If someone is mentally disordered, then should that be publicly identified?

Yes

VS.

No

Side Score: 8

Yes, certain mental illnesses, such as paedophilia, clinical depression and any psychological disorder which may represent a danger to the public. For instance those applying for jobs which involve being in charge of a public service vehicle or any position which involves contact with children should have their mental disease placed openly in the public domain.

Dope heads should have to wear signs warning people that their brains are warped and they can be unpredictable

This is not exactly true, you can actually predict someone who is mentally disordered better than someone who you identify as 'normal' since no one is really normal and 'normal' people do unexpected things at random.

People with disorders, on the other hand, tend to behave in a specific set of patterns that make them easier to predict.

This is exactly what the Progressive Gun Grabbers want ! Are you surprised by that fact ?

If you are you should do you some research !

If the disorder does not pose danger to its surroundings and others, which rarely it is. Then it would be unnecessary hence it would create a sense of stigmatization and also violate the individual's right under the sense of equality.

What would be the context of "publicly identified"? And according to what definition? One's person's mentally ill can be another person's voice of reason.

Side: No

That defeats the meaning of "reason".

Why does it defeat the meaning of reason? What is your argument that someone being mentally ill can never mean someone who is highly intelligent?

And what about causality - if people do mentally suffer, shouldn't the reasons why they suffer be publicly identified too?

Side: Yes

Probably not. It adds an unnecessary stigma, and that's the last thing those people need.
