• Every once in a while, I see some of the misspelling of troll and really have a chuckle! Farmasootickle.

• That's what you get when you blindly believe what corporate america, pharmasutical companies included, tell you.

  Btw, I haven't been to any doctor or taken any meds in years and I still consider myself democrat. What does that have to do with anything?

  Keep Occupying!

  • John - Two part response: 1. Just because we ought to keep our eyes them, doesn't make them criminal. 2. Enjoy your good health as long as it lasts.

    I am going to try to help you here, but you must be willing to help yourself and have the courage to take the first step.

    Your sense of reality is distorted and you cannot determine the difference between reality and delusion, fact and fiction, or vision and perception.

    From the text of many of your posts, I see a lot of unrealistic, grandiose thinking on your part, coupled by nonsensical ramblings. Basically, you put out more shit than a colostomy bag after burrito night.

    You could have a mood disorder known as Bipolar Disorder.

    I recommend you see a psychiatrist STAT and discuss possible treatments options, to include starting Abilify. He/she can start you on a low dose and titrate from there.

    Good luck.

    Keep evacuating.

      LMAO! Classic.

      • Mmmmmm, burrito night.

    • Keep occupooping.

• I wonder how long it will be before taking this will be mandatory.

• Available soon as a suppository from your local Obama death care doctor...

  I just wonder (at the sound of being racist) if they are gonna test it on some straight up ghetto thugs to see if it makes them want to do the fricking group hug thing?

• " All 36 participants were white males."

  That's ok, since no other kind of people are racists. Aintchy'all been paying attention?

  Haha, perfect name for it too, PropranoLOL.

  • That's what I thought too;

• In my many years in the medical profession, I have to say this is one of the most ignorant and ludicrous claims I have ever read. Anyone who believes this shit is even more ignorant than the bastard(s) who dreamed it up after studying 36 white males and 36 white males only.

  But beyond that, no drug changes learned behaviors. You can dope people up enough to suppress actions, but never can they change attitudes that are deeply planted within someone's psyche. Only people can change their attitudes, which in turn will change their behaviors.

  This is why I am constantly amazed at the number of physicians who will prescribe a psychotropic medication and not include therapy as part of the overall treatment plan. Drugs like antidepressants and anti-anxiety agents, alone, can never be the panacea they think it is. Reason being, the purpose of the drug is to make the patient more receptive to therapy. The drug is only a tool to help the patient, help him/herself.

  Even in the cases of chemical imbalances in the brain, these drugs are not going to yield a cure... because certain behaviors will need to be changed to help the person cycle out of the patterns they often adopt, as maladaptive coping mechanisms to combat the illnesses the wrong way.

  • Excellent post, LA. Modern medicine seems to see too many mental difficulties as only biochemical problems to be medicated away and doesn't want to try to resolve the conflicts and wounds often driving the behavior.

    • Thanks MDLION.

      One thing about Axis II Personality Disorders like Antisocial, Borderline, and our dear leader's Narcissistic (DSM-IV-TR 301.81), it takes years and years of therapy. And even with that, there is no guarantee of progress, much less a cure.

      There are underlying anxiety and depression issues that drive these illnesses. Many dynamics factor into their developments, so pharmacological intervention plays a far lesser role than in other types of mental illnesses. Medications will help a little in the treatment setting, but the manipulative and maladaptive behaviors learned throughout their formative years have to be unlearned and replaced with better responses to their issues that they must deal with on a daily basis.

      As the issue of racism is explored more (real, not the imagined kind we often get accused of for opposing Obama's policies) we have learned it is one component the narcissistic personality. Not all narcissists are racist, but all racists are truly narcissistic. They may not have enough diagnostic criteria to meet the DSM diag. of NPD. But they are narcissists, nonetheless.

      • All I know is, when my lady's 19 year old cat it doped up on her pain meds for her arthritic hip, she has a much nicer personality, but she still doesn't like dogs.

        • There you have it. Type this up and we'll call it a research study. The science is all in, it's all been decided.

• If racism is inherent, should a carrier of the racism gene be eligible for Social Security disability payments?

  ...and Obama secures the Klan vote.

  • And the Black Panthers, in one fell swoop. Genius.

    • Wait a minute. Shouldn't this also apply to people who hate Communism? I want my money.

• One can't help but wonder how much money was wasted on this study.

  • Sorry PH, my mistake.

    • Those darn styli.

      • Yup, stylus malfunction.

  • A dollar was too much. That dollar could have bought a candy bar in most places, outside of NY, LA, and Chicago.

• "I can't help it, I was born that way!"

  Of course, the test results were skewed. All the subjects were white males. So, of course they were racist, right?

• If being racist is just a physiological condition, how can someone hate a racist? He's born that way!

  And is it a "disability"? There's gold in that there word!

  • I think RKae is onto something here. Attorneys everywhere should begin their quest to create a new protected class.

    Onward to the courts.

  • I'm stealing that Rkae, it's priceless!
