Should we ban GUNS or PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS?

Question

Doesn't it seem to you?...lately more and more people are being killed by guns, like the kid that opened fire at the mall last week and now in Colorado. How can we control this "gun business", who is providing these children these guns?! Who is to blame?! Why have all these shootings done by teenagers that have a history of depression?
Think about it, is antidepressant drugs to blame?

Destrier: thank you, but I don't think you quite understood my question.

Pacer: I am glad you agree with this, I checked your links and I can tell you from personal experience this is so true and everyone should see this!

Soul Doctor: Thank you my friend, the pharmaceutical industry need to be exposed. We need more healers like you, more alternative ways to beat such psychosomatic illnesses.

Butterfly: Thank You Thank You!!!...You make a great point and I totally agree with you teaching our children DISCIPLINE without the physical abuse, RESPECT, you bet!, Love Of G-d is very important, and SELF CONTROL, precisely!

Jink The Fox: you do have a point; same thing happened to marijuana. I'd rather use marijuana (for medicinal purposes) than psych. drugs!.

Joel: 'rediculous oversimplifications?!" please, leave Scientologists alone! I am not a Scientologists and but I'd be more than happy to be their friend!. However, I do agree on #3 paragraph.

Answer 1

First, let's get our priorities in order:

I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan."

1) "The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those "good 'ole' boys", we will never "interfere" again.

2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany , South Korea , the Middle East , and the Philippines . They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.

3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are. They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.

4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.

5) No foreign "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby.

6) The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while

7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)

8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere." They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.

9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.

10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH..learn it...or LEAVE...Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?

"The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses." She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?' "

Students that won't/don't go to school till they're 18 will be assigned into the military, where they can spend the time in the brig, as far as I'm concerned.......

We used to have the most self reliant nation on the face of the Earth, kids today have NO CLUE as to what real life is all about.

BAN OF THE FOLLOWING SHOULD BEGIN IMMEDIATELY:

Cell phones in classrooms, movie theaters, restaurants or any other public place of congregation.
Any type of Computer Gaming system, XBox, Wii, Playstation, etc........they have absolutely NO usefulness.
1 year in jail for talking on the cell phone while driving a 4 ton vehicle down the freeway at 80 mph.....
Anything violent or percieved as violent on television, in movies, etc.
Marriage under the age of 25
Unmarried people cohabitating


Utmost, we need to impeach that Clown that has been sitting in the White House for over 7 years now.......he's not MY president.........Peace, People........

Answer 2

I believe that people kill people, and not guns or drugs. Furthermore, I believe that the problems with our children started from the government taking prayer and corporal punishment out of schools. They also have taken away the right of parents to discipline their children. Therefore, the children, our children are acting like wild animals. If parents could discipline their children without getting arrested and without committing child abuse, the children would not have to take prozac. These doctors are medicating our children with all of these drugs that do not work, when all they need is a switch on their behind. I believe that some things should never change. What was good enough for us as children, is good enough for our children. Every one I know that take these psychiatric drugs all have the same testimony; they do not work. As far as who is providing these guns for our children, whether it be that they are getting these guns from home or from the street, our children are our responsibility and we as parents should take it, and not let our children rear themselves. Discipline, Respect, Love for God and all Humanity, and Self-Control should be instilled in a child from birth. You cannot wait until your child gets three years old and start trying to discipline them. The Bible says that we should train up a child in the way that they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it, and thats what I believe.

Answer 3

Jesus Its not the drugs but the fact that they are mentally unwell. Would you like me to draw you a diagram? So, what is needed is fully funded comprehensive mental health care for all citizens. After that we might consider focusing on how disenfranchised people feel and are. @ Mike who cares about facts?, not you apparently. whilst its true that many such drugs can have such side effects the point of then being prescription only drugs is that the patients response will be monitored by their doctor and should their state of mind worsen, the doctor will alter the medication or take other steps. that being said, not every patient experiences every side effect listed in the literature.

Answer 4

Psychiatric drugs are used to "treat" societal problems. They do not "regulate" the chemistry of the brain, as some doctors attempt to describe. It treats the behavior, not the source of the problem. If you outlawed guns, people would improvise weaponry. What we should do is expose the psychological unhealthiness in American society, citing all of the influences, and calling for greater discretion when prescribing medications that allow us merely to emotionally overextend ourselves even further to keep up.

Answer 5

Everyone in our society should read these links. Since the very early 90’s these psychiatric drugs were suppose to be stop being used so widely. Look at what the military and VA is presently doing to our soldiers and veterans with a very dangerous combination of many dangerous psychiatric drugs at one time; http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/2020/

Answer 6

Yes both should be banned !
But it won't happen as history tells us the Pharmaceutical industry has given us two world wars, that's how powerful they are, so that makes both things inter related. It seems the pharmaceutical industry controls both they don't want us to get cured they are just interested in making money by keeping us sick mentally and physically, and that is what the statistics show. And they speak loads my friend.

Take care and God bless you.

Answer 7

....1) I seriously doubt that the folks involved with Scientology's criticism of modern psychiatric care know of or have experienced first hand the large, centralized, prison-like, institutions used to house and "care" for the schizophrenic and many other mentally ill victims prior to application of most psych meds.....they just are flat ignorant of how many people have been helped to stay out of institutionalization, and their alternative ideas of "good nutrition", "rest", and "morale support" are ridiculous oversimplifications in solving the huge disease entity of mental illness................2) Guns certainly don't cause "killing sprees"...it is the absolute desensitization of our youth towards violence due to constant exposure through TV, Cinema, and destructive action learned through modern video games, and the fact that the finality and total effect of such violence is never felt, taught or expressed..........3) Application of many useful psych drugs in children and adolescents should NOT be a substitute for adequate parenting time and effort which, if truth be known is likely the root of such desperation and terrible acts in the first place..................joz............

Answer 8

Who is to blame? The current belief system in the United States that 'guns are bad' so law abiding citizens are not armed.

A majority of Law abiding armed citizens, thats your answer.

Answer 9

no. I'm ok with ppl having guns and taking pills as long as it doesn't effect me!
