False advertising..."pseudo-physiolo­gy" is more appropriate!

Hey, thanks for the comment. I'd love for clarification on the "pseudo" - what did I get wrong? I've spent years studying this stuff, but I'm easily confused. You'd do me a great favor if you'd show me where I went wrong. What do you suggest I read or study for clarification?

you only have to be 18 to drink in ireland and 16 in spain, so what are you saying 21 is the age in america is thats safer and its wrong here?

[NorthStarCommunity]

Point wasn't whether it was right or wrong,but that there was thought put into the age based on the research about brain development. Who knows, maybe the environment in other parts of the world changes the age that people's brains develop? In the US, the research shows that it is in the 20's. What is the addiction rate in these countries,do you know? Have they done studies in Ireland and Spain? It'd be interesting to see if there are differences between different cultures/countries,etc.

I have worked with people in addictions for quite a few years and this is the best information I have ever seen. Very easy to understand. Thank you so much

...a common misconception - heroin gets you arrested and you OD and sometimes you end up with aids - the dangers of smoking seemed to me and others less hazardous...something we could deal with later. But you're right, and the experts agree and now i do as well. although I don't think I'm retarded (although my children might disagree), I do have a ton to learn! And yes, you're right again - you can absolutely be addicted to the bible! so thanks for your insightful comments. blessings, t

btw, is she saying 'if you only smoke'? wasn't nicotine one of the most addicting drugs out there? one that even ex-heroin addicts didn't manage to put down?

[znubzz188]

what a joke. I expected an informative video on how addiction works in the brain and the first thing she starts to do is to brainwash me with her religion. FUCK THAT!! i know that believe in a higher helpful power is very usefull for addited people, but why the bible?

i want you to agree with me

if gods word is true, this is true... retarded!!

can you be addicted to the bible as well?

the other part of video is quite good btw.
