Something mentioned on the Alex Jones show last night, drugs.
Nothing much was said about illegal drug though they did get a mention, it was more about prescription medication and over the counter stuff.
Now every time I see a film where someone goes into the medicine cabinet in America, there's a massive range of drugs, either prescription or over the counter it doesn't matter... there's a lot of them.
One of the topics he goes on about regularly are that kids get prescribed valium, and kids at young ages too, as young as 3, 4, or 5 getting hardcore mental health drugs. It seems that if a child behaves like a child they get given these medications.
I guess if you combine these drugs with violent games or movies then you could be creating a recipe for disaster.
But one thing that I thought of: if you have been to Canada or America and watch TV for any amount of time, you'll notice adverts for over the counter medications, and half of the advert is advising you of the side effects.
So I guess my point is that maybe America is over medicating and creating these kinds of problems?
