Elizabeth Warren- The Trans-Pacific Partnership clause everyone should oppose

39. Okay, thanks for clarification.

I still think you're completely wrong, and it's a little bit (actually quite a bit) offensive to say that.

Kids on ritalin are nowhere near a significant reason why this country is going off the cliff. I mean, seriously--young people who are on antidepressants are the ones responsible for our problems? That's complete and utter crap. We haven't even had a chance to fuck everything up even worse yet.

While I would definitely agree that anti-depressants and "behavior" medications are over-prescribed, that in no way translates to an ignorance of the world around us. There are so many other causes of ignorance, demotivation, and withdrawal today that have been pushed by the oligarchs and corporate powers for years now, but you choose to set the blame on young people who take meds. How ridiculous. I'm sure I'd say this more eloquently, but I'm really at a loss for words.

By the way, I've had a number of friends on anti-depressants, Ritalin, amphetamines, etc., and every last one of them needed it, because their life got fucked up in a hurry if they didn't. But you know, meds are just causing them to stick their heads in the ground and ignore the real world, so maybe they should just stop.

Second, weed is most definitely a medication for many of us. Ever heard of medical marijuana? It's something you might want to look up. Kept my ex-girlfriend alive at least a couple of times, helps her sleep, eat, and function normally. It's helped me recover from injuries and sleep when I otherwise wouldn't have. I've known a couple people who use it for depression. I know older folks who need it for arthritis. And there's plenty of other reasons. So that's why I consider a medication. It can be recreational, but it definitely can be medicinal.

I also don't blame the kids for being over-medicated.

No, you just said that we're fucked unless they pull their over-medicated little heads out of their asses. Wouldn't want to blame them for being medicated, just for everything else.

My apologies if my tone is ott, but what you said is pretty stupid, and would be hurtful to a lot of people I know.
