Do you think like me? Please tell me if you do.
Just wondering if anyone else thinks like this. It was a blog. Well, still is, but my curiosity is getting the best of me...
Sometimes, word association entertains me. Particularly, the way it works in my own mind. Every time I hear the word "wonder", the stupid jingle from the Wonder Ball commercial gets stuck in my head. You know, the little chocolate ball with hard candy inside. Yeah. They were gross. You know what else is gross, 144. Yeah. 12 times 12 is a gross. Not sure why that word, or how it got to be the same word for a dozen dozens and disgusting. I would like a gross of garlic bread. Its addicting. Last night, I ate almost an entire loaf. Thats the thing about food people like, if its unbelievably delicious, it doesn't matter how hungry you are or aren't, you eat it. And for some reason, eating things we love obsessively make us fat. How? When you look at a candy bar, you see chocolate. Not this big gelatinous blob of future fat. How does that happen? What is it about jiggly things that make us stare? Breasts, fat people, jello, the whacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube guy. We stop and stare. Something in the jiggle and wiggle captivates us, and then, if it involves a person, we feel bad for staring. Why do people care about staring. We stare because something intrigues us. We are truly interested enough to let our eyes linger for several moments, and the object of stare freaks out. Usually you hear "Take a picture", but have you ever tried that? I have. They freak out. Its okay to look at them in person, but a moment frozen in time for you to enjoy without stalking them, no. Thats weird. So many things are considered weird. Strange food combinations, one must be pregnant to enjoy chocolate buffalo wings. If not, well, you're just weird. Its totally unacceptable for your tongue to enjoy different flavors simultaneously. Its also weird to sew your own fingers together. I do it. I don't think it hurts. Thats why I have peircings, I'm not addicted to pain. I generally stay away from things that cause me pain. Like sulfuric acid. That shit burns. I don't want that. Why would I continue to do it if it hurt? I could get fake ones. Sewing my fingers together makes me feel like a super hero. But what doesn't make me feel like a super hero is my middle finger. Yeah. All these people, offended by my finger. You know, I was born with it, and so were millions of other people. It would be strange if I didn't have one, people would feel bad for staring. I would let them take a picture though. They would stare, and then yell at their kids for doing it too. If I didn't have my middle finger, I would be handicapped (which is an oxymoron in this case), and people would feel bad for me. But since I have one, its a lewd gesture. My own fucking finger is a lewd gesture. You know whats an actual lewd gesture? Humping things. People, inanimate objects, animals. Not sexing them, just a fully clothed hump. When you do this, people laugh "Omigod! He's humping a stop sign LOL!". You're creating the image of sexing up an object or person, and its funny. But that same person could flip you off, with a finger they were born with, and HOLY CRAP!!! That was lewd! Why do people get offended? I don't. What could someone do thats so horrible, it alters the course of my life. I mean, I don't like racism. But it doesn't offend me. Its seems contradictory to be racist against racism, but thats just me. Sure, I don't understand the purpose of judgement via skin pigment. But, you know, thats just some peoples cup of tea. When you get down to it, we're all victims of something anyway. You know what I really don't understand? It may offend you. But... Male Rape. Yeah. How the hell does that work? I understand anal rape by another guy, but I'm talking a woman raping a man. Doesn't an erection need to be present? And don't you need to be aroused to have an erection? I mean, if I threaten guy rape, I usually include the components of a rubber band and a stick, to keep it up you know? But thats immature. I hate being called immature. I see so many adults. They worry, they're stressed, depressed. I know they aren't ALL like that. That would be a silly assumption, for I am an adult, and none of those things. But I'm a pervert, and thats immature. Why? Why is it funny to laugh about an innuendo? It's even funnier when its an accident. Like when you tell someone to "come on", and they absent mindedly say "Come on what?". Ha. I think thats funny. But there are those who tsk tsk. Thats immature. Because I find humor, a reason to laugh and smile, I'm immature. Because I think responsibilty is an overrated necessity. I can't be "adult" if I pay bills, live on my own, but still think the word poop is hilarious. Think about it. If you're fighting with someone, and you scream, "I don't give a