<worst typo of the century> We're not trying to find the cure to cancer.

I think Wikipedia is fine for online forums discussions. After all we're not at the front line of research right here on AD. Obviously for academic papers and for research of any kind, Wikipedia is insufficient. But to be honest, I am surprised that people reject Wikipedia as a source here on...

Same here. <smile>

<smile> Thanks typeingtornado. We could definitely use some more happiness and positive energy on AD!

I understand that from your previous posts. And I have answered that question. I think compassion and love is the last resort. Love is inexhaustible. Love is infinite. I think you are expecting me to say "oh, well, as a last resort, then yes, okay, it's fine." But I am of the opinion that...

I have no idea who that is. All I am saying is that just as you won't use Calculus to explain gravity to a classroom of 12 year olds, likewise sometimes you don't need to go to the most sophisticated source to explain something. I don't mean to talk about people's intelligence levels, but just...

The fact that it is illegal doesn't stop it from happening, and so by sending my child to boot camp, I would still be making a conscious decision to expose my child to that kind of a situation. I think that a loving compassionate atmosphere fosters a lot more respect and self-discipline than a...

Thank you for the better analogy. I agree that is a much better analogy. Sometimes people are only looking for a grade 5 level explanation. In fact I am guilty myself of getting a bit too technical and details for some AD'ers on here. And Wiki often comes to my rescue when I don't know how to...

Can someone please provide a general description of the visual context for me and other blind AD'ers? Thanks.

I agree it's not fair to the public to be harmed by them. But I don't think boot camp stops them from harming others.

We are talking about how bad Wikipedia is. It's not all bad. If you just want to look something up out of curiosity, you don't always need to go straight to the proven manual of whatever. If you want to look up an actor's name, what's the big deal if you go to Wikipedia? I agree that it's not...

People don't just kill because they feel like it. People kill because they are in pain. There is a source of pain there that needs to be addressed. Once the person addresses that pain, then they begin on a process of healing. I don't see how it is the parent's fault for their kid killing...

First of all, big font does nothing for me. I'm on screen reader. Secondly, I get that you're talking about it as a last resort. I don't think boot camp is a solution. I think the last resort should be an actual solution. I don't think boot camp fits under the category of "solutions" for...

I agree. But see there is a crucial difference between a teenager getting in a car accident or hurting others. They're not being forced by other people to crash a car. The part that scares me the most about boot camps is that parents subject their children to this. That really freaks me out that...

<shudder>

Some is too much. Even if only one person in boot camp is abused, that is one too many.

How many kids that are sent to boot camps have misdiagnosed or undiagnosed mental illness? I would be interested to know.
