Europeans are plagued by mental and neurological illnesses, with almost 165 million people or 38 percent of the population suffering each year from a brain disorder such as depression, anxiety, insomnia or dementia, according to a large new study. Before the utopia formerly known as the USSR fell apart like a poorly designed healthcare plan, the Soviet heaven on earth had the highest rate of alcoholism in the world. Folks who couldn’t afford potable booze drank brake fluid, anti-freeze and/or methanol. Let’s see… a spiritually, intellectually and economically bankrupt nanny state run by a bunch of self-stlyed technocratic elitist nitwits…. nah, must be a coincidence.

Interesting----the usual suspects crow and strut and act tough, as they prove to everyone here that 25 far righters can make a bigger noise than one liberal. Gosh, I'm impressed. @@
Mind you, not one of them except David has the guts to go post solo on a liberal board (and he didn't last long).....but, hey, they're a bunch of real macho tough guys anyway. They can call names, fling grade school insults and parrot Rush Limbaugh putdowns.....as long as their buddies are here to run interference for them and raise their self-esteem with thumbs-up votes.....so doesn't that PROVE that they're winners?
Off to do something constructive for a while......

really, I only counted 7 regulars and 3 relative newbies. The rest must be the voices in your head.

You boogered that one up. It didn't last long because they censored him.

We learned all of that from you, dear.
I was able to make three posts before being banned at HuffPo and only one at Think Progress...again banned. All for refusing to be the happy little house-slave and parrot the company line. Disingenuous assholes the lot of them...

How on Earth would she know whether or not that is a true statement? Then again facts have never been important to her. Not that it matters but does she win something for continuing to post here for a certain period of time?
This thread has already been hijacked beyond recognition. I respectfully request that we not go down the abortion road again. We know exactly where the troll stands on the issue. I still have the phrase "contents of a woman's uterus" seared into my memory. It is a disgustingly callous view and this is the wrong day to talk about senseless death.
hear, hear....not the abortion crap again
I'm enjoying this playtime. I never read the drivel but the mallet gets a workout when everybody keeps her popping up. I will continue to toss ad hominems when I see fit, of course.
just whaking the troll! - best part is: no pay for!
ensure safe and legal access to abortion for those who need it?
OK, either you have had multiple abortions, or you, like we, wish YOUR mother had exercised her option.
Which is it?
************************
Neither, Mr. Beam. I merely believe that women are smart enough and capable enough to make intelligent medical decisions concerning their own uteruses (and contents therein), IN PRIVACY. WITHOUT any input or coercion from the likes of you or your favorite politicians.
Like most other right wing extremist movements, the one YOU identify with seeks to keep women subservient in as many ways as possible. And one of those ways is to deny them the right to govern their own bodies, under pretext of caring about "saving innocent babies." (In many cases the same babies, by the way, who are targeted by the far right's efforts to eliminate social safety nets.)
It's really very telling, you know, that you think YOU are better qualified than the woman herself (and her physician) to make appropriate decisions regarding her pregnancy or reproductive system. You, who aren't even well informed to understand the concepts of HIPAA and EMTALA, much less to recognize why women consider abortion in the first place.
You are such a scumbag. Anti abortion protestors are not trying to subjegate women in any fashion. If a woman does not desire to have children she can have a couple of different procedures to prevent that. If she doesn't want to have a child RIGHT NOW, there are vast numbers of birth control options. Once she is pregnant, the "contents of her uterus" is no longer hers alone. THere is a life there, and a father whose preferences need to be taken into consideration. When I was young, guys alked away, leaving the girls stuck and everyone agreed it was unfair. Now many men want to have the child, are willing and able to care for and nurture their offspring. They have a say in the outcome as well. Only someone incredibly selfish and self centered would think that its all about THEM and forget the grandparents, the father, the baby.
Olivia:”Guess what, Poison? Whether or not one believes in a God that endows us with rights, there will ALWAYS be human individuals, groups and movements seeking to trim away some of those rights, for purposes of profit or political expediency.”
We know. We’ve read your posts defending the billion dollar yearly U.S. abortion industry.
***************************
In what way is it abrogating someone's rights, to ensure safe and legal access to abortion for those who need it?
(And before you start rattling on about fetuses' rights: fetuses don't have civil rights or liberties under U.S. law, and they never have had, nor do they have such rights in any other country that I'm aware of. But women DO have the right to make medical decisions---in privacy----pertaining to their bodies and reproductive systems.)
Olivia, why did you answer my Pro-Life post way down here? Never mind. Are you serious when you say you don't know of any other countries in which "fetuses" have civil rights or liberties. Chile, Ireland, Malta, and the Philippines are 4 of 54 countries in which abortion is illegal in all circumstances. There are another 22 countries in which abortion is permitted only to save a woman's life or to preserve her physical health. You also don't seem to be much of a student of the history of our country. Abortion was a misdemeanor in the colonies. It was illegal for almost the first 200 years of our nation until California started chipping away in 1967. You talk about how we're brainwashed by conservative media sources and yet this is yet another subject on which you are poorly informed because of your limited far left media sources.
But she's a part time nurse, she knows everything!

