The ignition key and the door key are the same key for a reason...

While on a business trip to Columbus, my husband's hosts took him to a "local" Italian restaurant. It was the Olive Garden.

I went to grade school in the 70s and back then that school had a huge playground. The best part was the kickball "field" on the paved part of the playground behind the school building. It was laid out in a way that made it possible to hit the back of the school, a three stroy brick building, with an especially good…

First, let's deal with the fact that you have a complete lack of understanding between mental disability and mental illness.

But it's not quite that simple - those places basically warehoused the mentally ill, sometimes (often?) in appalling conditions, and didn't always do much of anything to actually *treat* the illnesses. They basically were prisons for people that we couldn't or wouldn't treat properly.

You can demand responsibility when the care provided for these legitimate diseases reaches necessary levels.

So who do you want to take responsibility? The kid with severe mental health problems who likely has no idea what he is doing? Or the parents? What are they supposed to do? It's sounds like they did everything within their means to help the kid. If that's the case what more do you want them to do?

Mental illness is funny like that. When you're on meds you feel "normal" and you start thinking you're fine and stop taking them. Then it goes downhill

Healthcare is incredibly expensive. Nobody would argue that. There needs to be a better system in place, so that a person experiencing a mental health crisis, gets the same level of care as somebody who has a broken arm. How to do that? I'd be screwed if I know.

Reread the dumb shit you farted out earlier.

I just think the family has shown great absolve in this difficult time.

I don't think you understand mental illness.

Also an issue is the mentality of mental health problems = exorbitant medical costs. See also: physical health problems.

Guys like this are dangerous, but I give a strong "here here" to that second paragraph. So much attention paid to so many issues (homelessness, gun control, crime, substance abuse, health care, veterans' issues) that have a common thread in the putrid state of our mental health system... and a common solution in the…

Ohio has gone to shit like Wisconsin and apparently is more like the South than Tennessee.

Atlantans themselves are not celebrating the Confederacy. The rest of Georgia, however ...

If you're going to be foolish enough to reference women's soccer...

They haven't gotten over it in 150 years, so I don't think Twitter is keeping it from happening.

You really have no idea what you're talking about. Going on an ambassador trip to Cuba and having this limited experience does not give you appropriate knowledge on this subject. The government there wants to whitewash actual conditions and present to your ambassador relative/colleague a rosy picture of how things…
