  so i called in to my local walgreens pharmacy to get my blood pressure medicine refilled.

  i go to the pharmacy to pick it up and they tell me that the doctor has denied filling it saying to them, "prescription refill not appropriate".

  i asked them what that means and they say you'll have to contact your doctor on that, sorry.

  Hi LTPF, alcohol is a depressant, it makes you numb. You´re obviously in pain. So you need something to numb it, but alcohol´s a bad way to do it. What about taking care of other aspects of your health that will have the added benefit of relaxing you? A brisk walk out in the open 1 hour a day will do wonders!! Also, try to eat healthy, sleep enough, have sex... (relaxes most everyone heheh)... schedule a massage... have hot baths... all those things help!!
  
  Also, it´s a good idea to see a good counsellor that has experience both in cult exiting AND substance abuse. Scientific research shows that cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the best way to combat substance abuse.

  Best of luck!

  last night i told my mom my true feelings on the organization and what i've learned so far.

  it all started from a conversation, we need to go visit the new headquarters.

  my mom has been studying and just recently became an unbaptized publisher in the spanish cong.

  Crazyguy:
  
  

  Only the US makes it easy,

  Crazyguy was saying the US is easy to immigrate to. WRONG. It's one of the toughest countries in the world to immigrate legally...

  Canada is easier but still a long and expensive process, and Mexico is a LOT easier, relatively cheap and fast.
  
  Although it is true that every country will have its own laws as to immigration, Mexico's laws are very easy to meet, and yet, there are thousands upon thousands of illegal immigrants to Mexico, usually from Central America, trying to reach the US. Some decide to stay here illegally, but the Mexican government has sometimes provided amnesty, for example, read this:
  
  http://www.excelsior.com.mx/nacional/2016/10/11/1121733
  
  I think that you're comparing apples to oranges, or at least not you Hecce, but certainly the comments on the full article are.
  
  And saying that Mexico's standards of immigration are higher than the US is a preposterous notion. Can't be further from the truth!
  
  Even comparing illegal US immigration to illegal Mexican immigration, it is much easier to get a job, to cross the Mexico-Guatemala border, to get medical care, to literally just come here on a visa and overstay for years and years... much easier to do that in Mexico than in the US.
  
  I know these things because I've seen them... I have always followed the law and done things like I am supposed to do them, but I know that it is possible, and that it actually happens, and that it is extremely easy, to circumvent the laws in Mexico.
  
  If you want to solve the problem of illegal immigration in the US, be pragmatic about it and actually think about ways to solve the two biggest issues: people overstaying their visas, and employers hiring illegal immigrants.

  Even the thing you posted... 20 DAYS... 30 DAYS... It's a hassle, maybe, to get the paperwork in, but not YEARS or DECADES...
  
  Plenty of reputable sources state that getting a green card takes YEARS.

  None of what you posted, Hecce, changes things.

  Still millions of times harder to get legal status in the U.S.

  cha ching,

  There are various types of visas and temporary residence status you can get. There is a status where you receive all of your money from foreign sources (I work for a Canadian company but remotely). This is perfect for the Mexican Government because I spend virtually all of my income here and not a single Mexican job is threatened.
  
  However, given that the argument in this thread is about U.S. immigration and U.S. immigrants "taking U.S. jobs", I will say this: It's just slightly but not too much harder to get a temporary residence that allows you to work in Mexico. I know because years ago I had to change my status to that kind and I got work as a photographer.
  
  I insist: it's very easy to legally work as a foreigner in Mexico. It's one of the hardest things in the world to do the same in the U.S.

  I can't believe some of you who are saying that legally immigrating to the U.S. is easy. Are you kidding me? True, the U.S. does have a huge illegal immigration problem, but they sure don't make it easy to cross either legally or illegally.
  
  Let's compare U.S. to Mexico and U.S. to Canada borders:
  
  US to Mexico:

  US to Canada:
  
  http://i.imgur.com/jiTQz.jpg
  
  Let's compare getting a Mexican temporary/permanent residence:
  
  You start the process in a Mexican consulate, get a special visa, you buy a ticket to Mexico, you get to Mexico and have that special visa stamped, then you go to the nearest INM office, then you do some more paperwork, pay some fees, and two weeks later you got it. From beginning to end, maybe 2 months tops...
  
  To getting a US green card:
  
  (I've never done the process but there are plenty of reports online that show it's an extremely expensive and slow process that may take up to decades).
  
  Again, while I DO AGREE that the US does have a huge illegal immigration problem, the comparison of immigration to Mexico and the US and making it seem like Mexico's process is hard and the U.S. is "too easy" is the most preposterous and stupid thing I have read in a long time.
  
  The U.S. should make it WAY HARDER for people to overstay their visas. That's what needs to be done.
