I'm not saying those people aren't using it as a racist term. I can't really judge on that.

It definitely isn't "widespread" nor did I claim it to be. My guess is something like 20% of my Falcon friends/acquaintances use the term regularly. Again, I don't know what's in their hearts, but I've never heard it come across as racist. I definitely have an open mind to it seeming that way though.

I am glad you know how to use Google for 5-10 minutes. You should be very proud of yourself. You comment on a lot of my posts. I know I started this conversation with a reply to yours, but in general, I've noticed you and DodgerIrish respond quite a bit to my posts. Usually with something distasteful to say. Just something to think about.

I am definitely not a racist.

You pretended to be my friend. Facebooked me. Texted with me some when you knew I was going through a rough time and then really showed your true colors by your behavior since. Despicable. You ought to be ashamed but I'm sure you're not in the least.

I always find it funny when someone calls someone out as racist. Often times that person tends to be a racist. Reminds me of people that are so homophobic who turn out to be gay. Or posters like TDomeski who are in every thread denouncing with such viciousness any kind of scammer and then takes gambling acquaintances for $15,000. To his credit, though, from what I hear, all of that has been repaid. The true sign of character, to me, is how someone responds to adversity and picks them up when life knocks them down. Not everyone was born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Some of us are 5'4', borderline aspergers and made such poor decisions in life that they now drive a truck for a living. I don't mean these as personal attacks. Two out of three of those things were cards you were dealt, and for the most part, I have (at least in the past up until the last few months) admired how you have handled yourself. I do wish you nothing but the best, Chad. I know that you're probably still reeling from the loss last night. Perhaps the four national championships you've enjoyed since 2009 will help you cope with the loss. There's a lot more to life than sports.

lol racist dude from GA doesnt think he's racist, more at 11. gtfo. the truck driver deflection is just icing on the cake. as if anything that led to someone being a truck driver is any more of a poor decision than what led you to thinking "coons" was acceptable.

it's ok to say something like "my bad guys, because 20% of my friends are stupid/uneducated to the point where they use the term regularly i didnt realize the insensitivity, it won't happen again" - really, nothing wrong with that!

Eddy,

Having a neurological disease sucks. Truly glad you've done so much to proactively figure out and attack the issues going on. It's admirable and takes courage. Best of luck to you man.

lol. where did anyone say that? please quote. oh wait you can't because you fail at reading too. nowhere did i say somebody from GA is 100% a racist. try better. i've got tons of friends from GA who don't use the term coons!

i called you a racist (true) dude (true) from georgia (true?) who doesnt realize he is racist (true).

get back to me when 20% of my friends are casually using the term "coons" - hint: that'll never happen. but keep pretending you're better than people because despite your racism you don't drive a semi. rofl

I met with a team of doctors at UC. Went through all of my symptoms, timelines, etc. My diagnosis is Functional Movement Disorder. The doc was nice enough to contact my therapist back home and hopefully together they can help me get back to semi normal. You guys can look it up, I'm not sure how I feel about the result of the visit. Looks like I have a lot of work to do.

On another note, I had somebody tell me that I shouldn't share with people because people won't know what to think. If I had a broken leg, nobody would mind if told them how it happened. People shouldn't be ashamed of suffering from anxiety and/or depression. Nobody chooses that. I think if people were more open, perhaps people could get the help they needed sooner.

In not a doctor, but that diagnosis looks they have no idea what it is.

From the first google result:

Quote:

The term functional (psychogenic) movement disorders (FMD) has historically been applied to disorders that manifest with physical symptoms—specifically abnormal movements (gait disorders, tremor, dystonia, etc.)—but which cannot be attributed to any of known underlying organic disorder and which instead is presumed to be due to “psychological factors”.

In the US medical system, there is no billing code for 'I don't know' so they have a bunch of catch all diagnoses that are essentially useless from a treatment perspective. This looks like one of them.

I'd be super skeptical of any doctor claiming the can definitely reverse the effects of something when they are giving such a vague diagnosis.

Best of luck though, mysterious medical stuff sucks.

We had one of those in PA in the early 90s, which led to my dad telling me to get outside and chip the ice off the driveway with a hatchet, which I did (our driveway was very steep and ~100 yards long, as their house is at a valley at the end of a cul de sac, so it was a tremendously time consuming pain in the ass). Then he surveyed the driveway in May and told me I'd chipped it up enough that I needed to seal it, and to get to the hardware store. One day I hope to reach his level of dadding.
