Could Carey be right? His website is off the wall, obviously a young kid and needing attention.How long was he in the program? 4-5 months? Pleeeeeezzzzeeeee There are survivors that were there years. But even that short time is terrible, but he certianly isnt the expert either. Ego trip maybe?

Which website are you talking about, coldwaterthemovie.com? That's the producer's site.
The movie is fiction based on reality. It's very like Marshal Mathers' depiction of Rabit in the movie 8 Mile. There is no Rabbit, no little sister, none of the characters are real characters. But 8 Mile is real and so are rap duels and street brawls and beat-downs and drunken mothers with abusive boyfriends.
I've never been in the area of 8 Mile, on either side. But from what I hear from friends who know the area, this fictional story gave a pretty good and thoughtful depiction of life there. If Coldwater comes as close as that, I'm a happy camper. "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."

The only entitlement issue is the one that parents in this country seem to have regarding the affection of their children. If they don't want to hug you and they prefer the company of their friends to a parent with a new spouse every other year than who can blame them?
I know lets send them off to be beaten, brainwashed, raped, starved, and tortured. That will sure fix the problem.

Face, you remember Brian Seeber's tearful testimony at the conference in Bethesda?
"Narcotics have been systematically scapegoated and demonized. The idea that anyone can use drugs and escape a horrible fate is an anathema to these idiots. I predict that in the near future right-wingers will use drug hysteria as a pretext to set up an international police apparatus."

Well, I can't speak for anyone else but I have visited Ryan's website and after looking at the photo gallery of pictures of Ryan showcasing his television appearances, there's no doubt in my mind what turns this kid on. His own publicity! Reading his poetry only intensified my feelings of disgust for this kid and anyone else that views themselves as some kind of hero when nothing could be further from the truth.

it is a bit egotistical isnt it. guess he is just a kid.

i guess he is not a lead plaintiff as the show stated he was hopig to join the class action. what will that do for his ego? wonder if the firm knows he is promoting himself with their name on it.
