I've recently got back in touch with an old friend. Not seen him in years. He had a slightly older brother who I was friends with on FB in recent years. This lad had always liked a bit of pot. Not massive, but he liked a smoke. Never caused a problem like.Anyhoo, I make friends with him on FB. Slightly odd as there's the occasional mention of David Icke and lizards and the like. I pay no mind. This carries on though. And it increases in frequency and oddness. By early last year, it was full on conspiracies: government poisoning our water, chemtrails, shadowy organisations behind it all looking to rule us or wipe us out. A few of us tried to reason with him, but he carried on until one day he posted that he had to jack social media in.So I catch up with my mate and ask how his brother's doing. Turned out he had a full on paranoid breakdown and was sectioned. No doubt caused by years of the smoke but he got wrapped in a cycle of reading and studying particular subjects that simply caused the paranoia to grow and pretty much consume him. Glad to say he's out now and on the road to being healthy but he's not been back on FB since, which is no doubt a good thing.Anyway, thought to share. Just popped in my head for some reason.
Apposite, but in order to realise one has a problem one has to; a, hit rock bottom (which a few on here probably have, tbf) and b, acknowledge said problem (not going to happen on here).
At least they haven't yet accused you of making it up!

Spyker all rape is abhorrent and has never been accepted in our society which is why nounces have to be protected in their own wing from general prison population. Of course white people commit rape but I think the extra rage felt when its perpetrated by immigrants/asylum seekers is because as a civilised society we have offered them refuge and this is how we are repaid for our kindness and decency AngryNo it's not - you only react when the usual lying rags report them and the bluewater case rather elegantly illustrates that: Appalling rape happened, it was reported by most newspapers, Express (deliberately?) puts 2+2 together and knowing their easily wound up readership (you lot) it basically makes **** up with hints and half truths even though it would have taken them minutes to clear up and anybody with a little knowledge of crime and police work (with contacts) would know the full story. When it is obvious that there is no asylum/Muslim angle (and therefore no more money ) in the story, it is dropped, job done. What's left is a lot of angry people over nothing but a disgusting rape by white filth as oppose to brown filth - nothing to see here - next made up story please. It's even better if every now and then a story turns up that backs up all the assumptions as eventually there will be as shock, horror some Muslims really are rather unpleasant - much the same as errr every other bloody human!BTW google 'gang rape germany ww2' and you might find some interesting articles on how 'civilised' we are........
Completely correct, spyker.
It just fuels the non-stop, agenda driven, hate-filled garbage which has taken this forum so much by storm.