I left this site for while since Olivia wasn't here and went to HuffingtonPost. Now that's she's back I must return.

Suit yourself.
You're really into self-abuse, aren't you David?
She misses your direct comments, Kick. I think you broke her heart. :(

Now break her fingers!
I did assure her that unless she spoke to me directly I would not engage her. She just can't seem to grasp how these thread thingys work. Now, when she responds to something that I write that's different. Like I said before, she is sick and delusional.

Translation: "I just made up a rule that she's not allowed to respond unless I address her directly. How dare she not follow MY homemade rule when I make nasty little snipes ABOUT her?"
Find someone else to play your little games with you, my boy. I'm not interested.

Ahhh but you are interested. Compulsively so. I made no rule only a promise that I wouldn't comment on your posts because your brand of stupid makes it a futile act. I did say above that if you engage me then I would respond if I felt like it.
Reading comprehension is another of your failings.
You're not interested!? You crack me up? You are a loser, Olivia.
Find someone else to play your little games with you, my boy. I’m not interested.
Then why did you bother to respond? If your are not interested, skip it.
Skip it? You might as well ask her to quit breathing! As long as your opinion does not match her obviously superior one, she will keep beating that dead horse, trying to make it run.
Yes, Kick. I am aware of all of that. I think she just deliberately responded to your post to me to get you to respond to her. Like I said, I think you broke her heart when you told her that you wouldn't engage in direct responses to her.
Well, I can say one thing for sure, Olivia never fails to amuse.
From her condecending attitude, to her thinly veiled racism and bigotry, she has made a perfect ass of herself.
Kick, maybe you should look into suing her for sexual harassment, considering her commentary about your gravatar is a perfect example of unwanted advances.
……..”Well, I can say one thing for sure, Olivia never fails to amuse.”
Exactly – watching her scurry around this board yipping at posters with her nonsense reminds me of the game show thing where they put goggles and rubber gloves on the contestant, place them inside a Lucite booth and blow a few thousand one dollar bills at them. They swipe and reach and grab and pretty much make a buffoon of themselves only to emerge with 47.00.
She gets her ass handed to her on a daily basis – yet she keeps coming back. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
I think she's just trying to get Sidekick to post more. Something about a sexually exciting gravatar. You know, My Dear Sweet Olivia, you could save that picture, and use it as a background on your screen. It would be REALLY big, and you could get even more excited.

You are living in fantasy land if you think he feels any real threat from the likes of you. You have gone after him and he has rebuked you.

I guess I missed the "rebuke." Was that before or after the childish name calling and accusations? ;)

No "delusional thinking" here, Kick. I was wondering how long it would take you to start making passive-aggressive little snipes, after your "promise (that) we would never directly communicate."
Was that before or after the childish name calling and accusations?
Well I guess it all depends on which of your posts you are referring to!
You have called poison just about everything short of the "N" word here, and I'm kind of surprised that hasn't slipped out in one of your childish rants! Well, maybe next time.
Are you gibsmesum's mother?
The gift just keeps giving and giving and giving!
You are in full retard mode I see. Liquored up? Left wingers and their substance abuse. Tsk, tsk.

