Gavin DeGraw-Medicate the Kids

[codepink4]

Meant of not if.

[codepink4]

This reminds me if Animal Farm. It's a book I had to read for English class.

[FitnessMasterpiece]

That bitchass medication literally put my body in muscular dystrophy mode after taking it for a while...that experience led me to be the fitness masterpiece i am today!!

[scarred880]

This problem is infecting most all the world and I think this type of S*&^ needs to stop. For more info, check out Citizens Commission on Human Rights - they will give you an idea on what's happening around us with the mass drugging of the population.

[Buzztown101]

Anybody see that Louis Theroux documentary last night about American kids being fed drugs to control their behaviour?

Is it mainly an American thing?

Good song by the way.

[Buzztown101]

Just want to add that the Louis Theroux documentary was shown in the UK.

[mygalmo]

@Buzztown101 It's ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING but also happening in other places such as Australia. I'm not sure who's got it worse Australia or the USA. The gov't. in the US doesn't give a damn about it's so called 'war against drugs' ... not when they're allowing children to be drugged like this now infants as well to "prevent" the possibility of mental disorders in the future. That's just effed up!!! It's the new era of social reform!!! But hey...only in America eh!!!

[austenfan1160]

@mygalmo if people would only start thinking for themselves instead of just believing whatever garbage the government has to say..they are not looking out for anyone's best interest.

[mygalmo]

@austenfan1160 Just did a study on resocialization (it's a term used for various forms of confinement, primarily inmates and psych patients) here's an excerpt #1 A final type of socialization, experienced by more than 2 million people in the United States at any one time, involves being confined—often against their will—in prisons or mental hospitals. This is "total institution" - a setting in which people are isolated from the rest of society and controlled by an administrative staff

[mygalmo]

@austenfan1160 Excerpt #2 . . . "The purpose of such rigid routines is resocialization, radically changing an inmate’s personality by carefully controlling the environment. Prisons and mental hospitals physically isolate inmates behind fences, barred windows, and locked doors and control their access to the telephone, computers, mail, and visitors. The institution becomes their entire world, making it easier for the staff to bring about personality change—or at least obedience—in the inmate."

[mygalmo]

@austenfan1160 and last #3 "The staff subjects new inmates to “mortifications of self,” which can include searches, medical examinations, head shaving, [drugging] fingerprinting, and assignment of a serial number. Once inside the walls, individuals also give up their privacy as guards or staff routinely inspect their living quarters. What this basically sums down to is a very monstrous AMERICA that we have become! What's worse? Our own gov't. allows a similar repeat to the holocaust.

[kelly1815]

"You are making a kid take a pill every day even when he's not doing anything wrong! [The song's] based on the 1980's Nancy Reagan drug campaign 'Just Say No to Drugs': now, a generation later, [those parents] just put their kid on medication. It's perfectly ironic. I try to find the irony in things."

[kelly1815]

I found this quote by Gavin saying what this is about:

"It's about giving kids prescription drugs so they obey, because either a) the shit you are teaching them isn't that interesting; or

b) you're not a very good parent who can be bothered with discipline,"

[twonkiegiraffinator]

he was incredible.

[eurdidiessia]
