Welcome to Gaia! ::

AoD:Yea.. I just got chorus and I thought my singing wasn't that bad..

But stop that sarcasm! She really is mean, I just can't really explain it unless you know her personally.

AoD+Chicky: Thank you for the encouragement from the both of you. I'll try to follow your advices. (: heart

Relocated from the member news thread



Your posts really aren't that amusing. You've got a horrible way of presenting your thoughts in a severely sardonic format that gives a very arrogant impression.

In any event... shampoo has warning labels of side effects also... those side effects are for IMPROPER use. Anything used incorrectly can be bad.
let's take a look at tylenol. Tylenol is just acetaminophen. It's in the pain releiver class and it does this by dimming the nerves to require a greater stimulation before the pain recieptors acknowledge a pain sensation. It also puts a hard limit on the temerature control functions of the brain to aid with fevers. Acetaminophen was approved by the FDA in 1951 (Yeah I looked up the date.)

Due to it's chemical nature it is metabolized by the liver. So if you take tylenol for a hang over, while drinking, before drinking, or while on any other drug that weakens the liver it may cause further damage to the liver.

It's safe for use during all stages of pregnancy and during nursing. (i looked up the pregnancy thing too... cause I've never needed to know that)

The official side effects for tylenol (by independant study) are as follows: "When used appropriately, side effects are rare. The most serious side effect is liver damage due to large doses, chronic use or concomitant use with alcohol or other drugs that also damage the liver."

Tell me again how this is dangerous when used properly?

Your generalizations of peoples conditions and reasons isn't making you very reliable. Not everyone who quits cold turkey goes back on. Not everyone who quits properly stays off of it after. Even if you go through the doctor recommended process of dose reducement until you're "weened" off the medication, once you take your last dose you're on a countdown before you go through a withdrawel stage. The weening just lessens the intensity. Either way at that point it's a matter of will power and to be blunt, the majority of people who willingly depend on those meds lack willpower which is how they got there to begin with.

As for ADHD there is a fairly large school (though still a minority) that is with me on the stance that ADHD is not real. Now when I say that understand that I'm saying "Attention Deficite Hyperactive Disorder" is not real. The reason I say this is that although the symptoms exist, I don't beleive it's a disorder. It's just the effect of the information age. Children are growing up exposed to higher amounts of multilevel fragmented data and as a result have a capacity for quick transitions. The reason it's viewed as a disorder by the scholastic community is two fold. First it's because the current scholastic structure is completely unable to instruct on such a level. The approach institutionalised by western civilization is very structured and linear. This doesn't mesh well with our entertainment and internet absorbtion. So instead of spending millions to restructure schools to fit the needs of the students we move to the second fold. There is a lot of money parents are willing to pay to dose thier kids. So why spend money to keep up with progress when you can make a profit? There is a reason they can only inhibit the symptoms and still can't pinpoint the actual facets of the "disorder"

I'm not expecting pharmacists to know all the side effects or functions when they release a drug. The chemical compositions of each person on a case by case basis is too varied to make a case study foolproof. However... the doctors that perscribe this s**t to people, especially minors... most of them need a crash course in ethics and should revisit the Hipocratic oath.

DD:

That's strange. Hell, even our dorms allow fishies.

Me and my boyfriend bith wanna move out (of our parents houses) and live together....but my parents don't think it is neccesary (although it will that it will only take me an hour to get to school instead of 2 hours and 15 min.) ....his mum probably won't agree either...

So that leaves his dad (his parents are divorced) but he barely sees him and its kinda weird to ask him....

And another problem is where can we go. Cos his university is very far from my college. There is one city where we wanna go (which is in the middle and not so very far from our parents houses) but we can not find anything.

And I'm dying here....I'm going crazy here....I have to do EVERYTHING and my sisters nothing...and they get everything they want...

Well, I can definitely agree with the no dogs rule and the no birds rule because of noise and such because all the people in the other buildings seem to have dogs, and they won't shut up (I don't really mind, though... I've grown up around dogs). I can see how that could prove to be annoying, especially in a fourplex where you have to share walls.

But, with cats I think its more our furniture that would get more damaged, so I don't see why it'd bother them.

Although, you're right. It all boils down to the irresponsable pet owners who don't look after their pets very well. Take my one neighbour for an example. They never take their doggie out for walks, when it needs to be outside they put it on a leash and attach it outside the door in their tiny yard that isn't even fenced.

I feel bad for that dog. ):

Anywho, I can see your points Impy. Its just a little frustrating because I miss having pets.

But I want a kittyyyy. ):
