Like a strange Grisham book. Rather a scary proposition if the suit has any truth to it whatsoever. But still Useless news. Title: Re: Winners Don't Do Drugs. Post by: Strazos on February 23, 2006, 06:14:23 AM What a crock of shit, especially the cited study. I'm so fucking sick and tired of seeing all these "studies" being given credibility when their methodologies seem shakey. A test group of 11 people? Eleven? For fuck's sake....

The Mayo Clinic is hardly a fly-by-night operation and you can Google on this stuff to see that doctors and researchers are taking it seriously and also, unfortunately, lots of ambulance chasers.Title: Re: Winners Don't Do Drugs.

What in the hell makes this guy think he can get diddly from them because he might have a weird issue with a drug?

No, 11 people out of the STUDY had the gambling symptoms, not the entire test group was 11 people. It's probably a small amount of like 1000 people or something, but a test group of 11 people would be retarded. |
