[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][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]

Again with the ignorance and hubris. You don't have all of the facts. You don't know them. You have not experienced what they went through. You don't know their motivations. Stop judging them and MYOFB.

So funny. Those of us questioning the parents decisions to send their daughters to that camp clearly have more of the facts than you or they do.[/quote]

No, you don't have more facts than the families [u]who were actually there[/u], FFS. You're mental.

The camp could have allowed the girls to walk 60 for 60 seconds up a hill and they would have lived. Instead they made them stay in their cabins and they died. I don’t need to “be there” to understand that this level of failure is criminal and has nothing to do with the river and everything to do with terrible risk assessment. No one should trust them with children ever again. It’s so painfully obvious to everyone not in the cult.[/quote]

In hindsight yes, but at the time it was dark and they opted to shelter in place which in many occurrences is the right thing to do. But now everyone's an armchair quarterback. What if in trying to escape they had been swept away in the current?[/quote]

That why you evacuate BEFORE the water is in the cabins. These return to camp people and their over the top suffering of their immensely privileged children not being able to go to camp is mad! It’s like a weird group psychosis. [/quote]

What’s weird is you thinking you know anything about their situation.

[/quote]

Well it’s a good thing they got the horses and canoes to safety! Thank goodness they had the presence of mind to do that at least. [/quote]

The families?

You seem to be having trouble following the thread.