No, I don't drink or use mood altering drugs of any kind. But it's rather amusing to watch you copy a comment I made to another poster, based on his anger and defensiveness. Imitation, as they say, is the sincerest form of flattery. ;)

Perhaps you consider trying some? The nuts and bolts seem wound a bit tight - might help ya loosen up some.
Which post did I cut and paste?
"It’s both funny and sad to see a bunch of liquored-up far righters sitting on their butts and pontificating about how miserable (and “mentally ill”) everyone in Europe is, when their conclusions are based on wild guesses and wishful thinking.
SUCH classic right wing mentality: trying to boost their own self-esteem by putting down everyone else around them. It never works, either, but they keep on trying……"
But you feel free to accuse others of substance abuse with no evidence. Do you remember this gem at the beginning of this thread?
Your mental lapses and hypocrisy are very apparent. So are your projections, you are a sick woman, Olivia.
That is at least two responses to me. For someone to claim disinterest, you seem awfully interested.
That wasn't a direct comment to you. It was a direct comment to me. 8)
Guess you were distracted by Kick's gravitar again. Bless your heart.

Yep, that I allow foolish, self centered, entitled ice princeses to annoy me with their race baiting and crypto-racism. Go away prune, you lost any credibility when you were caught out as a racist. Please do not reply, I must ignore you as you are sinking deeper and deeper into addiction and will begin stalking me next...
********************
Translation: "But what if she tries to go after MEEEEEEEE?"
Mr. Borderline here deliberately (and childishly) adopts a provocative antiliberal screen name, and then starts whining and crying when a liberal challenges him on his pompous posturings.
Sorry, Poison, but, when you start posting lies, exaggerations and bogus accusations about me, I'm most likely going to respond. If you don't like that, then stop trying so hard to engage me.
Stupid bitch! He didn't invent that name to come here and annoy you. If you bothered to open that small mind of yours, and read his blog, you would have found that is his name elsewhere.
The only pompous ass here is you, and you play the part perfectly.
The only lies and exaggerations here are yours as well.
gosh Olivia....you should re-read your posts. You are truly the most self absorbed, nasty, and biased poster that I have seen on any board! It's like reading mental illness in action.
Exactly. I'm not sure how long you've been coming to this board. I've noticed that most of the regulars have said the same thing. Sick and delusional does not even begin to cover it.

Of course it doesn't. Those are just convenient labels used by right wing extremists (most of whom wouldn't recognize a true psychiatric disorder if it smacked them in the face) to slam anyone who won't applaud and validate their views.
Once again, you've shown me just how important conformity is to you. Instead of discussing our differences, you merely call me names and fling bogus accusations at me-----all because I won't get with YOUR particular program.
That's pretty sad, Kick.
Bla, Bla, Bla, convenient labels

The credit for that is yours, my boy. You and your biddies----er, buddies----don't seem to have legitimate facts or logic on your side, so you regularly resort to the same old lies, name calling and silly accusations.
Just a glance at the silly headline on this page, and the way you all scramble madly to believe it, is evidence enough of that.

You missed my point AGAIN. Why am I not surprised?
Once again: I'm not interested in playing your silly games, or obeying your homemade posting rules. I will respond to your posts whenever I choose, just as every other poster does.
I'm sorry if that's a problem for you, but, if you can't handle seeing a response from me, perhaps you shouldn't be posting your thoughts on a public forum.
"Once again: I’m not interested in playing your silly games, or obeying your homemade posting rules. I will respond to your posts whenever I choose, just as every other poster does."
Again, you are in full retard mode. I don't make rules and I don't play "silly games". Unless you count me handing you your ass on every thread. Loser!
"I’m sorry if that’s a problem for you, but, if you can’t handle seeing a response from me, perhaps you shouldn’t be posting your thoughts on a public forum."
Nope. No problem. Just enjoying watching you obsess over my posts and flail around like a crazed dog.
