sloppyjoe2 before we answer that question... can you do us a favor? Can you define for us what exactly an assault rifle is?

sloppyjoe2 there is absolutely no evidence that the assualt weapon ban was effective. Non at all.
It was a political solution to get rid of scary looking black military style weapons. It had nothing to do with how guns functioned... just how they looked.

Folks this case has nothing to do with gun control laws... If they where willing to take the risk of manufacturing explosives... gun control laws would not have stopped them.
Why don't gun control laws keep people in France safe?

For mental health issues of course there is a strong psychological component. However there usually is a very strong physiological component. Diet is vital for good mental health.
Many people find great relief by significantly increasing their cholesterol intake. The brain NEEDS cholesterol.
Carbs cause mood and hormone shifts in your body. If you are prone to mental heath issues this can greatly increase it. Fats give you lasting energy. For me I deal with migraine headaches. If I can keep myself in a ketonic state... I feel MUCH MUCH better. The way to do this first significantly reduce your food intake. It sounds like you might already be doing this through no fault of your own. The next important thing is to greatly increase your fat intake.(PLEASE if you already are not eating much don't decrease it.. just increase the fats you eat)
Here is just the first article that I could find that backs up what I am saying
Another extremely important nutritional component is trace minerals. They are vital for nerve function. Our diets are probably deficient in them. I take pure unadulterated sea salt for its trace minerals. If this doesn't sound like a good idea look for a good supplement that includes the 90+ minerals important to our bodies.

I want to comment on this from a slightly different angle but nontheless related. That os the jw inherent mindset of absolute roght and prilidge to be at your door.-Morpheous
While I did say it had little to do with the cult.... this factor does matter. If I had ran into these people in public with there strong fragrance, I would have considered it in no way rude, I would have just tried to avoid them. Since they insisted on coming to my door, THAT is what made it rude
If the JW was stinking of body odour you would have reason to complain.-cofty
Cofty it is obvious you have no idea what you are talking about on this issue. You need to count your blessings! I react to body odor just like the next guy... but that reaction is NOTHING like the reaction to certain strong chemical fragrances. You need need to thank your higher power that you have never experienced what I have. If you could understand even the slightest bit of what people like I experience.... you would show much more compassion.

Yes it is a first world problem. Humans where never designed/evolved to deal with modern chemical fragrances. I really believe I am like the canary in the mine.
Most of the chemicals we deal with on a daily basis are bad for us! People like me just tend to react to them quicker and stronger than others.

Really? You think it's "totally callous" to wear deodorant or perfume just in case you happen to bump into the one in a million people who happen to find it gives them a sore head?-cofty
Yes and YOU are a perfect example Cofty! You won't even listen to what I have to say. Never did I say no one could ever wear fragrances. All I am asking for is some consideration and some moderation. If you can't even hear that request YES YOU ARE CALLOUS.

Steve... my reaction had very little to do with them being JWs. In a weird way I sometimes actually enjoy the visits. I like to talk abut religious/spiritual issues with who ever will talk with me.
I would have reacted that day the same regardless of who the people at the door where representing. A repair man, a door to door salesmen, or even friends.
Yes my tone was sharp... but I don't know how else to express the seriousness of this issue. Some people have no idea that this is an important issue for people. If nobody tells them, they will never know.
Yes I do have some pent up aggression when dealing with this... but I think it is a totally appropriate response to the total callousness of so many people.
I am only posting it here because it involved JW's but the real issue had very little to do with the cult.

Thank you for you consideration Kate....
If you are going into a public space with good air ventilation do what every you want with your fragrance. However if you are going into someones personal space, or if you will be in a confined space with poor ventilation for a period of time... please show moderation. (Church tends to be one of the worse places.... you have to share space for an hour or more and often the air circulation is poor)
