prejudiced? yes, of course. I don't regard excellent academic attainment and a dazzling white-collar career is the ideal all should strive for, but I think perpetual apathy and misery is a pretty amazing definition of "how someone wants to live". i'm fairly sure it wouldn't be her "choice".
self-important? crawl the **** out of yourself.

By saying that these people are incapable, as a result of mental illness, to make these decisions for themselves you are removing their right to live as they so choose.

No, I'm not. I'm saying "I don't think this is what they want, so we should
offer them whatever help they're prepared to take" - food and shelter, for instance.

My point was that if you are going to do that why not just go the whole hog and forcibly cure them? It's equivalent to treatment other people suffering from mental illnesses receive after all.
In short your mealy-mouth, self involved diatribe about why we should be interfering in the choices of others is repulsive to me.

you put words in my mouth - ones I
vehemently disagree with - and then tear into me for expressing them? ****ing christ.
