Damn, I guess that nixes my chances of getting a body massage.

I'll let Nick Lashay give me one, if he promises to keep his mouth shut.

I don't think *everything* is about sex, of course.

Food is pretty important, too.

Tom cruise is an idiot. There's a difference between suggesting that certain medications are over-prescribed and saying we should scrap psych meds all together. The reason he says these things is because he is convinced that scientology is the cure for all psychiatric disorders. Moronic.

"Psychiatry is a pseudo-science"-Tom Cruise.

And putting the letters "scien" in the name of a religion does not make it a science either.

I often get asked by people if I am against the use of antidepressants. The reason for this is (as some of you may already be aware) I am autistic and do not believe in a cure for autism. Many autistics suffer from depression or other comorbid conditions which can be helped a great deal by the use of antidepressant medication.

There are many people in the autistic community who refuse all medication simply because they are against a cure - this is a classic case of counterproductive pride. Personally, I will take anything that helps with the negatives. Those who view taking medication for a problem as a weakness would do well to compare someone who has an untreated medical problem (whether this be a mental illness or a physical health problem) to someone who does what it takes to treat the same problem. Personally, i'll take advantage of whatever medical technology is available rather than being "natural". There is an argument that someone can become reliant on medication, but if it keeps you functioning (and in some cases alive) then this is no different from being reliant on oxygen.

One thing to bear in mind though, is to always (even if prescribed something by a doctor) research any medication yourself before taking it.

Enough said.

"Tom Cruise" and "good" used so closely together in a sentence?



I'd rather trust people who spent some of the best years of their
lives studying the human body and its interactions with chemicals.

Are we sure he isn't trying to be a comedian?

I don't just mean chocolate.

I mean THIS chocolate:

(Milk chocolate and hazelnut, yay!)

Indeed.

You should research and consider what your options are--normal and unusual, Western and Eastern--try the least damaging and/or more productive ones first, and not get wrapped up in counterproductive pride, lest you come to ignore good options, or cling to ineffective ones.

If something helps, great. If it'll help one symptom and give you ten more, not so great---unless you decide that those ten are worth getting rid of the one, of course.

I'm against hasty medication (such as when children are forcibly put on Ritalin, or some twit has a minor problem and pops pills in an attempt to "solve"' his life), and I'm against stubborn resistance to medication. (I certainly have neighbors who will go to their graves merrily chewing roots that aren't helping them one bit.) Everything has to be taken on a case-by-case basis.

Tom Cruise is good-looking.

There ya go.

You are aware that charisma (in ample doses) cures cancer, right?

Well of course! What else would cure cancer? Drugs? Drugs are bad, mmkay.

It's times like this that I have to ask:

"What Would Xenu Do?"

Probably get all freaky with Tom "Good Looking" cruise.

Or, stuff him in a volcano, and stick his thetan onto some poor person .

(Actually, that makes "WWXD?" a pretty handy slogan.)

If someone you know turns into a smiling, screaming, couch-bouncing pretty-boy, you'll know they're possessed by Tom Cruise's thetan.

I can´t even believe Tom Cruise is a topic at all. A big hit one at that. God bless America.