SHIT!!!", the receiver of said comment is still pissed. But if you yell "I don't give a POOP!!!", odds are, the receiver of that comment will pause, and smile, yet try to keep being mad. So why is immaturity a taboo? Because, once that 18 mark hits, you're automatically supposed to know exactly what you want to do for the rest of your life, get out of your parents after being sheltered for your entire existence (I'm talking in general, I know there are cases and everyone has different experiencees). You are supposed to shit money for college, because parents making college funds is practically obsolete. You need a career, a plan, kids, a fence. For suburbian life to be perfect, you need a drunken college co-ed tyed up in your basement. Why is that? I can't help but notice, black people shoot people. Mexicans stab you, muslims blow you up, and white people torture you for months, cut off your eyelids, keep them in their wallet, slowly dismember you, and then dip you in that damn burning sulfuric acid. I hate that. I hate that when someone is walking alone, and you are running to go do something, the alone person runs too. Like you're chasing them. Because, oh yeah, adults rape each other, then mug them and kill them. We all do it. Everyone of us. So be careful when you run, we're on to you. No offense to rape victims. I truly feel for you. But it seems the cases usually happen by a friend of the family, a family member, ex-boyfriend, or something like that. I have yet to walk down the road and witness a rape in action. I suppose if I did, I would just get a hose. Can't rape all flaccid now can you? Yeah. Then I would be a super hero. Why aren't there super heroes anymore? You know, in all the new movies, the super heroes are fighting off on big bad villains. They never save helpless girls in ridiculous high heels from muggers. They don't stop burglars. They're busy chasing down a big super villain who happens to be the only one that knows his weakness. They aren't fucking super heroes. Duncan MacLeod is a super hero. He saves the women, then he sexes them up. Thats super. And, his weakness is losing his head. All he has to do is wear a metal neckbrace, and he's good. And that dude can pull a sword out of anywhere. And he always has a dark alley or abandoned building to fight in. Convenience falls at his feet. Thats a freaking super hero. Sure, he can't fly, but he can make fuck with thousands of chicks and never get an STD. I'd rather have that power. I'd also like the power to take off all of my clothes without undoing them. You know, like on a cartoon, they just throw off their whole ensemble. One swoop. Nudity. Why can't I do that? It would take away the awkwardness of pre-sex. I hate how that gets all interrupted by falling over when I'm frantically removing my shoes, socks, pants and underwear all at once. Kills the mood. Of course, we could all just be nude. I know I know, there are some people you don't want to see nude. But you know what, after you see a hideous person, you would cringe and not look again. So one moment of retinal trauma is worth it to me. We're all naked under our clothes. Especially those girls that wear itty bitty clothes. Then, when you stare a hole into them, they freak out. Stupid vagina people. I'm one of them. But I'm a stripper, so it doesn't matter to me if I'm stared at. Its my freaking job. Some people think its morally wrong to be a stripper. Its wrong to be eye candy. Its wrong because I'm inducing lust. Yeah, well, I don't think it is. If people want to pay to look at me and touch them, and they can't touch me, what's wrong with that. Nothing. Anyhting you say opposed would be a stupid configuration of wrongness. I don't break up marriages, if someone's wife were sexier, they wouldn't come to me. People choose to go, they will if I'm there or not. But I am. Its great. And its a work out. I get to wear mini clothes. Clothing is overrated. People so quickly judge you for what you wear. There are so many categories of people based off of clothing. Because I'm totally a blend of cotton, polyester, and wool. thats definitely my personality. Actually, I think my personality is more like sequined spandex. Thats just me. Though I would never wear it. I'd prefer to let disco balls to the shining. Why don't we disco anymore? There are hardly any cool dances anymore. The Charleston, The Waltz, Ballroom dancing, The Hokey Pokey (my favorite), none of these are really popular anymore, except in small circles. Now, dancing is just an erection timer. How many times can I rub my ass/boobs/face on his crotch before he gets hard. Thats my job! But everyone does it. You go to a club, and theres so much ass shaking its ridiculous. If I threw a ping pong ball into a club, it would never hit the ground. It would be ass-tennis. I digress. But from what? I don't know. But I digress anyway. I want to.
Have a good day!

