The whole point of ADD meds is top allow kids to learn to socialize properly in thei formative years, up to around 13. If they do not do so it is VERYdifficult to do so later in life.
My son was an ADHD sufferer whe he was between 8 and 13 years old. He was given ritolin, which enabled him to stay focused at school and to control his previously uncontrollable behaiour.
He was a classic ADHD profile, in that he had a very difficult labour followed by an urgent ceaserian, then seperation from his mother for 10 hours.
It really pisses me offf when people who have never been in a situation judge what others should do.
My son has been off ADHD meds for 8 years now and is a brilliant kid, well behaved, kind and gentle. Another factor in helping him was glider pilot training which taught discapline to him. He is studying now to be an airline pilot and doing very well.
These drugs may sometimes be prescibed to kids who dont need them, but the benefit to those who do need them is very great, in that it helps them learn to socialize properly with others during the critical pre teen years.
Jail is most unlikely for such an offence. Almost as unlikley as getting caught. It is easy to drive without a licence and not get caught.
A person was caught here recently who had been driving for 30 years wothout a licence. It takes at least 3-4 offences before jail is in the picture.
We (.au) are not the US you know, our courts and police are reasonably well run and fair. We DONT allow elections for judges or prosecutors at all thank goodness.
I doubt that very much. Whilst we in.au are US allies, we would, not take kindly to one of our citizens being kidnapped by the US in this way again. The last person David Hicks at least was in Afghanistan.
As an au citizen who noone thinks is a terrorist, the reaction here would be very strong. We are one of the few nations still with troops on the gound fighting the US.
Not ONE australian politician has called for ANY action against him.
How about you stop stamping your little feet in frustration and face the reality.
Had you one ounce of courage in your convictions you would have logged in and got the troll mod you so obviously deserve. I think the mods are absolutley correct and that you are an ass.
"maybe if he came across documents showing that we were burning women and children to death with phosphorous weapons, he'd just ignore it and continue to do his job."
In all fairness even the US military is not that evil. If you want evil on that scale of course the number one suspect is Israel.
Why on earth would Assange want to visit the US. More and more the behaviour of US TSA is putting off anyone visiting the US. I did so in 1975, and I would not bother again.
You do realise that as a non citizen he cannot be guilty of treason dont you? So what could he ne charged with?
Wait what? A good guitar, and I mean really good, will usually cost around $3000 alone. A good drum kit the same, and a bass guitar-again the same. Not to emntion amps.
There are varying levels of good, but in my 30 years inm usic production, the quality of instruments at his price is much bettee than cheaper ones.
I would agree you can get OK instruments for 10,000, but not excellent instruments.
its interesting how so many US folks are happy to have this, to mitigate the danger for cars, but are simply unable to comprehend that allowing the average idiot to own a gun is a bad thing. As far as I am concerned driving is a right, and I would copntinue to do so regarless of what the legal system says licence or not.
"I doubt it protects a computer after 3.5 years as people don't really expect them to last that long. "
I certainly expect computers to last at least 5 years. All my home machines are going just fine after 5 years. The only new model I have is my work supplied laptop.
At home all laptops-for Home ent system and one on a docking station with dual montiors. I dont do gaming and a 2 gig centrino is fine for most day to day computing.
Yeh, I have a shopping bag full of old caps from such units (And motherboards). A vaccum desoldering station helps though! When at its peak it was nice little earner for me!
Wait WTF? Here in.au no company would be able to avoid their warranty responsibilities in this way.
If you have a receipt you have warranty. Registration would have no effect under Aus consumer law, no sale contract can allow you to avoid warranty claims. Something tells me you are from the US, where it seems consumer protection is a bit lax.
I am an Australian, and we have troops in afghanistan. I fully support Assange and wikileaks actions.
As far as outlook on the US a lot of us still cant stop laughing about the reaction to having a decent health system produced, and the belief that carrying guns make anyone safer, never mind dummy spits such as this.
Never mind the hillarity that calling any US a politician a socialst induces. You just have right wing and far right wing politicians.
Despite checking carefully after reading claims such as you make, I saw no sign of insurgents, just civilians being killed by a bunch of cowboys, who were obviously enjoying themselves.
It is stunning anyone can watch the van with children in it coming to the aid of wounded and conclude it was justified.
So your an Australian eh? Thought not.If you really think that wikileaks would disappear just because on person is no longer there, you are even more stupid than your post indictaes.
Something my Ipaq 312 has been doing for years before the iphone appeared is a mac innovation eh? It uses exactly the same resistor + logic method to protect USB ports.
But it can still pull 500ma from a PC.
And guess what, I can use my 312 like an external drive and drag and drop.
Not superior at all reallly-except in the fanboy mind.

Well I was refering to phosphorus in my post, but you are right, this was no better.
Both equally evil then?
Ooops. yes quite so.

To quote yes Minister.
When you start to interfere with the internal affairs of another country you are on a very slippery slide.....
Sounds about right going by recent experiences eh?
To make a big unpoular change, you use salami tactics, introducing things
a small slice at a time.

I still have a libretto, it is only 166mmx and weighs a lot in its steel case. Dont know how the webcam would go on such a slow processor either.
Benji mouse :"It has to be prepared"

I think he means cheque, for those of you in the civilized world.

Surely one must be a US citizen to commit treason against the US. Assange is an Australian.

You really drank the kool-aid eh?

I doubt that undercover FBI agents wear FBI caps, even for them that would be stupid.
Plain clothes agents maybe......
