wanted to take the bus but the airport took all the traffic. Driving is the ticket when you want to get somewhere. No one needs a ticket to heaven, we have it all in our pockets."

Sound like a certain guy around here?? (https://forums.the-elite.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ezboard.com%2Fintl%2Faenglish%2Fimages%2Femoticons%2Flaugh.gif&hash=657f1346088ce2081c398c7379c3a47e4cf5861b)

I showed her a few of his posts and the GreatMax posts topic and she said yeah definitely a case of that.

*Googles*

"The topics and ideas that the schizophrenic patient is trying to relay do not connect and therefore, do not make sense to the listener. There is a lack of threads that connect one thought with another."

*Agrees*

Holy shit that sounds exactly like him. Now I feel a tad bad. We were making fun of a kid with a disorder. Back to making fun of alecboy imo.
