First, before we go further, let me give you something to write down and remember, each step of the way. "Learn to understand all non-normies from the alcoholic and the Al-Anon." You'll frequently hear me use alcoholics, and their Al-Anon sisters (and sometimes brothers), because the lessons we learn from this huge laboratory of dysfunctional people in Alcoholics Anonymous will apply, by extension, generally to non-normal people throughout society.

Second, this is not a religious Web/Blog Site, even though there will be occasional wise Biblical references quoted, such as the following:

"...God made us plain and simple, but we have made ourselves very complicated."
Ecclesiastes 7:29 (Good News Version) From the Philosopher, Solomon.

Emotionally there are two major categories of people in this world. One is normal. The other is non-normal. Normal people are in the middle of two totally opposite, but similar, polars.

Normal people seek guidance in life, knowing that they don't have all the answers. This is why most normal people believe in some sort of God, and they pursue His help in their daily lives. When normal people get angry, it usually is due to a specific rational cause.

Non-normal people are like the earth's two polars-both frozen in place on two opposite ends of the world. One type of non-normal people seeks license to do whatever they wish, while the opposite extreme non-normal people seek total law to force everyone to behave according to a strict set of their guidelines.

There is no if and when about non-normal anger. It's a constant and permanent part of their psyche, and it looks for places where it can be displaced.

But, both polars are really the same people, who have chosen (yes chosen) two opposite methods of acting out their internal dysfunctional driven natures, natures that are fueled by their pent-up internalized anger. That's why the two polars hate each other so insanely. It's because they are mirror images of each other.

Yet, both types of non-normal people still want (actually demand) to gain the same good results out of life (for themselves) as normal people receive. They are jealous of normal people because non-normal people are basically selfish and self-centered.

In religion, most non-normal people are either avowed atheists (polar-left) or they worship a graceless, mean, hard and judgmental God who strikes a person down for his or her first sin (polar-right). Both sides love rules, that is when they are imposed upon the other side. They rebel, however, when rules are imposed upon themselves.

Author's note: Some don't think this is true for polar-right. But remember the polar-right preacher Jimmy Swaggart, and others of his ilk?
He was strident in preaching against being sexually promiscuous. Yet, he rebelled secretly by hiring prostitutes to satisfy his own predilections.

The extreme polar-left doesn't want a God interfering in their lives or, especially, judging what they do. Polar-left states, unequivocally, that there is no god, but gets wildly offended when polar-right declares to them that they are going to hell.

If a person really believed that there is no god, and that there is no hell, why would they be insanely offended if someone told them they were going to go there? A real non-polar atheist would laugh. This indicates that polar-left's real belief is not truly atheistic. It is more like, "I refuse to believe in God because He didn't give me what I wanted in life. Therefore, I am going to punish God by not believing in him." While silly on its face, deep in the polar-left psyche it's why they react the way they do to the thought of going to hell. They're scared.

This fear is where "Political Correctness" emanated from. Now absent a Biblical code for living life and dealing with mankind, this set of rules sprang forth from polar-left in an effort to replace America's historical Scriptural guidelines for morality. It's a vain attempt at controlling society by enforcing a set of polar-left rules on others, for their own protection.

Conversely, the extreme polar-right wants God interfering everywhere and taking notes. Then, if He doesn't punish sin immediately, the far right will take over his job and do it for Him. As such, polar-right's idea of evangelism is to threaten everyone with hell if they don't subscribe religiously to a set of rules that they have put together, supposedly, from the Bible. Doesn't this sound a lot like polar-left, with a different source for their rules?

Therefore, when religious polar-right meets up with atheistic polar-left, what do you have? It's like fire meeting contained gasoline. Thus, an explosion. And the more that either side loses, the crazier the other side gets. Also, each polar sees anything even slightly to their right (polar-left) or left (polar-right) as being evil.

A classic example of the "extreme polar-left" would, most assuredly, be a free-love, pot-smoking hippie from the 60's who adopted the saying of that day, "If it feels good, do it."

The "extreme polar-right" (of today) would definitely include an Iranian theocrat who imposes religious law on everyone, whether he or she is a Muslim believer or not.

