After my remark, no response from Guernon came back -- uncharacteristic
of him, considering the implication in my remark, and his long,
well-known seething hatred of me.

Just eerie silence ...

Perhaps he was too busy absorbed in self pride after I told him what a
'genius' I think he is!

You're more obssessed by the posters here (or by the Jews) than by the
topic, hey Bunk!

Then you wonder why one ignore your posts.

I don't read what you write half of the time, that is why.

You are a liar and a con artist.

not here to suidcuss the subject, just to sneak info about the people
that you will use to make your lies.

Perhaps unnoticed by many APNers was Jean Guernon's very strange,
detailed reply to Mondo's post under the heading, "Don't Worry, Be
Happy..."
In the thread, Mondo innocently mentioned drugs, replying to Guernon --

Happiness is found to be most closely associated with health, followed
by
wealth and then education. --(Guernon)

Then there are others that would say hapiness is more closesly
associated
with SEX, DRUGS, and ROCK AND ROLL!!!! --(mondo)

Guernon responded --

That was a concept of the counter-culture, mainly in the 80's adn the
90's,
in developped states where health, wealth and education are already
implemented. If you are sick, poor and ignorant, there is no means for
sex,
or (recreational) drugs. Not even sure if rock'n roll is of any
interest.
Besides, Sex, drugs and rock'n roll may be joy, but they are not
happiness.
J.

Mondo (mukyuk) countered --

I didn't realize there was a difference. I thought joy and hapiness
was the
same thing. When one feels joy, they are happy.

'Having fun' is not always happiness thought. Being drunk is having
fun, but
it doesn't make you happy the next day when you have a terrible
hangover.

Guernon --

You answer your own question.

Mondo --

I didn't realize I asked a question. What question did you think I
asked?

Guernon launches into an unusually detailed reply on the drug aspect --

Way of speaking. You commented on the difference, saying there was
none, and then some with the legal recreational drug. But if you want
me to dot the
i's, in fact some drugs are very powerful and can give true bliss for a
while (almost each drug can be appropriate under a particular set of
circumstance for a specific lenght of time, but even the best ones do
not
last in benefit for that long, the brain is made to react to natural
stimuli, and even with the best of drugs, after a while (say, a month)
it
will either be contented so much it will not act like it would
otherwise, or
it will get (physiologically) addicted (with bad drugs) or
(psychologically)
accustomed (with less bad drugs), and will require more of the
substance to
continue to process everything. Exceptions being psychedelics, but even
LSD
cannot be taken more that once a week as the cell get depleted of a key
element (adrenochrome) that takes a week to regenerate. Happiness is
not
articficial. I wish! But the treaties of Hoffman on alcaloïds are quite
fascinating nonetheless. And as for the rest, sex by iteself doesn't
replace
love and sometimes Chopin (for instance) can be more appropriate than
rock'n
roll. But hey, for those who do not have the happiness they deserve, it
may
be better to "feel joy" once in a while, than be depressed... Keep also
in
mind about some drugs that, for a category of people (especially old
folks),
and for which biologists invented valium in the past, there is now a
better
way to address spleen with less bliss perhaps, but with less side
effects as
well, since the use of the brain to produce itself the molecules
(prozac
family). But even with these relatively new kind of drugs that will
work
fine to a cetain extent for a while, they must be used to solve the
inner
problem while they allow one not to ne overwhelmed, since stopping them
puts
one back where one was. These were more used and abused than ever in
2006...

The difference between joy and happiness is obvious put in such a
context,
no?

J.

Then, at one point, I step into the discussion and state --

It appears you're not talking about psychotropic drug usage garnered
exclusively from academic knowledge, but also from personal experience.
