Of course everyone is different, of course a program (flawed or not) where people are thrust together to examine truly basic issues of life and existence is going to facilitate people coming together in very profound ways--and of course that may lead to strong friendship.

Absolutely. In fact, practically indisputable. I think everyone pretty much understands that. It's the glue that binds disperate young men into lifelong brotherhood when they go through a war together. It's the dynamic by which we survive natural disasters and form important bonds that last well beyond the immediate emergency.

The fact is some people are just naturally programmed to hold onto resentment more strongly than others.  

Whaaaa :question: Naturally programmed to hold onto resentment? Or just not brainwashed to the point of being unable to accept that the trauma that brought about those strong bonds was, indeed, trauma?

If we were talking about a devistating hurricane or, say, the WTO attack, would you insist that the hurricane or attack were good experiences and that anyone who felt otherwise must be flawed in some way? By your reckoning, we shouldn't be at war w/ Al Qeda. We should be contracting them to administer therapy to the rest of the nation so we all can build survivor bonds. And the surviving families should stuff all those nasty, negative comments of theirs and, possibly, seek professional help in coming around to a positive attitude about it all.

Men seldom, or rather never for a length of time, and deliberately, rebel against anything that does not deserve rebelling against.

Typical Ottawa5 response.  You haven't changed a bit.

Of course I must be "Strongly Resentful" and "on the verge of a mental breakdown", that's the only possible explaination as to why I would criticize Cedu!  :eek:  

I know you wrote that, Ottawa, why don't you just come out and say who you are instead of hiding under that bag like your spineless son?

By the way, Antigen is right:  I'm not brainwashed to the point that I accept that the trauma Cedu inflicted on me and so many other kids is a good thing.  

Why are you so threatened by that???-- and don't tell me that you're not, Ottawa, because once again, you already took the time to post about me being "naturally programmed to hold onto resentment more strongly than others."  Why would you do that, if you didn't feel threatened?  

As for you PUMA...I'm glad you don't give a fuck about what makes sense to me, believe me, the feeling is mutual, my man.  But don't go  automatically making unfair assumptions about me being a "Shitty Friend."--- You sound like Ottawa when you do that, and this makes it hard to take you seriously.

Again, Cedu didn't know shit about frienship.

"You sound like Ottawa when you do that, and this makes it hard to take you seriously."

How about addressing what Puma said instead of going into your normal Serb-astic rant---which includes shooting spite at random targets---real and imagined--- and looking for fights where there don't have to be any.

If I were Puma and the best somebody could come up with in an argument was that I sounded like "Ottowa" (??)---well, I probably would just assume that this somebody is an aggressive numb skull---and resolve to ignore him

Fine, fine, now I'm an "Agressive Numbskull" too.
Do you have any more labels for me?  

It's all Typical Cedu bullshit:  If you question or dispute the program, it's only because you are "this or that", and whatever else they can label you. Sheesh! Talk about "close minded, black & white, thinking".  

By the way, Please allow me to point out that it is awefully hypocritical of you to accuse me of being agressive and "looking for fights where there aren't any", and then to end your post by calling me names.

Also if you read our exchange in it's entirety, you would realize that I did respond to exactly what Puma said...specifically him saying that "he doesn't give a shit what makes sense to me" and his baseless suggestion that "maybe I was a shitty friend."   I say this is baseless because puma does not know me personally, and as far as I can tell, he said that about me soley because I disagree with him about cedu friendships.

As for your comments about it being in my nature to "shoot off random spite", well that's simply untrue;however, If you're really interested in finding random spite on this website, the best example would be the numerous posts on this forum by cowardly pro-cedu anons (like Anon Bully for instance), who specialize in viscously attacking total strangers, soley because we don't share their positive view of the cedu cult.

I had good friends at RMA, sure. They didn't "rat me out" or anything. I was brainwashed enough that I ratted myself out before they would even think about doing anything like that. And even if I wasn't, they wouldn't rat me out.

It's just that my friendships now in adult life are better, more meaningful, more substantial. Some of the friends I have now I view as extended family. I could never view any of those friends I had back then that way.

And yes, I fully admit that what I went through was traumatic, but to compare it to war buddies? Come on. It's a question of degrees, here. I think that if they had truly been "war buddies" I probably would have had much stronger bonds with them, and I would probably still be in touch with them to some degree.

I just don't see any point in hanging on to that part of my life. (Of course, I contradict that by coming to a forum like this.)

Antigen---your head is so far up your...never mind---I don't think the quote above even deserves a response---the tortured reasoning behind your "point" would be funny if you weren't just being flippant about a deadly serious subject
