At the risk of beating a dead horse, I don't think this thread would be complete without a discussion of the site which undead has chosen to link to in the above post on page two of the thread. From the "About Us" page of the PsychSearch website where his TeenScreen article is drawn from:

PsychSearch founder, Ken Kramer, is (you guessed it!) a Scientologist, notable for his organisation of letter writing campaigns against suicide prevention resources in the state of Florida.

If you want the other side of the story after reading the Scientology scare piece posted earlier, you might consider visiting the program site, which is listed as the TeenScreen National Center for Mental Health Checkups at Columbia University, and which highlights topics such as,

    Working Moms' Kids Turn Out Fine, 50 Years of Research Says

    One in five U.S. teens has serious mental disorder

    Pediatricians Should Ask About Child's Screen Time

    Columbia Expert says Chilean Miners Show Resilence, But May Bear Scars

All of which are probably psyops, but in the name of balanced reporting there they are.

Once again, undead has pointed the readers of this thread to a Scientology front group for the bolstering of his position. Not that this indicates in any strong fashion that undead is a Scientologist. But it shows, I think, where many of the resources for the arguments he is making can be found to have originated, so reader beware.

I feel a new posting guideline coming on.

Religion and Scientology (added Oct 20 2010)

The administrator of this board supports both freedom of religion and freedom from cults of mind control.

Therefore, advocacy for Scientology, and use of Scientology materials to promote its principles, is forbidden.


Thank you for your attention.
