GOP Rep Erin Houchin pushes addiction reform

[BobbyFK]

She claims it was brought on by medication to treat his Parkinson's disease diagnosis. I find that hard to believe.

In America today youre either altered or non altered, and it's by choice.

Alcohol alters you
Opiods altered you
Prozac alters you
Weed alters you
Gambling alters you
Pumping iron alters you

If we just drank water and ate meat like we did in the 1800s we'd have none of this physcosis. It's all set inflicted dispare and the remedy is worse than the problem.

non loving mommy alters you

What the fukk are you ranting about now Bawby?

Exactly what do you find hard to believe and tell us why what you are saying is credible. Please, educate us on Parkinson's medication.

Because it comes up in my research, a lot. In fact it there's a correlation between Parkinson's medications and pathological gambling problems. Did you know that?

So go ahead, Bawby, enlighten us.

I'm seriolus here @BobbyFK I'm not just busting your balls.

You made the thread, you have an opinion on it, so I was hoping you had some background to draw from, whether addiction or parkinson's or whatever, that could contribute to this topic.

Which, again, is something that comes across my desk when I analyze the sources of negative gambling behavior and habits.

So, do you have any knowledge to drop here, or what?

 

[Archie]

since the meds work on the dopaminergic systems of course you can see dysregulation issues and increase in potential addictions

No personal background as far as gambling addiction is concerned

So then WTF are you talking about when you say this...

I swear if you give some dumbass answer I'll do something, not sure what, but shit, something.

 

[KVB]

Yeah, the dopamine agonist brings a few different types of impulse control issues.

Disorders like excessive or out of control gambling, shopping, and eating can all can be brought on with those drugs.

Stop taking the drugs, and the behaviors often reverse.

It just doesn’t sound reasonable to me that a drug like that can cause gambling addiction

 

[KVB]

It's not just parkinson's either.

I think some of those drugs have been popular for restless leg syndrome too.

Based on what? That's what I'm asking you. Can you even answer?

Does it all sound reasonable that you have no idea how a drug like this, or any for that matter, even works or about Parkinson's, addiction (you don't even know you have one with food, that's how little you know about it), or behaviors like this and therefore does it sound reasonable that you really shouldn't even have an opinion here?

Does that sound reasonable?

You’re correct that I have no personal experience with it, but I was just giving my opinion

 

[KVB]

And, again, I'm asking you.

What the fukk is your opinion based on?

It's like you can't comprehend what you're reading or are too stupid to form an answer. I'm not sure which. Gawd even just trying converese with you is tiring.

No wonder your wife hates you.

So what's your opinion based on?

I believe that the more uber rides a person gets paid for, the higher their appetite for dick eating grows