I'd have to say...no? You sound like you could either use some professional help, some medication, or some time away from non-prescription drugs. Either that, or you're simply engaged in stream-of-consciousness gibberish-writing out of boredom. In which case, all you need is some more productive form of entertainment.

I find it pretty appalling that you encourage people to take prescription drugs, as if they are harmless. They aren't; they're designed to be addictive and aren't supposed to solve any problems. The big pharma companies (whose 250+ billion revenue relies on addictions) certainly don't want people getting better.
There is nothing inherently wrong with the way she thinks; just because it differs from what you deem to be the norm, doesn't mean she should take some poisonous "medications" to attempt to get rid of what you feel to be undesirable.
As for "entertainment", the vast majority of what our society deems to be "entertaining" is an exercise in numbing and rotting your mind through toxic substances (alcohol, prescription drugs, etc.), and toxic programming (television and the like).
I find it ironic that this type of behaviour is present in a Pagan/Wiccan community; the ignorance and intolerance from you is pretty disturbing.

Yeah. Sorta getting that paranoid delusional feel from you mate. Maybe you should see a doctor about that. Get some *ahem* medication. I find it pretty disturbing that this sort of hypocritical nonsense to come out in a Pagan/Wiccan community, especially an internet forum based one. ...and toxic programming (television and the like).
Maybe an introduction to the modern era would help. We'll sit you down in front of a TV, put some good shows and movies on for you. Maybe a nice cold beer. And some sedatives to deal with that nauseating sense of righteousness you have.

He's not "paranoid delusional." Just because he does not like to take pharmaceutical drugs and does not watch TV, suddenly he's not in touch with the modern era? I don't think there was anything righteous about what he said. He was expressing his opinion when it was asked.

I never said he was. I said that's the way he came off in what he said. And I think you could do with perhaps reading what he said a little more thoroughly. He didn't once state an opinion relating to the topic, so no, the opinion he gave technically wasn't asked for.
What he said wasn't that he dislikes taking pharmaceutical medication, but that it was appalling that [she] encourage[s] people to take prescription drugs, as if [the drugs] are harmless. They aren't; they're designed to be addictive and aren't supposed to solve any problems. Which is at best conspiracy nonsense and at worst utter lies designed to cause decent and panic amoungst people who don't know better.
The point of my statement was to use sarcasm in broad, generic comments and assumptions similar to those in Bain's comment.

Find me one prescription drug outside of penicillin and its derivatives that actually fixes a problem and causes you not to need it any more. Find me one anti-depressant that actually addresses the root causes of the "disease", and I'll retract my statement.
Pharmaceutical companies have a vested interest in only selling drugs which you will need to continue to take. Given the roots of many of these companies, such as Bayer, in I.G. Farben of Nazi Germany, it stands to reason that they might not mind the fact that they don't actually help people. Moreover, given the psychopathic and detached nature of corporations themselves, and their primary interest in profits, I'm curious how it can actually be reasonably argued that they would do something that would hinder future profit (curing an illness; that is of course assuming a physical drug can cure a mental problem, which it cannot - the best you could do in this manner is take a shamanic herb, such as psilocybin, which might encourage some very deep introspection which could help you address the root causes, rather than just throwing on a band-aid).
When did pharmaceutical companies ever pretend to act morally anyway? There was a big American one not long ago that knowingly shipped drugs to Europe that were infected with HIV when their sale was banned in north America. Is this historical fact just "conspiracy nonsense" as well?

maybe if they KNEW the root cause of depression they could make a drug that helps that. and thank you so much for just assuming that everyone is addicted to their prescription medication. i am not. i take it because it is either take the medication or my life. i CHOOSE the medication. please do not talk for everyone when you do not know everyone and their situations.
pharmaceutical companies are not moral. and i dont expect them to be honestly. they are a business and most buisinesses are not moral.

