Question by Hello™: What song should I use for this short film?
I have to make a short film for school about “teenage substance abuse”. It’s a fictional movie where a guy overdoses and I need a song that either sounds really sad, or has lyrics slightly relevant to the topic.

Answer by GOD
The Verve – Drugs Don’t Work!

All this talk of getting old
It’s getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I’m comin’ down

And I hope you’re thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don’t work
They just make you worse
But I know I’ll see your face again

Now the drugs don’t work
They just make you worse
But I know I’ll see your face again

Question by chocolate: Do you think that this person gave me constructive criticism or destructive criticism?
So I joined a church one day and from the outset, a guy there kept on giving me criticism. He went behind my back to get a friend to post on their website that I had to “change clothes, do my hair, wear better makeup, lose weight”. None of this has ever been said straight to my face, which I take as offensive because if a person was sincere, this person should risk losing face on front of me by saying it to my face and take responsibility for their words. The church members wanted me to go out with him, even though I did not like him very much but b ecause I was suffering from severe depression I desperately wanted to have a companion and not be lonely. I went out with him as a friend, but afterwards, he told the ENTIRE youth group what had happened. Even the church deacon called me up and said, “I am going to teach you how to act accordingly and properly” (I was like, WTF, I never said ANYTHING that was offensive). The church deacon told me that I had to quit talking politics or intellectual topics with the boy, that he was “expecting something from me” even though he wasn’t saying anything, and that I had to learn to “help people and give to them”. I was pissed at the fact that this deacon was trying to mother me in some way and meddle in my personal privacy, and got pissed still more at th efact that the guy was a blabbermouth who wasn’t really that hot at all but he had to share everything that was going on between him and me. I checked his friend’s website, and his website directed statements at me, saying that I had to “be more feminine, less stubborn, be less assertive, and that I should not be too intelligent as a woman”.

FCC Votes to Begin Crafting `Net Neutrality’ Rules

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal regulators took an important step Thursday toward prohibiting broadband providers from favoring or discriminating against certain kinds of Internet traffic.

Despite the concerns of telecommunications companies and the agency’s two Republicans, the Federal Communications Commission voted to begin writing so-called “network neutrality” regulations. Proponents say the rules would prevent phone and cable companies from abusing their control over the market for broadband access.

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said regulations are needed to ensure that broadband subscribers can access all legal Web sites and services, including Internet calling applications and video sites that compete with the broadband companies’ core businesses.

doctor.” “Don’t do that,” volunteered his friend, “there’s a new computer at the drugstore that can diagnose any problem quicker and cheaper than a doctor. All you have to do is put in a urine sample, deposit $ 10, then the computer will give you your diagnosis and plan of treatment.”
The man figured he had nothing to lose, so he took a sample of urine down to the drugstore. Finding the machine, he poured in the urine and deposited $ 10. The machine began to buzz and various lights flashed on and off. After a short pause, a slip of paper popped out on which was printed:

Question by : In Oregon heard of Serenity Lane drug&alcohol rehab issueing scholarship/grant for outpatient financial aid?
My husbands insurance did not pay like they said. Now we owe another 1500.00. I heard Serenity Lane has a scholarship program but they only sent us finance papers for payments when I requested an application for aide. I am thinking its a word of mouth rumor with no actual facts.
Does anybody know of such aide actually being granted?
We trusted SL when they told us what our insurance would cover, but then the insurance said that “SL Outpatient Program” falls under “Inpatient” according to their underwriting. So now there is a huge deductible to be paid by us. I read the entire insurance policy handbook and no where is anything stated about “Outpatient Group” falling under “Inpatient” but that’s what they’re saying and SL admits it shouldn’t go this way however, they want money. Husband has been on work restrictions since 6wk after starting rehab because of disability issue and only gets 4hr of work daily. With MAJOR medical bills every month we submitted application to SL Billing Office but it was denied with statement saying we didn’t offer a payment plan! Well, dickens. I called and ask for scholarship/grant application not payment plan paperwork. We aren’t going to be able to squeeze for much longer. We are quickly getting behind. Any info on appealing insurance or getting SL to discount bill would help me. I am out of options and research ideas.

Marijuana Maintenance: Cannabis for Alcohol Dependence – You might be saying to yourself, why do we need to use medical marijuana for alcohol dependence–can’t we just send everybody to a 12 step program and make them quit completely? The answer to this is a simple no. Although 12 step programs are great for the people that they work for, the simple fact is that 12 step programs fail to help the majority of people with alcohol problems. According to the National Institute On Alcohol Abuse And Alcoholism, only one out of every fourteen people with an Alcohol Use Disorder will ever seek treatment for it. And according to Doctor Jeffrey Brandsma and others who have researched the effectiveness of treatment programs, over two thirds of people who enroll in 12 step treatment programs will drop out without finishing them. Twelve step programs are great for the people that they work for, but something else is needed for the majority of problem drinkers who are failed by them. Fortunately, medical marijuana can fill that need for many people suffering from alcohol use disorders. Some people might view the use of medical marijuana to treat alcohol dependence as simply substituting one addiction for another. However, when we view things from a public health perspective, we find that there is a tremendous difference in the impact of alcohol dependence when compared to marijuana use. Severe alcohol withdrawal syndrome is accompanied by seizures, hallucinations, tremors, irregular heartbeat, and spikes in blood pressure. Untreated severe …
