The reason i know this to be fairly true is i've had friends in my life who actually have been or still are addicted to crystal meth, when they can't get it, they take Ritalin because according to them it has the exact same effects as street crystal meth! Why are kids given these pills?Is it true that Ritalin is basically like crystal methampetamine in a pill form?
it is not like crystal meth in the way you are thinking. ppl who have add/adhd have different brain chemistry than ppl who don't...ritalin calms them down and allows them to focus. same thing with coffee. when ppl who don't have add/adhd take add/adhd meds, their brain reacts differently to it, and it causes them to be even more hyper, like an effect that meth causes.
kids who truly have add/adhd are given these pills b/c they work. they have been approved by the board of medicine (or whatever it's called). ppl keep saying that too many parents are medicating instead of dealing with their behaviour, or that add/adhd isn't real...it is real, and i've seen ppl off their meds and it is not pretty. why would we medicate for other things, such as epilepsy to stop seizures, and not medicate ppl who have add/adhd so they can focus and be attentive, resulting in being able to pay attention in school and get better grades?Is it true that Ritalin is basically like crystal methampetamine in a pill form?
I don't know about crystal meth, but for ritalin, it's been given out like candy to anybody who says their kids move around too much. Many times it's the parent's lack of patience with active children. It's normal to have a child that runs everywhere, talks loud and climbs on things. But people nowadays look for answers in pills instead of using their heads. In many cases they should medicate the parents, not the children. My sister's had to take it (believe me, really had to, not a figment of my parents' imagination like many) and she's in her 30's and still has to take it. Giving a child ritalin should be a decision made on many factors and not just because parents (and teachers) like to get quiet time.
No, but it's close. I don't think that Ritalin is as destructive to the body as crystal meth, but I know people who do it to get high (which I frown upon) and I know people who do crystal meth and sometimes I can't tell them apart. I think that's why it's called the poor man's crack. Don't quote me on this though, I've never touched any of those drugs. Check out the link below, it's all about Ritalin abuse...
And I don't know why kids are given these drugs. Of course most kids can't pay attention in school, they're KIDS for crying out loud. I know some kids do need it, but I think most are given it because mommy and daddy thinks it'll help them do better in school, little do they know they're actually giving their kids a possible life-long drug addiction!
They are both stimulants. So I guess you could ALSO say that 'caffeine is basically meth in coffee-form.' But no, they are not 'the same' in their effects on the brain or behavior or addictive potential. [Assuming that Ritalin is used as prescribed.]
(Addicts who use Ritilin instead of meth use it in MUCH higher doses, and they usually grind it up and inject or snort it.)
It is similar but not the same. For this reason when they diagnosed my son with adhd I choose NOT to give him medication. I am trying different approaches bc I dont want my son to be on it. You said you have friends who do it. Okay so you know long term what a tweaker looks like, right? Now go and look at a 7 year old boy whos been on it for two years and I bet they look way differently. A tweaker tends to pick at thier face or thier face looks sunk in, it affects thier teeth, etc. A child on ritalin normally does loose some weight but does not have any of the other consequences......
Anywho- your friends just take it to help them coming down bc it 'sorta' feels like it but yeah like I said not the same....
I hate all these stupid medications for all these stupid ';disorders';. The moment a kid gets too hyper for the school or parents to know what to do with, they automatically start pumping them full of meds. It sickens me. As for the ';feeling'; that people get when they use it.... I wouldn't know. I've never used Crystal meth nor Ritalin, so I'm not educated on how it makes you feel. lol
By the way, your photo creeps me out. I lived in Wichita, KS when 'he' resurfaced. People were calling into work because they were too scared to leave their houses. It was a CREEPY few months until they finally caught him.
its speed alright
not crystal meth
but people grind it snort it
smoke it
kids are given these pills to addict them
so the fda will have drug dependant adults needing pills to handle their emotions and life stressors
its all a money making bizniz
Well if that is the case then the same can be said about Heroin because I know a few people who took Ritalin as a child and were hooked on Heroin later in life. I think it is because if a child is used to taking drugs then by default as an adult he still needs drugs.
Methylphenidate, not Methamphetamine.
C14 H19 N O2 compared to C10 H15 N
Definitely not the same.
its not the same chemically perhaps it gives them similar side effects like calming them down but its definitely not as strong as Meth lol.
Close, but no cigar. They are both amphetamines, though Ritalin is not addictive when used properly.
