You've gotta be kidding me, Mr. Holloway.
First of all, you not only have no idea what you're talking about but also don't have any right to say you know where the children of HLA are coming from. You're speaking solely off a staff member's perspective. The months spent in isolation of the program lead to desperation, loneliness, and skin scraping torment. You have no idea of the self destructing thoughts that go along in the mind that of an HLA student.
Not only are students usually forced or tricked into getting sent away in the program, but they are lied to as well. Funny, I’ve actually heard a source stating that you yourself said that HLA supplied jet skis to the student. You make me laugh, the things you’re trying to echo in this discussion. Not to mention for a 40-something year old dirt bag you need a spell-check in almost every other paragraph.
The last discussion is quite interesting. Supporting this type of nonsense does undermine what you are trying to do. But alas, you have nothing else. The "paradoy" site really should be appreciated for what it is; the last ditch effort of a few bitter, angry, and morally corrupt individuals. I have pointed it out before and, at the risk of sounding redundant, will do so again. All any of you ultimately have is personal attacks. Middle school, juvienille attacks. Not even intellectually sophisticated attacks; and this is truly sad.
No wonder you turned to the business of commercialism and lying. It’s a parody, foremost, and just because it speaks against the philosophy your program tries to shove down 23 months in the making to these desperate souls doesn’t make it slander. There’s already too much immorality and bullshit HLA brings upon itself that makes it a magnet for criticisms.
And what a weak move on your part, being HLA’ S little puppet so to speak. If anything, Doctor B should be the one sticking to his guns with this whole HLA WILL SURVIVE crap and trying to feed his uncanny, weak argument. But no, instead he sends idiots like you with the brochure of the program in your hand and go wild. To me you’re the only one pitiful here.
Lets look honestly at the situation. You have dedicated much of your worthless lives to attempting to close what you believe to be a corrupt, abusive system. This is honorable. However, you have not one shred of evidence to support this. No substaintiated abuse investigations, no substaintiated investigation of corruption. Nothing but your own paranoia to keep you driven to nowhere.
This whole passage screams ‘HLA spy-defendant’ to me. You’re not a free speaker, but only trying to defend the program so you can go off on your ten-speed motorcycle, make money, and enjoy getting paid to lie to kids for a living. You make me sick.
And yes, those sent off to HLA are faced with tough decisions and the ones they made beforehand were nothing short of foolish, but in the big picture no one deserves that kind of punishment and trauma bestowed on them. Teenagers should be in their own environment to grow up and experience life, not sent away to the middle of nowhere and forced to hang around the scum bag staff members you people unwisely hire. (Cough, cough Trey Brown AKA the prowler cough, cough)
Over the past year HLA has faced an incredible hurdle created in part by some of you. HLA has actually survived this and come out better in many ways than before. Contrary to your uninformed belief, admissions are rising everyday. HLA will rebound, HLA will survive.
Wow. Never have I heard such subjectivity and arrogance in one passage alone (not to mention poor grammar, but don’t even get me started!).
I could really get on your case for the retarded stance you take in this one, but here let me just spark you this question: if HLA truly will rebound and survive, how come it takes away so much interest out of Lumpkin County’s taxes and also the land it consumes that could be useful for actual facilities. And if it will really survive, how come you each set yourself up for failure by hiring unlicensed counselors? Does a decrepit soul named Clay Erickson ring a bell here? How about the good ole Beau Rappe? Did you think you could really get away with that one?
Fornits however has failed. Your participation is down. You've lost much of your support and you've been kicked out of America. The few of you that have not lost complete touch with reality (drug induced or not) must begin to see that it is Fornits and its supporters who have become offensive to people. No parent, consultant or public official can take this site seriously. No parent would question who is providing factual information, HLA or Fornits. In reality, you've made Fornits a paradoy of itself.
So it’s OK to justify your concentration-camp like mentality with the usage of a questionably ‘therapeutic’ program? You’re so full of it. HLA does have its benefits and it causes change within the peers, but in the worst and most abusive way possible. There’s so many other ways you could try and help a child grow up and mature through passion and understanding without the factor of making a buck, but Hidden Lake Academy chooses not to. And that’s what sickens me the most. The point that you lead these young men and women to are wrong beyond any speak able level (and I’m talking from experience now) and you in the office just don’t care. Because each of you in the office leave and go home each night, nine to five. But not those in that run-down ghetto of a dorm, put in the care with the creepy and sanity questionable night staff.
All in a day’s work, isn’t it?
That’s what sickens me the most.
It took me stepping away from the situation a bit to see this. You are no longer threatening; you have become pitiful.
I don’t even think I have to touch base on this one, I’ve already proved how ridiculous this closing statement alone sounds.
