    for myself he was struggling with school and we took him to a psychiatrist that specialized in ADHD diagnosis. 

    this is exactly why we did it for our boys. the difference at school is night and day.

    but i do know that the drug depresses their overall mid-day appetite, and it would not surprise me if that had a knock-on effect on growth curves. but our shit is all fucked because they were both premature births.

    I see this as a problem too, actually.  Its why we ought to be figuring out real solutions instead of the feel good bullshit that mostly gets thrown around these days.

    But we aren't allowed to have the conversation to figure out real solutions because neither side trusts the other to actually want to have that conversation.  2nd Amendment guys tend to think anyone who wants any regulation at all is out to take away everyone's guns so they don't want to give an inch, and people who want to talk about real gun reform think the 2nd Amendment guys are being assholes rather than just lacking in trust for the conversation actually being about reform and not confiscation.  That has to get fixed if you want to figure something out.  Until its fixed ain't a god damned thing changing about the conversation.

    However, if these mass shootings keep up, what will change is that eventually those 2nd Amendment guys are going to be left out of the conversation and they are going to get gun reform whether they like it or not, and its likely going to be worse than it could've been if they'd been part of the discussion to begin with.  The 2nd Amendment guys will be like the people who railed against gay marriage and would have no discussions about alternatives who ended up just being left out of the conversation.  When they realized it and tried to finally participate in the conversation about maybe having a civil union statute, it was too late and now they get to see married gays running around the country.

    exactly my point above. well said. i give you one "haha" emoji, because thanks doesn't make sense here. neither does haha but fuck it

    Old enough to fight in a war, old enough to vote, drink, drive, fuck,..........

    i tend to agree with this. it's also old enough to face prosecution as an adult. 

    which is sort of another tangential topic here. why do we prosecute minors as adults. how is that even legal? either the age means something or it doesn't.

    I do not want to stop the sale of firearms or confiscate from responsible owners.  I think if you were more honest,  you'd admit you have a lazy, bullshit opinion to convince yourself and others that we need to just stop talking about gun control. 

     

     

    I tend to agree with this. And as I opined on the old site, gun advocates need to get in on this conversation or they may find themselves without a seat at the negotiating table in the future.

    This might be a good place for dumbfucks like me.  I'd like to use this thread for tips on navigating the site.  Anyone know how to go to first unread post?

    it's the little icon next to the thread name. just to the left. it's a star if you've participated in the thread, and a dot if not
