Well, I don't think anyone would pay her $1.00/hour, or maybe sometimes, for comic value.


And your advice that I should "play nice" and not call the web rats here "losers", well, I'll take my chances on turning somebody off with vocabulary, thanks anyway. "Losers" is pretty tame compared to most posts here, maybe even your own---but then you agree with those opinions---I guess the standard is a little different there, isn't it?

Thanks for the advice---it's about what I'd expect and so I take it for what it is clearly worth.  So your little cadre of world saviors can keep toking up and patting each other on the back as the industry you're bashing grows and prospers. In this insulated little fornits bubble, wonder how long it's going to take for you to figure out that you've lost.

"You people still don't get it...this site is just about preaching to the choir....people out in the world just think you have a wierd obsession with boarding schools or are against parental discipline and control completely



Teen Advocate and Isaic's List or whatever the hell it's called are just front organizations undermining parental decision-making when kids get off track. They trump up everything and if some isolated tragedy does happen they try to exaggerate and lie about that as much as they can too



BTW, one big reason kids get off track is that the kind of people who post here and who involve themselves with these front groups try to get a message out in society that kids should not listen to parents...they should drug and booze and whore it up and never ever be responsible...and oh no, they're being victimized again because their parents tried to put them some place away from their bad habits



So I for one don't believe a thing that comes out of the mouths of losers who are part of the anti-therapeutic boarding-school/wilderness-industry: that would include YOU



Good news is the society has gone beyond you trouble makers, I predict these reality shcws will lead to waiting lists at the existing programs and the creation of many, many more"

You wanna tell me what's so "therapeutic" about hiking kids to death?

Or restraining them to death?

Curious. If the rest of us here are 'losers' as you say, what would that make you?

Deborah:
Trouble makers? You people? Who?

You have mischaracterized a large number of people on this site. On what do you based such a broad, sweeping judgment?

101 deaths does not constitute a few ?isolated? tragedies and certainly is worth of discussion and critique. Who else in society is talking about the real risks and abuses? TAUSA and ISAC both function with the utmost integrity. The claims at ISAC are supported with affidavits- hardly ?trumped up exaggerations. How do they ?undermine parental decision-making?? If you took your blinders off you could see that they actually advocate for the safety of kids, which may be a foreign concept to you. Consumer protection? like recalling faulty toys.

Now, your next comment is a prime example of exaggeration:
?BTW, one big reason kids get off track is that the kind of people who post here and who involve themselves with these front groups try to get a message out in society that kids should not listen to parents...they should drug and booze and whore it up and never ever be responsible...and oh no, they're being victimized again because their parents tried to put them some place away from their bad habits.?

Was there a specific report at TA or ISAC that you feel is inaccurate, or was that yet again another sweeping judgment?

Defend your comment that we ?antis? are against parental discipline and control.  The overwhelming majority of opinions here are that parents should parent, which includes discipline. Parents aren?t parenting or disciplining their kid when they ship them to a BM warehouse. They in fact have abdicated responsibility. ?Control? is rarely a useful strategy; and only employed by those who are too ignorant to know anything else to do.

PS.. Just curious if you are at all related to Paul.

Antigen:
I predict that a whole lot of people will buy into the troubled parent industry based on the tempered down version of it they see on Brat Camp. They'll be extremely upset w/ the actual product and, likely, sue enmass. Overall, I think this will backfire. Time will tell.
