Stop Ritalin sales

The 80s called and wants their excuses back.

Retired Lt. Col. Oliver North told "Fox News Sunday" that perpetrators of school violence "have been drugged in many cases" and "many of these young boys have been on Ritalin since they were in kindergarten." He also blamed a "culture where violence is commonplace," pointing to TV and movies.

North's comments followed the attack Friday at Santa Fe High School outside Houston that left eight students and two teachers dead. Investigators have given no indication that they believe the 17-year-old suspect, Dimitrios Pagourtzis, used Ritalin, which treats attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or other drugs.

    Pretty sure Ollie was actually doing press tours selling Call of Duty and showed up in the game at one point.

    Is Ritalin still a thing?

    I thought it was all about Adderall and depression medication

    Same, same.


    Not surprising the Obamacare pigeon is out pimping a 'solution' that keeps big pharma propped and sacred.

    As a guy who partied in college, I know first hand that coming down off an all night high of ADD drugs can make you feel very aggressive.

    I never had the desire to be violent, but I do recall doing things like getting banned from Jimmy John's for calling the manager a faggot for raising prices. Dude could have still at least let me buy a sandwich, I was done ranting...but I guess his ego was hurt.

    I remember leaving the shop all pissed, and planning my revenge. My plan was to make a bunch of Jimmy John's accounts, and order a bunch of fake deliveries. Enough to put them out of business. But then the amphetamine hangover wore off, and suddenly those plans didn't seem so important to me.

    Pretty much every juvenile school shooter has been on it or another similar drug. Side effects are known but they keep stuffing them down every fidgety kids throat. Boys have excess energy that effects their attention span. Live with like we did forever and maybe so many won't snap.

    I dont believe any politician bullshit.

    I remember they used to think accutane was dangerous because some senators son killed himself so the senator went on a crusade against accutane. Because it must be the drug that nobody else has a problem with, not his shitty fucking parenting and loser kid.

    Last time I checked losing all your pimples makes you happy not sad you moronic cunt

    Shitty fucking parenting is the single biggest reason for all these shootings. And it's not even close.

    Leaving your guns accessible to children - shitty fucking parenting.

    Letting them play so goddamned many video games their minds warp - shitty fucking parenting.

    Bullies at school - their parents are shitty too - because 9 times out of 10 when they are confronted with their kid's shitty behavior, the parents deny it and fail to do anything about it.

    Threatening to sue the school every time an authority figure tries to do their job - shitty fucking parenting.

    Thats a big one.

    Some pansy ass kid was having a tantrum and wouldnt come out from under a desk back in middle school.

    The teacher tried to pull him out and his mom complained and got the teacher fired.

    I always thought it was ironic that parents want teachers to be their kids babysitter but dont want them to do their job

    Accutane is some nasty ass shit. But I've seen it be very successful in a few adults.

    Most of that is true. That's one unspoken part, the media never blames the parents. But the parents are never around when kids shoot schools up. "Ohi didn't know my son was worshiping the devil in his bedroom with his friends". Da fuq? How do you not know that shit?

    When I got bullied my parents let my brother teach me to fight. The hard way. They told me to toughen up and stop being a fag

    It half worked

    Rules for fighting from my dad were:

    1: Never start a fight, walk away if possible.

    2: If forced to fight WIN and beat the shit out of them.

    Worked for me.
