Paul is definitely a welcome guest here at Fornits.com. I am not a regular here because I say it like it is, just like Paul. Majority opinion doesn't and has never worked well for me ...in fact, you and Paul seem to be in agreement on this general fact even though you don't realize it.
Majority opinion got your ass fucking kicked day in and day out, and majority rule is what got you into Straight in the first place. Obviously a bunch of old farts wanted you to be there, wanted some excuse as to why they couldn't deal with you and so they formed Straight ...what a great way to get rid of you under the agreements of every one who had power over you as a child. All it took was three or four Seedlings, and some new blood, and Snap: there you are sittin on front row in your own piss and gettin spit on while your parents paid for conversations they weren't a part of.
So, yeah...in many ways...you deserved to be there for what you did and who you knew. But Paul, if I understand it correctly, doesn't realize although we might not have been the most angelic of children ... majority opinion probably started out something like this:
Those conversations: a few of the founders of Straight swore up and down that no abuse would happen in Straight like it did in the Seed. Then somewhere a couple of them were having conversations and agreed to be a bit more 'firm' with the children, that slackers would not be so much tolerated. School would have been allowed to begin with until some more people got to talking and got their minds into the mix about pyramid scamming in Straight. That's how we went national, I was in the Straight headquarters where it all had become national.
But anyways, around early '80 or before, later on down the line Straight staff saw all the abuse that was going on and they quit. Straight now needs staff. Hell, during my day we were pulling motherfuckers right off the street, no joke, who were no more than two days sober. After their first paycheck they did what you've done...they quit. We had to fire one bitch, Rebecca, for molesting to male patients, she was a Senior with a degree and no boyfriend ...the boys never complained. One of our staff got busted for cocaine use, I forget her name, but her cohorts worked with her there. A couple of friends from Saint Petersburg high, friends of another patient who came on staff later, they wound up coming on staff with no experience. It was fun watching them sleep in group as trainees.
Hey, we'll take the kids out of school and society ...and the rest pretty much goes just like that to the point where the humanitarian offices literally had to step in and start doing child abuse investigations.
Lots of times I got put on the girl's side, that never worked well cos I always stared at their crotches and tried to cop a feel or w/e. They were marathoning me in the bathroom. When I was in Straight and I got put in time out rooms for kicking and yelling there were a few oldcomer patients later on who cleared it with staff that I not be allowed to eat until I wrote my M.I.s. That went on for four days at one point. The next M.I. I wrote was so convincing that I got a double helping of lunch that day. I got hungry. I got hoodwinked, and my family, into Straight because my family didn't know how to hire a fucking babysitter. We were free to roam the streets while mom and dad worked and didn't communicate with one another. To say that it is my fault I was such an ass to land in a child chop shop is one sense of the truth, but it is a direct reflection on someone else's decision who had legal control over me at the time. There are just too many sides to your opinion, P., that you are not considering here. You sound more like a clever heckler than an informed individual with an original thought here. You should look back over some of GregFL's posts, they are alot like yours ...not very convincing at all. Of course, he's an admin so watch your back, nigger.
Some of the shit I did after Straight would be so much more deserving of the things that were done to me back in the eightees when I was but a lass. I probably deserve to get marathoned for some of the shit I say on here that gets deleted from time to time, too. lol. I don't see folks lined up at my door trying to take away my food when I say things like "hey, Paul, I fucked your mother this last weekend". I said that once to a guy named Matt who was doing milk steroids and powders. He was on setback and when staff heard about it they laffed, but stood me up in group and let loose for an hour or so ... not because he deserved it for picking on me but because that's the way Straight worked.
Majority opinion in democracy, in the theories of Mill, leads to tyranny.
Majority opinion is simply the society we live in, and you are welcome to speak your particular perception on critical truth as I have proven again and again but it is never without consequences from the majority. Paul, if I ever see you in my neck of the woods I'll bust open your nose open for ya', bub.
You are welcome to your opinion so long as it does no harm to the majority.
