Unpopular Opinions

[GreenLadyOfDankDowns]

You'd be surprised Reb, I get at least five rude comments from total strangers a week.

Who would be rude enough to say something about your weight?

Thats pretty low on the scale of bad things in my opinion.

Faith and knowledge are not the same thing.

Yes it is.

The world is screwed up, and sadly a lot of people's mamas didn't raise them right. lol Mrs. G! (snickers and goes in search of a joint)

Anal sex rocks.
Anything between two (or more) consenting adults is cool.
People should check http://www.snopes com before forwarding idiotic alarmist emails.
E-mails with sappy Christian sentiment should go directly to the spam folder.

EDD, ADD, ADHD, Bipolar, Depression, etc are all fake syndromes made up to con people into buying prescription drugs

Once hooked, people have to get additional prescriptions to treat the side effects of the original meds, further lining the pockets of the pharma industry

PHARMA advertisements should be banned from television and radio - I don't wanna hear about your fuckin EDD or depression or bipolar mania. Go smoke a fatty and shut the fuck up!

Haha dude, you can't be serious? As someone that suffers from one of those, I must say you may want to check the facts. ~

Well that is why its an opinion, not a fact. I'll consider that some people may exhibit occasional behaviors resembling these conditions, but really - the pharma companies are brainwashing people into becoming dependant on meds, then treating side effects with other meds, etc, etc. Its a vicious cycle...

Check out this video -- it might open some minds:
The Drugging of our Children (Gary Null) (SSRI drug dangers)(Columbine shooting)
It's long but worth watching.

I say it is about time folks challenge what the TV and Pharma tell them and adjust diet, exercise, and environment to achieve wellness. Will it cure 100 percent of the population? No. But neither will prescription meds.

Peace :hippy:

You have missed the entire point of this thread.^ And stop name calling.

99.9% of fat people arent like that because of medical conditions. im not saying they are lazy, i am saying they havent made a concerted effort to work the weight off. and that goes for the person on here claiming it. id like to know the medical condition and if it somehow prevents cardio exercise from burning calories. making rude comments to fat people is cruel, but like running up the score you dont like it do something about it i highly doubt you have talked to a doctor and they have said there is no way you can lose weight. and if you have, dont say you are secure with yourself and feel good about yourself if you cant handle the comments, because then you are just lying to yourself

and those syndromes are not fake, you nimrod. they are proven facts. here is what i will say, a lot of them are highly misdiagnosed and diagnosed too often(like diseases people claim make them fat), by people who are just unhappy, hyper etc. people really have them, that is a fact. it is also a fact that a lot of people getting drug treatment for them dont actually have them. saying they are made up isnt an opinion, it is proven to be untrue and a ludicrous thing to say

fact Pronunciation Key - [fakt]
â??noun
-- a truth known by actual experience or observation; something known to be true: Scientists gather facts about plant growth.

FACT: People with a severe thyroid problem cannot lose weight as their metabolism slows to the point where even if they stop eating anything but salad and exercise 2 hours a day they retain their weight until they are put on appropriate medication.

FACT: This thread is titled Unpopular Opinions and no matter how many names you call me I am still entitled to my opinion, albeit unpopular.

OPINION: I agree that misdiagnosis and overprescription is a problem. I also feel that people can get well by channging their diet, exercise, and lifestyle patterns.

OPINION: I think that name calling is silly and juvenile, but at the same time funny...

Happy Thursday folks! imp:
