I'm an absolute believer in physical therapy and massage therapy, especially for the elderly who need to keep moving.
That said, I have no understanding how Chiropractics can work. My own theory is that many Chiroprators are actually excellent physical therapists, and therefore what they do does, in fact, work.
I don't get the "adjusting" your spine, etc. How can you move herniated disks, cartledge, etc.? And if you did, you'd most likely injure the person.

obama is the only pres with the balls to tackle the massive poverty divide.
the others didnt do it because it risked their tenure.
the people are the ones to blame...period...and it will get worse until the people accept that they need to give a little, in order to get something in return.
THATS what's fucked about the USA.
So his objective is to put everyone on food stamps and Obamaphones? That's dealing with poverty?

Obama fans continue to blame Bush for everything.
Bush had to deal with a huge terrorist attack in the first year of his presidency. Yes, he made some big mistakes, but he's the first president in modern history to deal with this situation in the continental U.S. No other incident can compare.
Even if you compare Obama to Bush, well, if Bush spent too much, that doesn't give Obama a license to spend twice as much.
Obama's goal is just to spend us into oblivion. Everthing he does is political.

if u blow this pic up u can see the massive scar along his hairline where they pulled his forehead skin up and pulled his hairline down.
Move that hairline a little further down and he can be in the new Munster movie (without makeup or wig).

That new TNT show "Hero" DESPERATELY needs to add this guy to the cast, along with The Rock.
Ramsey > The Rock Not even close. The Rock would have had to call his agent before doing anything. Ramsey stepped up and kicked the fuckin door in.

Stockholm syndrome, or capture–bonding, is a psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending them. These feelings are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, who essentially mistake a lack of abuse from their captors for an act of kindness.[1][2] The FBI's Hostage Barricade Database System shows that roughly 27% of victims show evidence of Stockholm syndrome.[3]
Stockholm syndrome can be seen as a form of traumatic bonding, which does not necessarily require a hostage scenario, but which describes “strong emotional ties that develop between two persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other.”[4] One commonly used hypothesis to explain the effect of Stockholm syndrome is based on Freudian theory. It suggests that the bonding is the individual’s response to trauma in becoming a victim. Identifying with the aggressor is one way that the ego defends itself. When a victim believes the same values as the aggressor, they no longer become a threat.[5]
Battered-person syndrome is an example of activating the capture–bonding psychological mechanism, as are military basic training and fraternity bonding by hazing.[6][7][8]
Stockholm syndrome is sometimes erroneously referred to as Helsinki syndrome.[9][10]
Patty Hearst actually sided with her captors, and was almost convicted. Clearly she was a victim of this syndrome. She was the victim, and mentally did what she did. These women just had to adjust to their captor, not agree or side with them. They had to adjust mentally to try to survive.

you wont make me believe they didnt stay with these men willingly quite a long time. Something just doesnt add up in these stories. Three women and one kid dont stay "trapped" against their will in the same rooms for years without going outside without fighting.
I agree with part of what you are saying. They "adjusted" to their situation to survive. My guess is that 99% of the time, abducted women/girls are killed or die trying to escape. This is what they must do if they are going to survive. They just take on the mindset that they are just going to obey their captors. But I see what you are saying. After a week or two, you are going to either kill your captor or be killed. One or the other, period.