Not quite. It's an Amphetamine based drug, but not Meth-amphetamine. Which is why Meth abusers should not take it.
Some people need these pills to focus. Others just do dumb stuff. Not they are not the same.
NO
yep not a good thing for your child!

Why is it the older we get the harder it is to form true friends?
Because as we get older, we realize that true friends aren't just people you hang out with and have a good time with. They're the people who will tell you the truth every time whether you want to hear it or not because they care about you. They stick around when things get bad and help you through bad times.
Most of our friends when we're younger don't live up to that.Why is it the older we get the harder it is to form true friends?
because so many selfish people around, and look after their own needs only, besides having no company is better than bad company...Why is it the older we get the harder it is to form true friends?
There becomes a maturing stage . You need to be aware of your personnal needs and immediate family. They become your real friends ; plus they say there are more women in the world than men , but, you'll never see it in the real world. Safest route in adult life is follow the money and everything else will come.
Because you are better able to see what rats people are :-)
We are more careful of whom we chose as friends from learning of our mistakes of the kind of people we can trust and let into our lives
I think much of it is because, as adults we have adopted the idea of thinking too much. Kids just accept people no matter what. They are lovely little free spirits that don't judge people.
It is hard to form true friends because when people enter your life it is always about motives. It is our duty to decipher what that motive is. If we realize it and are able to nip it in the bud then we can actually find friends who possess the qualites of a real friend. People are very selfish and self-centered and if you find someone who can sacrificial then you have found a real friend. It seems the older we get the more selfish we get and then we are unable to create the bonds we need to create with real people. We have been hurt thru life so much and have hurt other people and then we no longer trust people the way that we should so we never really get a chance to bond as we should as we get older because we feel that people are ';out to get us'; so the speak. But if we stick to figuring out peoples motives then you will be able to create those lasting bonds. And last but not least, treat people the way you want to be treated because in life we all reap what we sow at one time or another. If we want a true friend, be a true friend to someone who needs one.

Is it true that some people think our solar system was formed after a supernova?
I read on a website that it was because of heavy elements that are formed in the sun near the end of its life cycle. But our sun is to young to do this.Is it true that some people think our solar system was formed after a supernova?
Not all stars were born at the same time. The first stars formed after the Big Bang were composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. Life did not exist around these star systems. These (population 3) stars were massive and had short lives. When these stars died by supernova, they produced heavier elements and ejected them into space. As newer stars formed (population 2), they formed not only of hydrogen and helium, but of heavier elements as their nebula passed through the debris of the older stars. In fact, it may have helped cause the nebula to coallesce. The nebula that came to form our Sun (population 1) passed through not only population 3 debris but perhaps also some population 2 debris thus not just composed of hydrogen and helium but also of some of the heavier elements. Without these heavier elements, life would not be possible.
mark- maybe you should print up a religious response that you can put onto all astronomy questions in the same way that you post your carbon copy response to all alien/UFO questions.Is it true that some people think our solar system was formed after a supernova?
You're quite right, but our sun wasn't the supernova. The heavy elements were formed in previous generations of stars.
When massive stars explode as supernovas, they create heavy elements (iron, nickel, and heavier ones) in that explosion and expel those elements out into interstellar space. The clouds of dust and gas (and those heavy elements) start to collapse (often due to the shock waves of that same and other supernova) into the next generation of stars.
Our sun is theorized to be a third-generation star, formed after 2 ';waves'; of supernovas enriched the gas and dust in space with heavier elements.
Its those heavier elements that became the rocks of the planets in our system.
The material in the earth and other planets was formed in the deaths of other stars.
Yes, all the heavier elements like iron, gold, uranium, etc., could only have been produced in the intense temperature and pressure of an ancient supernova(s). Most of the elements in your own body were created that way. As Carl Sagan liked to say, ';We're all made of star stuff.';
God created the Universe people. period.
dont be arrogant to believe.
!!!
All of the elements came from inside dead stars. Everything originated from hydrogen and it takes the tremendous heat inside stars to fuse atoms together to create the other elements.
Yes, some people think that is true. And after lots of study I think that they might be correct.
it was... we have a lot of heavy elements on the earth including Uranium. these could only have been formed in a dying star. we are second maybe third or fourth generation. some of the heavier stars live brief (millions of years) lives.
yes scientist do believe the world started from the big bang

True or false...? Reaction of an acid with a base usually forms a salt plus water.?
