Fibromyalgia Support Group
You're not alone in your pain. Fibromyalgia is a condition that can be difficult to diagnose and manage. If you're trying to cope with pain throughout your body, sleep problems, general fatigue, or other common fibromyalgia symptoms, you're in the right place. The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
Logical posted this on the depression board and gave me permission to share it with you guys.
I was sent this by a friend.. it made me think
about someone who just said that a mentally ill person isn't the right person to make decisions about other peoples behaviour and welfare.. I disagree.. Florence Nightingale suffered from Bi Polar..
2 Tough Questions:
Question 1:
If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who
were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally ill, and she had
syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?
Read the next question before looking at the response for this one.
Question 2:
It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts.
Here are the facts about the three candidates. Who would you vote for?
Candidate A.
Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologist
He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.
Candidate B.
He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in
colle ge and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.
Candidate C
He is a decorated war hero. He 's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an
occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.
Which of these candidates would be our choice?
Decide first... no peeking, then scroll down for the response.
Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.
And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question:
If you said YES, you just killed Beethoven.
Pretty interesting isn't it? Makes a person think before judging someone.
Wait till you see the end of this note! Keep reading..
Never be afraid to try something new.
Remember:
Amateurs. ..built the ark.
Professionals...built the Titanic
And Finally, can you imagine working for a company that has a little more
than 500 employees and has the following statistics:
* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
* 7 have been arrested for fraud
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
* 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
* 3 have done time for assault
* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
* 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
* 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year...
Can you guess which organization this is?
Give up yet?
It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.
The same group that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to
keep the rest of us in line.

And I don't trust politicians either. too many of them DON'T have my best interests at heart. lol.
The congress runs this country, one man the president cant do shit without congress. Hope you all voted those old congressmen out in your area and shook up the pot, We need new ones. The old ones have done crap and here is where we are today.
As for the others, I wouldn't have chosen C, because I have always contended that a person who has no "issues" is unfit to govern, because IMHO most of us have learned our most important lessons, the ones that really changed our lives and/or our direction, by f**king up.
I probably would have picked A, simply because a leader has no time to sleep in if he/she is doing a good job. But I definitely have issues with people who have never screwed up, as I don't think they can relate well to the rest of us.
