gee, i've never heard that one before. did you make it up all by yourself?

i've found that accusations of racism are kind of like farts, the one pointing fingers is usually the guilty party.

You, mind friend, are PROJECTING. YOU are reducing Obama's identity solely to his race...not us. I think you should take a deeper look inside yourself and your attitudes towards race.

I am as open-minded and welcoming as they come (which is good, because I'm a professional therapist). I think you will find that this site has a higher ratio of open-minded:closed-minded persons than most other online forums.

Your a therapist no kiddidng? I had some bad ones when I was a kid in the early 90's, putting me on all kinds of drugs that really hurt me mentally I think. Once I quit the meds I got a new guy about 8 years ago that just talked with me.......got me through some hard shit....made me a better person. No meds, he sent me on a Skinner Brothers mountain climbing thing, in Montana, in the middle of nowhere, in the Mountains. It was amazing. Never forget it.

I rarely prescribe meds. Most of my med patients are kids with autism or bipolar. I push therapy, whether it's intense family-based or less intense outpatient. Some therapists are better than others at figuring out the best way to utilize therapy for each individual client; and some just give out meds to collect the paychecks. Sounds like you got what you need though

I for sure I got what I needed, the good guys like you should make as much as surgeons as far as I'm concerned.....maybe saved my life looking back.

Off topic- Whats up with Autism? Why so many kids now? Is it the next ADD or is there some cause? Maybe something the babyboomers took or got? I find psychology fascinating......loved it in school.

Dutch Pimp, is that photo from the movie "Tremors"? I think it is....that movie is bad ass...time to go to the movie store.

Well, one doesn't go into the mental health field for the money, that's for sure. I work 40 hours a week and can barely cover our mortgage, bills, and student loan payments.

As for autism, the short version (there is a much more complication answer, but I won't go into it) is that our knowledge and awareness of autism is increasing, which is why more kids are diagnosed with it. In the past, kids who should have been diagnosed with autism were grouped together with kids with mental retardation, and "treated" the same. Clinicians realized that autism is not mental retardation, and the needs of a kid with autism are obviously different.

Lead by example. Obama did not win, we did.

After Nobel, what's next for Obama - sainthood?

Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize for one thing - getting elected president in a country that has never had a woman or a person of color as its leader.

I expect an Oscar, a Tony and a Pulitzer will all follow, and all will be equally deserved.

The Nobel is great news for Obama and for America, but is bad news for the Rev. Al, Jesse and me, as the prize committees have now met their quota.

its fuckin hilarious especially after he rejected an audience with the Dalai Lama

seriously i think that Iraqi reporter that threw his shoes at Shrub should have got the Nobel Peace Prize. If you think about it was right after that the Suni and Shia finally came together, had a good laugh at Shrub together, and soon the "Awakening" occured and peace broke out all across Iraq.

Sure what does it matter to you lot if oil goes up a few cents a gallon? We on this side of the pond are being SHAFTED for petrol. over €1.20/litre thats about $6.60/gallon. i think you guys are paying around $2.23 at the moment. it stresses me out when i hear americans complain about the price of gas

no offense or anything man...but ireland is roughly the size of our state of indiana. here are the numbers i got off of yahoo answers:

Ireland : 70,280 sq km (27,140 sq miles)
USA : 9,826,630 sq km (3,794,000 sq miles)

That's quite a big difference. There's a ton of open space here. Hell I know people that have to drive forty miles one way to get to work. If gas was 6.60 a gallon here. We'd be fucked. It sucks that you have to pay that much for gas. The whole gas situation sucks...but when you have to drive as much as we do in unpopulated areas....high gas prices really mess up your finances.

sorry, know this is a little late, but i had to say something.

please elaborate on racist ignorance. i am still trying to figure out how everyone labels obama as black. his mom was WHITE, which, for all intents and purposes makes him WHITE! just like if she was a catholic it would make him the same.

no one ever brought that up. it's the fact that he's a lying moron who got awarded something for what he's supposedly trying to accomplish. let's give it to a fifth grader that's good at math hoping he solves some insane equation in the future.

there is a big difference between rap and hip hop by the way. although they are similar, they are not one and the same. hip hop has a message, usually positive about moving forward and righting wrongs (kinda like how it started). and like all music it goes beyond gender, race, color, creed or religion. it breaks down walls and helps unite people on common grounds.

by the way, obama called kanye a jackass, does that make him a racist?

As I was reading this thread I was thinking to myself " No, you can't get involved in this stupidity..." but...here I am doing so. I find it amusing that when it suits one's purposes, being half- white makes a person" ... for all intents and purposes...white", but those who would judge a person based solely on the color of one's skin tend to argue that much smaller percentages of black blood would make a person black. The amusing thing is that I can't for the life of me see a difference between the two assumptions. I guess I'm the racist. To get a little closer to the point, given the nature of this whole set of forums (why we're here, I thought), Mr. Obama has been singularly unimpressive on the issue of Marijuana and its place in our society. Same old law and order do-si-do bullshit. The libertarians are the only ones with any principles at all.

damn straight.

__________________

so don't get involved in this stupidity next time. i'm merely going by govt classification purposes. i could care about half white or half black or whatever. it just cracks me up for people running around saying we have a black president. you know, all the black people. the same one's who are now complaining about the facts that obama has done nothing for "them". as a matter of fact he hasn't done anything said he would do and mostly re-nigged on those promises of "change". you can label me racist or whatever you want. i've been called worse. i just moved out of the hood though. i've seen it first hand. not of non-existent "news" program reports.

it's also funny that this is only applicable when it's a "black" man in office. how many black people complained about oh, let's say the 43 presidents that came before barry soetoro? yeah, thought so. so it can't be racist one way and not the other. and since we are on the subject, can someone removed jimmy carter from barry's dick?!?! he's the first one to call racism. what the fuck ever. like america didn't know this would happen. the first minority elected was bound to have a rough time. if it was a woman we'd all be sexist. the next minority elected is going to have a much worse time. especially if barry can't right the ship. or produce a birth certificate for that matter.
(we won't touch the fact that he's possibly not a citizen of this country. there are ongoing court battles for that.)

so labeling something doesn't suit my purpose. we all know obama is full of shit and won't do anything for mj. this thread was started to show what a joke it was that he received a NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. and for what? something he's trying to accomplish. i'm trying to grow amazing bud. perhaps i should win one for horticulture?
