Drug dealers indeed, and they manage to skirt the law because they're "doctors"...ugh.
Yeah, I know about the problems with Zyprexa. You want to know what's worse? The fucking doctor tried to put me on Zyprexa and Depakote at the same time! That's not a good idea - look the drugs up on WebMD (as I did). They could react horribly to each other. Damn, I'm glad I tore the scripts up. </rant>
Sometimes medicine can be a Bad Thing; if it doesn't have its desired effect, it probably isn't doing anything good and most likely is ruining you...
I stopped taking Prozac and refused to take Zyprexa when prescribed for that reason. It turned out my problem (depression) was a product of environment. When I could afford to get out and *do* stuff - go to the mall, watch movies, buy new clothes - I was no longer depressed.
Then explain why I weigh 200# and only stand 5'6", and why I eat sometimes five full meals a day. (Plus, I'm horribly out of shape and I look like a pregnant woman.)
The common forms of Christianity practiced in the US today encourage intolerance and bigotry. This is no Christianity! Jesus preached acceptance, inclusion, even friendship with "outsiders".
Bigotry: The light of the body is the eye: if then thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be light. But if thine eye be wicked, then all thy body shall be dark. Wherefore if the light that is in thee, be darkness, how great is that darkness!Matthew 6.22-23 Tomson
Intolerance: Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged, and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why seest thou the mote, that is in thy brother's eye, and perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how sayest thou to thy brother, Suffer me to cast out the mote out of thine eye, and behold, a beam is in thine own eye Hypocrite, first cast out that beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Matthew 7.1-5 Tomson
I think these people only selectively read their own holy writ, or at least don't bother to apply it to their own lives.
Yes, "Christianity" is a major problem in America today.
Hey, no problems here. Short, sweet, to the point, who needs more? (Besides it's 2:15 local time here, in the morning. If he lives in the US anywhere, he's probably half asleep anyway.)

Sci-fi gives us the impetus we need to actually get off our duffs and INVENT. It's not surprising that stuff once mentioned in SF is now making its appearance on our Earth.
And from this n00b's perspective (I come from Windows by way of GS/OS, so I've seen a few GUIs - I like GS/OS the best), RH8 with FVWM2 is quite nice. A little clumsy compared to Windoze, KDE and GNOME, but perfectly usable for *my* needs.
Do you think all Bible-thumpers are so closed-minded?
Most of them don't even know about the "Tomson" New Testament I provided a link to - and if they did, they'd vilify it out of habit since it isn't their "pet" translation (i.e., the KJV).
Most of them vilify people like me who blur the gender lines without actually being homosexual.
Most of them selectively read the Bible.
Most of them are probably rah-rahing Asscroft now.
I'm a Bible-thumper, I'm a conservative, but I'm a libertarian, I'm open-minded, and I'm not a fscking WASP. I eat stereotypes for lunch. I've probably gone through as much in my 23.5 years as many of you Slashbots have ever gone through, and my emotional state has the scars to show it. I'm not your typical right-wing fundie radical.
That said, we should take the Pat Act and use it against Our Greatest Terrorists (Asscroft and Dubya) and see how they like it.
I told you, I *am* a conservative. Besides, you obviously don't know the meaning of "Bible-thumper" (although you sound like you're trying to be one). Go into any Southern Baptist church and tell me you don't know what a Bible thumper is.
The government has gotten too big for its breeches and its time for a fscking change. I support the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I do not support the Patriot Act. I do not support Asscroft, or (Man With A) Bush. I'll admit it outright. Bush is an asshat, Ashcroft is a communist bastard, and Congress is attacking the Bill of Rights, well, fsck them, if it gets any more out of control I'm writing a declaration of independence and seceding from the United States of America. (Note: Spelling is correct.) Come, join me and together we will make this world a better place:)
System's faster than Win98 on the same box (comparison: MAME 0.69 running Mortal Kombat II). I almost never bring this 64MB box to its knees (compared to KDE and GNOME), and almost never have a program crash on me; the kernel (2.4.18, IIRC) has only panicked on me once EVER. And with Windows I used to have to reboot every 3-4 hours; I'm running this box for days on end without a reboot. It's not a monster. Celeron 700. It's perfect for what I need ('cept maybe more RAM, 64MB isn't enough now).

Besides, my TV tuner card refuses to work on Win98SE (which it was designed for) while it works flawlessly on Linux. I get much more bang for my buck running Linux than I ever could with Windows.
Besides, I only used Windows, really, to multitask DOS apps, or to run apps which were also out on DOS anyway. I can do that just fine with DOSEMU, and I can even play Losedoze Solitaire under Windows 3.00a's Real Mode if I don't want to run Wine.
Hey, also, you know, XMAME runs faster than MAME for Windows - on the same hardware.
