News Items / Country number 27 on the wiki
« on: September 08, 2009, 04:19:34 PM »
Country number 27 is the Philippines.

Times are hard. Money are few. If you are parents to a troubled teen and at the same time wants to support the poor in the world, then you can fix both problems by shipping them of to the Philippines.

It must the strategy behind this little scheme made up by the humanitarian organization connected to Project Me.

It gives them a little edge over the other humanitarian organizations.

But what does the kid get?

*No therapy. Just watching old movies and talk about them
*Hard work
*No real education. At least it is stated on the webpage, so parents are not fooled by that.

Does it work. Dont know but there is a lot of other humanitarian organizations angry over that they did not do this by themselves.

Open Free for All / Video of teenage party in Denmark
« on: August 09, 2009, 05:41:03 PM »
As other countries we are talking about alcohol and youth. For more info about our culture read this webpage.

Here is a video showing a sweet sixteen birthday.

To break it down. The kids prepare the party and start mixing drinks with alcohol. The parents from several families drop by to see if everything is order. When the party starts in a tent in the garden, parents of half the participants gather in the house where they talk about everyday issues. Only once in a while they go out and check the tent for people who are not on the guestlist.

The party goes on quietly. None of the teenagers want to drink so much that they cannot stay to the very end. They might go home drunk but it is not the kind of binge drinking which kills teenagers in other countries. Also there is no drugs because the teenagers can choose any alcohol product the went to buy down at the shop when they turn 16.

The clip ends up with an interview with an expert who recommend not to have strict rules but to use manipulation by recommending a lesser amount to your child because any must realize that they drink more just to prove a point.

But does stricter regulation not result in an underground movement? How do parents keep an eye on the party life in the US?

Open Free for All / Moderation Management is replacing 12-step
« on: August 09, 2009, 05:17:09 PM »
What is known about Moderation Management.

For some time the 12-step system developed by the Hazelden Foundation was used more and more in Denmark, but right now people are being killed because the sober youth shoots a bikers without an obivious reason.

We do not want to create more violent youth, so therapists began so search for a system, which allows the clients to graduate the program whil being able to drink Alcohol in small amounts.

So the Moderation Management treatment has entered Denmark and it is pushing other treatment programs out of business.

By allowing clients to continue to drink alcohol, heathens find it more difficult to recruit them and the violence in our streets is lower.

What is the downside of this program?

The Troubled Teen Industry / Fornits posters are invited to visit ALA
« on: August 09, 2009, 03:59:47 AM »
Is actual truth important?, Talk page on the Datasheet

