The United States is gaining a reputation around the world for raising
children who go on school shooting rampages. Earlier this year, we had
another one with 16-year-old Jeff Weiss, who went into his school on
an Indian reservation and blew away 10 friends. And guess what? He was
taking the antidepressant Prozac.

Once again we see the link between antidepressants and violent
behavior. I was raising the alarm about this in 1999 following the
Columbine schools shootings. At that time we knew that those students
were on antidepressant drugs, but the rest of the world didn't take
any notice of it. The rest of the world said, "These drugs are
completely safe. They keep these kids happy and in a normal state so
they don't feel depressed." What they actually do, though, is detach
these kids from reality to the point they can go on shooting rampages
and not even have a clue that they're affecting the lives of real
people. It basically transforms the world into a video game that these
kids play out.

Oh, and it's also entirely offtopic. Please trim your bullshit from
alt.religion.scientology. In case you missed the memo that last dozen
times, IT IS NOT WELCOME HERE.

I believe this thread is only here because it's a sci obsession to
trash anti-depressants and other medications. They've never proven
anti-depressants to anything negative other than inwardly violent
suicidal behavior. I myself have taken them before and, although they
made me more depressed, I never felt violent. Your biggest mistake is
assuming that the school shooter didn't have violent tendencies before
he started the medication.

> What America has is a parenting crisis

No, what America has is the right to bare arms. I know of lots of
people, none on anti-depressants, who would be perfectly capable to go
on a killing rampage did they have access to weapons.
It's not the drugs, it's the constitution.
Some of my cousins have been on anti-depressants and none have turned
up to christmas with a baseball bat and a manic glint in their eyes. I
don't believe there is a direct parallel between violence and anti-
depressants.

Where's the peer review and the published medical journal? I don't
give a rat's ass about someone on Youtube claiming to be a doctor.
Show me the facts, not your own conclusions.
