Shocking anerexia websites

[The.Menace]

bigmack had a good point - well, should we allow self harm websites? I think we have no choice cause where do we draw the line? Like I said, bodybuilding ain't healty, drugs aren't healthy and to spend 10 hoursi n front of video games ain't healty neigther. It's always hard 2 draw a the line.

 

[bigmack]

You make a good point.

I'll change it to should we allow self harm websites?

that is free speech indeed,and it is opinion.What you do to your body is your own choice.You have a brain.We can't police the internet like that.

 

[Devious]

it's true, while pedophilia and snuff are illegal, other websites like these and ones that may promote self harm are protected under free speech. There is no way all these sites could be policed effectively, nor should they be. Like Mack people have brains, we cant decide how they are gonna use them

 

[Pittsey]

Yes. They have brains.

But Anorexia is a mental illness. Their brains aren't functioning correctly. So are they in a position to use their free choice responsibly?

 

[Devious]

heres my question tho. Is anorexia a mental illness that you're born with? or is it something that is caused by something else? Say like, not eating? i have a hard time believing that these people have no control whatsoever over their eating habits from day 1. This is a developed condition from what i know of it (which is admittedly little), i don't think you have absolutely no control over it right from the beginning

I've stumbled upon these kinds of websites when I was much younger. I think it's harsh to say it's disgusting, these people suffer from a disorder, it's not like they chose to be that way.

 

[bigmack]

No,but the people around them have a responsibility in keeping them away from things like pro-ana websites. Just like if a close friend of yours was suicidal,would you watch over them?It's the same thing,because that's what anorexia is,slow suicide.

It's a bit of a big responsibility to put on a friend. Also it's hard to be controlling over anothers life. If they wanna visit pro-anorexia websites they are going to do it. You probably wouldn't even know they'd done it.

I've always wondered. Sometimes when I think about it, I do think they're just stupid because they know starving yourself is a hazard to your health and they should just stop but it's an abnormal fear of being fat which I don't have so I can't possibly imagine what it's like. And with that realization I'll never say it's their own fault or say it's completely out of their hands.
What I'm wondering most of all is to what extent the disorder influences their ability to recognize the problem and seek help before they cause bodily harm.

i am wondering the same

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Want to meet and network with other pro-anas, trade tips, share secrets, support one another on the quest for perfection?

My God. God help them.

As I said before *I feel ignored* the women I know is absolutly denyin her problem and there is no way at all to talk about it or get her 2 go to rehab whatsoever cause she's not accepting this as a illness or problem or whatever.

 

[k69atie]

^ that is what anorexics do, she needs to realise she needs help b4 she accepts help.

when she gets that ill she is close to dying she will soon see what she is doing to herself is slowly killing her

(apologies if you felt i ignored you)

 

[Helena]

this makes me sad. i have a friend who was anorexic, luckily she got over it and she's better now.

 

[BIG NASTY]

there really ain't anything you can do to help ppl like this, they are hellbent on doin what they want to do. just wait for it to blow up in their face.. yeah it's real bad but i mean you can't force him/her to eat.

and i think everyone has a right to put up a website if they want to, even if it's negative (no im not a supporter of the kkk or anorexic people, i believe in free speach)

 

[The.Menace]

(apologies if you felt i ignored you)

lol - you're totally wrong - after 15 years of unhealthy starving I don't think she'll ever realize anything lol.

 

[Pittsey]

If she was really Anorexic she'd be dead. Her organs would have given up after 15 years.

 

[The.Menace]

if you know my relatives better then I do I give you props but I don't think so.

 

[k69atie]

pittsey is right, if she starving herself for 15 years she would be dead. does she binge eat too?

 

[Cown]

grose shit

 

[The.Menace]

It really starts to piss me off that you that you are so far away judge the whole situation. Believe me, the human body can handle more then you think and you'd be surprised how much modern medicin can do 2 keep someone alive. So ya all say her organs would be close to give up? Shit, where did say she didn't had surgery 2 treat effects that come from the illness which she claims doesn't exist? Don't get me startin.
