@Name of Numbers: No kidding. I thought last night's episode was realistic in that they finally put House on meds. The character clearly needed them, and I was glad to see it acknowledged.
As someone who is functional due to SSRIs, I get so pissed at people like Kirstie Alley who claim that diet, exercise, and Scientology are all I need. If I was diabetic, I would take insulin. If I had epilepsy, I would take anti-seizure meds. I take meds to keep from starving myself to death and/or locking myself in my house. Or worse. SSRIs have given me my life back, and I'm breathtakingly grateful to the small white pill I take every night.
L Ron Hubbard is the WORST science fiction writer ever. Why couldn't they base a religion around Philip K Dick or Frank Herbert novels, you know someone with a little bit of imagination and talent?
Shut your fucking mouth, Kirstie Alley. Without meds I probably would have killed myself by now. Let's see you handle mental illness without anti-depressants and then come talk to me, BITCH.
Yes, Kirstie Alley, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest will give you a better understanding of MEDS & ECT. And lobotomies. In the 70's. And absolutely nothing has changed since then.
Unless ONE FLEW OVER THE COO COO'S NEST is in fact an entirely different movie from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, in which case, apologies in advance.
@vulcanized: I'm sorry, you make a good point but I am going to have to go with KA here due to her CONVINCING use of CAPS LOCK. BIG PHARMA doesn't want you to know the CAPS LOCK truth!!
@Casquivana: Ignorance is exactly what it is. People who rail against antidepressants and psychiatry are rarely the people who have been in a position to have their lives given back to them by antidepressants and psychiatry.
Also, until Scientology and their magic miracle vitamin cure shows up on the $4 prescription list, I politely invite Ms. Alley to shut her damn pie hole. Even if they wanted it, most people couldn't afford her snake oil.
I'm an atheist, but I respect people with religions. I don't respect mindless cult followers who would rather see people stay mentally ill than see them take "MEDS".
Here I was really pleased with last night's House's picture of anti-depressants. It went against the painfully common media portrayal of antidepressants as something evil and emotion-killing that should be avoided, and rather showing them as a tool that can help someone get out of a major depression.
Guess that's why Kirstie Alley's a Scientologist and I take science classes.

I've wanted to bone Eli Roth since he came out of that tunnel swinging a bat, all muscular and sweaty, bashing in Nazi skulls. Is it disturbing that each time he killed someone I was a little bit more attracted to him?
@IBleedGlitter: The High Priestess of Tinsel: I'd add sweaty and hairy to that too. Basically, the more someone resembles a grizzly bear, the likelier I am to be attracted to them.
@LAmonkeygirl: It's large and unattractive and it plugs into the wall, which freaks some people out. But you will never own a more powerful or consistent vibrator (well, unless there's some kind of magic wonder vibrator in the future). You will want to spoon with it when you're done. And you will never want another battery operated vibe again.

I know too much about vibrators. If a body can know too much about vibrators, that is.

In other words, Kirstie - back the fuck off.
