seriously... try to imagine a week-long debate between tim shadbolt and michael laws about a local body issue of trivial importance, and have it *not* be fun...
honestly easily, it just doesn't feed into my soul because at the end of the date it will devolve into hate and rhetoric, not actual informed debated.
that said it's election time and election debates are a load of arse.
And there are some key issues out there, maybe to find both politicians and advocates of an issues, could prove fascinating.then again what are the issue th PA peeps each care about?
- i think all new roads should have cycle lanes, and i don't even cycle, but i'd hate to git a stupid cyclist who is under the impression all the road belongs to them -
once former lurkers come out and play, probably they find they can relax their guard a little (as they find the PA community isn't that scary after all)
See but i think from this thread there are a few of us who admit that PA is a bit much at times, so we lurk more than post.
which relates to this insightful comment from paul
I also found the less political columns easier to comment on, people are just as passionate about TV or music, but a more inclined to hear othersides of an opinion without taking it personally. (cheers Graham)__iYES - i just read the political threads, becuase honestly i don't want to go there if things get heated
and i love reading the political stuff , becuase i think PA is the best political discussion in NZ, which is pretty coolbut yes I'm more attune to post in what i perceive as less conflict driven threads.

i wonder if like me, on PA some other women just can't be arsed getting into a heated discussion

Scary, scary bastards, is what I think you meant to say, Sue. (And I say that in an entirely loving way).
excellent jackieWell see some of those scary bastards are my very dear and special friends.
While I've spent my life amassing useless trivia like the fashion choices of Madonna through the ages and the fashion spectrum of reality television. they have actually pout their brains to good use.
I have trouble spelling most days. -

well in Van Gogh's case would medication have dulled his creativity?
there are plenty of instances of artists going off prescription medication becuase they are less creative on it.(CCBT)
i really like that this is designed to go along side medical support, from GPS or nurses -
aren't they all much of a muchness.
further to what stephen said,
there are as many forms of therapy as there are drugs, and some forms of therapy are about as useful as a placebo.
some forms of counseling, can in fact be do more harm than good, or even mask symptoms.
the childhood stuff, mostly it's about a therapist getting a fix on how long you've been depressed, what triggers exist in your life, also what patterns you have.
I speak as someone whose found 2 years of intensive CBT extremely helpful (thank you capital coast health)
As a result of CBT I was able to reduce my medication, have a life.I can honestly say it was a life changing thing for me, something counseling never even came close to