This is why non-normies are walking contradictions. They simply don't know who they are, so they design faces that portray themselves to the public in a manner that they want you to believe.

Other commonalities of the two polars are:

EXTREME POLAR-LEFT sees everything in shades of gray, except for their own emotionally driven issues, of course. Additionally, this group thrives on complexity, for it is in complexity they can appear to form seemingly complex intelligent arguments which, in reality, are merely complex by design in order to, both, cover up their dysfunctional rationalizations and mimic their own emotional complexity. Politically, extreme polar-left tends towards socialism, because total fairness is their masthead in life.

EXTREME POLAR-RIGHT sees everything of authority in total black and white, except for their own behavior. Their arguments are overly simplistic. (This is illustrated best by the classic movie, "The Ox Bow Incident," where they hung the innocent suspects without a trial.) Politically, extreme polar-right tends towards autocracy because, then, total law can be imposed and enforced by a dictator.

Now, there are issues that are truly shades of gray. There are other issues that are black and white. Normal people recognize the differences in those two areas and react accordingly, normally. In other words, they use common sense. But non-normal people don't apply such sound reasoning to their causes.

Generally, however, every form of non-normal emotional behavior or experience, reported since the beginning of the world, stems directly from these non-normal categories of people. They are emotionally sick and, as such, they have lost the ability to think logically when they reason from a framework that has a pre-set opinion. Adolf Hitler was non-normal. He had a pre-set conclusion that all Jews were evil (to Germans) and, therefore, they had to be exterminated. So he rationalized that killing them was good.

We call emotionally normal people "normies."

Emotionally non-normal people are "non-normies."

Normies reason forward.

Non-normies reason backwards.

What does that mean? Simple.

Normies reach conclusions after analyzing the obtainable evidence. Later, when new evidence becomes available, they stand ready to change their conclusion to suit the argument.

Non-normies begin with a conclusion and then they justify backwards to support that pre-set opinion. This is why you'll hear some of the most convoluted rationalizations (tortured logic) used by non-normies to support their various claims (like when an alcoholic gives reasons as to why he or she drinks).

Non-normies, as a whole, are subconsciously searching for someone functional to parent them. Usually they didn't get functional parenting as a child. This is what made Alcoholics Anonymous so successful. The program, and the individual sponsor that the alcoholic submits to, become that functional parent.

But, until non-normies admit their problem, they rage against all authority, except their own. They react to normalcy either like roaches, when a kitchen light is turned on (they scatter), or like a cat who is backed into a corner (they viciously attack).

As such, they run from, or attack that very normie person, or belief system, that they really need and subconsciously seek.

How do they attack? In various ways. But, most commonly, they try to redefine what normal is in society. Black becomes white, and vice versa. Notably, they attack the very word normal. You'll hear them say things like, "What's normal?," and, "I don't believe that anyone is normal?" Especially they'll either attack the most historically normal unit of society, the family (polar-left), or use their families to set up small autocratic kingdoms (polar-right).

Because non-normies usually came from dysfunctional families, the very word family brings up unpleasant memories. You'll recognize them when they say, "I don't think there is a normal family."

This is why normal families are no longer portrayed on TV like they were in the fifties and early sixties (i.e.: "The Donna Reed Show" and "Father Knows Best"). It's also why those functional TV families are now ridiculed. Non-normies, who are dominant in the current media, present the non-normie family as being both the norm and more prevalent.

Now, with these obvious psychological handicaps, you would think that they would not have much influence in the community. The larger number of normies would recognize dysfunctional thinking and expose it for what it is, really nonsense.

That would be true except for one thing. Our culture has created a "credentialed society." That means that, if you have a sufficient number of degrees or letters after your name, everything you say will be considered as being "deep," "thought provoking," "profound," "factual," "true," or "scientifically based." It will seldom be called what it actually is, pure nonsense (even though you may think that).

Also, non-normies are psychologically driven by angry forces that are burning inside of them. As such, driven people will usually outwork non-driven people because they have to. They have something to prove. They must prove that they are better than they, themselves, think they are. They must also prove that they are better than they think that you think they are (they are very dysfunctional mind readers). So they'll burn the midnight oil trying to prove you wrong while you are home asleep in bed.

