By the same token one could easily extrapolate your statement to support ANY bias or bigotry. It does not excuse disrespectful discussion and discourse.
On the reverse of the coin, pinkie do you have any documentation of how many people programs like these have helped people? I can hardly believe that any industry would mature to 20+ years without some sort of statistics showing that it's effective. I can also hardly believe that there aren't more people like Irishsean and the kids that are happy to have broken the cycle.
