I MUST have anger management problems!

I think I could agree with that. I still have some problems with your argument. I know we can both agree that disorders over-diagnosed- that's obvious. I think that your reasons for believing this to be true are not entirely correct. But that's just a difference in opinion, and that doesn't matter here. Also: yes, I have been around real people diagnosed with real disorders. I've met, even had friends that were, Autistic or ADD. In fact, my mother teaches Special Ed. at our elementary school. I wouldn't call her an expert, however she really does know her stuff. So, yes I know what real disorder looks like. Most everyone at some time in their life will experience something that would be associated with a disorder; like depression, distractedness or OCD. It's the way the human mind is set up, it ain't perfect.

Oh what a load of bullocks, everyone and their mother has a 'personality dissorder' in this era, just more bullcrap about bullcrap.

Everyone is different, and yes, some people are 'different' that doesn't mean that they have a dissorder, Jesus its like a license for people to think they are special in some way. Well your not. Everyone has issues and instabilities and everyone gets depression.

Many of my friends have been analysed with 'add' or personality and social disfunctions, what a LOAD OF crap. Yeah, I'm sure they've got ADD and ADHD when they can pay attention for periods of time magnitudes larger than myself; yeah I'm SURE they've got issues because they're SHY.

Its part of the sissy revolution our world is undergoing. Everyone has to be 'analysed' for any little abnormality, scrutinised for any percieved differences, not BECAUSE they are different, but because we want them to feel SPECIAL, like they are somehow 'different' from the rest of us...

NO. YOUR NOT.

This man right here is indeed my hero. Finally someone to agree with me. Autism is an excuse for being socially awkward and ADD and ADHD is just an excuse for bad parenting. I have been saying this for years, and have came across one real autistic kid. He would slam doors randomly and talk to himself, that right there is legit. Sitting in a corner playing with your own hand or something that my friend is just socially awkward.

I happen to think you are (refering more to first poster) half full of crap (maybe?).

YES, I think that just about every kind of disorder imaginable is being handed out willy-nilly (either parents fault or doctors fault or both). But if you honestly don't believe these conditions do not exist then you are the one quite full of crap. I HAVE ADD to name a few bad effects: I get distracted (a lot), I can be a little hyper sometimes or not think things through clearly. I've come a long ways, 85% of the time on my own. I've only used Adderal five times ever and I hate the stuff. Everyone's mind works differently, many have different parallels that get put in a category that we label a "disorder". Simple as that. What the problem is, is that due to bad parenting, what we eat (has more to do with it than you think, imo) and retarded doctors/psychiatrists people are being taken advantage of and being improperly labeled. And that would be my three cents. (I noticed someone didn't like the regular number associated with that phrase)

I've played Drums for about 8 years and I'm good, I guess. I'm pretty good at improv everything, so I guess I'm pretty good.

I also play a little electric bass here and there.

I can growl so-so, I need to grow a little before I sound awesome.

And I am learning to play the Harp, so I can be a Music Thanatologist. Which is probably the most metal job ever. HAHA!

God is more important to me. I do enjoy video games, but I'm pretty sure I'm just an addict of video games. I've tried quitting twice and failed both times. I think that video games signify a defiance, or a resistance, to reality. That's probably why so many people like video games and would also explain the addictive side effects of them. I think that many people don't "enjoy" reality all that much, unless it's living a bohemian life style, so an obvious way out is a drug. A tutor I respect very much has said time and time again that there are "two types of people in this world: philosophers and drug addicts". I think he's right. Here's the vid where he says that:

Is that tool doing the music for the tv commercial for Frontlines: Fuel of War? Kind of sounds like them. I've only listened to it once, last night. But I'm pretty sure it's tool or some contemporary. Though, this game is about war, so maby not tool...

Anyone know anything? Any insight would be nice.

Thanks
