Crazy. I just watched The Secret w/ a friend who's into mysticism, comparative religion n such. He viewed it as an example of black magic in modern practice. The language reminded me of WWASPie lingo. Had no idea of this connection.

Not finding any place in the admin where anonymous or guest has permission to bump. HOWEVER, we badly need an upgrade! And I'm just afraid to start it in case something goes wrong and the library closes and I have to go home and forget where I left off and fuck everything up :suicide: . Can someone please, pretty please, volunteer to do a backup and upgrade for us?

CAN ~ Collective Action Network / Salem for youth ranch

There has been a suicide @ this place. Please try & find anyone who has been there or who knows any of the staff. Here's all I could find right off (thanks Angela)

Please be gentle & level headed in your statements. These people are grieving & probably sincerey believe that this place tried & failed to help their boy. If we can reach them we may be able to save their two surviving kids from being helped.

Holy shit! I wanna roll with youuuuuu! LOL
Didn't get a chance to hear last night's show. Silly phone wouldn't play any of the streams that I tried and my internet access is limited as hell since some jack ass stole my computer. Hope it went well. I like your idea, Che. Wouldn't have thought of it cause Seed/Straight staff wouldn't be caught dead in a bar. Nother nifty idea I've tossed around. Call up the *other* kind of escort services, ask them to do to your 16yo daughter what teen escorts do. Play THAT on youtube.
And yes, no, I have just about 0 faith in regulation to do anything meaningful or useful. When they hung signs on the walls in Straigt saying "Call 1-800-xxx-xxxx to report abuse" it was demoralizing. The well intended bastards forgot to include regulations preventing us being slammed to the floor for reaching for a phone.
But the folks behind the legislation are going to go full bore with it anyway so we may as well take what we can get. The legislative process generates lots of documentation, statements, evidene.... publicity. Any publicity is good publicity, right? And at least it might actually cause *some* better access by CYS types to these programs. You dance right close to the nut of the prblem, Che. The real issue is not a lack of laws and regulations against torture. It's a broad conspiracy among cops et all to unsee it even when we shove it right in their faces. THAT has got to change if our society is to go down in history as anything other than monsters.

Straight, Inc. and Derivatives / Re: Brian Dodd: Straight Survivor or Phoney Baloney?

Not sure, but I think someone did say they remembered Brian from their time in. Regardless, I believe him. I think he's just one of the walking wounded, that's all. As a class, we are some fucked up cup cakes. Try to understand and not condemn, please.

Hey folks,
I haven't been around much, but I've been in touch w/ a few folk. We're going back to the Old Deal. No more moderators, except in a few forums. No global moderation. No appeals process. We're only going to try to manage spam and flooding again. Leme poke around and remember how to do this.

The Troubled Teen Industry / Re: What is a parent to do?
« on: April 21, 2011, 04:44:45 PM »Quote from: "Dysfunction Junction"
Unmitigated troll fest. Whooter shows up a few days ago and all of a sudden we have 2 new troubled parents and a pack of first time posters offering advice (or "advise") to the fake parents. We may have to contact the offices of Troll Control Inc. to drop a troll bomb in this thread. Did you ever think to stop feeding the stray trolls? Probably not.
That's my take. I've banned the new shooter by ip. When I get a little more up to speed on things it mey be time to start making formal complaints to svc. Providers.

The Seed Discussion Forum / Re: Questions about Arthur R. Barker and the Seed
« on: January 26, 2011, 07:36:39 PM »
I only have time to skim this thread, so forgive me if I'm repeating anything.
The Seed started out on the beach in Ft. Lauderdale, expanded to St. Pete, Cleveland, briefely to New York and Miami. After the Ervin report on the Federal Role in Behavior Modification and Art's refusal to play anything less than the God role in his cult, they lost the Federal funding. They didn't shut down, though, and he didn't scoot to Cleveland. They just quit taking minors for awhile till the heat was off and retracted into a small, reclusive but extremely lucrative cult back in Ft. Lauderdale till around 2000 or so. At that time, an event occurred which, according to 'old timers', has come to be known as "The Rap From Hell", during which the Libbi and Art factions had it out for the final time, tore the blanket and disincorporated The Seed, Inc.
Ask GregFL for more details. Also, if you happen across a full color Seed logo, please pass it along!
Thanks,
Ginger
