i was planning 2 stay here…its nice 2 talk 2 decent blokes
Good, since it’s not particularly well researched, for example his notion, the franks and charles martell had anything to do with what is today know as france, other than conquering it and the gaules deriving their modern name from them. It wasn’t the wussy gaules that defeated the muslims, but an alliance of franks, langobards, burgundians, saxon and frisians, every single one of them a germanic tribe.
You and I are close to the same age. We hit the beginning of all this. TV as your guardian, computers, cell phones, etc. etc. etc… It surprises me when talking to people how little they read books, or keep up with what’s going on in the world, history, even being able to name the states (in the US), or, no offense to aly j but text messaging lingo as actual grammar:roll:.
Thank you for all the answers guys very precise many of them.
Pdf, I dont think there is need to any link, what I looking is the first impression of the people, not a deep informative post, the first tough is what counts, if you give people time to elaborate the answer probably wont be 100% honest.
Hey, that was fun .
It was, keep coming lads. 
no offence at all
i can c u guys r more educated then the guys that i normally
talk 2
“After years of severe problems, Ritalin works bloody well, within the first twenty four hours, on a child who was previously spiralling drastically downwards before being diagnosed with ADHD by an eminent consultant paediatrician.”
Rising Sun*, parent of a child with an ailment of society to which society contributed neither a cause nor a cure but to which society, including twenty two year old teachers and other experts of vast child-rearing experience, continually contributes unsolicited advice on how it’s all to do with bad parenting, bad diet provided by parents, poor discipline by parents, generally all the parents’ fault to the extent it’s not the poor bloody child’s fault and other helpful and stunningly rational advice such as it being caused by being born in a hospital under the care of a male obstetrician rather than at home in a warm bath with a lesbian midwife (never quite sure if the lezzo should have been in the bath as well) or the misalignment of the stars at birth and endless other hippie shit.
Yet, oddly enough, none of the teachers and other experts could manage the child successfully. So what did they do every time they failed in doing what they said we should be able to do? Call in us hopelessly deficient parents to insist that we useless parents, who were responsible for all the child’s problems, make the child behave at school. :rolleyes:
Fine, said I, how about you come around every night to make sure he eats his greens and I’ll get really interested in making sure he satisfies your demands for his intellectual development by scrawling a map of his street in crayon on butcher’s paper, which I assume will end up in the national art museum. No, said they, our job ends at the school gate. Well, said I, so far as his conduct at school is concerned, so does mine. If you can’t handle him at school and you won’t come to his home to make him do the homework you want, and given all the expert advice you’ve given me on how to handle him, why do you want me to do your job for you when he’s inside the school gates? Not surprisingly, no answer.
These clods blame the parents and, worst of all, the child for their teachers’ and other experts’ continual failures to achieve the results they say the parents should be able to achieve by using the helpful advice on discipline, diet and realigning the stars which has failed in the classroom etc, but which supposedly will work if used at home by parents who actually have a child in their continual care and would rather like to change the child’s behaviour so that home life was occasionally not a daily battlefield.
Walk a mile in my shoes.
I do feel for you and I am watching my boy for symptoms since he’s born. Agree about this “nutriment-diet” hippie crap.

Actually, I think that in many cases there might well be a significant dietary or perhaps wider environmental element in it, but I doubt that it’s the same in all cases. That’s different to hippie crap about brown bread and crystals and wire frame pyramids and so on saving everyone.
Having been despairingly through the conventional and subsequently alternative mills on the dietary and allergy aspects, my impression is that so-called alternative or holistic medically trained doctors and others outside the medical mainstream tend to be zealots who are committed to their particular form of purging (and there is usually a purging of the bad stuff, whatever form it might take) and rehabilitation which have more in common with religious belief and practice than science. The problem is that they assume that their particular mantra, be it wholemeal everything or no 200 preservatives or whatever, cures everything when clearly it doesn’t, although it might help many people. Some will be made worse.
The problem with mainstream doctors is that some are just as much zealots, bound to their medical training and as blindly unreceptive to new ideas as were those who saw more merit in firing canons from the town walls to disperse the medieval miasma rather than accepting the germ theory. Witness the resistance to the bacterial theory of gut ulcers as recently as a couple of decades ago, which produced a Nobel prize.
On clear medical physiological issues, such as a broken leg or gunshot wound, you’d have to be an idiot to go to anyone but a competent doctor in a well equipped hospital. But on less well understood issues such as ADHD and other things which are diagnosed as ADHD or whatever, I think that sensible scientifc enquiry on nutrition is at least as important as investigating genetic aspects, at least until one or the other provides a clear answer.
I went to the Christian Brothers.
They would have been okay, if they weren’t inserting their rods into children. :evil:
P.S. Not me. I’m in the wounded group thinking of suing them for not being molested because we were discriminated against for being too ugly.
I’ll let you work it out!
Surely not all of them?
I went to Jesuits. Thrashing was the norm. Made Junior Soldiers’ training seem like a walk in the park.
