This is supposed to be a wilderness program, you know, hardship, endurance,spartan, all that?

All you're doing--from your comfortable seat by a computer terminal--is regurgitate stupid lame bureaucratic rules from various governmental entities---I'd much rather leave setting the limits to somebody who is actually a wilderness type--not some lame bureaucrat who is even more sessile than your average poster here

Maybe this program sounds rigorous to you but obviously kids are getting through it fine (and don't give me a bunch of crap about some rare case where a kid with a disease or something died in one of these programs---that's not what we're talking about here and you know it)

And bottom line: it helped Doug among (I bet) plenty of others: I'll take the word of somebody who was actually in the program over somebody talking about it on a computer terminal (like you) any day of the week

Admit it--you just hate these programs and are looking for any old way to nit pick at them

Bottom line: I have personal experience with a program and don't feel they are beneficial. Since I am on a computer terminal, am I unbelievable? Are you not on a computer-- please enlighten us?

:roll: Sometimes you think you are speaking to adults and then they say something like this.

This programs are pulling in an easy million bucks a year with little to no overhead.

I mean, they hike on free land, do they not?

The parents pay for all the supplies.

This is a virtual gold mine.

Don't let the teen helper wannabee's fool ya.

It's the money, stupid.

We're not just a bunch of people who don't like this place. Most of us on here were in places that also tried to completely break our spirits, minds, and anything else they could all in the name of LOVE. We know the same thing when we see it in another program and also are very aware that those who go through it and come out believing in the program are probably not thinking for themselves or are even aware of what just happened to them. That's their goal and what these sorts of places are designed to do. We know what it is because we've been there.

How did you get your opinion on the place?

Yeah since when did brainwashing people become synonymous with Love. Yeah...I love my boyfriend so much that whenever he does things that aren't good, I simply lock him in the house, only feed him a slice of bread a day, tell him over and over how "bad" he is and how much I love him, and make him talk about how he feels. When he starts talking about how sorry he is for everything, then I start to give him some more bread. After all, he's really earned it. He's worked hard and is starting to realize what true Love is. After a time, I let him out in the backyard, but only under close supervision. You see, he is still fairly "bad" and must be monitored. It's for his own good. He is slowly starting to realize just how much I love him, and becomes more thankful for my close and loving attention. He starts to agree with me more. I let him in the front yard. One day, I let him write in his diary, although I go later while he is asleep and read the entry. I read all about how grateful he is for my loving care. How much he has grown and how he hopes one day to be able to earn my trust. The next day I reward him with a tuna sandwich. He is delighted!! We both have a great day.

ETC....
