Lol.. just because you're a hard ass that refuses anesthetic doesn't mean that people who have ever done/taken a drug are losers.. I don't drink.. regularly.. I don't smoke marijuana.. regularly.. it's prob been over a year since I smoked a joint and before that I couldn't tell you. Last time I had a beer.. well.. prob about a month ago. I'm a healthy person.. I work out... totally reject your definition of a 'loser'. By the way, I also took 2 Tylenols today because my ear is killing me.. guess I'm pretty pathetic, right? Seriously.. as long as you don't let something take control of your life.. if you're smoking pot or drinking alcohol on occasion.. I can't find anything wrong with that.

I'd want to be awake for any procedure so I could make sure that A- they weren't going to inject an air-bubble into me to covertly kill me B- they don't sodomize me C- they don't leave any surgical tools inside me.

As a general rule I wouldn't have any operation unless an immediate family member was in the room.
LMAO-- there's no way you aren't joking.

A lot of doctors will put you out and then do whatever they want to you. Priests molest little kids, nursing home staff are occasionally found to molest helpless elderly patients. There's no reason to believe that doctors might not sodomize or molest somebody who has been put under for an operation.

As for injecting an air bubble into you, if a doctor wanted to kill you, doing it during an operation would be the way to do it. Likewise, Andries Petrus Treurnicht was the most viable genuine conservative in South Africa in 1993, until he died during a routine heart operation which was expected to be simple and straight forward. Nobody really knows how he died, but his death paved the way for the communist takeover of South Africa in 1994. It is obvious to most everybody familiar with the situation at the time that he was murdered by government operatives who wanted him removed.

Seriously.. you are either an overly zealous worrywart.. like it's most definitely such a problem that it's got to be impacting your life or.. you are jerking us around.. I don't see any other way to view your statements.

I found that alcohol was a waste of time and money (aside from sapping endurance and stamina) so I entirely stopped drinking recently.

Tylenol is a compound that comes from natural sources and I don't believe it has been shown to produce any mind-altering states. I don't believe there is any amount of THC that you can have in your system without having mind-altering effects. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, I have zero experience when it comes to using marijuana.

If you want to go alone to a doctor and let him put you under I just hope you really trust the doctor and that your trust is not misplaced. It's much easier to have a family member in the room and risk being called paranoid or ridiculed, then it is to become un-raped, un-molested, un-killed, or unharmed if something happens. It costs virtually nothing to have a family member or close friend present in the room during an operation. Why would you mock the idea of such a thing? Would you let your 12 year old daughter go to a male OBGYN alone? Even a female OBGYN for that matter. Why?

Are you a recovering alcoholic? I mean when you say you recently stopped drinking.. makes me wonder. There is something fishy with your statements.. lol.. do you belong to an extremist religious organization?

I just don't get where you're coming from.. sure there is a high associated with smoking pot just like there is one from drinking alcohol.. sometimes it's used as a way to escape. I'm guessing you think there is a problem with anything that alters (however temporary) your current reality. But.. you said you used to drink.. I think I'm missing something here, lol.

My point.. is that if you're responsible with your consumption of either.. there should be no big issue.. shouldn't make someone a 'loser'.

The only reason I brought up the Tylenol is because you made a point about how you refused anesthetic.

You seem like an extremist.. absolutely no drugs.. not even anesthetic.. you don't want to be put under because you don't trust doctors.. either you are jerking me around or you have an issue..

No, I've never had a problem with alcohol, I just came to realize it wasn't doing anything for me, and while it wasn't ruining my family life, social life, etc, it just wasn't doing anything for me. Why spend money on something that doesn't result in real benefits? I don't need to drink to socialize, do I? Why should socialization have to revolve around alcohol? I don't regard alcohol use as sinful, I just don't see any point to it. At best it is a temporary distraction.

You spend money on beer, drink a few cans, get an interesting feeling for an hour or two, it slows down your cardio workout the next day, saps you of energy you might use for sparring and other exercise, and then it packs on extra pounds. Why bother drinking to begin with?

I'm aiming to move fast and it was slowing me down. If you're going to be serious about exercise and fitness, you have to reduce your alcohol intake to zero. Alcohol and tobacco are probably the two worst things you can put into your body if you're serious about physical fitness... Note, I meant the two worst LEGAL substances. I'm sure you could find worse things, but they're not legal.

I accepted a prescription for opiate-based pain killers after the operation, but that was as a last resort since the pain was tremendous (the tooth removal site became infected) and I wouldn't have been able to sleep given the extreme level of pain. I was still always aware and under control. I don't like giving up control to other people, not in regards to something like a remote control or what's for dinner, but physical control over my body. I shouldn't have to be unconscious in the presence of anybody, if I don't want to be.
