Also, DesktopHippie, You don't feel as if maybe you're a little bit weaker for having taken the drugs to solve your problem? Like, if you ever have those problems again, because you haven't learned to cope with them by yourself, that you'll be a little dependent on an anti-depressent?

Okay, so here's a small peeve of mine. Please take no offense ladies as I am but a man and occasionally know not what I do.

So most women, regardless of age and society, that I have been graced enough to communicate with do this thing.
Talking about folks of which I have no idea who they are.
"So Suzy kicked Bill square in the junk. He fell like a ton of bricks right into a pile of Sam's dog Fuzzy's crap. You know, the Pomeranian she got from Ted's sister Mabel, (whispers), the one with the crooked eye. So he went to Doctor Sham's and was told he actually had three testicles. I wondered why Helen called him Thrice,"

Okay, so the story is quite funny. Or, at least to my childish mind. But who the Fudge are these people?

Okay, rant done (for now). Just wondering why some women are inclined to do this.

Chris- well I'd certainly be concerned if I were in your family as you seem unable to find a topic other than death, pain, or weakness that holds your attention. That's not really a sign of a healthy mind.
And if I understand you correctly you believe that we should return to a time period when severe physical abuse was not illegal because the resultant aggression was more normal for the human race? And that history bears this out because of wars? If that is what you said it's a bit odd as each civilization as it develops, tends to develop away from physical violence.Warfare was neither common place nor a way of life from most people during most time periods. Violence has, in general been contained to small groups ( millitary usually)
If you are referring to child abuse, historically it has never been common place and has been confined to those sadistic individuals who can only gain gratification by abusing those they are physically stronger than. In fact Henry the 8th once had a cortier beheaded when he witnessed the courtier abusing his wife and children( the courtier's wife)and condemned it as an act of a madman.
