It's like the difference between taking pain killers for a while because you broke your arm and taking a pain killer daily because you get headaches when you stop.

But what if the painkillers-for-headaches helps you to think straight and get through your day, allowing you to eventually deal with the root cause?

Besides, it's known that a lot of mental disorders, including clinical depression, are the result of chemical imbalances that aren't "strictly under your control". And proper use of those pills isn't to fix it, but to help you get into a state of mind to better deal with it.

Was talking more along the lines of "you just went and developed an addiction and now get headaches as a withdrawal symptom", but eh.
Maybe I'm not the best person to talk on the point of emotional issues, but I grew up watching everyone around me do what I equate to murder, so uh... yeah. Kinda learned to control those early on.

[Tails82]

What, eating things?

How angry do you get over that?

I see. In this case I wholeheartedly agree.

'Equate to murder?' I know it's rude to ask, especially in a public forum forum like this, but I gotta know... what is it that you hold on the same level as the predetermined malicious taking of a life?

I've been vegetarian since I learned where meat comes from.

[Tails82]

What about insects?

The last insect I had any hand in harming was an ant, several years ago, because the thing made its way to scouting out my computer desk.

If you saw a baby burning to death and a puppy burning to death, and you only had one jug of water and could only put on of them out, what would you do?

What if someone offers you a cow fetus sandwich?

That's gotta be the worst phrase ever.

Sharing some DNA means nothing. People are people whether you're related to them or not and shouldn't get a free pass just because of family ties. If they suck, they suck.

My choosing not to eat meat doesn't result in babies catching fire. Not sure where you're going with that. >_>

What? No, I'm just curious what your priorities are. Genuinely eager to learn.
