An unfortunate case...

Deb, Deb, Deb....
Soooooooo.... I didn't know you were a psychic! Impressive! I'm glad you know what I'm going to say before I say it --- because I sure as hell haven't a clue!
***You might have requested that she elaborate on why she sensed you as "fishy" rather than attack and defend. Not too late to edit your posts and make that request. Put the ball back in her court. I say that from a purely selfish place- I would like to hear her imaginings. Read the archives. You're not the first to be attacked. ***
Umm... cowardly editing posts doesn't change damage already done. I was thinking about that earlier, how people edit their posts like 4 times... Edit what you wish, but if the person has already read it, as well as responded... ya can't really turn back the hands of time, now can you?
For your selfish appeal, Deborah... okay? My imaginings? Yes... I'm completely delusional. Aren't you the one who won't tell us what program your son attended? How elusive.
Busy night, paper to write.
Ciao.

Whoops, forgot to type in name and password. That was from me...
Froderik:
Melissa, I like your moxie! You can dish it out with the best of them, and only 18! :eek:
Richard, if you sincerely want to help the cause, you're welcome here as far as I'm concerned.

i agree, with frod

While I agree that Richard does have some... problems..., I think that he can change (he just needs to not fall for flamebait), and that every voice, even his, does count.
MelissaR, it is offensive to me how you talk about Richard "sitting at his fancy computer, the TV blaring in the background, sipping on a drink and having a snack thinking 'Oh, those poor kids'". I think you would say I do the same thing. What are we supposed to do? Fly to Jamaica and destroy the place single-handed? Many people simply cannot do much more than work part-time on information. Me, I do my part to tell people about the problem, but I simply can do very little to facilitate an actual shutdown of a facility or other real fixes of the problem.
Your reference to an "old goat bone" is odd. Are conditions at some facilities that bad? Or are you referring to the quintessential problem of Third World Hunger? If so, that's a) irrelevant and b) even harder for the average First World Everyjoe to do something about. Your reference to "fancy computer" also makes it seem like you see Richard's presumed relative wealth as part of the problem. If so, what is he supposed to do about it?
