Hahaha, you've dosed over 100 times? You must have the skull of a moose. You might say you aren't crazy, but now I know EXACTLY where that paranoid schizophrenia about the mail situation originates from (assuming you are the anon that I think you are- the guy who has that weird problem with the mail policy). Naw, I'm just giving you a hard time, I hope your feelings aren't dented. I just had to throw in a left hook after your right cross (when you proved to everyone that you knew what you were talking about...you had it posted exactly right the first time).
As far as right and wrong goes- I am telling you man, you can't win this argument. There honestly is no such thing as right or wrong, good or bad. It's all how you process it, as the individual you are. I will say that on a large scale, opinions about murder and torture are generally the same- those types of things are unaccepted by most. Just because a certain number of people believe in one thing, it doesn't make it right. Right and wrong is a system based on overall and general opinions of society as a whole. Jesus was killed for our sins- you gonna sit there and tell me that was wrong? No, no, no-- you always have to look at the big picture. I am not saying killing is justifiable, I am just saying what people believe as right and wrong goes only opinion deep. If you think murder, torture, and mutilation of children is so bad, why don't you start fighting to stop all of the things that we are causing in Iraq?
I am probably going to stop posting on here because these threads are really just a big circle of opinions, which is really nice, but not a whole lot of people are really accepting everyone elses'. As far as WWASP goes, I can understand you wanting them to be shut down because of their track record with alleged abuse thus far. You said that it wouldn't be the end of the world for the teen help industry (which I think we all agree that the idea of a school that ACTUALLY HELPS THE KIDS is a good idea) because there will still be other places that are affordable. Who is to say that the problems with WWASP won't reccur with other programs? If your response is, "We will have these other programs with more checks and balances, yadda yadda yadda...." then why can't they do the same thing with WWASP? I mean, shutting down WWASP would definitely put an end to any possibilities of abuse (there), but it would also effect a lot of families who are in the middle of piecing their homes back together. I dunno, to put it in short: You don't want abuse and you are suggesting better regulations on these schools; why shut down all WWASPS programs and put 1400 families into situations that definitely wouldn't help them out, when you could just slap those regulations on WWASP, instead? What would the difference be?
