I wonder what broke him,
Child stars tend to be seriously broken, especially the ones who wound up supporting their families. (There are exceptions, obviously.)

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You know, there is still the whole innocent until proven guilty thing going on in this country. No, really. Granted, the guy's got some major issues, but I'm still not sold on the molestation issue.
And I'm very freaking sick of hearing about it.

VH1 had a documentary this weekend about Michael Jackson that explored his childhood and they had several specialists talking about how his current life could be attributed to the various physical and psychological abuses he faced as a child.

I just bought De-Lovely on OnDemand to watch while I do my laundry. Then I remembered that I really should clean my bedroom while the laundry is in. The room that the living room tv ISN'T in. I'm such a dope.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It is an ethics violation for a psychologist to give a diagnosis for a patient that he hasn't examined.

It was mostly speculation, lots of "in situations like these a person might disfigure the body part that looked most like their abusers/seek to build a second child hood/a Jehovah's Witness who went against the teachings might react in this manner."

Heh. I'm picking up SA at the airport after work today -- I *just* got a postcard from her! As in, 2 minutes ago the mail guy handed it to me.
