Here in the states I feel like most most people are over medicated. I dont want to take any drugs ever and refuse to get flu shots and I dont get the flu anymore than someone that had the shots. I take Vitamins and eat right to combat illness.
My fiance had to pick up an anti biotic one time from a pharmacy and the line of people to pick up drugs on a Sat. was insane to me. I started thinking this is exactly what the drug companies want. Every person on multiple drugs some to cure just side effects from the other drugs they take.
I hear commercials on the radio for a drug that is supposed to help you feel less tired if you work a night shift and one of the side effects is trouble sleeping WTF
I agree with some of the comments in this thread about children now growing up on medication than as adults wanting some kind of drug for every little thing.
Also one issue somewhat related is I'm seeing kids 4 and 5 years old now wanting to use hand sanitazer. When I was a kid I rolled around in the dirt stuff little kids are supposed to do. Kids need germs it builds the immune system and now in this culture people are scared of germs and it causes kids to be sicker as adults and creates super bugs that are immune to sanitizers and antibiotics. The stuff kills 99.9 % of germs that .1% lives on and grows and and becomes a super bug.
I think in general society now not just this debate people are more scared of stuff then they ever were in the past. Probably because of the media which IMO causes people to want guns to protect themselves from perceived threats and drugs because docs say it will make them feel better and sanitizer to kill all germs that might make you sick.
Good Thread