A base is the opposite of an acid. An alkali is a base that will dissolve in water.
In general terms:
Acid + Base = Salt + Water
If the base is a carbonate, then:
Acid + carbonate Base = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide
If the base is a reactive metal:
Acid + Reactive Metal = Salt + Hydrogen

Hindus: Who is Indra in its true form ?
Is he just an unjust cruel, fighting head of Gods, as shown my Maxmullers %26amp; Co.
Or he has some deeper esoteric personalityHindus: Who is Indra in its true form ?
Indra is also a manifestation of ParaBrahman. He is also the king of the plane of another dimension called ';Swarga'; similar to heaven or Jannat.
In the Veda the name Indra was also used as the name of ParaBrahman called Parmeshwara the supreme God.
Idi Parmeshvarye Dhatu + ran prifix = Indra. So first meaning of Indra is Parmeshwara or God.
He is also a Dikpaala or Lokapala the protector of the directions called ';the east';.
From BrihatSamhita:-
Two arms, Vehicle is ';Eravata the elephant';, weapon is Vajra
From Vishnodharmottara Purana:-
Four arms, Vehicle is ';Eravata the elephant';, weapons and other arm positions are Lotus, Vajra, Ankusha and embracing Shachi(his wife) with his forth arm.
From BrihatSamhita and RoopMandana:-
Four arms, Vehicle is ';Eravata the elephant';, weapons and other arm positions are VardaMudra(giving blessings), Vajra, Ankusha and the vessel of water.
He is really the Vigorous manifestation of ParaBrahman.
Indra is also called YagyaPurush( the main reason of Yagya) of Yagya.
Coz he is the supreme God in the Sakar realm of ParaBrahman.
What is Vajra?
Vajra also called Srika, Hayshir and Trisandhi because it has three knots and thousands blades. It was prepared by Twashta to kill Vrittasura a Brahmin demon or BrahmRakshsas. It was made of the bones of Dadhichi that had later turned as hard as diomond and as solid as iron. That is why diamond is also called ';Vajra';.
Edit:-
Zuko, B'ful answer ! :)Hindus: Who is Indra in its true form ?
Indra - Characteristics
In art, Indra is depicted as a muscular, red man, sometimes with four very long arms.
Indra's weapon, which he used to kill Vritra, with the help of other gods), is the thunderbolt (Vajra), though he also uses a bow, a net and a hook. He rides a large, four-tusked albino elephant called Airavata. When portrayed having four arms, he has lances in two of his hands which resemble elephant goads. When he is shown to have two, he holds the Vajra and a bow (Masson-Oursel and Morin, 326).
Indra lives in Svarga in the clouds around Mt. Meru. Deceased warriors go to his hall after death, where they live without sadness, pain or fear. They watch the Apsaras and the Gandharvas dance, and play games. The gods of the elements, celestial sages, great kings and warriors enrich his court.
Indra - Relations with other gods
He is married to Indrani (whose father, Puloman, Indra killed), and is the father of Arjuna (by Kunti), Jayanta, Midhusa, Nilambara, Rbhus, Rsabha. Indra is also the father of Vali and Surya. He is attended to by the Maruts (and the Vasus), children of Diti and Rudra. Indra had murdered Diti's previous children, so she hoped her son would be more powerful than him and kept herself pregnant for a century, practicing magic to aid her fetal son. When Indra discovered this, he threw a thunderbolt at her and shattered the fetus into 7 or 49 parts; each part regenerated into a complete individual, and the parts grew into the Maruts, a group of storm gods, who are less powerful than Indra.
According to one belief, Indra pulled his father, Dyaus Pita, from the sky by the foot; he fell to his death; afterwards, Indra married his mother Prthivi, who supported the murder.
Zeus of Greece is very similar to Indra.
Indra - Stories about Indra
Indra is not a perfect being, and is ascribed with more human characteristics and vices than any other Vedic deity. Perhaps consequently, he also has the most hymns dedicated to him: 250 (Masson-Oursel and Morin, 326). A well-known story about Indra tells of a sin that he committed and how he was punished for it.
Indra had an affair with Ahalya, wife of Gautama Rishi. He was punished by Gautama with a curse that ten thousand phalluses would protrude of his body in a grotesque and vulgar display, and that his reign as king of gods would meet with disaster and catastrophe. Gautama later commuted the curse, upon the pleading of the gods of Heaven, to ten thousand eyes, instead of phalluses.
