yes
Chester is my loved one who committed suicide

I did Landmark Forum years ago on the recommendation of Rashan, who also went through it. Overall, it was a good opportunity to uncover some emotional cruft and to learn some new tools for living, but it wasn't the overnight cure to all of life's problems.

The tough part was physically being in a windowless conference room for three days. That's no joke. The chairs were giving us back spasms by the end, which we wondered were part of the training itself — some physical discomfort to see if you can detach your mind from the real world. Probably, just cheap chairs.

The cult-like part comes after — when the phone calls start. They want you back. They want you to take more courses, and even to volunteer or take the same weekend seminar again, this time with more insight. I had to tell them off so many times.

Re: Trump opening the floodgates of moronic celebrities running for office...

Kid Rock is leading in a poll for Senate in Michigan. Not just the GOP primary -- he is leading the general election against the current Democratic senator (when you add in "decided" + "leaning").

Kid.

Rock.

I'd pick Kid Rock over Trump for president.

Not in hindsight, but back then.

Keith · 08-01-2017, 05:17 AM

Fist of Rage alone qualifies him.

But that just happens to be a song I played on my stereo to amp up my 2 roommates fighting.

I might be bias. He has better songs, of course.

"This money is me it's everything this money is me something about judging me." And he didn't EVEN get to the fighting part yet!

Keith · 08-01-2017, 05:29 AM

Obviously Bawita and Cowboy double barrel should make him Senator of Everything.

And the music he puts out to follow?! Mama Mia!

You thought Trump tweeted? This guy will literally be dancin'!

Rock.

Does anyone think that Kid Rock could pass a basic 8th grade Civics test?

Fact checking:

Once you have larger population centers clean drinking water is hard to maintain so you need to find an alternative.

Europe came up with beer which kills a lot of the bacteria in the brewing process and Asia came up with boiling water into tea.

In Asia a large % of the population carries genes that mean its harder for their body to deal with alcohol which was fine because they didn't need it. Unrelated but similar is a higher % of lactose intolerance in Asia because they didn't rely on dairy as a key food source.

View Poll Results: Do you have a loved one that has committed suicide?
Yes	9	27.27%
No	24	72.73%
Voters: 33. You may not vote on this poll
