Originally Posted By monorailblue <<No one should stay in a relationship that is unhealthy...>> What about healing it? What about being responsible enough not to engage in it in the first place? What about when the alternative is even less healthy? Our society is simply astounding today. A very nice scripture about the blind leading the blind comes to mind . . . . Sigh. Fidelity, selflessness, and good old fashioned work are only abstract to so many of us.

Sigh, again.

I was not saying that we were "sort of" guilty. Sorry for my lack of clarity. I also didn't say that I have matured since then. More that that was my moment of immaturity or lack or responsibility.
Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA <What about healing it?> Why assume that people don't try healing it? <What about being responsible enough not to engage in it in the first place?> Ever been married? Most people who get married think they're doing it for the right reasons. It's not always a happily ever after story. And those who choose to get out -- good for them. Better that than suffering in silence for 40 years in a loveless marriage. You married, monorailblue?

Originally Posted By Inspector 57 Thanks for the clarification, ilovemickey! (And for your initial post, too.) <<I also didn't say that I have matured since then.

I was trying to strengthen the "wrong is wrong" POV on the thread, not to single you out. Thanks again for your enlightening, gracious response!
Originally Posted By DismayingObservation I'm glad to say that I was a good boy growing up. Never did anything to get booted. I used to know a guy who grew up in the area and who claimed to have snuck in the place via the Harbor Boulevard berm. Wasn't long before he and his compatriot got the boot; he told me that he was banned from the park for life! I can't vouch for the validity of the story...the guy was a schmuck. My brother alomst got booted out of the park when we were in high school. Trouble is, he didn't do anything. Those of you who remember Adventure Thru Inner Space remember it as being the loudest, rowdiest dark ride in all of Disneyland in its twilight years. One of the last times I recall riding it was a really rowdy time. We were there on a high school marching band trip. My brother was in the Atomobile in front of me and the one in front of him was filled with some really loud teens who were throwing things out of the vehicle. Anyway, Security was waiting for the perps at the oil fountain...and they thought my brother was the perp! I insisted that he was innocent, which he was. I don't remember if I pointed out the responsible parties, but in any event, we got to stay. Close call, tho.
Originally Posted By tenesmus I never actually was kicked out, we took preventative measures when we were kids to prevent this. We always had a different shirt and hat in the car we could change into, and as soon as we entered the park, we left and got a hand stamp, then re-entered. Once we had photocopied some $50's and $100's (good old days of single sided black and white) and cut them out. We went around the park putting them in the bushes then watched to see when someone noticed them and would either climb over barriers or send a kid to get the money (looked pretty good in shade of plants). It was always for laughs, but security found us cutting out more money in the parking lot once and asked us to leave. A different parking spot and change of clothes later, and we were back in. I happen to know that Monorailblue should have been kicked out for life several times, but you will have to ask him to elaborate
