I may have to move out of the state
in order to distance myself from the scandal. I caught my own kids building a cushion fort in the bonus room the other day and had no idea what they
were really up too...This article sheds some light as to what has been going on for years and not just in Utah.

I'm 51
and my brothers 6 years older. And we are from the Berkshires.
If this kind of thing is going on down here and I am not aware of it, I take back everything good I have ever said about this place!!
And I'd stay away from feeding them bean burritos!

this whole scandal thing sickens me.
I was the oldest of 3 boys and I know for damn sure that the abuses never went past farting at the cushion-fort entrance. Never in a hundred years
would I have rubbed a dirty sock in my brothers face.
JR, as a younger sibling, can you speak of the torture that you endured at Ft. Berkshire or is it too painful. If you have repressed the memories I
apologize for making you confront the horrors of your past.

Not the sock! Anything but the sock!
As Dr. Phil might say:
There are 14 traits of a "cereal" killer. Keith has 9 of them.

I actually like the direction Pablo has taken this thread even better. At least I think we can all agree that this kind of brother treatment is
universal among cultures and good for the soul and just plain funny as hell!
Well, someone will proably take this wrong way and say that we're promoting violence or abuse. Oh, well. F T I T C T A J. :moon:

Damn it Herb
Put that post back up there! It wasn't offensive to anyone and sorta splains whea yoos cummin from!!
Pablo, you have pretty much covered the indoor "sports".
Now, there's caving in the entrance to the snow fort with we little ones in it, warp speed on the whirligig, test pilot for all new sled
contraptions, steep hills and rafts, having the front seat on the skibobs and pretending the flashlight doesn't work deep inside the nearby mine.
And then their were the Eddie Haskells as all of his friends!
"Hey Mikey" Hell !!!!

Yeah but I didn't think your first post was offensive either, and you see what a firestorm that caused.

That's good stuff Bajapablo - did you write it yourself?
I hate it when conflicts come to a resolution - mostly because I usually wind up with some drunk slobbering all over me.
Anyway - as far as the cultural generalization thing goes - JR - Great - you want to provide food for thought for the rest of us - that's fine. But I
hope somewhere in there you're conducive to learning a thing or two - otherwise it all comes off as a personal diatribe type deal.
Man - you guys gotta understand that I get this kind of my-dad's-better-than-yours like every freaking day. And I get it from like 80 different
angles - mexicans b-tching about gringos, gringos about mexicans, gringos about their own, pochos about chilangos etc. etc. - and it never really goes
anywhere.
The other day I was in a chinese restaurant in Mexicali eating and the waitress was complaining about the habits of the Korean (go figure) owners.
I've come to the conclusion that unless you've drunk from the breast (literally not rhetorically) of the milk of a culture or language then you're
probably not going to understand a whole lot about it - and should probably keep the cyber yap shut and the ciber o?dos open with regard to the
cultural analysis type stuff - and just rely on relating personal experiences.
I'm probably wrong.
Chau muchachos.

Perhaps the more you bring it up
and discuss it openly, it would actually go somewhere. If you can deal with all the pessimists sp., naysayers, and accusers that come along with it
that is !
I'm a firm believer in discussing problems and trying to remedy them. Must have come from running construction crews.
If that's a fault, I am guilty.

Like I said - I'm short on answers - it seems more like open wound type stuff that you're better off leaving alone - just live your life and deal with
it on the micro scale- especially if you don't have mother's-milk type experience in the culture your talking about..
But wtf do I know.

OK, so I will no longer pretend any analysis in posting my limited personal experiences.
I only wish someone would have told me about this mother's milk thing before I spent $60,000 and 4 years of my life obtaining a degree in a subject
matter that I could never possibly hope to learn anything about.
Oh well, at least the trips to hundreds of cities, towns and villages in 4 different countries over the years have helped me to collect some nice
photos.

I'm curios as to your dealings with all these cultures complaining about each other and what you do to be in such a position.
You are wrong about certain things as you obviously don't know the details which is ok.
But what is your heritage and dealings with the rural folks in Baja?
I am assuming since you are somewhat confrontational as to how other's interact down here, you are involved somehow yourself ?
