@izzythepush,
Quote:I don't think he was trying to help Spades when he brought up his seeing a psychiatrist, he was doing it to put pressure on Spades to conform. To think in the same way as RL, for he is Reasoning Logic after all, he must be right, everything he says is so reasoned and logical.
Considering the amount of psychobabble RL throws out it was hardly a revelation that he'd seen a psychiatrist, he just confirmed what was obvious anyway. Let's not forget he's an American, a country with 20% of the world's population that consumes 80% of the world's painkillers. They go into psychotherapy all the time for any old gripe, and then they think that gives them the right to pontificate on how the rest of us should follow suit. Not only that they start spouting psychobabble, because after such a profound moment of self awareness they 'know' the truth.

Prescription drugs are the drug of choice here in America and pharmaceutical companies are able to make huge profits when they have an entire nation hooked on drugs.
And Izzy, Logic is right here...There are many people out there (I think you know what I mean, without me saying it) Who are a lot more interested in putting coin in their pockets, then actually spending the money, and finding cures for people...To cure them...They are using ban-aids...Rather then actually looking to stop the bleeding...Because Most pain-killers, are publicly traded cooperation's...
That is why that number is alarming, and staggering...
There are people out there, with fucked up agendas, and looking to pull from peoples pockets, rather then actually help them, and cure them...
But I do not think it is God related...That is a grab, at best...It has no relevance to me...Since we allow people to have freedom of religion, and even irreligious...So that 80% includes everyone...
I do not believe more people who believe in God, take painkillers than anyone else, here...And if they do, it is only because, there are more religious, as a whole, than not...
There are a lot who are hooked on painkillers...And it is of every kind of breed...
And it is for different reasons...
Such as being lied to, and taken advantage of...
But, if what you are saying, is true, and Logic is saying, I need to see a shrink, because he has, I agree with you...100%
