If my parents said this to me the moment I realized what I was on and that I had to deal with coming off of it late in life I would be beside myself.

I'd probably also look up the doctor that encouraged my parents to put their seven year old on SSRIs so I could warn friends.

These huge lists of side effects are haunting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_serotonin_reuptake_i... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoxetine

If my parents were like "uh well I had virtually no symptoms" I'd lose my mind!

Life sucks, I'm depressed all the time, kids are depressed all the time. There's material everywhere explaining a decline in general mental health. I'm happy and lucky that when my parents (or the one that was paying attention, who was certainly also depressed) noticed I was depressed or sad during a few events, some long lasting, they asked me about it, listened to me, and did their best to give me advice instead of giving up when I was seven and giving me drugs.

Remember when replying, this post has all been about myself, a victim of depression.

I agree with this.

I've learned a lot through life, one thing I've learned is about detrimental long term physical and even social effects of antidepressants, and other medications like adderal. Both I used to take.

At this point in my life, if I realized my parents gave me an antidepressant prescription when I was SEVEN years old because I said something stupid WHEN I WAS SEVEN I'd be very disturbed and disappointed in them, I'd definitely give both of them a solid scolding.

Before you respond to this remember I'm talking about me. Not your kid or your friends kid or your cousins kid.

EDIT: Quick edit to add when I was a kid I was a total outcast, I was weird, anxious, and definitely often depressed. A lot of kids in my religious schooling systems were.

And I certainly appreciate the irony of this happening while I'm reading an article about Orwell rofl

edit: Changing the subject to insulting me is a bad way to conclude. You're creating an illusion the debate is concluded in your favor instead of responding to points. I don't think any of my points had a sound argument against them.

There is a dramatic difference in effort between ( owning a device ) and ( owning a router, configuring network access to the device, then owning the device ).

Also psychologically: If I was a rock hard piece of shit and I knew I was at the doorstep of a personal device, I would treat it much more aggressively than a router. I suppose maybe that's just me and not the kids and enemy states.

And, no, I don't think it's practical for everyone and their grandma to "just set up a bastion"

This looks like lamenting the inconveniences of smoke detectors. My point is that hardwired smoke detectors function more consistently than battery powered ones.

Shouldn't a "free" product even approaching the popularity at this scale involve democracy?

Lets leave it up to a vote. Your stupid change vs. the opinion of the User.
