Because we are. Look within anyone without the book long enough and you could say that.

I like trying to be an optimist so I can see the good instead of the fucked up stuff.

I'm working on that as my new outlook. No longer staring at the dark side of people, waiting to find their deep buried bad side.

It's not easy, but I do feel better. Appreciating the small things and trying to reestablish the wonderment of the environment around me, like a lone bird patched over the sunset, makes things a bit better as well.

Good Luck on being mindful of a more optimistic view!

Vain, arrogant. Signs of inflate ego, but not narcissistic. Lack of concern for general "rules of conformity," inappropriate humor, without understanding the ramifications. Socially and physically mobile, involves himself with new companies for challenge. Signs of sexual deviance through "humor."

Sounds like we got a DSM certifiable Sociopath on our hands!

I have to agree it does have addictive qualities. I was hooked at the start ,hated my lack of rep .. wanted more likes etc.. seeing the notifications were like a shot of something addictive for sure. I don't care so much now. I guess it is because we all want to feel popular and accepted .. and perhaps there is a game like element to it , where the mission is get to the max.. and we all like to beat the game right?. Though I think there is a line, once you go past it you are a junky.. kind of the same as being addicted to an addictive drug. For instance, Finshaggy would have died a long time ago from an overdose

I enjoy the like feature for more than just a ego boost. When people hit like on your post usually it means they want to continue having a conversation with you which benifits both people. Also if your posting in plant problems or newbie central, hitting the like button on posts you like draws your helper back with more information for you to suck up and gives good carma to the bad man helping you do bad things. WIN. :):):)

5150 & 5250 call for more than rehabs. Psychiatric holds are different and you know this. Let me rephrase this. Locks on inpatient facilities in my state are not locked down. They're locked on the outside but patients are free to leave. I saw a guy walk out on a 28 day rehab to face 7 years of federal time for the crimes committed.

You also know that the U.S. is very different than a country smaller than most of our states where studies like that are done. I can also show stats where certain communities are doing better and healing because of damp laws and ordinances to not sell liquor in their communities. I don't think these smaller communities would do that well with Crack R Us and Heroin Mart set up there. In fact one could say that big oil would love that approach to wiping out those communities in order to gain access to their lands.

Something needs to change for sure. I just don't think that with the history of companies like Phillip Morris that I want them slinging bundles of crack and heroin either. I sure as hell don't want to ever smoke their weed once they get the green light on the acreage they own in N. Cali.

Edit: We also have the white lab coat opiate dealers already, that's really not going that well. As a matter of fact since their rise in the 90's pain management has been leading people down a path of addiction at a pretty steady pace. Everyone trusts the guy in the while lab coat with the sloppy writing though. People are conditioned to accept those little orange bottles as gospel.

ReEdit: I still love ya Annie!

LOL now you are just arguing about price.

Freedom comes at a very high price and evolution is a harsh mistress. We are either free or we are not. We don't need to argue about which mean we are regressing toward.

Love you too kiddo :) If you can't argue with your buds who can you argue with LOL!