Therefore, let me now give you the defining characteristics of the two groups.

"normies" are emotionally "non-driven."

"non-normies" are emotionally "driven."

You must understand, non-normies are not stupid. They are just emotionally driven people with pre-set agendas; agendas that drive them to reach conclusions that match up with their mind-set. It is true that...

normies sometimes do non-normal things and...

non-normies sometimes do normal things...

but, for the most part, normies do normal things and non-normies do non-normal things.

Often times non-normies are some of the most intelligent thinkers in the world and, in areas for which there is no advanced mind-set, they can dazzle you with their mental gymnastics. For example, a non-normie mathematician may be awarded a Nobel Prize for a brilliant formula that solves a universal problem. Then, right after the laurels are bestowed, that same mathematician can go home and beat up his wife, drink himself into oblivion, or participate in a foolish activist protest that makes you wonder, "Who is he, really?"

As such, when a PhD non-normie psychologist has a non-normie mind-set favoring drugging all seemingly hyperactive boys, and he or she tells you that your son (who is just being a normal boy) needs to be put on Ritalin, what basis do you have to tell him or her that the advice is crazy? After all, you aren't an expert and you have no credentials. You're just a normie using common sense. And, if that non-normie PhD is the school psychologist, you haven't got a chance. The entire teaching profession will attack you with every weapon that they have in their tenured arsenal.

Author's note: This is not to say that there isn't a place for drugs relative to hyperactivity, or any other emotional problem. Non-normie psychiatrists, however, tend to over-prescribe these drugs, without regard to the other, more logical solutions. And school officials promote them excessively, in place of those other more functional methods, because they require a little work to obtain results.

Unfortunately, non-normie parents will often demand these drugs from those non-normie psychiatrists, for their budding non-normie children, just to avoid the work of providing proper parenting for a bratty child.

Let me tell you something else that I want you to commit to memory, because it places what I just told you in perspective.

When you educate a crazy person, all you get is an educated crazy person.

Simply stated, unadulterated nonsense can come from the most highly educated people in the world. Why? Remember, if the person is a non-normie, he or she will reason backwards. First comes the emotional conclusion, then comes the rationalization to support it, while disregarding any other conflicting data.

Naturally, that process isn't used in everything they do. As I said, non-normies are not stupid. They are dysfunctional. They can run their check books, buy houses, drive their cars and take their vacations like normies of the same intelligence level. But, in any area of life that conflicts with their pre-set views--like in politics, religion, family, animal or human rights, war, happiness, law, government systems (i.e.: socialism, capitalism, fascism, communism, theocracy, monarchy), social security, race, welfare, environmentalism, humanism, truth, pornography, cults, sex, education, homosexuality, marriage, perversion and world government--they rationalize backwards from an opinion that emanates from their pre-set non-normie emotional template. The root of this I'll explain in the section titled, "What causes non-normieness."

Non-normies know, deep down in their subconscious, that there is something wrong with them. That is why they rage so virulently against normal behavior, normal solutions and normal people. Normalcy makes them uncomfortable. When their dysfunctional rationalizations fail, their anger flares and they use intimidation to further impose these agendas on everyone else, solely in order to bring everyone else down to their level. Again, just like alcoholics, they want everyone to drink like they do. If others drink like the alcoholic, then that makes the alcoholic feel normal. Non-normies want everyone to be as dysfunctional as they are, because that makes them seem normal.

Contrary to common usage, however, normal and average are not the same.

Normal is fixed.

Average floats.

For example, the average German citizen's attitude towards Jews in World War II Germany was far different than what it was just a few years later.

Normalcy, however, stays the same. It requires mental soundness, a sense of emotional well-being, honesty, monogamy, dependability, adherence to a code of ethics and morality, graciousness, character, temperance, patriotism, selflessness, grace, charity, the ability to forgive and tolerance. Non-normies lack most of these characteristics. But they claim quite the opposite. Most notably, they protest that they are tolerant, yet their actions prove that they are intolerant of opinions other than their own.

