I've celebrated New Years Eve in Germany, and we shot pistols in the middle of the village street, no one cared. Try that in any New England town and you will be in jail within an hour. Many German families have guns, especially in the country, just like here. Contrast that with New Hampshire, where my friend got arrested once at 16 years old for smoking a cigarette. German kids that age drink beer and go to nightclubs. And no one would give a crap about a cigarette.

I meant their more leaning towards servants. They have less freedoms then USA. Some don't even have free speech.
Brits have no privacy and their government watches them everywhere.

Our government, (or any private citizen) can also legally watch you everywhere (in public). We aren't more free than Europeans. Considerably less free in some respects.

I guess sly would rather be miserable indefinitely than get medical help for anxiety and depression, despite the fact that oregon's gun laws can't take his guns away from him for seeking help.

I still can't get over the fact your job REQUIRES you to say good morning to people. F*** that. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. It's my right to hate my coworkers if I want. That's unreasonable. When people say good morning to me, I respond, what's so f***ing great about it? THat usually stops right there...

Depression pills wouldn't even help. I'm not depressed all the time. Highly doubt the pills prevent people from getting sad

Have you ever taken benzos? They work man, I never saw any benefit to medication before that but all they had tried giving me were SSRIs, anti-psychotics, and antihistamines. If people are willing to take it on the street then it works, aint nobody buying Zoloft off a dealer. There is nothing wrong with just experimenting, it's about your quality of life and if they don't work or have intolerable side effects then stop taking them. I use to wake up every day with my heart pounding, the anxiety and paranoia can become all consuming if you allow it to and while medication will not solve all our issues it could improve your life.

Those are very addictive. My brother had to get off of them and actually went through withdraws. And if you drink alcohol with those they can kill you.

I think you have to take a lot of pills and a lot of alcohol and maybe some other medication but yea it gets dangerous at that point. I've taken a therapeutic dose for a while now, I've never taken more than 2 at a time which is only like 1mg(altho I think I could probably use a high dosage at this point) and I try to avoid taking them if I feel like I can get thru the day without it(like if I don't leave the house and have something to occupy my time) I wouldn't be surprised if my body wouldn't like it if I quit taking them but being addicted and semi-quasi-function beats having a panic disorder and not being functional at all. Every other drug either doesn't work or is completely intolerable with the side effects. Everything else makes you fat or a zombie or does nothing at all.

I don't get why it's considered addictive(other than the fact that people can use them recreationally) but antidepressants aren't. If you just quit an antidepressant your body will go crazy like withdrawals too or at least that's what I've been told.

Back in Wisconsin it was somewhat socially acceptable to take a shot or two before stepping out the door to take the edge off, here that's considered a drinking problem. :P I don't drink anymore, I really have no craving for it and that's another thing I think medication has helped with. Like Wellbutrin gets rid of cravings for like everything, including food.

It's all probably frying my brain I guess, probably won't be able to feel anything eventually

i don't know what the alternative is tho

It's common to not be depressed all the time. And pills don't make you not sad or make you happy they just make the bad days less bad and make that anxiety not so intense.

They are not a fix but they can be used as tool to help you get to a place where you dont need them anymore. I was so scared to go on them but knew I had to and was glad I did. I was on them for 4 years and then was in a place where I didn't need that help anymore.

I have clinical depression so I still experience depressive episodes but I have learnt how to deal with it now although sometimes I do have to go back on to tablets.

I highly doubt they would take your guns because you are on tablets, if anything it shows you are taking steps to prevent dangers to yourself or others.

Your opinion is based on the fact that you've travelled to Europe and interacted with Europeans - I've also noticed you're a well read man, familiar with cultural socio and psychological variation. Opinions like his *usually* come from people who never set foot in Europe, know mostly nothing of our history and culture and believe everything they read on the internet (same way as some equality ignorant Europeans think you're all a bunch of loud obnoxious idiots :twisted: ).

It's understandable to a point, I used to wildly generalise before travelling and living abroad. A lot of stereotypes, particularly negative ones, come from lack of knowledge and a "deeper" (beyond the surface and appearances) understanding of things and people.

I believe if one works 6 hours you get two 15 min breaks, but no lunch.

If you work 8 hours then it is a 30 min lunch and 2 breaks.

It depends on the state.

In NY State, if one works six hours, it is required that one be allowed to take a 30-minute lunch.
