Great thing, because depression is a terrible condition that are not observed and in some cases lead to real desasters....))) Spending more time outdours, paying more attention to relationships, practicing sports regularly and trying to spend less time in front of a computer and in the Internet are among possible solutions......

well, it seems to me if our human bodies come with cannabanoid receptors... and they do) then there must be a reason. Medical marijuana definitely has its place. I have personally seen very ill people who when they are on their "regular" medications: Oxycontins, Morphine patches, high doses of hydrocordone, are pretty pain free, but they are also nodding off wherever they are. They cant drive and they cant function, but they get pain releif.
I have seen these same people off of their prescription meds, after they have ingested medical marijuana. They are calm, smiling, their pain is significantly less and they are able to function almost normally. A great majority of medical marijuana users are not "smoking joints and getting high" a lot of them use vaporizers to ingest the marijuana, so they get the medicine but not the smoke to their luungs. Tinctures are made, topical ointments, and many, many food products are made with medical marijuana in them. Here in Washington State the legislative body assigned the task of how much marijuana could be considered a reasonable monthly amount for patients to the Department of Health. They have had various workshops, etc. here in Washington State and sent the preliminary report to Governor Gregoire. She is noe asking for input from law enforcement which shows she is indecisive and is unsure of what she is supposed to be doing. The governor should and did get reports through the department of health, which was asked for. Asking for input from law enforcement is ludacris, my Doctor doesn't have to check with the cops to prescribe me something, or have them looking over his shoulder trying to decide how much I should have with any other medication. This governor doesnt have the courage of her own convictions and she is not listening to what the people of Washington voted for. She signed the bill herself for goodness sake! Governor Gregoire will be voted out and hopefully we get a new govewrnor who has some real courage to go to bat for patients who are terminally ill.

This is ridiculous!! giving antidepressants to small children... and babies... there are so many complications that can arise from this... and what kind of nervous system will these kids have when they grow old??? i am against antidepressants in adults, because all they do is fight with the so-called "symptoms" and just for a short time... the main cause is the one to be changed here, not its consequences - that is the way of thinking of people in depression, their way of living and so on... if you don't change this, you'll have to take pills all your life and they won't help you... but most of all, giving them to babies and children... i totally disagree with it...

However some science has shown the contrary result. Swearing is a negative behavior. Negative behavior is contagious and addictive, says collaboration and leadership effectiveness expert Goleman et al (2002). Negativity creates friction, stress, and conflict with those people who do not wish to be negative (or swear-along). This is contrary to positive collaboration rules and will result likely in an incline of productivity.

There is surely some form of verbal outlet that may boost some energy and moral among alike thinking personnel. But I am not hopefully letting my mouth go wild without restraints.

thanks for your interesting controversial thoughts.

UFO is actually a very interesting topic, I mean, everything people see, could just be some kind of illusion or newest US aircraft developments... it could have any explanation, and every explanation could be as logical as stiting that it certainly was an UFO... but as they said in the CONTACT with Jodie Foster, "if we were alone in the Universe, it would terrible waste of space" (something like that, cant't recall exactly the expression)
