I get a collapsed lung now almost every 2 months, and according to the specialist this cant be cause of sports, yet he does tell me to stop doing so for 1-2 months each time it happens.

The alternative is to have chirgery performed on you and have you lungs glued to you chest, as it would normally be naturally (sort of). Yet they advice against it as its such an intrusive treatment on the body.

Lesson learned, my body, I make the rules ..

I know someone with that problem, let me know if you come up with any other solutions or tips I can pass on to him.

That my old view that chat rooms should be banned from the internet, unless they're a part of a well moderated website, was recently rekindled.

That a child-size S10 gas mask fits my face.

What's with this world and it's backwards reasoning.

Not sure if I got the right translation, but I think I did ..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_alveolus
I have one of those that has been punctured and that will never heal properly, so it has the chance of snapping open for as long as you live. Normally this wouldnt happen very soon unless you smoke/have very damaged lungs/etc, but in my case it does open and when it does it takes my right lung with it.
They are going to remove that Pulmonary Alveolus and than glue my lungs to my chest (both my lungs have become damaged in such way that in between my lungs and my chest there is 9mm thick scar tissue).

That the main thing that bothers me about religion is when people force it on their kids in abusive ways. I get kids (mostly LGBTs), who need help because their parents wont give them what they need because they, "Don't believe in that gay ****." The parents are usually uneducated, overbearingly controlling, one of the many christian spinoffs, and somewhere in the South.

If it's to the point where i'm having to talk your kid out of suicide because you can't get off your high horse and give them what they need, than you deserve jail time.

Very kind of you ... and that isnt sarcasm.

I do sometimes wonder if suicide isn't linked to belief, IE there is somewhere else to go... I've been very unhappy a few times but simply ceasing to exist at all has never seemed like a possible way of dealing with it to me.

Suicide is essentially a last ditch cry for help. Belief or not, really, the only thought that lingers is, "I need to get out of this situation, somehow."

Believing in reincarnation or whatever does make it a little easier. However, if I can recall correctly, most of the kids I've talked to don't want an afterlife or anything.

I have usually found that legs are most useful, when it comes to just walking away from things. One of my friends had a motor bike accident, broke his leg in 4 places, was clearly going to be permanently half crippled and in pain for the rest of his life. He chose to stand in front of a train rather than deal with it. That was a shame, but understandable, not something you can easily walk away from.

Long nite ahead...

Just swallow the damn spagetti will you!

It will sooner have a negative effect as these kids are fed that suicide is against their belief, so that last escape isnt an option, eventhough they feel inclined to use the option, which makes their situation even more dire.

I wonder what you look like anyway...

Like a fairly average-built twenty-year-old.
