> You can correct a schizophrenic.

How about, instead, "You can correct some schizophrenics"?

For me, that would put them on about the same level as Tea Partiers or AGW deniers -- I'd treat them as individuals and make a judgement call based on whether I might be able to have a reasonable conversation with that particular individual.

Yeah some but they have to want to get better and take a treatment plan and work to get better.

Tea Partiers and AGW Deniers chose to be that way, a schizophrenic didn't chose to be that way they developed a mental illness and it might even be genetic or due to environmental factors.
