I have lost all respect for you, buddy.

First you date (and propose to) that whiner Katie Holmes, and then you start running your mouth making blanket statements about how all prescription drugs are bad and that people who take them are weak (paraphrased).

Seriously pissing me off. Seriously taking up way too much time on the news. Seriously digging yourself a hole here, sir. Shuuuuuuut uuuuuuuuup!!!

It's a popular scientologist view though.

Especially when it comes to prescription drugs used to help mental illness.

Just remember Dianetics Junior much better than Krishna.

scientology.. pfft

the word itself is a contradiction

and i do agree that he's trying to attact too much media attention lately, it's gettin old

I get that his belief system and the research he says he's done himself backs up (to him) what he's saying, but the part that annoys me is that bc of the position he is in, he is influential to large audience who may well turn around and adopt that as their own view, minus the belief system and minus the research.
I hate preaching, so of course I'm going to hate preaching that is in oposition of what I believe in. Especially when I think that it's going to make a bunch of sheep think that drugs that assist with mental health issues are bad, and therefore they will develop an even more negative concept of those who need to use drugs to assist in mental health issues. More specifically, I work in public education and have supported students who take rytalin to be able to focus and learn in a regular classroom environment. I don't want people to start thinking that those children, their parents or their doctors and teachers are bad people bc they support rytalin use as a means to get thru the school day so they can learn and have friends. There's already enough stigma around children who have exceptional learning/social needs.

more then that it seems like all his current attention in the media is entirely contrived inorder to A) help him promote his latest movie B) dispel rumours that he is gay.

sidekick · #12 (**permalink**) Jun 27, 05

according to the media every celebrity is gay at some point in their career.

Another basic tenent of Scientology! You have everything figured out, and people who don't follow Scientology are lost sheep.

isn't that the basic tenet of a lot of religions?

Grapes · #15 (**permalink**) Jun 27, 05

Touche, SideJake. Touche.

Prescription drugs are competition to a religion that claims to help people get spiritual help for anxiety, stress, and depression.

case solved. tom's a pawn

^ First time I've ever agreed with you, EVER.
Let's not make this a habit, k? It feels kinda weird.

Grapes · #18 (**permalink**) Jun 27, 05

^ Seconded.

cinist · #19 (**permalink**) Jun 27, 05

i'm shocked grapes, i thought we had similar view points

decypher · #20 (**permalink**) Jun 27, 05

I never watch or read news that involves stars self-infatuated lives. I prefer politics and world events, not this mind numbing crap!

^You have In Touch magazine on your coffee table. It's the only thing I've ever seen you read.
