However, I rarely watch videos posted here as I would rather discuss/converse. I dont expect you to know me but that has been my jam for years. I am more interested in the convo between us all. I dont see it as disrespectful to not watch a bunch of videos on a discussion forum. I figured I could just ask a couple simple questions, I looked forward to your response when I got home. But you know the saying ....the distance between expectation and reality is disappointment. Quite honestly I dont care about any divisive politics about it. I thought I was asking something easy of you. I have quite a bit of info and experience on the subject. However, You are too spicy for me. I will not engage you in the future. Good luck out there.

About 12 years ago, a manager I hired fell on tough emotional times. His pregant wife lost their expected baby. He was one of the smartest guys I have known but that brilliance, a fast mind, brought him a lot of troubles. Like my bro, he was labeled bi-polar. He ended up in the psych unit at UBC. His wife had left him and he was spiralling in a bad way. I was one of the few people that he would calm down for. I would go to see him and he would become relaxed. He trusted me. We had some great talks. One thing he was raging about though was that he was asking the Dr's about ketamine treatment. This was very early on in the research, the UBC doctors had no clue, they were telling him that he didnt know what he was tlkaing about. But he did, he had read soo much about it and could talk to it on a very informed level. I think I told this story online a few years ago. Anyway, I let him down. I pushed back at his ideas and told him K was a street drug and that he didn't know anyrhing compared to the doctors. I have lost touch with him. I saw him once years later, storming down the street with that look in his eyes. He didn't look well. I'm sorry Chris, I was wrong. It hurts me to this day. He was such a lovely friend and I didnt trust him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street drugs can have other things mixed in, you might have saved him from an overdose too. The problem with early research is it needs time to know if people can reproduce results. Lots of promising studies hit the bin when it can't be replicated. Your advice was sound. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't change the past. Can only learn from it. 4 minutes ago, MidKnight Ego said: lol this sounds like a person that has never experienced a bi-polar person in their life. only ME WOULD CALM THEM DOWN... yeah right... somelies right there There's no lol about it. It's not funny. You quoted me wrong too. "I was one of the few people that he would calm down for" I dont know why you have to be so mean to me. I shared something really tough and you show a true example of that disrespect you were so grumpy about after I didnt watch the many videos. Again, we dont have to engage anymore.

"That look in their eye" my god Bi Polar people have a Look eh... im one of the only people that calm them down.. this person wasnt your family, you calmed them down, but couldnt get through to them? how do you know you were the one of the few? is that what someone told you? is that what you told yourself? did you sleep by his side night and day? how did this person fail despite your uber calming effect like you were this superior influence on them... you need to check your superiority complex I have spoken about my brother for years on CDC. There are a few on here on CFF that would vouch for that. He is one of my heros and it has been a struggle for decades. It takes a lot of support and no matter how much expert knowledge we have, it's still hard. One of my sisters is a psychologist. This is a bit of the expert knowledge I refer to. The person you dismiss as a manager I hired was also, as I mentioned, a lovely friend. I dont know what you are doing with all this, or why, but again I am not a liar.

Sadly, we now have Neo Nazis all over the place. It's an important distinction. Not that I'm calling PP a Neo Nazi. I could think of all kinds of other derogatory terms to use but not that one. I'd say calling PP a Nazi is about as valid as Putin calling Zelensky one. Stick to something like ultra right wing douche bag and no one will mind (I promise).

Nothing said here makes him any where near a nazi though.

They're the same person. Poilievre doesn't understand any more than Trudeau how the economy affects the average person as he has never had a job. Never had to pay a bill. Never had to buy groceries. Has had access to a government taxpayer funded expense account and free benefits for 20+ years. They're the exact same person, one is just angrier than the other so tell me, how things will change again. Posted in two threads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you have not noticed CCF has ONE GUY using the term Nazis to describe PP. While I'm already here: Yes, for reasons no one can fully comprehend JT wore black face multiple times. I'm still pissed any time I think of it. Yes, the speaker totally screwed up and invited an Nazi collaborator to Parliament. The whole house applauded him. Then word got out and the speaker resigned in shame. Liberals were understandably embarrassed and Conservatives understandably gloated. Also understandably, Conservatives can't let go and continue to misdescribe the events as though it was a Liberal policy to glorify Nazis. We'll have to see what happens next election won't we? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