Quote
If there is a statement posted on the Internet, and there is very little, or no accuracy to the statement, is there value? I guess there is... when I was a child my parents would read bedtime stories to me. Even as a child I knew that these stories had no truth to them. Meaning the stories never really happened, and they were ALL "make believe". But these "make believe" stories still had value. I really enjoyed those moments when my parents would read the fairy-tales. Good bonding moment. However, as I reviewed the "Fornitswikicopy" defining Abundant Life Academy, I had a flashback, and a chuckle. I remembered the fairy tales my parents read to me as a child.
I really can't find any truth or accuracy to anything written about Abundant Life Academy on Fornit's, or Fornitswikicopy. If there is any truth, it has been twisted and purposely manipulated to fit an obvious agenda. However, I believe that Fornits has every right to exist, and to state their belief's, opinions, and stand behind their cause. I even support their right to misrepresent Abundant Life Academy. There is a place for Fornit's, and I choose to support their right to think how they want, and to express their views, without hinderance.
America is a great country, where organizations like Abundant Life Academy and Fornits can exist, together, both organization able to exercise their freedoms. I will fight for Fornit's and their right to express their beliefs, and to stand for their cause. Although I personally don't agree with Fornit's, on anything, I do appreciate the fact that they are active participants in their right to promote their attitudes, values, and beliefs. It is the American ideal of freedom. It also gives me the opportunity to practice tolerance, and respect for those who are different from myself. There is one thing that is discriminatory intolerance. Discriminatory intolerance the foundation of racism, sexism, ageism, or any other form of intolerance or discrimination. Intolerance toward others for no other reason but that they are different from the majority is small mindedness. We all must fight against intrusions of those who want to force others to be conformed to the norm.
In the United States our constitution even gives us the right to be intolerant,hateful, and even mean spirited. The constitution, and our right to free speech, allows us to push our views and opinions upon others, and to even coerce, intimidate, and harass those who don't agree with us. In other words, organizations like Fornit's can shove their beliefs down our throats, lie about others, make false statements to deceive, fabricate untruths meant to hurt, and use the written word to take other's right (as well as dignity) to follow their heart and live free. Moreover, Fornit's can recruit others to become fellow allies and support their constitutional right to be intolerant of any other view other than their own. Free speech, if free speech, even speech that we don't agree with.
Neo-Nazi organizations, and other radical right-wing groups like Fornit's have many things in common. More than you would realize. They are able to use hate speech, intolerance, and arrogance to advance their opinions, values, and beliefs. These types of organizations, right-wing radicals like Fornit's have every right to do so, and I pledge to defend their right to attack others through the written word. Why? Because freedom and free speech means something to me. Fornit's right to their opinion and the expression of that opinion is the freedom that is worth defending.
At Abundant Life Academy our hope is to lead others to be independent thinkers, life long learners, to question everything, and to find your own values and beliefs, without demeaning or debasing those who are different. You see, organizations like Fornit's have the right to be complete conformists, and to blindly follow the ideals of others, even if it is radical. This is Amercia! But at Abundant Life Academy our hope is that our students would feel free to express their own ideas and opinions, without taking the right of others to do the same. To us, the young person who is conformed through coercion is a young person that is not allowed to exercise true liberty. Forcing others to conform, and forced to become intolerant towards others beliefs, is a type of prison that we would want all others to avoid. We hope to encourage our students to stand for Fornit's right of expression.
Our joy is to find similarities and common ground with those who think differently than us. Our hope is that our students do not view the opinions of others to be "wrong", and their own views to be "right". What is wrong to just know that our views are "different" from one another? What is wrong with protecting each others right to express our unique views? We hope to teach people to stand up and fight for everyone's right to follow their heart, even when we do not agree with what they believe. True freedom and liberty can be found in standing for others and ensuring their right to exist, express, and to debate... without using coercion. Our fight is to ensure that Fornit's can express their view, not to condemn them, or to shut them off from following what they believe.
I can assure you of this. Fornit's is not investigating Abundant Life Academy. They have never visited our school, nor have they spoken to any one on our staff. They don't know our hearts, and they don't know our willingness to stand with them on common ground. But we invite them to visit. We invite them to investigate. We invite them to express themselves in person. We invite them to share their opinions with us, in person. I will guarantee that they will be allowed to express themselves, and they will be respected and honored, even if they strongly hate us.
I believe that if Fornit's did take our invite to visit they will find us to be the complete opposite of what they have portrayed us to be. Therefore, I must believe that if they did come and visit, and spend some quality time with us, they would correct the errors and fabrications that they have posted about us on the Internet. And, even if they don't correct the errors they have written, I have to believe that when they come face-to-face with us, they would be people of integrity, and stand with us, in common ground. To do so, would be to denounce intolerance, and to support our right of expression, and to stand with us in protecting everyone's constitutional right to free speech. Fornit's and Abundant Life Academy have a unique opportunity to stand on common ground and to fight for each other's freedom and liberty. I might not agree with Fornit's opinions, but I do believe that they would find that we have a lot more in common that either one of us realizes.
I would like to state several things... such as the fact that Fornit's accurately reported that Nevada CPS did come into ALA and took custodial rights of the students, removing them from our Nevada campus. But they left out some important facts. Fornit's did not report that the White Pine County District Court ruled that CPS of Nevade abused their authority, and in doing so violated the civil rights of Abundant Life Academy, our students, and their parents. What Fornit's did not report was the fact that most of the CPS personnel involved in the illegal removal of the sutdent's were fired or demoted for what they did. Careers of the some CPS employees were ruined. What Fornits did not report is the fact that during the original court hearing that CPSNevada employee who testified was found to have lied under oath Their original testimony was impeached. When given the chance to correct their testimony,and re-testify, all but one of the CPS people admitted to lying to the court, and subsequently changed their testimony. What Fornit's did not report is that Abundant Life Academy sued CPS Nevada, and the employees of CPS personally, and ALA won the law suit. What Fornit's failed to report is that Abundant Life Academy won both cases filed against the State of Nevada and Child Protective Services, and won a 1.14 million dollar verdict.
If Fornit's came to visit ALA, and found us to be different than what they have portrayed us to be, I believe that they would be more than willing to correct the mis-truths and misrepresentations they have posted about us. And, ALA would have to proclaim that Fornit's is seriously committed to protect the First Amendment Rights of all Americans, even Abundant Life Academy. We would be honored to do so. The invite is open ended.
Sincerely,
Craig Rogers

