    DMCA''s do not do a lot to combat people doing something like downloading music, and although I do believe artists are entitled to sell their works, I don't recommend it as a plan to get what little sales you can if no major player is behind you and try to live off it.

    Well it's true, it's horrible for adults as well and shouldn't be taken lightly.

    The reason there's additional emotion attached to children is because we're genetically predispositioned to it, in additional children do not have the ability to defend themselves reasonably.

    An adult can choose to live in safer places, to not walk down that dark alley, to carry pepper spray, or ideally know martial arts and beat the shit out of whomever just tried to rape them (Sadly our laws are so fucked that they would be held accountable for the beating). A child however is not stronger, faster, able to make decisions on where they live and the safety of the area, nor have the experience to make the necessary judgements about people to avoid bad people.

    That's where it becomes a bigger thing.

    It still matches the energy in and energy out equation. Malnutrition will cause your body to enter survival mode, which will significantly reduce its energy output, meaning you will feel more tired.

    It's lowered your energy output to match your caloric intake. So even though you're eating less than you were before, you're still not losing weight as you are also putting out less energy. Even in a resting state your body burns more calories if it has proper nutrition than if it doesn't.

    This is why a healthy eating style is essential to losing weight so that you're not crippling your ability to shed fat while reducing consumption.

    I never said people can just man up over it. Some people will never change, we've proven that in all facets of life, not just depression.

    Why they are that way? We can speculate a thousand reasons, some that make them look negative, ones that make society look negative, not a whole lot that are positive.

    But it still is what it is. It's still someone not "getting over their fucking sadness". That part doesn't change. We might decide as a whole that it makes sense for them to not get over it or decide it's acceptable, but that doesn't change what it is.

    We can set aside the distinction between clinical/nonclinical depression, because for both of those cases you're implying that somehow the sufferer deserves the condition they have presumably due to what you regard as neglect, cowardice or laziness,

    No, the cowardice remark was to the person posting as anonymous coward. My response to them was purely out of the fact that people keep trying to change depression from it's original definition to some mystical thing that no one understands so they can brace themselves with the 'You can't understand' (Because we changed the definition into a mystical thing that no one understands)

    The original poster was correct in using prison as a reason to be depressed, the response about it not being about sadness it's ignorant. It absolutely is about "sadness" obviously that a simplistic view of it, but at it's core, that's what it is. We can analyze it all we want, as to why, chemical balance and everything else, however if you were to take core emotions - Happy, Angry, Sad, etc. It would fall under sad.

    At the end of the day, you can have X reason for being depressed. It does not mean that no one understands you if they disagree with you being in that state as X thing, as depending on the nature of it, a lot of people have put up with X thing, and gotten over it.

    It doesn't mean they don't understand you. They understand it entirely, at times. However, this doesn't mean the way you are behaving over it acceptable, or that you can somehow make it socially acceptable. I realize this doesn't apply to all causes, as mentioned some can actually be a chemical imbalance, or it can be things that I really have no idea about, so I couldn't say that nothing is worth being depressed over, not everything that can happen to someone has happened to me.

    But there are a lot of things that have, and out of those, some people choose to be depressed over the stupidest shit and it's not going to become socially acceptable.

    In addition, I gave you the definitions. If you don't fit in the definition, then you have something other than 'depression'

    Definition:
    Clinical depression is the more severe form of depression, also known as major depression or major depressive disorder. It isn't the same as depression caused by a loss, such as the death of a loved one, or a medical condition, such as a thyroid disorder.

    "Symptoms may be based on your own feelings or on the observations of someone else.

    Clinical depression can affect people of any age, including children. However, clinical depression symptoms, even if severe, usually improve with psychological counseling, antidepressant medications or a combination of the two."

    Don;'t worry, there is an entire army of people who will quickly rush to your aid and demonstrate how it is not their fault, and how everything else is some sort of condition caused by society and genetics, therefore it is also not their fault.

    Fear not though, for their future awaits, when they determine it truly was not their fault and was genetics, and hence begins genetic screening. We're sorry, your gene pool is being eliminated, because you're a fat cheating bitch / bastard who slobs around, is lazy all day, cannot work, has every type of illness, phobia or anti-social behavior.

    This sounds like a troll but it isn't. The reality is there are two choices with two outcomes.

    1. Your will power influences your body, your decisions affect your genetics, you are responsible for your actions, although you might be pre-dispostioned to have a more difficult time making certain decisions, ultimate the decision is yours.

    2. It is not your fault, you are a genetic machine. Free will is more illusionary and all of your problems are based on genetics. As the amount of people with genetic flaws seems to dramatically increase with the ease of life and less being dying from natural selection, the only way society will be able to continue to support itself will be to remove those genetics who do not contribute to what is deemed productive to society.

    Who decides that? Those who have the genes that allows them to make decisions on the behalf of society for the betterment of society.

    Trust me, you want a world where people are responsible for their own actions. That's the one I believe we're in, now we just need people to stop blaming everything else for not giving them the options they want (Like eating the cheesecake AND staying thin), and start taking responsibility for their choices.

    The biggest hinderance to people taking responsibility for their actions means their more inclined not to do whatever they please and get away with it, and people really like doing whatever they please and getting away with it, just often won't admit that. A lot of people are actually terrible people, they just want to be people who are viewed as good people while they continue doing terrible things to get whatever they want.
