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
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.
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.
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
http://www.msnbc.com/all/report-vets-wait-times-care-appointments 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.