Due to this sin Indra's throne remains insecure forever. He is repeatedly humiliated by demonic kings like Ravana of Lanka, whose son Indrajit (whose name means victor over Indra) bound Indra in serpent nooses and dragged him across Lanka in a humiliating display. Ravana released Indra when Brahma convinced him to do so, but Indra, as the defeated, had to pay tribute and accept Ravana's supremacy. Indra realized the consequences of his sin, and was later avenged by the Avatara of Vishnu, Rama, who slew Ravana to deliver the three worlds from evil, as described in the epic Ramayana.
Vritra, an asura, stole all the water in the world and Indra drank much Soma to prepare himself for the battle with the huge serpent. He passed through Vritra's ninety-nine fortresses, slew the monster and brought water back to Earth.
In a later version of the story, Vritra was created by Tvashtri to get revenge for Indra's murder of his son, Trisiras, a pious Brahmin whose increase of power worried Indra. Vritra won the battle and swallowed Indra, but the other gods forced him to vomit Indra out. The battle continued and Indra fled. Vishnu and the rishis brokered a truce, and Indra swore he would not attack Vritra with anything made of metal, wood or stone, nor anything that was dry or wet, or during the day or the night. Indra used the foam from the waves of the ocean to kill him at twilight.
In yet another version, recounted in the Mahabharata, Vritra was a Brahmin who got hold of supernatural powers, went rogue and became a danger to the gods. Indra had to intervene, and slew him after a hard fight. A horrible goddess named Brāhmanahatya (personified sin of brahmin murder) came from the dead corpse of Vritra and pursued Indra, who hid inside a lotus flower. Indra went to Brahma and begged forgiveness for having killed a Brahmin.
';Vajrayudha'; which Indra possessed is believed to be prepared from backbone of a sage Dadhichi to kill Asuras.
Indra is God of lightning, king of Devas and head of Heaven
Personality wise he is golden in color and always drinking somras
Once Saint Gautam cursed him for having sex with his wife Ahalya so that his body is covered with 1000 vaginas and later the vaginas become 1000 eyes
Friend, i should say one thing, this Max mueller and other british scholars are cheaters! They were paid by British government, to show wrong info about, Hinduism!! Indra, is great, he was most worshipped by Vedic people, but many times, they gave wrong ideas about him! Indra and Rudra are similar, so you can't say he is cruel!
Shri Krishna says:
vedanam sama-vedo ’smi
devanam asmi vasavah
indriyanam manas casmi
bhutanam asmi cetana
Translation
Of the Vedas I am the Sama Veda; of the demigods I am Indra, the king of heaven; of the senses I am the mind; and in living beings I am the living force
Krishna himself, says that he is Indra. Then how can he be cruel?, There are some incidents, which shows that indra, used to rape wife's of Rishi's and sage's, but it was a play (leela)! When indra, wouldn't attack or do something wrong, then the creation would not go further,it would fall. Its all a play of, God-head!!
Edit:
Thanks Crimson! Nice answer guys!!
Maxmuller got it all wrong that he realized in his lost days almost on the death bed. Indra is the Lord of the heaven as he controls the heads of all the eight directions of the universe that enables people to reach heavenly abode.
In rig veda, it talk about Indra, But we worship Shiva and Krishna?
What is the connection here?
There is no Existence of Indra, It is all fabricated by man.
Trust you frist, then people - it is equally worship god
Oh, let us forget about old Maxmuller and Co.
You have all good answers, excellent! But I go with Mano, whose answer I really admire.

Maxmuller got it all wrong that he realized in his lost days almost on the death bed. Indra is the Lord of the heaven as he controls the heads of all the eight directions of the universe that enables people to reach heavenly abode.
In rig veda, it talk about Indra, But we worship Shiva and Krishna?
What is the connection here?
There is no Existence of Indra, It is all fabricated by man.
Trust you frist, then people - it is equally worship god
Oh, let us forget about old Maxmuller and Co.
You have all good answers, excellent! But I go with Mano, whose answer I really admire.
(No offense, Crimson and all you my dear friends!)

';If a company requires initial payment from you in order to work for them, they are not legitimate.';
There are a few legitimate data entry companies but are not hiring and have large waiting lists (1-2yrs). The majority of data entry jobs you seen online are scams. A real company will want you to have skills inc fast typing, may want you to know MS Excel, and will usually ask that you have high speed internet. Once in a long while you may found one online on a job website but thats rare.
