I immediately thought of Roger Rabbit too, I watched that movie repeatedly. I always had to close my eyes or fastforward the dip scene though. I still get sad thinking of that little cartoon shoe.

I'm sorry but what a strange assumption to make about someone. Did she say something that led you to believe this? Her career is remarkable and I found in the post-race interview she displayed nothing but graciousness and humility.

Are you saying I just came off as a huge weirdo? On the internet? Noooo! The internet is the only place I receive positive feedback from online peers that apparently without I am potentially subject to developing ASPD!! Or is indicative that I already have ASPD? Wait, this isn't based on a research project, just the…

It's because this person doesn't know what mutually exclusive means.

"If You’re Not on Facebook, You’re Probably A Antisocial"

Exact same here. I did have an account and I just didn't like it. It's not deeper than that. So to assert that it is abnormal or deviant to not like something that the majority enjoys is well, judgmental.

Agreed! Sociopath is also a completely outdated term.

Ahhh a voice of reason. Thanks, you rock.

I didn't say they were exactly the same issue. I was comparing response techniques to issues, why don't you get that? I would never condone forced pregnancy testing, that's absurd. It was a larger comment about society's paternalistic reaction to social issues in general. The fact that I have to spell this out…

Wrong. You totally missed my point. I can see how you believe utilizing a different social issue as inappropriate or seemingly misguided of me, but that's not why I said you're a bad person. Your comment about my annihilated brain cells was ridiculing drug addiction - that's what makes you a bad person and I'll add…

I was discussing how social issues are indicative of needs and resources, not a punitive response. Perhaps a seemingly bizarre metaphor, sorry you missed my point. By saying that young women need resources I am clearly not saying they are pregnant whores. I realize they are kicking them out and I am saying that is…

Thanks for saying that so eloquently. I really wish studies in US racial issues were more mainstream because the conclusions that people come to are so harmful.

Ugh, that was so not his message. That hurts.

The high school I went to had mandatory drug-testing if they thought you seemed intoxicated which I used to think was so wrong (probably cause I was always high so I was paranoid about getting tested). In hindsight though, they didn't kick anyone out of school or alert the police. They did suspend the student until…

Very true, good point.

"This might be a great week to be a chicken, but it's the fucking worst week to be a fat gay guy."

No one has the right to stomp on other's rights in the name of rights. Am I right?

Agreed. I don't even smoke pot but damn the prohibition of it is ludicrous.

Agree to disagree then, totally. Because I was powerless and I wasn't functioning, but today I am. And no one dominated me out of addiction, I was embraced by wonderful, intelligent, and successful women who showed me how to live in this world without drugs - which is mind-blowing.

The irony here is that I don't disagree with you. I agree that there is paternalism and an insistence that there is "one way", which I also agree is harmful. That is why I expressed my frustration about being combated by AA members about harm reduction, they become insistent that I am harming people because they have…
