[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]

It doesn’t matter why anyone does or does not want to return. It’s not their decision as to whether or not the camp should be allowed to reopen as a public service business under current ownership. [/quote]

[b]It definitely matters[/b] why in the world people would want to return under these circumstances. [/quote]

Why do you need to know this? How does that affect your life?
