OH GEE WHAT A SHOCKING THING TO LEARN I HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS

Yeah, if the ONLY democratic platforms she agrees with are “don’t be violently racist” and “treat humans like they are human” then I doubt she is going to make waves in Hawaii (#seewhatididthere) (also I actually don’t think you can be pro-choice and anti-marriage equality and even legitimately claim to be in favor of…

You are the very definition of a helicopter mom.

What problem would that be?

Keep working with your hamsters and eventually they can be an example for the rest of us.

I have a cat who looks like a Russian Blue but is actually a gray tabby. He is concerned that he will be stereotyped for his appearance.

My family consisting of me, my partner, and our four cats, cares DEEPLY about the Russia issue.

I’m not special, I’m a person whose life has details that cannot be derived from a few nonspecific paragraphs in an anonymous online forum.

Sure I do. I will now point out that you have no idea what my life is, or anything about my relationship with my father or my perspective on his work.

Whether you like it or not, psychiatrists are human people who have a wealth of feelings about things that bother them, and their personal feelings don’t need to be supported by science or research as long as they understand that those are their personal feelings. It’s their responsibility as professionals to separate…

It’s like you didn’t even read the article, from which this is a direct quote: “Undocumented immigrants are never eligible for food stamps”

I said nothing to imply that my father’s personal feelings about marijuana impacted his professional work. Any psychiatrist who is honest will tell you that working with the severely mentally ill, especially with a large homeless population (as my father did for five decades) will color your perception of things.…

You are reading like 1000 things into my words that I never actually said. And I don’t feel like arguing with you about things I never actually said. Don’t insult someone’s family.

My father in no way agrees with Sessions. That was never what I said, and I never presented what I said as anything but an anecdote from my personal life that is frustrating to me personally. Read better.

....a lot of people over 50 years who were habitual pot smokers and it negatively impacted their life and relationships as such that they ended up in an inpatient psychiatric facility? Was that not obvious?

Not cool, asshole. My dad is an amazing doctor. This is his personal feeling. He never let it color his work, diagnoses, politics, or policy positions. He just can’t bring himself to be liberal about pot because of what he has seen.

Yeah, I think he knows that alcohol factually ruins more lives and kills more people. He’s talking about the individuals he treated during his career, which didn’t include a lot of people who were killed by drunk drivers.

Hey, I agree with you, and I don’t know the specific people/experiences my Dad saw that colored his perception. It’s frustrating. But let’s not call into question my dad’s efficacy as a practitioner. He saved hundreds of lives in a 50+ year career as a ward chief in one of the bigger psychiatric hospitals in the…

My dad is a (retired) psychiatrist and the #1 best person in the world, but he will not give up us marijuana prejudice. He claims to have seen it ruin more lives than alcohol during his career. I can’t refute his personal experience as a practitioner but it drives me nuts because there is no science to back it up.

I’m always happy whenever Trump gets chastised in an official capacity for any reason, but at the same time it SUPER bums me out that we have congressmen sending official letters to the president about twitter.
