have you seen the south park episode? its funny as hell... i still don't get what Scientology is, but i can understand why some one would see psychiatric drugs as being a bad thing. personally, i think theres nothnig wrong with giving them to some one if they are really really in pain, but i think they are prescribed way too much. i had a professor who was really against giving strong drugs to really young children, and i kinda don't blame him since thats pretty strong stuff for those little guys! well, hes been on the news for it for it and stuff... but some critics started calling him a Scientologist, and that made me angry because i don't want Scientologists to give people who are concerned about the misuse of drugs to have a bad name

Yeah i disagree with over use of strong drugs as well, especially in kids, but to say that people dont need them at all...well then thats daft...what about people with schizophrenia, or bipolar, or psychotic tendencies?? are these poor people just supposed to be left to get on with it!!?? I think he really has to rethink his message

yes, i think drugs can be very helpful in helping people achieve their goals... because sometimes some one can be in so much pain that they cant even function, and thats bad.

Come on guys, you all know that people who do not suffer from mental illness believe that it doesn't exist. Unfortunaly, they will never understand. They prefer to stand on their so called superior high ground and call us all week. I ignore them.

oops, my spelling gets pretty bad when I'm upset, sorry

actually, quite a few ARE weak- or rather, don't see their own strength

In high school, when Tom Cruise started being so crazy, my friends and I started a "I hate Tom Cruise" group on myspace and it totally has a lot of people in it now...

But there's a funny stop Tom Cruise site that you'd be interested in I bet. They sell tee shirts with witty sayings like "Protect your couch and get the shirt" and other funny stuff.

The really sad thing about the South Park parodies of religion is that they're right on the money. I used to be Mormon and the episode about that is totally true.

LET HIM HAVE IT!!!!!!! HE HAS NEVER BEEN WHERE I'VE BEEN...

Piss on Tom Cruise...he transformed his wife into that of a stepford wife. She creeps me out now. I hope she develops anxiety or BP, then we'll see what he has to say

When I heard he said that, I got really mad.

Medication saved my life after my car accident. I had PTSD and without Paxil, I don't know what I'd have done.

Now, I don't think everything should be medicated and I DO think a lot of things are over-medicated, but for that nut job to say something like that...grrrr.

Yes I am sure he will change his tune with him or Katie get anxiety or depression of some sort. Or better yet, what happens if Suri does and she isn't responding to any of their scientology remedies? Then he will have to contradict everything he had been preaching for years on the unnecessary and danger of meds for people.

Thanks everyone, ihad to just get it off my chest and like many of you are saying what if suri has some form of condition that needs medical attention in the form of drugs, where will he be then???? Not that i would wish anything bad on their little one.....

i think people need to educate themselves before they go spouting off at the mouth like he does. yes he may already be educated by textbooks about drugs and illnesses but he hasnt actually asked families whats it like coping with a loved one when they are off their meds...or how the de-medicated person feels either...he used to be a TOP GUN but now he's just a GOOSE :P

hugs huns i believe in your strengths case you all help me out

He has no idea about the real world!

No I am sure he is getting paid super big bucks from his scientology friends just to say that meds are bad as well. People shouldn't say a word unless they have walked down that path themselves. Just my 2 cents though. I admire Brooke Shields for combating him...
