PBS Frontline: The Medicted Children
on: February 07, 2008, 03:01:00 am
I watched part of it on youtube and honestly it is quite scary. When medication is applied to people who actually need it, it is quite benefitial. But this is getting out of hand. Some of these kids might benefit from therapy of some kind (like adequate parenting), but to just pump them up with drugs is dangerous, especially with very young children.


Any thoughts on this?
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Medicines and healthcare are for the weak who are afraid of natural selection.

Why watch it on YouTube when you can watch it in better quality right on PBS' website?

It looks interesting. I've been meaning to sit down and give it a look.

I think there is definitely an overmedication problem.  People expect their kids to come out of the womb as adults, and think they have brain problems when, get this, they act like children!  It also doesn't help that there's a "medical condition" that is basically described by a short attention span, when our society promotes multi-tasking, which has the unhealthy side-effect of short attention spans.

Yeah, we got problems.  What else is new?
Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky!

anyone notice that all those mothers were fat.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
