hey Amanda my dad used to whistle at us then point right in front of him and say "come here." and if we hung back he said "right here, right in front of me." ... :roll:

that's interesting about the fatty & salty diet, i never heard that. the US Govt is practicing behavior modification on us in preparation for the 4th Reich, which it seems is going to resemble 1984 by George Orwell.

well it's not a sure thing yet. watch what global warming does. i wonder what will happen when the Antarctic ice shelf slides into the ocean.

do i ever need some Bob Marley right about now.

I gotta take the diet stuff w/ a grain of salt (uh... no pun intended). It's hard to say if it's intentional or not because those high carb, low protien diets are pretty much normal for so many people. Now, I don't think it's out of line at all to discuss the possibility that the FDA "food pyramid" as it's been drawn in recent years was somehow intentionally rigged just so. But, again, prove it! We can't. Nor can we disprove it. If there was any dark intention behind it, nobody put it in writing in any official filing or anything.

It's just one of those thangs. We tell the troubled parent industry that if they really want to take excellent care of the kids they say they want to help, feed them lots of fruit and veggies and stuff. And they respond w/ a resounding silence. We tell the public school system the same thing; same response. Draw your own implications.

The aftercare "plan" looks like it was written by a lunatic on the order of Pinkie and the Brain! I think those rules are rather strict for a 10yo, let alone a young adult. I can't imagine that anyone has ever actually followed a plan like that. And it's amazing to me (still) that parents who have spent their whole lives living out in the real world can look at this stuff and say "Yeah! That makes sense!"

Anybody care to offer a comparison to life in the 7th Step Society?

Hey yo,
Yeah, look at the american diet. Cheesburgers. french fries (oh excuse me, FREEDOM fries :roll:) and milkshakes. Have you guys ever seen Super size me? OR read Fast Food Nation? The shit they try to pass off as food in this country is scary. Well, unfortunatly if the food dosnt kill us, well all probably be blown to smitherines long before global warming takes its final toll. Sorry I know thats really pessimistic and all, but with Bush in power, I just dont feel safe. I wouldnt be supprised if we all die in a global nuclear holocaust before my daughter turns 10!

FKA,
Cant parents be so cruel? I was talking to my Mom about the program the other day and I told her that I feel like the reason I was so depressed and angry as a child didnt have anything to do with her parenting. She was a really good Mom. It was my step mom who ruind my self esteem and crushed any hope I had to become who I wanted to be. She beat us with belts on our bare bottoms, she would line all the kids up and crack a bull whip behind us until one of us confessed to breaking a rule, she would make us sit with a bar of soap in our mouth for a really long time for talking back to her. Funny thing about that is my sister does the same shit to her child now. Even though she knows my step moms way is the wrong way. Guess you can be brainwashed by your parents too. She called us all names and used to tell me (and still does) that she wants to divorce my Dad because he is such a horrible this and a that. She belongs in a fucking program so she can experience the fear and intimidation and the hoplessness.

Ginger,
In Fast Food Nation, they talk about the school lunches they offer to kids. The beef they use is the lowest grade and just borderline acceptable beef they offer to the US. They did a study in one school for "special needs" kids. Not mentally challenges kids, but kids who were disobedient and didnt do well in school. They changed their diet to helathy food, no high salt, high carb, high fat. They changed to low salt, normal carb, low fat, normal helathy balanced diet and the kids grades actually improved and they felt more awake, more motivated, and more positive. I know when I eat high salt high fat foods, I feel lethargic and depressed and when I eat well and exercise, I have energy and feel just generally better.

The original food pyramid didnt have meat on it. It was a vegitarian diet. Cant remember where I read that, in one of my vegan cookbooks I think. I'll see if I can find more info on it if your interested.

NO ONE follows their Home Contract. But the program assholes say its because the kids are manipulative and oppositional, not because it is unreasonable. Alot of parents dont really expect their kid to follow that guideline. My friend Ashley (not Perri) had a one page short to the point contract that basically said Im 18 and I can make my own rules. She graduated so I think they only force kids who are under 18 and not close to turning it to follow those strict guidelins. I was the only person who survived 6 months of that BS and I never got to level 6. I quit before that cuz it was impossible to follow those rules as an 18 year old in college.

Whats the 7th step society? A stright thing?
