Well if course it will be cheaper, it will be shittier. Also Yang blatantly saying he will be fucking with doctors salaries can go get fucked, fucking douchebag.

Assange is a douche bag, as is Bradley Manning. Snowden is aiiight.

He's a pass for me dawg. Although given my dog shit options he is the least smelly of the shit options. I haven't given up on Gabbard yet.

Not trying to be condescending or whataboutism or whatever, but how many politicians do you think are legit honest ? Not that it should be excused I just expect it from everyone. I am a big Gabbard fan and know in my heart of hearts she is not being transparent with me. I don't care for Omar but she is not alone. I can only think of 3 I like. Her quote was dumb, but it's natural. When feminists are bitching about whatever they bitch about now, someone always gets lambasted for saying, it's some men. White people after Charleston, it's some white people did something and they get lambasted. Black person cheats welfare? It's just some black people, not all of them. And they get lambasted. It's just how it goes these days. All of those statements are true of course, but for some reason we only let it slide for people in the party, or who identify with our party, but fuck the other ones. It's sad but she should have known.

Omar's quote was douchey as fuck but that is just how shit goes. I read in your link that it was on the calendar, is this true. It seems fairly straightforward if I read it right.

I mean I guess if that's what it takes. I would rather this be a piece of legislation not some bitter politician and right guy mad because they got bested at the game. Or because Trump wants to keep rubbing it in Hilldawgs face, which don't get me wrong because they are both the biggest pieces of shit in recent memory. There are no progressives anymore. There is the far right, the regressive left, and everyone else.

I'm still a jaded EX over the DNC doing whatever possible to keep out Gabbard when there are polling people a point behind her in the debates. It's just so blatant I can't see Warren or Biden beating Trump so I am not sure what to do at the polls at this juncture.

I'll start believing it's good news when Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube and all these places are shattered. Hopefully Amazon and Walmart shortly thereafter.

That statement after all the mental health discussions. Tsk tsk lol. I do agree Biden gets fucking murdered by trump.

No Sean, it isnt. He may have tried but it didnt work. In Prussia wealth was attained not from ideas but conquest. The richest people in America are also the ones who have benefitted it the most, or at least most of them. Also Prussia was not the strongest military in the world of it's time. That is a historical fact. You have a very skewed perspective on people with wealth. Not all of them are the Koch brothers or Clintons.

Happy Birthday man, I hope you enjoy it with some Molson's and Poutine's.

Is there evidence the other way? No bullshit is there any way to tell that the meds are needed over other solutions or is or just the APA saying so or do they even say it?

It is one of my favorite members birthday. Solid dude, glad to hear your beginning your post scholastic journey. I hope it serves as a springboard to your success. Happy Birthday man.

You auction chodes...tsk tsk. Let's be gentleman about this

I really think it is being engaged as a parent and a two parent home is ideal. At least when they are younger. My son is a good example. My son has been in wrestling since he was 4. When he first started he would cry when he lost. I dont do crying boys, that is my wife's domain. Now Macy I will listen to her cry about losing her dolls teacups and naturally will buy her some more and drink imaginary tea. I was always taught men dont cry and true to teaching I haven't cried in 20 years since my mom died. So when Gabe did it at first I was mad, but then I do what I always do and read about it in books and by the time I figured it out my wife had him straight on it and made him feel better about himself and his self image. Now that he is older he is starting to experience more complex emotions. Things that a father has to deal with. So we go to the river all the time and we swap stories and talk about how he feels about things and how it affects his decisions. I have a long way to go because I would like my son to not carry the rage I have always had. I shit you not I take notes and spend the majority of my day thinking about how to deal with those things. The good news about kids is they tend to have the same problems often so once I have figured out what I should say I can use it the next time. I am not one of those guys who is naturally good at being a dad so I have to constantly work on showing him how he should react and not how I would. Then I have to try to change how I react for his sake. I say all that to say that kids need better parents more than they need meds. I see so many kids on meds and it makes me sad that their parents would rather get solutions from pills. Now not EVERY case can be solved without them but I would be willing to bet a shitliad could.

