You do not attack rights, and call it common sense solutions and everyone else knows they are tools and falsehoods. Stop being tools! Stop allowing yourself to be used! Hope life goes better for you, but stop!

This is how I feel and wish someone would tell these people this.

i am going to gripe about something that is so annoying and i know people here see it, as we all do.

every single time a terrorist attack or a shooting takes place today.

there is an endless amount of bull crap false stories, pictures, video clips, etc.

I agree, the odds are it wont be an American name. However, I do think of the OK City bombing and how we all were shocked it was a white man. At the same time, since the gun control debate surfaced and Obama got reelected... the amount of anger and extreme behavior in America has gone up a lot. Can't ignore this happened on Tax Day too. Personally, I predict it is the work of one man with an agenda like the Unibomber.

U.S. Chronic Pain Patients -- No More Pain Meds

by Lady Lee in

the american pain foundation has closed its doors due to lack of funding and a growing hostile environment towards those who suffer with chronic pain.. with deep regret and heavy hearts, we sadly inform you that due to irreparable economic circumstances, apf must cease to exist, effective immediately.

on may 3, 2012, the board of directors formally voted to dissolve the organization.. the board and staff have worked tirelessly over many months to address a significant gap between available financial resources and funds needed to remain operational.

unfortunately, the economic situation has not changed in any meaningful way, despite our best efforts.. apf hopes to be able to transfer content from various information, education, and support programs to other organizations so that you may continue to benefit from the value these programs have provided to thousands of individuals and families across the country.. your personal experiences in living with pain and seeking compassion, empathy and medical care often against the odds -- have driven our efforts over these many years.

Pain meds are a terrible and distructive addiction.

I am going to gripe about something that is so annoying and I know people here see it, as we all do. Every single time a terrorist attack or a shooting takes place today. There is an endless amount of bull crap false stories, pictures, video clips, etc. that suddenly flood social media. Pictures of a fire man crying, with stories about how he just learned his dog was one of the dead. Maybe a soldier holding a boy, with a caption that this man lost his son in the shooting on the day he got home from Iraq. People all post, repond, and share these stories without even checking to see if they are true. Not even realizing that people make this crap up to get off mentally on seeing people buy in to their lie. When they are proven wrong, they still spread... as the lie is faster then the facts to explain them. Not just with attacks, I see it on Facebook photos and other sites about just about anything.

"Hey, did you know Pepsi is going to put a new can out with the pledge, omitting 'Under god' ... boycot Pepsi!". "Did you know a crime spree is happening now, where people drill a hole under your car door handle and break in to find your home address to go their and wait for you to come home?" "Did you know that a tiger lost it's young, and the zoo put tiger costumes on baby pigs to help it deal with the loss and raise those?"

You have all, as well as myself, seen this crap. It is every where and growing daily and ignorant social media addicts are sharing it and not even bothering to check if it is true. Where can you check? Check out snopes.com or maybe google it. Some might have a basis in facts, but more often then not they are just complete and utter bull shit!

I just had to rant. I have to go now, just got a story on Facebook about how one of the bystanders in Boston caught a finger in the explosion and didn't realize until he saw the ring on it, that his wife was there to surprise him with being pregnant! Sounds like it might be true, I need to respond with sadness and share it immediately!

Why Does The Watchtower Dis-fellowshiping For Smoking and Not Gluttony and Alcoholism?

by ÁrbolesdeArabia in

health care studies are showing obese body weight index is worse than smoking "death sticks", so how is the tower going to address their growing problem of overweight elders and elderettes?

if a organization is able to disfellowship a member for smoking, why not do the same with other vices and crutches their people use to hide stress, emotional disorders and depression?

employers are asking for a bmi test a their potential employees to create a diet to get healthy.

This topic comes up on here a lot. Fat people are supposed to be people we feel sorry for and put them on government assistence, give them skooters and make sure they have special rights. Ignore that they will most likely die young, have medical bills that could be the size of a national debt of small countries, etc. We just must feel sorry for them and give support for their ways and accept them. Well, you all can do that and the Jehovah's Witnesses can do that. But we are a fat nation, love fast food way too much and need to pull our heads out of our ass if we think being fat is all about how we are born. You got two legs, walk more or run. You got two arms, not there to shovel in large portions of food. You have a brain, teach it about healthly living and eating. Then when you see a person that is morbidly obese, think to yourself ... these people are weak, losers, and need help! Not pity and not government assistence... of course, when you do see them remember to move to the side to avoid the skooter hitting you as it goes by.

Simon has stated the AAWA facts with exact precision

by james_woods in

i think the problem is, as before, how the aawa is handling things and refusing to answer your critics makes things worse.

critics are not people out to get you, they are critical of something that you have done or given the appearance of doing and pr is the job of responding to address the criticisms.. this is the internet people, you can't just pretend that things didn't happen by deleting the comments!

especially not with a group that wants to claim to offer support and be open and honest.

Wow! You all take life and places like this way to serious.
