Trauma Pill Might Help Ease Emotional Pain
FrenchyinOntario writes "Canada's Globe & Mail is reporting that scientists are currently testing a 'trauma pill' that might help the victims of rape, the battlefield and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) forget or perhaps simply never store the memories of what happened to them the way they are stored normally immediately after the traumatic event, when the brain overloads itself with stress hormones. It's theorized that the pills could eventually be handed out to victims of Katrina-like disasters as well as returning war veterans. Critics wonder what kind of an effect it would have on a victim not to work through the pain like people have traditionally done."
What a load of crap. Ever met anyone who reached "nirvana"? I think not. Then how do you know it exists? None of your 4 so-called points bear any resemblance to fact.
The whole karma / reincarnation concept is a total crock. Who setup and administers the reincarnation process? Buddhists don't believe in a personal god, but an inpersonal force. However, to orchestrate reincarnation, such a force requires by necessity intelligence and the ability to reason, remember and observe. Said force would need to be omni-present and have a personal interest in justice and human life. Basically what you need for this to actually be real is a personal, ever-present, all-powerful deity..... which buddhists don't believe in. Sheesh!!!
What an excellent point!
Why don't I just re-write was written right in the first place, yes?. Err, no! Let's not.
Don't I know you from somewhere?
No, of course not. You're just like every other idiot with an issue.
Maybe it's 'coz I got good wi' words, and you're not, eh?
Move along, son. There's nothing for you here...
