Scientology's PATHETIC attempt at promoting...

When it smells like crap, looks like crap, and acts like crap: IT'S CRAP!!

"Citizens Commission on Human Rights"

http://www.cchr.org, is a pathetic Scientology site that proclaims to HELP investigate and expose psychiatric human rights abuse. What is very interesting is that NOT ONCE do they explain, define, describe, or give examples of any kind of abuse, other than being prescribed psychiatric medication itself. The site only helps to further stigmatize mental illness, and isolate those suffering, by proclaiming that mental illness cannot be tested for, so in essence it doesn't exist! It's all an elaborate hoax, the site tries to convince you, yes it was created to suck the money from your wallets (Fraud!). It even blames the deaths of Kurt Cobain, Marilyn Monroe, and Judy Garland on psychiatry! (To name a few) It states that mental hospitals should be replaced with asylums, and holy sh*t, this is a human rights group? Are these people for real?

(You too can be a Human Rights Investigator, just order your rinky dinky kit (no special education, training, or aptitude required!), and you're all set to go!)

So, given all of this extremely informative material I just had to write a little something to the Scientologists to show my appreciation:

"I started out with an open mind about Scientology and its extension into the world of psychiatry. I might actually applaud the effort of the "Citizens Commission on Human Rights", but the "abuse" you are describing (or shall I say, cleverly NOT describing) is nothing more than a counterproductive witch hunt. I actually have to laugh at the effort you waste in misinforming the public, going as far as to say that psychiatry is responsible for racism! Give me a break! I particularly love the fact that I can be a "Human Rights Investigator" with little more than a signature at the bottom of a piece of paper. Come on, people! Shouldn't you require a little EDUCATION or even a little training beyond "looking professional". Mentally ill people deserve an educated representative, or did you really think that people would be clamoring to tell your misinformed, brainwashed, "advocates", their stories of abuse? Assuming that the mentally ill would even welcome your help was your first mistake. Can't you see how you belittle us, our families, our struggles and our lives?? Fighting the stigma of mental illness is a tough battle, even without the added toxicity you throw into the mix. Here's a thought, why don't you come up with a few other solutions to mental illness, besides a physical examination by an M.D. to discover any underlying physical causes! (By the way, I was prescribed psychiatric drugs from an actual MEDICAL DOCTOR, NOT a psychiatrist) If those tests prove NO underlying physical cause, then what? Answer me that. Perhaps investing some time, effort, and money into actually HELPING the mentally ill, instead of trying to prove their illnesses don't exist, would be a more appropriate use of your influence. What an idea! In the meantime, make sure you LOOK PROFESSIONAL (THE ONLY REQUIREMENT TO BECOME AN ADVOCATE!!) because you certainly have no impressive letters after YOUR name!"

Isn't it ironic how people can sometimes be sooo into a religion. They eat, drink, and breathe it. Does it matter if they can prove its existence with a convenient test? Hell no! Isn't it much like a "pseudoscience"? Interesting......

Celebrity,
I was really surprised at how well Matt Lauer handled that situation! You know what really concerns me though? What if Tom Cruise's new baby (god forbid) develops a mental illness? Wouldn't that be the saddest thing for that poor baby??
