OT: Despair

[Baron Munchausen]

Wow... what an earful, or screenful... But isn't it interesting how often some 'random' person on this BB turns out to know something useful about a RL issue that comes up.

I have not been a 'consumer' of psychoactive drugs for many years, having only been on Ritalin for a bit as a young kid, but from what I have gathered in my own reading this seems pretty close to the truth of the situation with 'psychiatry' today. Too many people just want a 'pill' to 'fix' their problems, and too many psychiatrists are willing to go along, or even push the 'pill' themselves. Worse, sometimes schools are 'requiring' kids to get drugged!

In other news, video games are now being recognized as therapeutic. So any of you SE fans who are diagnosed as ADHD now have an excuse to stay home & play SE in your pajamas for a few days now & then...

I found the last two links to be the more credible.

Tom Cruise has no right to say anything that was not scripted, and he has demonstrated this.

I'm sure you've all heard the very exciting story of Xenu:

I especially like the picture of the DC-10 spaceplane.

I had no idea McDonnell Douglas was in cahoots with scientologists - for the last 75 million years, if your link is to be believed. But anyone can edit the Wikipedia... how do we know Airbus didn't write that, just to make their competitors look bad? I bet it's only been like 75 thousand years, or something like that.

I was hoping for something about pyramid schemes, but I guess you have to look here for that:

You questions about the site are valid. The internet is full of this kind of questionable source material. Some web sites love to smear those to whom they disagree or dislike. It is quite possible that Airbus could have wrote it to foster anti competitor sentament.

Back onto topic a bit, if any of you have ever been prescribed Risperdal or Seroquel, or any of their generic brands, you might want to look up and or research the side effects of these drugs. They can cause the onset of diabetes, pancreatitis, severe mental disorders, and so on.

They are nasty drugs.
