Young folks are experiencing the perfect storm.

Glad I wasn’t indoctrinated at school, didn’t have internet to get addicted to porn at a young age, and had to work for what I wanted. Had parents who stayed together, who never exposed me to alcohol, and my mom wasn’t glued to a smartphone when I wasn’t growing up. Never was a daycare either.

Kids today have had most of the above.

Kids today get into all types of trouble at school (probably due to poor upbringing)

Get kicked outta school for being a problematic horse's ass.


Then the only solution is for pillhead scumbillie mama to "homr school" the kid.

Which really is nothing more than mama being high all day, kid sleeping till noon, watching Maury Povich and Jerry Springer till kid's friends get out of school and then go raise hell and smash mailboxes all night.

Yeah, that's home school in Tn, don't know about all the mormon fantasy home school orgasm that gets fawned about on here.

They have it easy.


I never went to no school. I was skinning a team of mules at 4 years of age. Hauling water to the boiler.

There is one common thread here, right? Drugs and obesity are pretty much self inflicted. Go Darwin.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

These kids are acquiring obesity


Language like this isn’t helpful. People are obese because they willingly consume more calories than they need over a period of months to years. It isn’t like they got sneezed on at school and the next day woke up absurdly fat.

I agree with this.


Over-crowding and constant media downers also. What is presented on TV as "normal" isn't, but the masses are encouraged tothink it is.


Look at what most of the Hollywood and TV stars "think", and portray.

I look at it this way, not all pharma things are bad.
I have a couple old rope horses , they get something, I get something and we can rope.
They are not addicted, I am not either.
Neither have we had a " high". I asked Old Shorty the other day, he nickered that he is just happy to be less sore and run! Horses love to run.
I don't know about obesity, drug addiction in young folks, but there is a good side to big " Pharma"
I hope these young folks can find an answer.
It never hurts to have a little chat with your maker.

This is a very real part of the problem. Physicians who promiscuously prescribed pain-killers and the pharmacies who doled them out are highly regulated (or should have been) and should have been individually identified and disciplined.

Instead this wholesale hysteria brought down upon all prescribers including the legit and very conservative caregivers has put the Sword of Damocles over the chair of every prescriber.

Thus, the chronic-pain sufferer, about 10% of which these drugs are the only real answer, are often left wanting.

Another ham-fisted, government, top-down agency and its regulatory power, attempting hand surgery with an axe.

And just another health care problem that was highly politicized. I even recall one report of some so-called numbers of prescription drug overdoses somehow included those that were illicit, street-drug overdose deaths.

I've known a few people that died from pain meds. Both where good productive family people that had a lot going right in their lives before getting injured and starting on pain meds.

I'm worried about a friend that just had back surgery last week. He's a hard worker with 5 kids. I told him to get off the meds as soon as he can, preferably before the stitches come out. I went through hell terrible withdrawls after flushing my pills and going cold turkey a few months after major back surgery. I took them as prescribed and became terribly physically dependent on them and would not wish what I went through after flushing what I had left on anyone.

I've seen it take down some great people. To brand them all as lazy worthless losers that the world would be better off without is complete crap. That description may apply to some or even many, mostly after they're addicted, but definitely not all. Wait until your best friend and hunting partner dies like mine did. Sometimes people just view others the way they really feel about themselves. Just like alcohol it kills good people too.

I feel like my worst addiction is spending time on the campfire. I think I'll sign out and go play with the kids.

Right in line with the Communist playbook....

re write what is normal in American society.... drugs, flood the nation and its resources with illegal immigration of people who have few skills...

the leftist globalists are right on schedule...

remember those in charge of the Globalist movement, want to reduce the planets population by 90%....

they have a lot of drugs to hand out... why kill the public... just give them the tools to do it themselves....the left avoids any blame in it...

Good luck getting help with the apnea.


Appreciate the kind words. I found out about the "in home" versus "in lab" situation right on the front end. The practice I am working with had a cancellation for an "in lab" test the day that I saw the doc. Could have had a test that night. But Insurance required an in-home test, first. Next open schedule for the in-lab was almost 2 months out. Fortunately, I passed (failed?) the in-home test. So, no need to wait 2 months for the lab test.

Next, doctor ordered a BIPAP. However insurance said I have try a CPAP for at least 30 days. And if that fails, THEN they'll authorize a BIPAP. Three weeks in with a CPAP and still struggling with the high pressure exhalation that the BIPAP is supposed to address... Grrrr...

Sorry for the vent...

Not pain meds but when I was going through my second divorce my dr. prescribed Valium, just to get me through the stress.

When I went to fill the script, the pharmacist told me straight up - if you take these as directed (3x/day) you will be addicted within 2 weeks.

I heeded her warning and only took it once a day - just before I got home and had to deal with the crazy biotch.

I'm thankful for that pharmacist.

I should also add that I've had my share of major surgery in my life and been given all the major painkillers. I found I rarely needed them after the first day and even then just once every day or two. Normal Tylenol the rest of the time.

I don't think people realize the kind of time bomb they're carrying with this crap.

What year was that?

We've had massive credential inflation over the last 30 years or so. A high school diploma is probably roughly of equivalent value to being an eighth grade dropout when I graduated in 1986. A high school diploma will hardly get you a job at starbucks any more and I'll bet if you quizzed most baristas they're college grads. If you want to get into the middle class right out of college you've pretty much got to have a master's. What does it cost to get that college degree now? When I was in college in the late '80's tuition was $800 a semester at my state school, I recently looked it up and it's now $7600 a semester.

I'm glad I'm not trying to enter the workforce out of high school now, 30 years of shipping jobs to China and importing H1B visas have taken their toll.
