Montel Williams demands better treatment for veterans

Well

You know the old saying

Where science ends, religion begins

That's the beauty of life sometimes

Just living long enough to see science tackle a religious (ie I can't see it so it must be jeezus or the devil) issue and just kill it

Is like childbirth

People thought having a kid was a 'gift from god' when in reality it's just a fucking sperm fertilizing an egg

There's nothing magical about it at all

Same goes for schizophrenia

People, including my mom, thought a person 'had the devil in them' if they were hearing voices

Turns out it's a chemical problem corrected using....gasp...other chemicals

Sigh

Science takes the fun out of everything

I really wanted to be a wizard

 

You can learn chemistry and mix potions nucca lol

 

Seriously my mom thought praying was a way to defeat schizophrenia, because you had to tackle the devil with Christianity

You can't make this shit up

 

In my house they thought seizures were a demon possession, keep in mind we're a family of nurses and damn engineers. Its like science and the bible couldn't exist in the damn house.

 

Lol fuck

 

Young men and women in Israel join the branches of the IDF after high school. Women serve for 2-2 1/2 years. Men serve for 4 years. It is a good program that continues the defense of Israel. And these men and women have an option to stay after their time is up.

I wanted to enter into military service after high school. I went to see an Air Force recruitment office in Daytona Beach after I graduated. But I was turned down because I had scoliosis and the government didn't want take a chance on me. They didn't want risk a potential lawsuit. I remember when the first Gulf War occurred I wanted to join again. Scoliosis be damned. But again, I was turned down. I went to a Navy recruiter and he told me the same thing. He understood how I felt. But he couldn't do anything about my situation.
I knew a campus security officer who served in the Army who came back from the Gulf. I said I wished I could've been there. He looked at me and said as he shook his head, "No, you don't."

I was and always am envious of service people.

 

This is bogus!

 

I hope i never experience this shit!

 

lmao better that then spiders crawling in your mouth.

 

As long as a succubus makes me nut, she can do whatever she wants to me

Oh and yeah she better be white...or asian

On the real tho...I remember having a few 'monkey on my back' events...they ALWAYS freak me out no matter how many times I take Freddy Krueger or the devil to school with my ninja skills

Not being able to move while u appear to be awake is some scary ass shit LOL

I need a damn carapace of mobility for immunity to paralysis and +50 buff to all skills

I've been tracking this forever

I still recall the VA being a bag of dicks several years ago since the invasion of Iraq, when people were coming back with PTSD and had difficulty getting treated

You'd think they would have stepped up their game by now

Awful

 

You know their response....

Come on...we have memorial day and veterans day....what more do you want?

 

I have a friend who is a Navy retiree and has PTSD and has been unable to obtain psychiatric help. It seems incredible that he hasn't been able to get treatment for the last 2 years, but it's true. And he lives near a large military installation that my ex and I lived on when we were first married. It's still a very active base. Smh. On the other hand, my ex bf is also a Navy retiree and he works for the VA. He gets benefits thrown at him. He never saw combat, though. The other guy has trouble in crowds and I think suffers with depression. He needs the care.

 

This.
