OK...even though I think this kind of discussion has no place on these boards, I'll step forward and say that I cannot appreciate the tone that BUCDADDY took in that post. I attended BBS from Kindergarten through high school - graduated in 1990. My parents did own their own business, but by no means were millionaires. They sacrificed many things to send me and my brother there. In all the years I was at BBS, never once did we feel the need to think or state that we were better than anyone else...we went there to get our education in a christian environment. It wasn't a "status" thing.
I understand how when people get on these boards and throw accusations at BBS, there can be a feeling of wanting to defend the school and the students. That's fine, but BBS never has been and never should be in the business putting others down, insulting others, or having a condescending attitude. That is a level no one on these boards should stoop to...public or private.
BUCDADDY is either a student who is pretending to be an adult, or a very immature parent who does not represent the values of BBS. Either way, he is completely ignorant of, or has no real exposure to "real life" and the difficult situations people find themselves in. Sometimes, bad things DO happen in peoples's pasts that leave terrible scars that never heal. Shame on you for having that cold-hearted attitude. And what does that have to do with any of this? It certainly has nothing to do with the BBS mission to glorify God.
I hope everyone (and especially the BBS fans) will stay above the pettiness and insulting talk. We all should be better than that. It's fun to talk smack, but let's have some maturity and know where to draw the line.
