I'm finally finished! I feel so accomplished right now...but I'm sure the feeling will pass.

I'm very delighted to hear this!
Have a miracle happened, no more illness?

Sadly no, the illness is a lifelong commitment I'm afraid. I'm seeing a series of fatigue specialists this month and will be starting a rehabilitation program to help me cope. I've lost ten of my first twenty years to this illness so I very much would love to be able to enjoy life!I'm very delighted to hear this!
Overall, it is a step in the right direction at least!

Hai everyone... ^^
I'm deprived of sleep and slightly hallucinating but otherwise fine.
Just wanted to pop in.
CT: It's fudging cold!
I really need to get a bigger HDD for my 360, or else I'm going to have a ma-hoo-sive pile of USB sticks.

Oh. But I get the impression that you are trying to see things from the bright side, and that is very important. I don't know if I could have handled it as well as you seem to do, probably I could not.
I got this silly thought in my head as I read your post, why don't you inject yourself with the T-virus or something similar. It worked for some! If I had a disease that permanently drained my energy I would have wished for an Umbrella cure.
VeeBeeee! I've missed you hun. :smile:

I'm so going to be a dominatrix while interning in Toronto during April. Going home with three grand over one weekend? Hell ya.

If I did that, I fear that I might smash the keyboard on my laptop!
Everyone wonders if they could handle something as bad as fibromyalgia (my illness) yet you have to consider that coping strategies vary from person to person! Furthermore, I've had this illness for ten years so I've had to learn to cope with it by myself. Chronic illnesses are the easiest to cope with because you learn about the highs and lows associated with them as you go.
If anything, don't wonder if you could cope like I would but rather wonder HOW you would cope with it.
CT: Can Playstation 4 games hurry up and be released, please? Playing FIFA is all well and good, but I've got another seven months of my 'holiday' left!

I hate this. There is no piece of sh!t lower than any human being who could do this to an innocent animal. I don't think throwing scumbags like this in jail FOR LIFE is sufficient enough punishment. Cut their dicks off and let them bleed to death. Gouge out their eyes while we're at it. I pray its very slow and very agonizing.
Stories like this makes me despise humanity. Despise it.

I agree. I love animals and hate people who kill them for pleasure.
Also that type of punishment should apply to people who hurt children.

I feel that in scenarios where dogs are found battered in cages, cats found assaulted and withdrawn and any other form of animal abuse, a certain eye-for-an-eye punishment should be exacted. Stuffed a dog into a cage far too small and beaten it? Force the offender into that cage and beat them. People that harm animals are as pathetic as people get. Animals can't scream that they've had enough, they can't lie that they've been abused; animals are far more trustworthy than any human.
Your idea about physically castrating them I feel should be the punishment for every rapist and pedophile. Chemical castration is still a new concept and doesn't go far enough. A lower sex drive is due to the lack of stimulus in the environment so how do we know that they won't go out and reoffend? I've had enough with how the justice system works around the world; you can rape someone and get away with it if you're male (not the case in every situation, but I'm fed up of the misogynistic legal world) or plead insane. You can assault your wife and get away with it if you're a man (as a barrister (for those not in the know about the UK's legal system, they're the second best lawyers in the country, behind only the Queen/King's Counsel) told my family and I, it's our word against his).
I am completely against public executions (it portrays the assailant as a martyr) but a zero-tolerance stance on murder, rape, domestic abuse, animal abuse and pedophilia is needed.

CT: How can the country grind to a halt over a bit of rain? Everyone becomes melancholy and hostile, the roads become host to the most dangerous individuals and the news portrays the weather as the apocalypse. I love the rain! Sitting indoors when it's raining is the most odd, yet comforting feeling possible. Plus as I found out on a trip through Europe (Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria and Italy in the space of a week and a half), a bit of rain is needed to stop people from collapsing of heat stroke!

This is really the only part I disagree with. I think we SHOULD have public executions. When the public KNOWS the people have lied, cheated, stole, raped, and murdered, then they aren't martyrs. They're monsters. And people...ALL people, should see what's done to monsters. IDK about in the UK, but in the states, when a criminal is executed, they really don't make a big deal about it. I think if it was public, an example is set. People will be afraid to be that...And just like Machiavelli said, it's better to be feared than loved. Look at the Salem Witch Trials. How many women were burned, drowned, and beaten publicly for being Witches. They weren't martyrs. Women were AFRAID to be accused of being witches.

While I disagree with the notion of public displays of executions, I can respect where you're coming from. Here in the UK, no criminal has been executed since 1964/5 due to our abolishment of capital punishment. Therefore, we don't read stories about criminals being executed. I've studied enough US politics to know that the confusion created after the Gregg v. Georgia ruling effectively overhauling Furman v. Georgia would not be a good thing for us here in the UK.
The situation for us is different due to our being in the European Union, a federal government that oversees its member states (think of it as a pseudo-United States). We are governed by EU law that prohibits us from considering the death penalty. Since 1973, we've been bound by its laws and I've grown up with capital punishment as a mere nostalgic memory. My reasoning, an outsider could say, is based on a lack of exposure to the use of the death penalty/public executions thus my reasons are not adequate enough to explain other than the fact that my views have been shaped by my country's political stance on the issue. Don't think that I'm trying to worm away from a civil argument, as I appreciate an argument based on evidence and not one based on malicious intent to fullfil the urge one-up another. I feel that the following analogy would be more apt: To explain to an American what life without the death penalty is like explaining to a blind man the colour red.
I'm not implying that it's impossible to comprehend, but it's an oddity for Americans to consider due to the workings of state v. federal governments.
CT: I was never told that I'll be having a FULL medical at my fatigue clinic meeting on Tuesday. Surely if I'm in the worst of my fatigue, a medical examining my cardiovascular system is far from ideal.

It's actually not hard to comprehend, because some states do not allow the death penalty. It's up to state law to decide. My state does allow it, but we so rarely hear about it happening, that it's like we live without it. I mean, we KNOW it happens. But it's so far in the back of our heads because it's nearly never reported. Never appears on facebook feeds...Never happens in a timely fashion. That's actually the problem I have...Is that it GOES unnoticed. If we in the US are gonna have a death penalty, make it one known enough for people to fear...Or don't do it at all...Non of the half-assed stuff that happens, but no one ever hears about...

I forgot that many states employ it while others don't! I need to do some revision it seems, as I neglected the differences CAUSED by the Gregg and Furman rulings! Dear me, I've not revised enough at all! I can understand your general point of view, and a few years ago I would have gladly called for a change! An intelligent debate, such as the one you provide, is what is needed for an eventual decision in the matter. Sadly, neither of the camps within your country's Congress are willing to provide intelligent commentaries (personally, I believe the filibuster is to blame).

It's funny...I mean...I read the Words "Intelligent" and "Congress" in the same sentence, but I can seem to grasp the meaning. No, in all seriousness you're right. They need to do some serious thinking in our country. I vote we start from the ground up. Replace everyone in office with a 100% new cast.
La Femme Fatale

I wouldn't in anyway object but that's not the root of the problem. You can replace everyone and you'll find the same issues begin to creep up. The problem is that your Congress and the vast majority of politicians are completely bought out. Make it illegal to accept 'donations' from sponsors *coughbisbusinesswallstcough*, put harsh penalties on those who are caught doing so, and Congress would be much more effective.
Money shouldn't be in the political system. It taints democracy.

Well...Sadly politics is expensive...Money needs to be attained some way...And usually it's mutually beneficial for both parties. But you're right...It's so easy for politicians to be bought out as a whole...There has to be some better way of controlling this...
