I agree; thisis supposed to be the one place where we AREN'T picked on. This is supposed to be an escape, a place just for us, whatever. That's why it was made in the first place.


A 19-year-old autistic student at the Judge Rotenberg Center refused to eat, and all through the bus ride clutched her stomach. All day at school she sat on a sofa in the classroom, refusing to do her work. She was punished with spatula spankings, muscle squeezes, ammonia inhalings, and more. Finally they realized she actually had a medical problem and that's why she didn't get up to do her work. She died after 1 in the morning on the operating table.

That makes me so sad and angry.

P.S. I'm trying not to rant too much, I'm sorry for this little slipback.


If someone does that again, send me their name :evil:

A former staffer at the Judge Rotenberg Center told a reporter that all day the screams of students echo through the halls!

A reporter tried the shock the Judge Rotenberg uses on students and it was the longest 2 seconds of her life. :)

the Judge Rotenberg Center is named after the judge that approved the shock treatment for its residents.

:roll:
It means "mong", which is short for "mongoloid".
I'm just kinda taking the piss out of the NT trolls who come here.

Many of the students at the Judge Rotenberg Center have their wrists or ankles restrained while going to and from school.

Cildren should be taught about the Holocaust from a young age. They should be taught about Theresienstadt, which the Judge Rotenberg Center reminds me of. The Nazis made it look all attractive and made fake theater and coffee shop, and treated the inmates a little better there and took pictures of happy Jews in a city of their own made by the Nazis, out of the way of the other demographics. They only took pictures of the happy healthy Jews who had special jobs as some kind of servant for SS officers, not the ones who were worked to death, and they only showed inspectors one camp-- that one. They didn't show them Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, Belzec, Gros-Rosen, Buchenwald, Treblinka, or any of the others. The ones that weren't so pretty.


I think the Judge Rotenberg Center is the Terezin of the American Holocaust.

Even though I'm not vegetarian anymore, the whole omnivore VS. vegetarian/vegan still really pisses me off! Sure, a very few vegetarians and vegans can be annoying when they tell you the truth about the meat industry, but most of them don't give a flying fork what you eat. And it does not justify non-vegetarians waving meat in their faces and spurting BS about how meat is good for you, how broccoli feels pain when it's harvested, how snakes, rabbits and mice get cought in crop rotaters. It does not justify 20 non-veggos bashing 1 vegan! I would never bash someone for their eating habits (unless of course, they were eating babies, or torturing cats and dogs, then killing and eating them, as they believe that torture equals taste, which they do in some countries.) I don't really care who's in the wrong, I don't care which way of life is healthier, BOTH GROUPS JUST NEED TO GET OFF THEIR SOAP BOXES AND JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!! (Go ahead and not bother to read this rant and just assume that I'm a narrow-minded vegan as*hole, as some member here kindly described me as once, just whining about carnivours killing and eating innocent animals. It's much easier than actually paying attention and trying to bring peace between both groups.)

Next person to tell me that there's a connection between vaccines and autism will get a virtual ass kicking.

The thing is, that vegetarians believe that they have the moral high ground, is so infuriating. Also, meat IS good for you. It's been proven that kids who are fed vegan diets don't grow up so well. Humans need protein and fatty acids from lesser animals for the proper growth of the brain. Adults might not need it so much, but children certainly do. And supplement tablets just don't do the job.
Sorry.
It's just a topic which pisses me off equally, in the opposite way. But I don't tend to rant that much about it, just when it's brought up.