The drugs create a physical addiction just by taking them, similar to heroin. That's why they tell you not to stop taking them suddenly; it could potentially kill you. How else do you define addiction?
There is no physical root cause of depression in virtually all cases; it is a mental/spiritual sickness that manifests physically within the brain, in changing levels of neurotransmitters and the like. The drugs they give you cannot do anything to actually fix the problem; however they were never intended to do so. The drug companies are out to make money, as you seem to be aware; it's against their interests (which are solely based in profit) to cure anything. They're in the business of patenting and selling any chemical concoction which they can con people into taking.
I may not know your particular situation, but I know the nature of the drug companies and the people working with them to drug the populace. The reasons for them go well beyond just profit, although that is a substantial benefit; they help to create a population which is more apathetic to what is happening in the world. It is no surprise that most antidepressants are fluoride-based compounds, if you know when and why fluoridation was first experimented with - in the German and Russian concentration camps, where they found that it made people more tolerant of even the worst conditions. Water fluoridation has since spread to over 2/3 of America's drinking water supplies, as well as much of Canada and many other countries. Drugs are a political tool; they help to ensure a conformist and compliant attitude amongst those subjected to them. The longer you take them, the worse the effect will be. Even in non-fluoridated cities, there are still large amounts of chemicals, often prescription meds, in the drinking water.
You may have chosen the medication, but you likely did it without full knowledge of what you were taking, of the harm it can and will cause you. They may help you in suppressing negative emotions, but over time they will change you in a way in which all too often there is no going back for many people. It's never impossible to stop and begin to heal yourself; however the longer you spend on them, the less likely you are to desire to do so.
I understand to some degree what you are going through; I don't know why you are depressed - that is something which only you can raise and/or address as you see fit. However I spent many years of my life dealing with my own depression, which often had me contemplating suicide. There is unfortunately no quick or easy fix, but you can come to terms with whatever is causing it if you're willing to look within and address it there.
Many shamanic cultures knew far better than ours how to address such ills; you might seek guidance from an elder from such a group, if there are any you know. Otherwise there are tools often employed by them which could help, if you're willing to make an earnest attempt and give them the respect they deserve. These are primarily in the shamanic/hallucinogenic herbs, such as psilocybin mushrooms, peyote, ayahuasca, salvia divinorum, etc. Psilocybin helps to flush built-up fluoride from your pineal gland (fluoride accumulates there much more than anywhere else, which has a devastating effect on your endocrine system - which deals with the secretion of hormones), which is the seat of your third eye chakra. It also encourages a very deep introspection, and often bring insight from the spiritual world, or your greater spiritual self. These tools should be used with the right intentions - they are there for spiritual guidance, not just the seeking of pretty colours and other trivial entertainment. You get what you seek, and what you are open to, if you utilize them. Those earnestly seeking enlightenment and desiring to know more about themselves, the nature of this reality, and their place in it, are far more likely to have an experience that will help them in this.
I hope you don't get the sense that I am pressuring you into something here; I am merely offering my opinion, based on my experiences and the years of research I have done into these subjects. It's your choice whether you consider even a word of what I say. If you are going to criticize or attack me over what I say however, you would do well to understand it as a whole first. I welcome considered questions, and encourage them if you wish to raise them; knee-jerk reactions and insults don't benefit anyone (not to assume you will give these, it's just a common reaction I receive).
Ask yourself though, if taking these drugs has ever brought you any closer to knowing yourself in a meaningful way; if they have ever brought you any real fulfillment, or just the feeling of contentness (at best). Ask if they are guiding you to something which will restore meaning to your life and spark the innate spiritual desire we share, the wonder and amazement in life that most of us had as children but forget after years within a society which demands conformity and submission. If they don't guide you to a real satisfaction, one which makes you truly want to exist and express yourself, if they don't empower you and further you on the path to enlightenment and harmony, is there really any point in taking them?
Again, it is your choice; I don't wish to impose upon your sovereignty, I am merely attempting to offer another perspective. It's your choice whether you consider or dismiss it.
Regardless of what you choose to, I wish you well in your attempts at overcoming the sickness from which you suffer. Forgive me if I have seemed intrusive.

Oh gods! You're right! All those people who've benefited from medication prescribed by a doctor and whose lives are better because of them must really be horribly miserable! Quick, tell the cops to arrest their doctors! *eyeroll*

Prescription drugs are not something I would consider "harmful" unless they are not taken as prescribed...I've been required to take many prescription drugs for my condition, but they would only really be harmful if someone who didn't have my health took them. They are (in my view) no different than taking vitamins. Some people need them and some don't.

Please refer to the discussion on pages 5/6; they are quite different from taking vitamins, especially when they're forced on many children (such as Hooded Crow Green's son, who has been forced to take meds for no reason because of his also-addicted mother), and so many people have been told that they need them - falsely. Vitamins provide things your body tends to need; generally they make up for some deficiency in your diet. Prescription drugs generally introduce foreign chemicals which are very physically addictive, often permanently altering your brain chemistry, damaging your body and nervous system, etc. Moreover, they seldom actually fix a problem (aside from the antibiotics); someone that takes them will tend to have to remain on them for the rest of their life. For so-called "mental disorders", there are some very serious moral questions which have not been sufficiently addressed; it's obvious why the drug companies shy away from telling people the full extent of the damage their drugs can cause (and since they provide a large portion of the funding to the FDA and other groups which regulate them, there's little real independent oversight), it's more profitable to have people hooked on them.
