I wouldn't go as far as Andy Dalton.

Shit, I've done both of those things. Was your probation overly strict much more strict than average because of the severity of your crime?

I'm in school for EMS certification right now.

According to my instructor, something like 8% of fire department calls involve literal fire. There used to be tension about "firemen are here to fight fires, those are jobs for EMT's." However, everyone eventually realized that just fire response means a lot of sitting around for the fire department and having more stations of EMS-qualified personnel means faster response times, more people to help on scene, and, subsequently, more lives saved.

Most of the time the fire department serves as overdressed EMS. ;)

Upvote for being the only one in this thread who can spell Criss Angel correctly.

I've never heard of you or your history, please elaborate for me.

• Are you willing to share what "diagnoses" psychiatrists gave you or for which they treated? I'd like a background as to why you were placed in an inpatient facility five times.

• What led up to each instance of being admitted? You said you were on a car but I'd like to hear what was going on in your head and why you were brought to psychological treatment.

• Why are you opposed to psychological treatment and why are you opposed to medication? How have each affected you and how do you feel your life is altered by being on or off medical treatment?

• How did you escape from the facility?

• How do you feel your experiences relates to others? Would you recommend most people attempt to live medication free or do you think that medications are a positive resource, just not right for you?

• What do you discuss during your speeches? What is "getting control of your life" to you?

Thank you for your time, I am interested to hear your responses to these and other questions in this thread.
