Was it suggested by staff? Who's idea was it?
This I believe: That the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: The freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: Any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual.

You know, its questions like this that really freak my mind sometimes. Im not being negative to you 0010, just trying to find out if any one understands.....
When I stop to think about things like, who did what and why or when or whose idea it was.....its like my mind rejects those questions. They dont belong. They dont belong, because in the program we didnt ask, we didnt even entertain the idea of such questions. It was just accepted. So and so just got bodyslammed for looking at the guys side, period. There was no why or who. It just was. Of course, now I know better, however when I read stuff like this and I try to process a response....I can hear the cogs jamming in my brain about it. Like, how could anyone KNOW whos idea it was? It seemed there were no "ideas", only absolutes...no matter how sinister or wrong they were. Anyway, just something I thought Id throw out...anyone get this too?
PS, Brian McMillan....I always remember his face in my mind but not his name, thanks for the jog. He was on Jr staff when I went in. He seemed pretty okay for staff, but I think he had a duality that came out when he was leading raps with people like CV and such."

I totally get you. But the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the words "hog-tied" is Randall Hinton. If this Caesar Venegoni (chief of police?) character is anything like Randall, he's a good 'old boy with the attitude of, "Any means of force necessary." He thinks he doing his part and his job, and that if that kid didn't get away he succeeded. I was mainly asking that question for journalistic purposes. You know like, where did that idea originate from? Or was it, as you suggested Carmel, an instinct that places like Straight, Inc. bring out in people? You know, like in the book, ?Lord of the Flies.? There have been studies showing the results of Positive Peer Culture (PPC) bringing this instinct out in kids who are given authority and control over their peers in an isolated setting. The chain of command unfolds and usually the most sadistic rise to the top first.
I really agree that this should remain an open discussion thread on The Dallas Straights. I had already left Dallas by this time, but that doesn't make any of it less important to me.

It is, Anon.
But unlike you, some of us around here havent FULLY dispensed with common courtesy. Id like to think with all of your prolific ranting that you are a bit smarter than that, Anon. Someone like you should understand my meaning and intent behind the comment. Unless of course, you find it more appealing to just say some shit like that in order to aggravate or get a rise out of someone. Ninny ninny boo boo works too, Anon....give it a try. At least people will take YOUR posts for what they are intended if you said it like that.
Let me guess. Im a pedophile, a straightling, a whore, a smelly snatch, I enjoy slander and the abuse of children, I am on Semblers payroll and suck his junk regulary, I support other smelly snatches who lie and cheat and steal and bring the loot all back to the smelly snatch club where we dance around the pile and give sacrifice to the gods of the blue chair......did I leave anything out? Hopefully not, because if I did you might have more to post on this thread.

Exactly. We can either give Ginger this false power to let abuse and slander keep on happening on fornits, or we can all say we are through with it. We decide.
Carmel, if for a moment you could please consider the possibility that the person you think is making these posts is not actually the person making these points, we might have a better chance at getting somewhere in this discussion.
