Not frightened, only nauseated.  I'm only praying you are in your 20's and will outgrow it.

The really frightening part is that a lot of these folks are well past their 20s. Talk about not having a life....

Nope a few decades off, but it's good to know you are praying for me! Thank you!

He doesn't feel the need to defend it- he could care less.

I feel the need to help other parents separate the bullshit you guys spew from the reality of what these programs can offer."

I have a feeling you're in for a reality check in a few years.

1082 condescending postings is a full time job.  

This tired old argument again?  How many hours per day does it take you to write a message?

All who doubted or denied would be lost. To live a moral and honest life -- to keep your contracts, to take care of wife and child -- to make a happy home -- to be a good citizen, a patriot, a just and thoughtful man, was simply a respectable way of going to hell.

You sure spend a lot of time here talking about nothing, don't you?

I thought you had a JOB, but you seem to just hang around fornits doing nothing but bitching and moaning about other people.  You DO sound like a drunken housewife.  Maybe that's why your kid is so fucked up - because of YOU.

Doesn't anyone here find it interesting that the "people" who argue about how great carlbrook is always have the same smarmy tone when questioned further?

[Anonymous]

Does anyone find it interesting that the people who slam all programs and won't even consider that a particular program might be beneficial resort to insults and sexual slurs when they get backed into a corner?

Some do that, not all and you know it.  There are quite a few of us who post regularly and carry on converasations with adversaries without the childishness.  Seek those out and respond to those only and there really won't be that much a problem getting a dialog going.

I personally have never seen anyone on my side of the argument get backed into a corner.  It's quite the contrary.  All clinical research supports the notion that EG and TBS are ineffective at best and horribly damaging at worst.

There is not one single solitary shred of clinical research to show anything other than inefficacy or harm.

Due to this fact, it is the program supporters that are always and continuously backed into a logical corner because eveything they say is based solely on second-hand anecdotal evidence.  This is no ground from which to challenge well established facts of science.

This unsupportable position leads these folks to lash out at their detractors with viscious insults and base affrontery, as their position is utterly bereft of any scientific gravity whatsoever.

That's the nut of it.

"eveything they say is based solely on second-hand anecdotal evidence"

This is where you continue to be blind. You have heard from students who have attended the school and parents who are reporting objectively. The parents are not blindly defending every aspect of this school. Yet, you continue to hold the position that no one can benefit from Carlbrook and any parent who sends a child there is a terrible parent and has been brain-washed into believing in the program. YOU are the one without first-hand information.

No, we cite clinical research in addition to our own personal stories.  You don't because you can't.   Period.

When a parent has tried everything else and there is some evidence (as minute as it may be) that it works for "some", one hopes (and believes) it will be their child coming out on the other side able to cope with adversity better.  It's a hard call to make when one is faced with weighing certain death and extreme discomfort for their own child.  And, until you've been there, been the parent, not the child, you cannot possibly know how it feels to make that call.  Now, all of you, go ahead and attack me the way you attack the others.  I'm used to it.
