Four dots would be better(or dare I suggest 5 dots). How do you think?

Truthfully... Can anyone explain to me why Epilepsy is not treated correctly in this country....
Anything more read the book man it took me long enough to find someplace to leave each piece k not that easy my stuff goes down as fast as I put it up.

When I post what I'd like to ask it's removed so I have to be vague very sorry if vagueness bothers you, but you have to understand that in what I'm studying you either wind up dead or a Nobel prize winner without the ability...
Yes N O M you are unable to research we've found you're a worthless scientist so lets move on from there...
Maybe if you did research on what I have posted then maybe you'd get your head out of your *** long enough to take a look and help those who need it...
Then again I hear the question coming...
What's in it for you...
The Truth...
What's the truth worth to you...(it's worth this fine country trying to send me to jail so if any other country would like a scientist that is dying and does have some needs please feel free to let me know. Maybe if it's not Canada my wife will agree to it.)
Can you dispute me with all of your money, projects, everything.
No you can cover it up and say faulty equipment and then go home for the day that's it. Bottom line is I'm right and it seems you have a problem with being wrong and having no innovative solutions. Where no matter what scenario you put in frnt of me I have all the innovative solutions.

To those ragging on epileptics, to me that's like calling some one a member of the mental retardation mafia. Rarely will people say some thing about retardation in this way because along with being incredibly politically incorrect, it shows a narrow minded bias, if not simple hate, stupidity, or all of the above.

I agree that it is rather low for people to say that epileptics are funny.
That being said, perhaps you should not take it so hard. After all, if we go around putting different concepts into two different camps of "you can joke about this" and "you can't joke about this" then freedom of speech is pointless.
Someone pointed out to me recently that the existence of groups like NAMBLA (North American Man-Boy Love Association) is proof that we actually have true freedom of speech. If we view some subjects as sacred, subjects that we can't discuss in a particular manner, then we limit our freedoms.
I wholeheartedly believe that nothing is sacred. I was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome at a young age, and I STILL think it's funny to call it @$$-burgers.
Hehe, I said @$$-burgers.
I might also point out that calling a person names which would be viewed as offensive by those whom such a description actually applies (such as "schizophrenic") falls under the same catagory. I overcame a difficulty with language, motor skills and non-verbal communication entirely on my own. A schozophrenic friend of mine arrived at a point where he no longer pays any attention to the voices in his head, because he knows they're not real. I saw a news segment on TV that showed a girl with down syndrome who lived alone and supported herself by working as a painter (artistic painter.)
People can overcome damn near anything. It's basic human nature. If someone doesn't have limiting factors (such as a down syndrome child who never gets the opportunity to take care of himself, due to the concerns of his or her family) and still chooses to be limited by their disability, then it's their own fault.
I understand that epilepsy is not something that can be controlled, and I won't mock Hawksecho for being epileptic. I understand too, that there are people who -due to their disability- lack what it takes to get over it. There are exceptions to every rule, I know. More than one, usually. But that doesn't change the rule.

I like this non-sacred - alternatively it easily ends up in political correctness and even more stigmatizing. Having that said - being an @$$-burger - empaty is not a word in the dictionary
On the bottom line we have carefully to balance empaty against freedom of speech - no free meals. Humans are so different in their sensitivity and capability of empaty, respectively - so social harmony is constantly at stake.

hey ***-burger dude us schitzophrenic, slash bi-polar disorder, artist types like the old school way of calling (artistic painter) a fine art painter, ifin you don't mind.
And my epileptic friend wasn't very funny at all, he was the serious sort, except when he was drunk.
Short personal story:
One day even before Bruddah Moki (made up pseudonym) told me of his problem he asked to drive my car (my three young sons were along for the ride also) since I didn't really understand epilepsy & why he didn't have a license, because I had known him for at least a year with no episodes, and was feeling generous, I allowed him to drive us to a park where we proceeded to play some b-ball while the keikis played close by. Well BM tripped on his slippah an fell down, then he went into something akin to strong convulsions...
god I got scared, I thought he was dying right in front of me, he had just maybe a week before told me he used to have seizures (i had forgotten already) and that I was to get something into his mouth if that ever happened and to use the slippers or a stick or whatever to be sure the tongue is not severed....(definitely serious) SO Here am I freaking out like mad because i am now in this thing ( his gran mal seizure) and feeling helpless and mad as hell that I am scared as fuc and my kids are running to watch this drama unfold.
I run to Bruddah and try to get the slipper into his mouth, it is foaming...I am so scared! Oh My GOD! I am not sure what to do, I begin to scream "Get me a stick...get me a damn stick guys!" (the teeth appeared to be very tightly clinched) "Guys!!! Hurry UP!" ... I am not good at people being hurt, and if anyone more in control is around I prefer to nearly pass out...that seems to be my thing. Bruddah is writhing on the pavement and I am beginning to cry and wring my hands, "oh god don't let him bite his tongue off...Oh God please!" I believe someone came to say they had called an ambulance...
Someone in a foggy haze gave me some advice like "get something into his mouth" and someone else (i think my oldest son) is like "no...NO! never do that!" I am just losing it...he comes out of it and stands up....he raises his fist to strike me, he does not seem to know who i am... and now I am holding my youngest son who runs in the fence with us...Bruddah is looking like a wild animal all around, a burly strong wild beast...he focuses on me again but appears to be quite mad...he steps toward me...I'm gonna die now if he hits me...
I start to run around the fence Bruddah it's ME! It's me TRACEY! Bruddah what are you doing! He looks wild still and he wants to punch me, right through the fence. Bruddah Its ME your friend Tracey.
I begin to cry. The ambulance arrives and it is their problem now. My friend will be alright and I didn't get knocked out...whew!
At the hospital he says he thought I knocked him out and really couldn't get who I was, during that episode. We get him home, our friendship was never quite the same,(i was scared of episodes to come) sometimes when we hung out...he lived right across from the north side of Kahaluu Beach...right on top of Alii drive, twenty five steps to the sand and twelve more to the water...I liked to visit him round sunset if I could, we'd sit and have a beer or two watching the waves turn pink and gold. He took his medicine religiously after that...said he was tired and had stopped taking it for awhile.
I was mad because I had let that fool drive and he could have driven right off the road with all of us...in a seizure.
I forgave him though...but it wasn't that easy to hang out knowing he might have a seizure and I liked it most when others were there to take charge of the situation...just in case. (i didn't want to get knocked out)
So that is my one story about seizures...epilepsy.
Not too funny. Mostly serious stuff.
Just imagine having this thing, you can't drive really...at any time you may fall down, bite your tongue in half...look like your dying, etc.
Kind of serious. I understand why it would be hard to have. At least they don't have voices telling them to kill themself by drinking that gum of turpentine right there....that's tough too.
BTW I am a "fine artist", who rarely has the money to do my craft, so I don't produce much anymore.
lotsa love Zara...now cool yer jetts!

I forgave him though...but it wasn't that easy to hang out knowing he might have a seizure and I liked it most when others were there to take charge of the situation...just in case. (i didn't want to get knocked out)
So that is my one story about seizures...epilepsy.
Not too funny. Mostly serious stuff.
Just imagine having this thing, you can't drive really...at any time you may fall down, bite your tongue in half...look like your dying, etc.
Kind of serious. I understand why it would be hard to have. At least they don't have voices telling them to kill themself by drinking that gum of turpentine right there....that's tough too.
BTW I am a "fine artist", who rarely has the money to do my craft, so I don't produce much anymore.
lotsa love Zara...now cool yer jetts!