They should definitely get help. What I am saying is even with medication I am very dubious about telling people the cure is a pill. Using your analogy if someone is on the same plane as everyone, they still have to do the work. There are millions of people who have medication and are still depressed. Those people are not doing the work in most cases. And sometimes you do have to man up and get through. Sometimes it really is that simple, but it's hard. I also have a problem with medications though. Not saying they are all bad or even most, but consider this. Imagine being diagnosed young and life sort of being numbed for you with meds, and then you get off for whatever reason and now life is coming at you full force. That is why I think a lot of people break and eventually commit suicide. No proof just a theory. I think how we treat mental health is poor. So.e people need medicines, sure. Others need coping skills, support structures, confidence or a whole bunch of things that cant be cured with pills.

It is also hard to be charismatic when you get the second to least amount of air time on the debate platform. Or google mysteriously blocks 6 hours of website traffic while you are the most searched candidate in the internet. People wanted to see her, they wanted to hear her and she was denied time. It was sad, but alas when we end up with 4 more years of trump we will know why.

I mean I liked her after she torpedoes Harris' campaign. So Trump is the most charismatic person left running. This should get interesting. Nobody in the democratic field has a shot. Not against him.

The fact Gabbard didn't make it lets you know its rigged. Now I have to vote Trump out of spite for the democratic part

Definitely. I'm not trying to minimize anything, there are some people have seen some truly horrific things. Then there are some people who are just constant complainers, and are always going to look at the worst of the situation. They make themselves depressed because of a dogshit outlook. They are not really mentally ill, they have no chemical imbalances, They for whatever reason can not take on a positive perspective. I would say it's like obesity if I were going to compare it to something in the physical realm. When you're obese you can know how to lose weight comments not all the hard. Calories in versus calories out. For some reason though people can't get off the couch, they can't get out of their own way, they can't get the courage to put themselves in public to work out, I don't know what it is, they just can't do it. Nobody can fix it for them except for themselves, they can have all the knowledge in the world and it won't help if they don't have the desire to change it.

In the end, it is up to that person. The telling a person with a broken leg to walk it off analogy has never worked for me. I think it's a tad misleading. If you break your leg, literally a doctor can do every single thing to fix it for you. You just have to show up. Even if you don't, they can do a surgery put a plate in and your broken leg is healed by someone else. Mental health isn't that way. You can go to therapy is sure, but in the end it's on you to learn how to cope with whatever it is you're dealing with. Sure com they can guide you and give you tools common those are great things come but nobody can fix your mental state other than you.

Well, while we're talking about sensationalism. 3% of gun deaths in this country are caused by rifles come extrapolate that out to those that are carried out by an assault rifle, and you have 1.9% of gun violence in this country carried out by an assault rifle. Now of the 40000 people that die of gun violence every year, only 15000 are homicides. People who commit suicide rarely do so with an assault rifle, so we really shouldn't be just using wild statistics to make a sensational claim. Roughly 300 people die a year from assault rifles and pistols are 9 times more likely to be used in a murder, then the rest of the classes of firearms combined. It's 19 times more likely to be used in a shooting than an assault rifle. I don't know if you're doing it to intentionally be dishonest/disingenous or not (doubt it), but you're bringing up the 40000 figure and assault rifles as if they are related. They are not. Again 300 people in this country died by assault rifles and this is some gigantic crusade, that has no real end game. Let's say you get exactly what you want which is an assault rifle ban, yous save 300 lives this year. 2 to 3 times as many people are going to die from auto-erotic asphyxiation. Statistically speaking you're not even making a Dent, no difference will be made. You've still failed to explain how I don't have a constitutional right to an assault rifle. Nowhere in the Constitution does it put limits on what I can and cannot own as far as firearms are concerned. Your argument, at least as far as I understand it thus far, Is that society as a whole has decided this for me. I don't remember you guys asking me, and remember you people asking anybody I know, you are just throwing out blanket generalizations to support a narrative that you see as pleasing. You have not taken into account any of the numbers, the real numbers, not the ones that sensationalize the issue that we're talking about. I would love to have this conversation, but it has to be had in earnest. We have to make sure we're framing what we're really talking about. You're talking about taking away the rights of millions of people, to save the lives of 300 people, that were taken by on average 8 perpetrators. There is no other cause of death in this country that is so grossly sensationalized and over generalized as gun deaths. If I were to tell you that Chihuahuas cause 300 deaths a year, you would laugh and say who gives a shit. You probably wouldn't laugh, but this is also not an issue that you would want every major politician talking about in this country. There is a dishonesty in the way that the left and the far left frame this argument that is sickening. A to keep saying it, but seriously we're talking about 300 people here. It's sad, and it's tragic that kids die, but that being said 300 Deaths a year is so miniscule compared to the other things that kill people in this country every year.
