Were You Part Of The "Mentally Gifted Minds" Program In California Scools back in the 70's?

when 2012 movie came out it said google 2012 the more ?s asked 1 thing led to anoter i was drawin to this web sight

Bingo indeed.

To keep it on my list

I actually ended up in a psychotically segregated program in around 1981 or so. This was in the north in the US. They wouldn't let me write with my left hand..they would keep an eye on me and come over and physically switch the pencil to my right hand. They had each class segregated by color: I was in the white class, there was also a black class and another that was Hispanic. We were all the same age but kept completely segregated: different buses, recess times, and classrooms.
I always wondered if that was normal for the era?

why? the best thing would be for this thread to die a quick death.

We really need to chat...

Well, posting on it and bringing it back to the present day certainly isn't going to help. Besides, anyone who starts questioning things is going to stumble across it, too. Only thing that can stop this wrecking ball is its complete removal from the forums. Somehow doubt that is going to happen, all things considered.

Are you the same Aussie as before who peppered out sayings? If so, why the sudden desire for its demise? Don't like the outcomes?

This is an interesting theory, but it seems they were searching for more than just people with high levels of iron. I was in the program and have all the traits listed, but also anemic.

Yes me too but this can be so frustrating when all people have to do is deny that they are feeling what you think they are feeling.. You can "feel" what they are feeling but you can't prove it. It does serve to instill confidence but still if liars or evildoers deny stuff they usually get away with it. This talent is sometimes useless. It helps figure stuff out though, sometimes too well -- like waaaay before other people can see stuff or are ready to accept it. So one feels very alone.

You, too, eh? I was diagnosed with anemia as well. Having high levels of iron in the blood and body doesn't preclude the possibility of anemia. You can have high levels of iron and be anemic at the same time due to a lower rbc count, which was exactly what they said about my anemia. So the two scenarios can coexist. My blood components are pretty sketchy with things being screwed up or missing. Has your doctor checked your ferritin level?

stfu. i really dont care what you think, you ,like many others are milking this thread to death.
youre far too stupid for me to even bother explaining jack too, all youd do is argue against it for your own purpose.
In case you misunderstood my purpose has not changed, nor my views, you just dont get it or you do but have an agenda.
still collecting data without consent from the posters in this thread?

and G...yes most likely but its hard to get the timing right

and ill tell you this again:

theres more than one aussie.

and Observer for reason only known to yourself youre so far off track with youre thinking, the only reason i can think you throw around the ideas you do is to do nothing but datamine.

i cant stand you.be offended, i dont want you to like me either.

Wow, lol, don't hold back there, Aussie. Sorry if I hit a nerve or a dozen. Actually, the data that you say I collected from posters was purely anonymous, no nicknames and nothing that would personally identify them. The sole purpose was, as I've stated half a dozen times, was to get an actual number to what I was thinking that I was seeing. The amnesia aspect didn't look good but I wasn't sure if it was just due to my own situation with mass amnesia that I was specifically noting amnesia in a form of bias. I can repeat that over and over again but you're going to be totally unconvinced.

I'm not data mining the thread. I'm just another person who was messed up by somebody in something a long time ago. I'm looking for answers and when I hit something that I find interesting, I share it to get feedback. I want answers. So you're right, I do have an agenda and it's the same one as every other person on this thread--answers. What about you? What's your agenda because you obviously have had one for the last two years? You're the one that has been peppering out the cryptic phrases, trying to string people along. At least I explain what I'm thinking or the idea in my head.

Whatever is bothering you today to make you lash out so much at a perfect stranger, I hope it's better for you tomorrow.

f.o. im not playing youre games or enabling you or letting your passive aggression slide, or answering your stupid questions.

you abuse others freewill no matter your excuses.

ill speak for my own reasons not for your satifaction.
just because someone gives you a serve doesnt mean theres something wrong with them.
cause and effect.dont like the ripples?dont make them.

and in case you havent got it yet, i dont want to share stuff with you because you cant be trusted with that info.
thats why i give freely what i know to the few that dont act as you have, with them im happy to be an open book.
Thats doesnt mean im going to leave my arse swinging in the wind without some thought to self preservation, that comes from experience.

starsforid someone actually knows what theyre talking about observer.

