That's all right, Hillary... all is forgiven as long as you go to confession.
In fact, we're going to have to build dissy his very own private confessional, so he won't always be tying up the other booth!

Again, Tom Cruise is grossing me out. I like this little blurb-

I think it's a riot that as soon as Toothy fired Pat Kingsley, Nicole stepped right in and hired her.

They are one of the most awkward couples I've evah seen. Didn't she say she had a crush on him when she was younger....who wouldn't wanna date a crush?! It's just all kinds of goofy and weird.

Hopefully this link works.

Wow, this is one of the most horrible things I've ever heard of. It sucks that they weren't convicted of anything.

I agree with you and....
I'm gonna be brave and stick my neck out here....I agree with him, to a point. However, there are better ways of getting your point across, if you actually want people to see your point. Being in the medical profession for almost 20 years you tend to see things from that point of view. I DO believe that there are too many kids on Ritalin. My child was hyperactive to a point where the teachers would stack books behind his chair to keep him from rocking (probably from boredom). I was prodded into taking him to a child psychologist who promptly put him on Ritalin. He was now officially inn "the zone"...dilated eyes, blank stares...I couldn't handle it. After three months, I took him off, told them to put him in a smaller class or hire a "special teacher" which is state law here in Texas for a special needs child. He is now a happy, healthy 20 year old having the time of his life going to college in Florida. (Graduating #1 in his class) Did he really need Ritalin? Don't think so! Just more teachers with better pay and exceptional patience. On
the other hand, if Tom had the experience of being in lock down cornered by a true paranoid schizophrenic with no way out, I believe his opinion would change! Been there, done that and happy to say that I survived unscathed. Postpartum depression? Sure there's baby blues. What mom doesn't feel that? How could you not go through that kind of hormonal surge, then depletion, without emotion? Postpartum psychosis...that's a horse of a different color. And I'll ride that one, too! Andrea Yates perfect example. I can't say that I wouldn't have gone from depression to psychosis if you made me live in a bus with all those kids. All they showed on TV was the nice house...not all the stuff that led up to it. If her husband knew, why did he keep crawling on top of her and making all those babies!??!! I could go on with that, but I won't. Antidepressants....Still there! I DO believe that with therapy to address the underlying problem (or a gun to allieviate the someone who's causing it!) is essential. There's room for all of us opinionated people in the world....as long as we express that opinion with R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!! for each other.

Okay, so he was a little too uppity with Matt Lauer. However, you must admit he brings up some good points. Here's a site on the history of psychiatry: http://www.prozactruth.com/psychiatry.htm

No, he doesn't, imo. Matt Lauer is the one who brought up good points by saying that psychiatric drugs do work on some people and that there are too many children on drugs such as ritalin. All Tom Cruise did was spew Scientology talking points and recommend vitamins and exercise in place of any professional treatment. Tom Cruise falters by completely dismissing psychiatry as a whole.

From Popbitch:

On the set of War of the Worlds, Tom Cruise set up a Scientology tent, so members of the cast and crew could 'join' or get information on the religion.

One member of the crew emailed director Steven Spielberg asking where the tents for the Jewish and Catholic religions were. He didn't get a reply.

Is it just me, but I'm really enjoying Tom Cruise's breakdown. I feel we're finally seeing the real Cruise.

I don't care much about the gay-rumour, but his scientology preaching makes me sick. The more the media talks about Cruise & scientology, the more people learn about what it really is!

I'm really enjoying it, too. It's been making me laugh for weeks and anything that does that is ace in my book.

And can I just say to your sig? I think I passed out and just finally came to!
