Damn Your I.E.D.s

I think the idea that "road rage" is a disease is pretty questionable, but I'm not at all surprised to read this:
"Most sufferers in the study had other emotional disorders or drug or alcohol problems and had gotten treatment for them, but only 28 percent had ever received treatment for anger."
What that says is: people who are crazy or wasted are more likely to 'snap' and do really fucked-up shit without regard as to the consequences.

I never would have guessed.

I recently saw a video clip on TV which was shot from a State Trooper's dashboard cam. In it, the cop is telling a woman , "please don't fight me, maam, please don't etc" while she hits him-
she clearly says: "why not? I'm already in trouble"- then she knocks the cop down on the hood and goes for his gun.
He has to shoot her, but mercifully, they didn't show that.

I wonder what her story was?

Here's a clip of Ann Coulter having a psychotic episode ...oops, I meant 'intermittent explosive disorder' or IED. ( No shit- that's what the eggheads are calling it- are they not aware that IED is commonly known as an acronym for 'improvised explosive device' , a term for the homemade bombs used by Iraqis insurgents and other bombers? Ironic, huh?)

The Ann Coulter clip can be pretty instructional - if you suspect that someone you love has a problem with cocaine and/or a dangerous emotional disorder, watch the Coulter clip carefully.
Does your person act like that? Pray they don't.

First, she's even skinnier than she used to be. It's funny - she's an Aryan Nazi with the physique of a Dachau survivor. People who do coke don't eat, but they burn a lot of calories, thus a cocaine habit is a sure-fire ticket to weight loss.
Not recommended.
If you get that bad, I suggest a tapeworm. It's cheaper, it probably won't kill you , and you won't have to hang out with people who repeat themselves really fast when they talk. Even a tapeworm is better company than a coke-head.

Watch as she pushes her hair back. I've seen people accustomed to keeping their long hair from dragging on coke mirrors use this move - the palm gripping the entire head and pushing all the hair back, not brushing aside, but pushing it all back as if she's saying, "snnnft...whew".

She gives a two-minute tirade about her being disallowed to speak and then she calls the interviewer "testy" when he tells her that no one ever said she couldn't speak...this kind of obsessive paranoia is very popular with coke heads and meth users.

Or maybe she's just crazy- I always thought she was half-kidding with her hate schtick, but I never really watched her- just read some stuff she wrote here and there.
I thought she was at least partially satirical (in a really unfunny way) , but after watching her totally meltdown on live TV- the studio audience actually gasps in disbelief at her final outburst- I'm convinced she's gone nuts. Snapped. Lost it. Boing!

Could it be over this?

Coulter registered to vote at her Realtor's address when she bought a $1.8 million Palm Beach home last year. But instead of filing a change of address as a poll worker told her to do, she went ahead and voted in the wrong precinct, the Palm Beach Post reported.

Coulter denied knowingly voting in the wrong district in a Fox News Channel interview Tuesday night, and said she actually lives in New York.

She said the reporters who wrote about the case are "all retarded" and accused Palm Beach officials of having a sexually transmitted disease.



She gets New York and Palm Beach mixed up and calls the reporters who noticed it "retarded"?

Classy broad.

Yeah, she even uses the term "broad" in her book. I don't even know any men who say 'broad'- is it like saying 'dame' or something? Bizarre.

How about crazy bitch ? Can I say that?

I think one reason they need to label "anger" as a disease is so they can sell pills to cure it. The drug companies are backing this designation for sure and probably already have some wonder drug in the pocket for us to start prescribing.

I live with some for whom anger is a real problem. It controls all of our lives in the house and affects our emotional and financial well-being. For him, everything is always someone else's fault (mine, usually, but also sometimes the kids) and if a hole gets punched in a wall or my favorite ceramic is busted to pieces, he feels he justified in his actions. Afterall, I shouldn't have gotten him so mad. Until we can teach people with an anger problem that these emotions and actions are their own responsibilty and not "caused" by others, there will be no "cure".

Labeling anger as a disease will probably only increase the incidence of IED. That is unless we can effectively drug them into submission. Lobotomy may be a choice as well.

Beth, I agree with the meds - like we need more Soma.

I am completely baffled as to that anger.Scared about it. Kinda against the lobotomy idea though...

Susannity said...

lol Allan. Yep, I'd call her a crazy bitch. Interesting coke analysis too - food for thought! hey, I need to lose some weight - where do I get me a tapeworm!? =)

Beth, one of my brothers has an anger issue as well. I totally understand what you mean when you say it affects every aspect of life. Don't know what you will say to trigger it. He's been in jail a few times because of it, but what's weird is he's started to mellow out a bit in the last few years. I don't know what triggered it. Maybe I just don't see it since I don't see him all that often. I remember this guy I dated in high school once lost his temper over something - I can't even remember what it was - and I broke up with him because I had absolutely no tolerance of anger. I really messed him up about it which I feel really bad about because he was self-examining about anger when really it was my sensitivity. He's a published author now and doing well so it wasn't permanent scarring heh.
