[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think if the shrieking harpy in here actually knew the families who send their kids to this camp they would rethink their very vocal stance. These extremely wealthy, right wing religious families don't spend a second of their day worrying about random elderly women in Virginia or thereabouts. Their kids will just go to another camp if it doesn't work out.[/quote]

You’re dead wrong! We knew several children at that camp in that flood.  One was a friend of my daughter’s a classmate.  Their families care very much about others.  These are not right wing people at all. Some are slightly right of center, some slightly left - none on the wings - ZERO!  And they all care about others.   Many families are still grieving, including mine.  You should have compassion, especially as you are making assumptions about the compassion of others.[/quote]

Be honest. The camp took a serious religious turn recently. These people are my friends, neighbors, and my kid's classmates. [/quote]

They’re religious- true. It’s always been a religious camp.  Are you saying religious people don’t deserve compassion if their children die? Are you saying religious people all had right political affiliations that don’t align with yours, therefore they don’t deserve compassion?[/quote]

I'm saying their religion is a huge reason why they want to return to camp and that's why people here are struggling to understand their motivation. They have completely different world views. The returning campers aren't asking for anything from the people here, certainly not their compassion. I know returning campers and I certainly don't question them or discuss it with them. We are not the same, but it's their decision to make.[/quote]

You keep bringing this up. We are not trying to discuss it with them. We are discussing it amongst ourselves. It is a bizarre, real-world case study in people acting adverse to their own interests. [/quote]

[b]But you are talking about real people that some of us know. Imagine that you knew these people. [/b]People are complex.[/quote]

Please explain what this means. Since you are “not upset.”[/quote]

Lol you just don't quit. It's not upsetting that you're talking about people I know. Just that the things they are saying such as they don't care about their kids, isn't true at all. Which you wouldn't possibly know, because you don't actually know them.[/quote]

The point we are all trying to make is that their judgment is clouded. I’m sure they do care about their kids but they are making a terrible decision to place their trust in this camp.

Both things can be true. They care about their kids. This is a bad choice. [/quote]

You don't know that. AT ALL. Worry about the decisions you make for your own kids. If you even have any. 
[/quote]

It’s an objectively bad choice. It is not just my opinion. Did you even watch the hearings? Many lawmakers want the camp permanently closed. They do not want campers there ever again. [/quote]

OK great. Close the camp. Leave the families alone FFS. It's not that deep.
