thousands if not hundreds of thousands have been killed for claiming that bill... arent you glad you live in a society that is enlightened, has pushed religious beliefs away from the process of governance enough that you can question them at all and state that such religious texts are simply 'stories' and are mistaken about some of the basic facts of existence? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

if all you care about is the simple human per square foot you are correct...it wont be a pleasant existence but people will 'exist'... not much else will.. i'm talking about actual sustainability and quality of life.. over population is the 5th horseman.. he holds the door open for the other 4 and its closer than you think... and land mass is certainly a going to be a problem as well unless you dont mind drowning in other people's sweat.... oh wait you dont support any form of birth control... i see now...nevermind... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

yup, and can be controlled without as well.... but of course everyone has to be 'regular' ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

this is reason number 1 why many relationships fail...lack of simple commitment to try people are not parachutes... you should commit to one at a time, not keep the thought of 'oh well i've got a reserve' in the back of your mind just because youve got a few 'line twists' ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

no.. as a general rule i do not, unless i am completely unable to function without them..most colds can be avoided by proper hygiene and lifestyle choices..when they do occur in a healthy individual they tend to be minor inconveniences.. aspirin is a naturally occurring substance, but even then i avoid it in nearly all circumstances.. people have lived for thousands of years without resorting to the kind of manufactured chemicals and levels of prescription pharmaceuticals our society is so enamored with the .. yet suddenly (in the last 50 particularly) 'a pill' is the answer to everything.. there are almost always better alternatives.. but they take more time and effort than 'popping a few pills' ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

ja the energy isnt a problem..it is being able to focus to direct it that takes effort, but the drugs always made me feel sluggish and there was a major difference in the scope and tone of my ideas when i was on them at one point i lined up alot of the my paintings over the period when i was medicated and not, the differences were very obvious... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

thanks for the link.. i sent off and email expressing my distaste for their actions and public comments.. in addition to the form letter response there was this link ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

i'm not saying the drugs are useless, particularly for young children who are learning basic discipline skills in the first place. But most MDs seem to treat it as a 'here is your pill come back when you run out, every month, for the rest of your life' as opposed to teaching and training non-pharmaceutical methods so that the drugs become the LAST resort for the individual affected instead of the first.... there are some days when i wish i was on meds as it would certainly make some simple tasks easier, but i'm very sure i'd rather not trade that chemical stability for my creativity and energy....and i can certainly feel the difference drugs (of any kind) can easily become a crutch, one that it is hard to leave behind once your used to 'walking' on it ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

absolutely it is, the chemical reactions it causes internally have the same (if not better) effect as the pills the MDs push without the nasty side effects..... it just doesnt bring any money into the coffers of the drug companies and causes fear in those who live in a risk-adverse society, so will never be recommended by the medical community ever ask your doctor about skydiving at all? many (not all there are some who understand) will list hundreds of minor medical conditions that ITO are reasons why you shouldnt jump... but for the most part they are simply making excuses for their basic 'wuffo' fears ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

hmm ever think living with it your entire life, dealing with it daily gives you a perspective those who profit from it dont have?? absolutely its a recognized learning disability.. however there are other methods of handling it than taking drugs that affect every other thought process as well... i've been there, and done that, and i am simply not the same person under medication... i (and many others like me) have made the conscious choice to deal with it without dulling the rest of our senses and abilities.. must be nice to assume we HAVENT studied, researched it and been subject to, the so called 'experts', who's answer was to drug us into submission... if you take your blinders off and do some REAL research you'll find there ARE other medical professionals who completely disagree with your assertions as well... but hey 'better living thru chemistry' keeps the pharmaceutical CEOs in their beach houses and BMWs........ why work, develop and teach self discipline skills when a pill can make it all go away for you??? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

yes, and it did 'help' with the hyperactivity (aka ADD)... and interfered with everything else about who i am... Ritalin sucks... i'm sooooo glad my mother had the sense to take me off it.. this is crap... you CAN control nearly everything about yourself, it simply takes awareness and discipline... drugs may help, but they are a crutch not a cure.. there are many non medicative methods for dealing with ADD. For me the best thing is to engage in either one activity that REQUIRES complete focus... (skydiving, freeclimbing, fencing etc have all worked well for me.) and in non critical endeavors to have several things active at once so that when my attention wanders it wanders to something else I also need to accomplish... fortunately i've been able to find jobs and situations that fit my needs and still allow me to be a very productive worker... just dont let me get bored... the only time ADD is really a problem for me is when i have a single 'mindless' (or nearly so) task to accomplish... then i find i tend procrastinate until the deadline forces me to focus or fail... but its better to find something else i can do at the same time when my attention divides... our society has become FAR to dependent on chemical means to solve personal problems... there are better solutions for 90% of the populace.. unfortunately that 90% is generally to lazy to seek them and wants the 'take a pill feel better' way out.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

It has nothing to do with fat, It has to do with divorced chicks with kids (AKA Born Again Cock Suckers).

But of course your hatred of Bush is not blinding yours... no, because i dont hate Bush at all. I just happen to think that he (like the majority of our elected officials unfortunately) isnt really qualified to hold the power he does and displays some of the worst traits anyone would want in a leader imaginable. The prime example being; making his decisions BEFORE he has all the facts and then ignoring and sidelining the recognized expert advisors when they disagree with his predetermined agenda.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

you are confusing several 'minorities' in your example.. the use of the filibuster protects the minority 'view' by not allowing 51% of the population (total, not state by state) to simply elect its 'own' politicians and then pass whatever, whenever it wishes.. the necessity and utility of the filibuster as a political tool would be more obvious (and more useful) if we were not locked into a simple two party system as we are now... because then there would be NO compromises.. the entire point is to force a compromise that may be unacceptable to the extremes of all (either) side.. without a filibuster, or the threat of one, the majority would have no reason to negotiate at all.... the purpose of a democratic government has never been to make decisions as fast as possible...

Swing album?.. crickets.... not to be confused with the song/album (which is just eerie to listen to now) checks sense of humor... yup to dry, to morbid.. actually INXS was one of the few pop bands i really liked even as a little metalhead... i've still got a signed copy of Listen Like Thieves in the vinyl crate ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
