Participant[quote=davelj] My personal assumption is that some “thing” beyond what our simple minds can fathom created our universe and we’re an observed experiment. [/quote]
I agree, I think we are being observed; or at least occasionally checked on/surveyed.
Maybe like a fish bowl.
Occasionally abducted for experiments.

We got so close to actually getting to the real issue which is mental health problems and treatments. [/quote]
At a very fundamental level, I think an ever encroaching “culture of death” is conditioning the masses that life has little value or deserves dignity.
I think the “life is cheap” mindset has served the US gov’t quite well; a NWO gov’t primarily interested in American style Colonialism.
Some of the tools used:
1. Video games (where people get shot and quickly re-spawn)
2. Endless wars
3. War on Drugs
4. The drugging of American kids
5. Drugs in our water supply
6. Fluoride in water (proven to lower IQ)
7. Violent Movies – Entertainment – Tarantino Styleand on and on…
We’ve managed to create a horrible world. Humans are wicked.
I send my kids to Sunday school where they are taught solid values, and then I am essentially forced to send them off to:
Monday School
Tuesday School
Wednesday School
Thursday School
Friday SchoolWhere they are then conditioned and brainwashed by a NWO gov’t and essentially told everything they learned in Sunday School was wrong.

December 18, 2012 at 12:08 AM in reply to: Quantitative Easing Benefits the Super-Elite … And Hurts the Little Guy and the American Economy #756535ParticipantOf this I am certain: The Jerry Brown’s of the world – and his minions – believe those of us who work in the private sector are nothing but garbage.
I think that attitude has surfaced on these forums as well.
ParticipantMrs. Lanza was preparing for some fantasy doomsday collapse, but the doom was in her own house.
ParticipantOne very disturbing case I didn’t forget, but for some reason chose not to mention was the October 2010 shooting at Kelly Elementary School.
The sicko TOTAL POS got 189 years, he should have been hung IMO.
ParticipantWhen psychiatrist Gertrudis Agcaoili retired last year from a state mental hospital in Napa, California, she took with her a $608,821 check for unused leave banked in a career that spanned three decades.
She wasn’t alone. More than 111,000 people who left jobs as employees of the 12 most populous U.S. states collected $711 million last year for unused vacation and other paid time off, according to payroll data on 1.4 million public workers compiled by Bloomberg.
California employees accounted for 39 percent of that total. Since 2005, the state’s workers collected $1.4 billion for accumulated leave, calculated at their last pay rate, regardless of when the time was accrued. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie calls such payments “boat checks” because they can be large enough to buy yachts.
Managers and employees throughout California government routinely ignore a rule limiting accrued time off to 640 hours, or 16 weeks. The accumulation of vacation hours accelerated in California from 2005 through 2010, fueled by a state policy forcing workers to take unpaid time off, or furloughs, before using paid leave.
That requirement helped reduce short-term payroll costs and balance budgets under former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, and current Governor Jerry Brown, a Democrat, while deepening the state’s future obligation.
Unused leave grew to $3.9 billion in 2011 from $1.4 billion in 2003, according to state financial reports, partly because of staff shortages and around-the-clock needs at agencies such as prisons that forced employees to put off vacations.
Since 2005, more than 1,390 full-time California state workers collected “boat checks” that were greater than their annual base pay, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Those workers were paid a total of $141 million, or an average of $101,274.
Of the 100 biggest payments in 2011 in the dozen states, all but 10 went to California state workers. The average payout for the top 100 was $178,267, in addition to regular wages.
Texas doesn’t pay for unused compensatory time or holiday time, and unused sick time is paid only in the case of an employee’s death, to the worker’s estate, said R.J. DeSilva, a spokesman for the state comptroller’s office.
In California, Agcaoili, now 79, cashed out 2,893 hours of annual leave when she retired in August 2011. That meant she had accumulated the equivalent of 72 weeks’ worth of time off.
Her lump-sum payment brought her total wages for the year to $770,870, according to the controller’s office. Since 2005, she had been paid $2.4 million as a state worker. She now receives a $199,000 annual pension, according to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System.
Participant[quote=CA renter] We also need to have a comprehensive plan for dealing with mentally ill people. Putting them out on the streets is not the answer.[/quote]
I agree, the other thing that comes to mind is that not all mentally ill are or will be criminals.
ParticipantNo rise in mass killings, but their impact is huge
By HELEN O’NEILL | Associated Press – 13 hrs agoGrant Duwe, a criminologist with the Minnesota Department of Corrections who has written a history of mass murders in America, said that while mass shootings rose between the 1960s and the 1990s, they actually dropped in the 2000s. And mass killings actually reached their peak in 1929, according to his data. He estimates that there were 32 in the 1980s, 42 in the 1990s and 26 in the first decade of the century.
Chances of being killed in a mass shooting, he says, are probably no greater than being struck by lightning.
ParticipantThe issues surrounding these atrocities are difficult, I was recalling today that the gov’t used a type of tank to incinerate more than 20 children in Waco, Texas in 1993.
ParticipantFrom Morgan Freeman on the Sandy Hook Tragedy
“You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here’s why.
It’s because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single *victim* of Columbine? Disturbed people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he’ll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.
CNN’s article says that if the body count “holds up”, this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer’s face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer’s identity? None that I’ve seen yet. Because they don’t sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you’ve just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.
You can help by forgetting you ever read this man’s name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news.”
Participant[quote=Blogstar]So, is it correct to call it an epidemic at this point in time?[/quote]
I’m no expert, but I think it’s correct – and I haven’t heard that mentioned by the media BTW.
Having said that, most children are hurt by someone they know.
December 13, 2012 at 10:28 PM in reply to: Quantitative Easing Benefits the Super-Elite … And Hurts the Little Guy and the American Economy #756275ParticipantA lot could be said, instead take a look at this expose of a Detroit school:
http://www.businessinsider.com/photos-of-abandoned-detroit-high-school-2012-12#-1
Detroit Decline:
For many areas of the country, I’m afraid these are pictures of the future.
“Our entire economy is a giant mirage. Our prosperity has been purchased by stealing from the future. A few people have been warning that we have completely destroyed our future in the process, but both major political parties just continue to do it and the mainstream media just continues to cheer them on.
At some point this con game will end and this economic mirage will disappear. When that happens, millions of people all over this country are going to become very angry and very desperate.
I hope that you have a plan for what you will do when that happens.”
