Its all perspective. If you take a outdoor person who loves the dirt and hiking and put him in the city it might be comparably tough. Its not the dirt, its taking a kid out of his comfortable environment and allowing him to accomplish something he/she probably never thought they could,i.e, start a fire, cook, hike a few miles and at the same time learn something new about themselves, build self esteem, have a healthy diet. Expose them to something new, It works Niles, its not for everyone, I agree, some get a lot out of it others do not.

Of course it is all just chuckles and giggles and self-esteem building. Just ask the girl who is screaming in pain as they torture her in the video posted earlier.

In your usual avoiding style, you failed to address the video and simply told how wonderful it all was for your daughter.

And Charly actually admits that it took took FIVE WEEKS for her son's anger to wear out. It took them five weeks to break him down.

Charly, Who, did they twist your kids wrists like Lucy in the video? Did your kids scream in pain? Don't say it doesn't happen. I just watched it.

If anyone did that to my kid, they would be answering to me pretty damn quick. I assure you they would regret laying a hand on my boy.

I didn?t ignore it, I guess I am just desensitized because I have seen so much. I dont think anyone is saying it doesnt happen. What I disagree with is that this is regarded as somehow standard, unique to TBS?s or is written into their procedures somehow. Lots of really bad and shocking stuff happens to kids at the local school level, suicide, raped by a teacher, teachers being shot, public humiliation, track coaches forcing kids to run until they drop and some dieing of heart attacks. 10 times worse than twisting wrists. But when a prestigious school or controversial school or program has a problem it is put under a higher powered microscope. I think it is good, though. The more visibility the swifter the change will occur. If this happened at a school my kid was at I would pull her in a heart beat or ask for corrective action.
I am with you......

Where did you see so much violence against children that you became "desensitized"?

Another question that goes to your credibility: How can you claim to have seen TheWho in concert in 1973? Your parents let a 13 year-old go to a Who concert? Highly doubtful.

I wont tell you my year of birth. But the concert was in the winter 1973, December I think, and it was at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. It was the Quadrophenia tour. We slept outside all night to get tickets, which you had to do in those days to guarantee seats. They might have had Ticketron but they usually sold out quickly and only had a limited number of tickets (not like today). I was a concert junkie and would (and did) drive anywhere for a tickets if I had the time and money.

Have you ever sat back and cranked up Quadrophenia? If you haven’t you are missing a real treat.

Dump the ipod for a few hours…..If you know anyone with some decent speakers. Take a copy of Quadrophenia over, make sure you can crank it. There is not a bad play on the list… try: “I’ve had enough”…”The Real me”… at least to start. Here is a taste for those of you who have never had the pleasure.

So you were a draft dodger then. Great. I knew you were a coward, but geez.

The Who
Tue, 04 December 1973:
Philadelphia, PA, Spectrum

Setlist
I Can't Explain, Summertime Blues, My Wife, My Generation, I Am The Sea, The Real Me, I'm One, Sea And Sand, Drowned, Bell Boy, Dr. Jimmy, Won't Get Fooled Again, Pinball Wizard, See Me Feel Me

I have the bootleg. Maybe you'd like to hear it and get sucked into winsome nostalgia for the bong ripping, program-needing troubled teen you were. A couple huffs off a baggie of airplane glue and a whippit will make it 1973 all over again for you. Then comes the crushing despair of returning to your pathetic present, ya wizened geezer. Your face is more wrinkled than Methuselah's nutsack.

Careful with the whippits. A dried up old liability like you could suffer cardiac arrest from nitrous with glue chasers. It would be such a sad day for Fornits if your black heart seized up and you shuffled off to the bowels of hell.

Who, tell us how you were able to dodge the draft when other young men had to serve. I'd like to know how you got your deferments.

What horrible child abuse have you witnessed, Who? You said it, so explain what you mean.

^^ Whooter ^^

It's got to be, what rational person would ever ask whooter questions and engage a troll in conversation? Right.. nobody would do that, which proves it's whooter talking to 'him'self. If it's not, then wow this person needs to get a life.

Just answer the question and can the nonsense, dude. You made this statement that you are'desensitized' because you've 'seen so much' so I just want to know what you experienced that traumatized you so much.

That brings back memories. “Wont get fooled again” lasted about 15 minutes if I remember correctly. There was about a 5 minute keyboard solo in the middle where all the lights were turned out and you couldn’t see the person next to you. When Moon ramped it up and the lights came on onstage, Pete Townshend was in mid-air (apparently from a running start) and slid across the stage on his knees playing.... words cant even describe the energy and emotion they brought to that building that night. He ended up smashing his Les Paul that night.

Thanks for finding the play list!

Where'd you get traumatized by the abuse you've witnessed?