Due to the distance and experiences from our succesful attack on world terrorism, we have to decline. As Danes we feel, we have the information we need about everything in the world and settle with writing our judgment in our country. It is worked for more than 1,000 years for us. That doesn't mean that we feel that this invitation should not be given to other posters, who have the opportunity to drop by.

From: Ryan O'Neal Reveals Dark Reality of Farrah Fawcett's Last Days.

We are talking of Redmond O'Neils family (Former Casa by the Sea victim):

Quote
"I had just put the casket in the hearse and I was watching it drive away when a beautiful blond woman comes up and embraces me," O'Neal told Bennetts. "I said to her, 'You have a drink on you? You have a car?' She said, 'Daddy, it's me -- Tatum!' I was just trying to be funny with a strange Swedish woman, and it's my daughter. It's so sick."

"That's our relationship in a nutshell," Tatum later told Bennetts. "You make of it what you will." She sighed. "It had been a few years since we'd seen each other, and he was always a ladies' man, a bon vivant."

I guess that the father did not learn anything from the parent seminars.

4 Ariz. boys accused of raping 8-year-old girl, USAtoday

Quote
The outrage over the allegations intensified when police said the girl's parents criticized her after the attack and blamed her for bringing shame on the family.

"The father told the case worker and an officer in her presence that he didn't want her back. He said 'Take her, I don't want her,' " Hill said.

Hill cited the family's background as the reason the family shunned the girl. In some parts of Africa, women often are blamed for being raped for enticing men or simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Girls who are raped often are shunned by their families.

"It's a shame-based culture, so the crime is not as important as protecting the family name and the name of the community," said Tony Weedor, a Liberian refugee in Littleton, Colo., and co-founder of the CenterPoint International Foundation, which helps Liberians resettle in the United States

It is cruel but we have seen it before here in Denmark. Our authorities are looking for about 100 women and children, who have disappeared. Some end up in local programs in the middle east, some get "repaired" in their private parts, so the truth can be hidden from a husband.

Can it ever be stopped?

S.C. case looks on child obesity as child abuse. But is it? (USAtoday)

By letting the state remove a child who have been eaten behind his parents back, the behavior industry has got a open door to earn more money based on the parents fear.

The message could be:

You can see that your child is overeating and the authorities is standing in front of your house just waiting to place the child in fostercare. We can take the child to our boarding school where we can provide a structured, safe environment, starve the child and provide therapy, so you avoid loosing your child to the state.

While leaving the child on free could risk his life, it must be the only option for families. Just think of the consequences if the court rule that the child should be removed from his home. How many children will suffer the same fate or be sent to programs to avoid state involvement?

But it is a difficult cause because all can see that his overweight will shorten his life.
