Just have to thank you from the bottom of my heart...had no idea they had showings tonight, and just bought a ticket online for the 10pm showing...yay! :-) -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

I just speak the truth my dear. :) -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

some people call me croft/crofty as well...mainly shark. ------------- someone needs to slap that man...you're much hotter than her. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

the fact that it was founded on Christian PRINCIPLES is undeniable. --------------- Actually, Christian principles, yes, in essence, but I believe that the founding fathers were considered Diests (?), those who do not identify with a specific and personal god, rather a higher power that is not defined. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Just killing time. :) -S PS - per wipe _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Steve1... You are not only putting words in my mouth, but either not giving me the benefit of at least reading my entire post/question, or ignoring what I said. If you read it, you will see that I specifically referred to people who do not "abuse" a substance, which one can do whether we speak of alcohol, pot, or doctor prescribed medication. If you read your post, you are referring to people being "so drunk they couldn't talk", "stoned out of their minds", and "abusive drunks". These are clearly not the people or use of these substances to which I was referring. Gotta run. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Thank you...now THAT was a reasonable answer to my question. -Steve _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

well, I'm sorry you feel that way. I am curious, though, can you not see the similarities? Anti-depressants, drugs, alcohol, etc, are all mind altering drugs. Did I suggest that someone SHOULD become a raging alcoholic, or even that it's ok to "run" from anything? No more than I think that someone should allow themselves to become addicted to Anti-depressants or Vicadin. The difference is that one is socially considered relatively ok, and the other is absolutely not. So, what exactly is the difference between taking a pill to make yourself feel better, and having a glass of wine? That is, assuming that you are not talking about "abusing" either. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Anti-depressant medication doesn't have the effect of making an individual high. It helps a person feel normal rather than like crap. I've heard that an anti-depressant like Zolof will not affect how you feel unless you need it. I'm not a medication expert, there are lot's of different types, and they affect some individuals differently. Earlier someone mentioned that the FAA may not approve of such medication. I really don't think this is the case, because I know a lot of skydivers out there who take anti-depressant meds. (including myself)......Steve1 -------------------------- there is nothing on the books that say that skydivers cannot be on drugs such as antidepressants, ritalin, and other drugs like that. I know from personal experience, though, that the FAA will not give a medical certificate to people who are on this type of drug. That would mean that you cannot LEGALLY be a tandem master, or a pilot. Mind you that I said LEGALLY, because there are people in both positions that are not following all the rules. As far as "being high", I don't know what that feels like because I have never been...but I have been on medications before that give me a feeling that I would say is probably similar to being high. Either way, my point was that either way, if you are using the "medication", being Zolof or pot or alcohol, etc., to enable yourself to feel better while you straighten out your life situation, what is the difference between one and the other? -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

There are a lot of considerations with the medication...not the least of which is the FAA and their take on these types of drugs. If they work for you, more power to you. I am choosing a different path for now, though...guess we'll see what happens. :-) -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Here is a question... If life has got someone depressed, then something in life has to change, because if not, then the person either chooses to live with something with which he or she is not happy, or gets on drugs that make it ok...as far as my understanding of medication, it is to enable the person to make those changes, and have a little more of a feeling of hope while they try to do so...they do not cure the depression. There are those, though, who do have a serious chemical imbalance, for whom that is not true, who really do need the medication. I wonder how many people have that true need for the medication because of a true disorder, or like someone said, or for how many of them, life has just got them down. And...if the purpose of the medication is to enable, then wouldn't it be possible for these people to acheive these results without it? Not to say that that should be done, just saying that I think we discredit the human mind and its power quite a bit over both itsself and the world... I tend to think that we, many times, jump too quickly to medication rather than examining fully what we are capable of ourselves. If we do, then what's the difference really between taking "medication", and drinking every night, or getting high, or whatever, if it is working towards the goal of making life a little easier while you work things out? I've been depressed lately, so just something that comes to mind. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Why unfortunately? It seems like if skydiving brings together all sorts of people with mental disorders, we are like a world wide support group! Secondly, I feel that extreme sports is a healthier way to treat some disorders. Using the bodys natural chemistry rather than the pharmacy. -------------- On the other hand, having support is one thing, getting better is another. I don't think that the way to help someone with anorexia, for example, is to put them in a room with a bunch of other people with the same disorder and have them take care of eachother. There are disorders which will not be "cured", but at the same time, it is good to find support in groups, but not hide behind that support in order that you feel more "normal" relative to all the other people around you who you can say are at least as bad or worse off than yourself, rather than trying to get better. Just a thought. Steve _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...
