But Ginger; you were in the worst of the worst. Beyond belife bad.
Even bad programs aren't that bad.
There Are good programs. . .
And if there were real consequences to operating a bad program, there'd be a lot less of them. . .
As I recall, you weren't ever really in trouble; but lets pretend you where; Do you not think it possible, had you been in a different setting; a good program; you might not have the stories of alumni coming to such a bad end; and you might be greatful for the help you got?
Nice vacuously fallacious load of shit there...
No, really. I can't find a nice way to describe what a load of crap there is. Relativistic nonsense like "even bad programs are not that bad?"
Huh?
There is no such thing as a good program! A 'program' is a place that takes kids because their parents pay the program money, not becuase they need anything... they don't treat them either, just make them complete a level-system and emotional growth nonsense, and spit out a stepford kid.
Actual therapy is OFFERED, not forced, and only when necessary... not because an ed-CON and someone with more money than brains said so.
All of this talk of forced help is a load of shit. No program is set up to handle someone who needs to be put somewhere to protect them self from them self or from others (note how programs end to kick those kids out... or in WWASPS case send them to Jamaica?) so that argument falls on its face anyway... as does the whole "exit plan". Funny how the argument makes a 180* about face when the kid has rights again, and its about loving/respecting/appreciating the parent, not the kid needing a damn thing, huh?
Can the sophistry, buddy. Bullshit is bullshit no matter how hard you try to polish it.
