I remember netrox bringing up the subject of "religious psychosis" and after seeing Law & Order: Criminal Intent, I thought about something different...
Deaf Psychosis
What do I mean by that? Well, like netrox mentioned in his thread...
So, what about deaf people? There are deaf people out there who take so much pride in their culture that they are willing to do anything to emphasize that.
There are a lot of things in the past... such as the Gallaudet protests where they claim she's "not deaf enough" (we know the real reason), such as the protest at RIT for the Lisa Lampanelli show, the protests and the murder on the Law & Order: Criminal Intent - The Silencer show, etc...
There are some things in Deaf Culture that some may consider to be too extreme. For instance, one guy here at NTID told a girl that he refused to date her and that dating her was not allowed since she had hearing parents. One girl at NTID told everyone that deaf people, who come from hearing parents, don't really know what it's like to be deaf.
Who's to say if these things are really what reality is?

Psychosis means, "loss of contact with reality."
Psychotic people can be highly intelligent and even know that they're not "normal" but they're so convinced they're right.