In fact, this is a common characteristic of non-normies. They accuse others of what they are guilty of. This emanates from their deep seated guilt and denial. If a non-normie attacks a normie as being a racist, simply for disagreeing with the non-normie about a racial issue, for example, it usually means that the non-normie is trying to camouflage his or her own deep seated racism.

For protection from normie logic, non-normies run in packs, which I call non-normie covens (because their dysfunctional theories work about as well as witchcraft). What's more, non-normies suffer from hypersensitivity. You'll witness this occurrence when you confront them with facts that dispute their tortured logic. As I said before, an attack on their beliefs, or their issues, is an attack on them personally. They know this and fear this. As such, they have to surround themselves with other coven members to protect them from experiencing a confrontation with truth. They are actually afraid of being emotionally hurt. Non-normies are a lot like someone who got dumped by a boy/girlfriend when young. Psychologically devastated, he or she decides to never be hurt again. This person now spends life avoiding love relationships, to prevent a repeat of the emotional pain of rejection.

The actual number of extreme non-normies, the truly raging types, is nowhere even close to being a majority of the population. The best estimates put it at fifteen percent (15%). But, like a color chart, we have varying shades near black and white (i.e.: dark gray and light gray). Those are the partially non-normie population who have a tendency to approve of the non-normies slightly to the left or right of them. Their tacit support of certain polar extremes of non-normie behavior doesn't make them flaming non-normies, in their own psyche, but their money and their votes further those dysfunctional causes.

Two polar examples. One is of the extreme polar-left and the other demonstrates the extreme polar-right.

EXTREME POLAR-LEFT. A non-normie group of environmentalists hijack an oil tanker and hold it for ransom to get money for their environmental causes. After being caught and jailed, left leaning sympathizers bail them out, arrange for a legal defense and then donate money to their group.

EXTREME POLAR-RIGHT. A non-normie man murders an abortion doctor. His friends don't condone the action but they know where he's hiding and they don't tell the authorities. Additionally, they secretly forward provisions through an underground liaison.

In each case, the polar-extreme non-normie (illustrated above) represented a very small percentage of the population. But, support from non-normies, who were not quite as extreme, ended up furthering their cause as much as if they had done the deed.

In these cases, non-normies of both polars include their tacit supporters. As such, I make little distinction between the two. All are equally guilty.

This is why I grade non-normies by degree--the degree of their non-normieness. Ever since the movie "10" was released back in the eighties, men have been grading women on their beauty. I'm not commenting on whether this system, for describing looks, is good or bad, but I use a similar numbering system to grade non-normies, but in reverse. The higher number is the worst type of non-normie, while the number "1" indicates practically no evidence of non-normieness. A number "10" is practically off the chart in extreme non-normieness. As such, a number "9" usually aides and supports a number "10,", an "8" usually aides and supports a "9" and so on.

You'll have an opportunity, on this Web/Blog site to test yourself, or another, on the degree of non-normieness. Also, each grade is explained at the exam's completion. If you test in the normie range, you can most assuredly be proud of that. You are in the majority. If you desire, you can purchase a T-shirt or a bumper sticker from this site that says:

But I warn you. Non-normies, when they see you wearing it, or displaying it on your bumper, will go berserk. If you are like me, however, I enjoy seeing their insane reaction for it saves me the trouble of having to identify them. They do it for me.

One short test of polar non-normieness, however, is a lack of a self-effacing sense of humor. These people take themselves, and their causes, entirely too seriously. Any jokes made about them, or their passions, are usually met with frowns and anger.

Keep in mind that I am not talking about the physical or mentally handicapped people of this world - those unfortunates who are either mentally or physically challenged. They are to be helped, not attacked. They are not ever to be referred to as non-normies, as I define the terms herein. When someone has been dealt, by fate, a physical or mental problem, a congenital deformity that they have neither chosen nor participated in its creation, our society usually steps forward with sympathy, medical care and daily living assistance for these situations.

My focus is not on them. In fact, I have personally tried hard to help and support these people, financially and physically, and I will continue to do so. My attack is, and will be, against those who have chosen (yes chosen) to become emotionally non-normal through their response to the problems that life presents them. How that occurs I'll explain in detail in the section titled, "What causes non-normieness."
