The impact of this forum

--- Quote from: "grad1" ---My 9 year old daughter had another kid ask her if I was her grandfather the other day. WOW. I think I am still young at 53. My mother was 41 when I went into the Seed. Hard to believe.

I know that a lot of people hated those songs at the Seed, but I sang some of them to my daughter at bedtime and in the AM. I remembered that Robert would get into it in 74, "You got to get up every morning with a smile on your face.." My attitude really sucked after being sleep deprived and hearing that song.

However, I still feel that I would be much more messed up if I hadn't gone to the Seed and did all those silly things.

I too beleive that this forum has had a great impact and we all can learn from it. I disagree with some of the perspectives presented here, but I think I listen more to alternative positions on this forum than I do in any other part of my life when others have a different perspective than mine.

In reading through some old posts, I saw how supportive people have been to those in trouble or going through a tough time. Maybe that is something we all learned back then.

Wow.  That's surprising.  From my perspective, the only thing that The Seed taught was how to verbally eviscerate a human being.

GregFL:
Well that and how to take an organization down the slippery slope into cultdom, and that you can't cure society's ills by "modifying" someone. Also, that sometimes the cure can be worse than the disease. another one, "love" isn't a catch phrase and any organization that wants you to love the leader...run like hell. I could rattle these off all day!  



Cleveland, being a 49 year old dad is awesome.  Also, it caused me to get back in the gym and start worrying about staying young again.  Some day we should all get together and have a cook out or some type of get together.  That would be a hoot.  I could just see the supporters and detractors of the seed all sitting around bullshitting and recalling memories.  what a day that would be!

cleveland:
Good to hear all of these responses, yeah and nay.

As usual, I am in the middle!

As far as being an older dad, yeah, it's pretty awesome. Another Seed grad, who I contacted thru this forum, told me that she was sad that so many Seed kids didn't get the chance to be parents - especially those, like myself, who stuck around for a long time.

The other day my daughter touched my gray hair and said, "Daddy, you look like a Popa!" That's her word for grampa. Sigh...

Johnny G:
I am into the 50 yr old dad thing, too

I look around and see how late in the game I started, but it is a hoot!  I get to be the old guy at the father daughter stuff.

30 years! and it is nothing like yesterday!  It is just bits and pieces -
