  1. Yes, I agree. I think he has taken an extreme position here. Edit: To be fair to RFK Jr, I've only seen articles representing what he has said about SSRIs. Do you have any direct quotes?
  2. I don't have any evidence of a causal link between SSRIs and violence. As I said, if there is any greater prevalence for violence among people who take SSRIs, I would say that in the vast majority of cases it would make sense that the underlying condition which necessitated the use of psychiatric drugs in the first place was ultimately the cause. That doesn't mean that there aren't cases where these drugs could cause an increase in violent thoughts, and I don't see any harm in exploring that further and seeing whether there is evidence of a causal link between SSRIs and violence in certain cases.
  3. I don't care to see anyone banned Mike, and I see a lot of insults here. That said, if I had to pick one person most likely to be banned it would without question be Black Dog. I have not really had any pissing matches with him myself. No ill towards the guy or anything. But when an argument isn't going his way he starts calling people pedos. He has made numerous posts in different threads about another forum member having an attraction to his own children. He is very vulgar. He is not the only one who ever gets vulgar. But he is by far the most. No one else is close. And it doesn't bother me personally because I have heard a lot worse in my life, but once again, if I had to pick one person....
  4. This makes sense. And I do agree that SSRIs do help people. A lot of people argue that the conventional scientific opinion on why they work is wrong, but they still work. But isn't it also possible that in some cases certain SSRIs could have a causal factor. People on SSRIs usually start them on a trial basis and sometimes try multiple medications before they find one that works. You are usually advised to contact your doctor if one of these drugs leads to an uptick in suicidal thoughts for instance. If a drug can cause that in certain individual why would it be wrong to look into whether or not in some cases it could be the drug and not the underlying condition.?
  5. This should be interesting. I wonder if they will release the rest of the JFK files.
  6. A great reminder that now I can go back to hating Brad Marchand.
  7. Seriously though, that was a really tight game. Could have gone either way. Binnington made an amazing save on Brady. That was a good tournament. Far better and more emotional than the all-star game. I kinda miss Russia at these international things though.
  8. Then again, it was a hockey game between two rival teams and all this stuff going on, and given that this is par for the course in hockey games, I'd say hockey itself started the fight.
  9. Clearly we can't have people encouraging others to march peacefully and patriotically.
  10. They also won the hockey game on Saturday night.
  11. Free speech is a threat to our democracy.
  12. No one's freedom of expression is being denied here. My freedom of expression does not require that others must fund it. It only requires that no one interferes with it.
  13. They are definitely right-wing biased. And I think they do a lot of speculation journalism and get a lot wrong. But you know what I have noticed about them. They usually have articles on there everyday that become mainstream news stories a few days to a week later.
  14. But they didn't name themselves after it. They were named that by others, and they saw no reason to change it. Especially when it has a better ring to it than United Statesian. Also the country is the United States of America. The states themselves are individual divisions that are not the entire nation. They unite to become America. So the entire country is named after America, which is actually not a continent. North America is a continent. South America is a continent. Political Smash is a really good name for you. One only has to discuss politics with you about five minutes before wanting to smash their head against a brick wall.
  15. You should switch to using all lower case letters to fight capitalism.
  16. No. Why on earth would it have anything to do with them being ashamed? They already have a name that everyone referred to them by. Why not keep it? Also Ustations just sounds stupid. That doesn't make them ashamed of the country, though. They have a name that works and sounds nice. Why would they change it now? It would be kind of like Prince. You'd be talking about Ustations and someone would say, "The hell you on about?" And you'd have to say "the people formerly known as Americans."
