Ok, can we call this over? I really hate fighting, especially since I just came back.
Also, Roan, I'd like to apologize about what's happened in the past. I was an immature brat, and I hope I've matured a little.
Whoa whoa whoa ok I completely missed this.

What?! How on Earth is torturing and killing animals at all a form of therapy?! That's really warped dude, I'm sorry.

Just sayin'.
artie just admitted he enjoys killing animals and evan says he merely knows someone who kills and tortures animals, and yet you call evan the sick one ?
the torturing carp is disgusting, and saying he doesn't mind IS pretty carp, but killing animals is pretty carp too.
..just sayin'
Wait, what? When did Artie admit he enjoyed killing animals? Did I miss something?
EDIT: I just went back and looked and found what you were talking about. Its fairly obvious to me that Artie is being sarcastic and referring to the fact he likes to eat meat, and was trying to insinuate that Evan was a tree hugger.
I know the guy pretty well. I don't think he's going out every day and gutting deer.
haha carp my bad. i didn't pick up on that.
^and evan i don't think anyone is going to say you have matured. sorry

It gave him relief, that's therapy in my book.
Also, I said I hope I have lol I'm fairly sure I haven't. It's only been 3 months

Yeah this is exactly why I said what I said before.
Everyone has something that gives them relief, mine being music, some people's being art, or homework, or playing video games. His happens to be something society deems unacceptable. As warped and carp up as it is, it helped him.
Ok all the things you mentioned like music, art, homework and to a much lesser extent video games, I can see helping someone. Video games are pretty iffy, but I can see someone making a solid argument for them being therapeutic. For myself, writing is therapeutic.
But there's a reason torturing animals is taboo and if anyone finds that therapeutic there is clearly something very wrong upstairs. How on Earth would that help anyone? Like, realistically.

That just doesn't seem like a credible form of therapy.

And that is what I've been trying to get at all along. He is a very carp up person, mentally. He finally has gotten the help needed, and subsequently has stopped killing animals.

going by this logic you are saying you are okay with people murdering other people if you knew it helped them?
Ok, that's great. Congrats to him.
But I'm still concerned with the fact you think that him killing and torturing animals helped him recover in any way, shape or form.

I wouldn't be ok with it. Killing another intelligent being is totally different than ducks, as humans have emotions, families, beliefs, goals in life. If a person needed to kill someone to get relief, they themselves need to killed.

This is a weird conversation. My opinion is that I agree it is messed up. It's like trying to get someone off Heroine by giving them Cocaine instead.
evan maybe a good way to help prevent anxiety is to stop taking hallucinogenics?

For future reference, don't make posts if you don't want members commenting on them. It's really annoying, and basically amounts to you saying, "HEY EVERY ONE READING THIS PUBLIC THREAD!!! This thing happened to me that made me hate an innocent holiday, but I really don't want to talk about it!!! So bugger off!".
How would you feel if you were told that one of your best mate's leukemia has come back and they have 6 months to live then?
there, happy, I told you. Now leave me be.
That's awful and I'm sorry to hear it but I stand by my original comments. 
That's fine, I only had a problem with what Syn said, It bites the big one and I'm finding it a bit difficult for it to actually sink in.
Not to be un-empathetic, or anything, but what exactly about this makes you hate Christmas?
The fact that I've had this kind of bad news now for 3 years running at this time of year.
Kind of makes you think that the holiday is out to get you at that point.
Augh I just finished reading The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. Such a good book but god the ending totally ruined it with a huge cliffhanger.
Seeing as how the book was written in the 1980s I don't think there's going to be a resolution. Fuuuuck.
Wow. I'm gone for one evening and suddenly everyone's killing animals? D:
Interseting/amusing arguments though. XD I'm on at school and the majority of my class is huddled around reading as well.

When did this become about my therapy? I haven't done a hallucinogen in six months, and I've done shrooms and salvia once each. That has nothing to do with
my anxiety. Silas has never done a drug in his life besides take a drag of a cigarette.
=| things are getting iffy.
I can see where Evan is comming from, but I won't go as far as to agree its therapuetic. I think though it is an outlet, a some kind of coping mech., like someone I know who would cut them selves. I was told it was a pain they could be incontrol of. It worked, but only for a short time.
Evan either way we slice it, he is getting help. Thats good. Killing animals makes me sad.
Just sayin'
Yo it totally fn snowed an looks beautiful outside, and i have no school.
ILLLLLLmatic
This weeks Bleach chapter is going to kick so much carp. I was right all along *chuffed face*

This sums it up pretty well.
Torturing living creatures to temporarily cover up your own issues is barbaric, and the fact that it only adds injury to an already serious mental issue makes it even worse.

You do know hallucinogens (As with most drugs) stay in your system for quite a few months, right?
So maybe you should watch what youre saying here.
Also, Killing animals as a means of "Therapy", I'm not being funny, but that is not therapy, that is their excuse for being out of mind in the upstairs region, if you believe what he says about it being theraputic then not only does he need to see a psychiatrist, So do you.
you guys are obtuse. guess i can't be subtle anymore lmao
also dexter owns. just sayin
