June 30th - ADD is Bullshit

Most people walk by and say that eight year old who's making a face has ADD. Remember how a few decades ago people said that meant they were bored or sad? I hate how everyone has jumped onto the idiotic without-a-purpose bandwagon that is ADD. Even more annoying is how the idiot moms of today think they should not only go out of their way to wave ADD and Aspergers around like it's a real deal and something to be proud of, but how they think all of a sudden they can go "OOP HE HAS ADD" like they're a fucking doctor. Last time I checked, five years of Girl Scouts and PTA bake sales does not qualify you to be a neurologist or anything remotely resembling a doctor. And this brings me to another point- how doctors seem to jump at parents and go "OH GET RITALIN OR ADDERALL XR DERP DERP DERRRR." To me, that's idiotic. It's even more idiotic how they came up with ADD in the mid-80s, had no proof for two-thirds of a decade, and then go "Oh yeah, it's brain chemicals!" It's just another thing a doctor does to make more money, and, plus, look at it this way: if people who were not as normal as the rest such as Einstein, Thomas Edison and Bach grew up today, imagine how it'd be.

"Oh, yes, Mr. Bach. I'm afraid that musical skill is not normal at all. I'll have to give you a prescription note for a month's supply of Ritalin. That should do away with his strange musical playing you claim."

So, in conclusion, ADD is bullshit. Now, how's about some Ritalin? Anyone? ANYONE?
