The side effects of all these daily drugs maked me scared for humanity. The drug corporations fought like hell to not have the side effects listed at all. The side effect "thoughts of suicide', is it just me? why would any Doctor risk those side effects on their patient.

Warren's Comments Strike Me as Odd Indykatie Apr 2013 #94

Even more odd, Warren called the suicide a "decision." No one decides to be mentally ill. SunSeeker Apr 2013 #103

Just as no one decides to be gay or straight MarcoS Apr 2013 #121

Should anyone who is mentally ill have rights curtailed... Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #127

Mentally ill people don't have a right to a gun. SunSeeker Apr 2013 #148

Ah, yes, more insults & attacks. Typical. Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #158

Of course the mentally ill have due process rights. SunSeeker Apr 2013 #159

The silly trick questions and the OUTRAGE are tells HangOnKids Apr 2013 #163

LOL. SunSeeker Apr 2013 #165

Trick question? If he was prevented from having a gun... Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #168

Arguing that mentally ill people should have guns is not in the mainstream. SunSeeker Apr 2013 #170

Sounds like poutrage; it would be more convincing if... Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #190

No, I'm just stating the facts. nt SunSeeker Apr 2013 #192

And I see none coming from you. nt Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #194

Complaining about attacks and insults with.... HangOnKids Apr 2013 #161

No attacks & insults issued by me. Re-check your cards. Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #169

Implying I do not think the mentally ill have any rights is an insult. SunSeeker Apr 2013 #171

I asked a reasonable question based on your remarks Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #188

It was not reasonable to accuse me of believing the mentally ill have no rights. SunSeeker Apr 2013 #191

Again, distortions: Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #195

You. SunSeeker Apr 2013 #197

You #102. You #157. You brought it up... Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #198

YOU attacked ME for saying our gun culture lets mentally ill folks have a gun. SunSeeker Apr 2013 #199

Well, at least you admit bring up the subject before I did. There is little credibility left... Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #200

Wow. Just wow. You're so far out there. SunSeeker Apr 2013 #201

You can't take a challenge well, and think it is an attack. Eleanors38 Apr 2013 #202

I don't see the usefulness of such speculation. yellowcanine Apr 2013 #160

I disagree... Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2013 #164

If you precede any reason with "IF" just about anything can be justified. yellowcanine Apr 2013 #175

And we all know the internet is no place for that sort of thing. Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2013 #180

No more justified on the internet than anywhere else. yellowcanine Apr 2013 #181
