"Nihilanthic,
Surely I don't have a doctorate huh? I'm sorry to inform you that while I have not yet completed my doctorate i have been accepted into an Ivy League University where I will do so. Guess what the topic of my dissertation will be! Yep, you've guessed it right, "Reducing Juvenile Recidivism: Evaluating the Effect of Long Term Residential Treatment Centers." In case any of you are unaware recidivism is defined as: "A tendency to lapse into a previous pattern of behavior." You're correct in that I cannot yet guarantee whatever the overall effects will be, at the conclusion of my research however I hypothesize that the recidivism rate of those who have graduated from residential treatment centers will be lower than those "troubled" teens who either never had the opportunity to attend a program or were pulled before completion.
I'm not quite sure why some of you seem to have an inability to express yourselves without the use of four letter words; I hope that you do understand that the use of such words as self expression is a outward sign of your inward ignorance!:D"
I can curse all I awnt, it doesnt mean its not true. 1+1=2, dammit. And, the fucking Riemann Zeta Hypothesis states that every fucking non-trivial zero's real part is 1/2. PS, its fucking complex, and still unproven, dammit, though its almost a forgone conclusion that its true, dammit.
Anywho, "You're correct in that I cannot yet guarantee whatever the overall effects will be, at the conclusion of my research however I hypothesize that the recidivism rate of those who have graduated from residential treatment centers will be lower than those "troubled" teens who either never had the opportunity to attend a program or were pulled before completion." congrats, you got a fucking hypothesis.
SHOW SOME DATA OR SHUT THE HELL UP. Ive got so many people here saying they did more drugs or fucked around MORE after the program because of the trauma of it Id love to see what you could possibly come up with, furthermore how would you find data on recidivism of those who werent put in the programs? Good luck, however MOST troubled kids dont go in programs and do fine.
Also, you still havent demonstarted HOW the programs do anything, or WHAT they do.
Why not start now? You keep saying you will do this and that and the other and speak of what will happen... yet you dont speak your name or what college you go to! Whereas Perrigaud told us her name and where she went.
Jesus christ, why am I talking to you? You cant even say what the programs do or how they do it.
I told all four that there are going to be some times where we don't
agree with each other, but that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it
would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator.