Life is important to me. When it comes to all life, the most important thing that any life can have is free will. Without free will then all that's left is imprisonment, an empty existence, and a loss of the opportunity to live a real life under one's own control. I look out at my life as it currently stands and I don't see a free life. Freedom, for me at least, didn't start happening until 4 years ago. I see a wasteland of a life. I would never subjugate another's free will and those that do so are worse than scum.

When I look at this thread, I see a lot of people who are disturbed by the presence of it and the program, itself. When I found the thread in January, it had already been ongoing for 2 years. All I've done in this thread is share my experiences and try to find possible answers to some of our questions. I don't expect anyone on this thread to simply believe anything that I'm saying or finding. I expect them to question it. To look for themselves and if they find something that doesn't corroborate but negates, I would sincerely hope that they would post it rather like the woman who posted that she was anemic. It's called brainstorming.

If trying to encourage the use of those skills that we learned in the program--critical thought, questioning everything, connecting the dots, logic elimination, and more--to do something that I don't think they ever expected or wanted us to use them on (the program, itself), then yes, I'm guilty of trying to incite the free exchange of ideas based on things that don't come from some website that includes the writings of a mad man. Trying to subjugate the free will of this crowd? lol, don't make me laugh. I'm not that dumb. This is a thread full of very smart people with the same tool sets for sniffing out bullshit as my own. I have more respect for them than that and I see in them the same pain that I face every damn day.

Again, I do not know what precipitated your attacks on me. Was it my asking you if you were the same aussie as the one who was pushing out nursery rhymes and "remember to ******"? Was it that I asked you if you didn't like the outcomes? We all watch everything and miss nothing. I know what I have potentially seen occurring out there and it scares me to death that those things may have had anything to do with this thread. Finding that one may have had no free will is devastating. It can produce either those who are champions of free will and thought or those who would seek to revenge. Cause and effect. If you were the same aussie as before, didn't you also say "best not to abruptly awaken the sleeper" or something along those lines? If it was you, then that's probably the most accurate thing that has been said on this thread.

yet again observer, you have a sense of entitledment that i whould anser to you, answer your questions.

You avoid dealing with the points i have made.

The people in this thread have been monitored enough ,have had statistics collated on them enough, and you see fit to gather more statistics for your own "reasons".Granted there could be many lurkers doing the same without verbalising that they do, but its wholly disturbing you do it and say"o but im one of you, so that makes it okay".You really cant see past that can you?

i dont care what you say and shove your demands and repetive questions of me where the sun dont shine.

Fuck this thread has been around for a while.

But really, how mentally gifted is the OP.

Can't even spell s-c-h-o-o-l, school, not scool.

No doubt that there are records of us out there that weren't destroyed and I'm sure that there is plenty of statistics out there from all the information that they gleaned from childhood on about us. A lot of government programs do that to study the efficacy of a program so yeah, it happened. Pretty much guarantee it. Some of the research is out there in the forms of scholarly papers on gifted children but probably not everything. We were never privy to what information that they accumulated from us, whatever notes that they were jotting down on their stupid clipboards and pads. statistics for suicide and drug and alcohol abuse got the same treatment as that of atomic veterans and their families in the "too difficult to accumulate that information" excuse that is used as a blanket statement to cover a program's failures. The difference between what I did and what they did is that I actually did it to share it with everybody here. They didn't tell us even when we did something right or wrong (except when I chose not to go engineering, then I heard how wrong and shameful I was lol). They didn't tell us a whole lot. Like I said, anybody looking at this thread can do the same thing and not even say a word.

I don't care if you think I'm one of the former gifted program participants or not. I'm the one who said that probably the best thing is to trust no one, not even yourself until you can figure out who is okay to trust and isn't. This is where our b.s. meters come in handy, lol. We don't know what precisely was done with us, whether the intentions were good or bad (or for the "greater good") and so on. I waffle on those things daily. That's why I'm constantly on guard with myself. It's also why I've restricted contact from my family in a major way. I know they are guilty of contributing to my own scenario. Have direct evidence of that.

The amount of trust an individual places in another human being is purely up to that individual. Trust isn't given, it's earned. It's pure free will.

I would not lie on this thread, ever, because I see that to do so could be dangerous and harmful to another human being. Intentionally misleading on a thread like this one would be harmful to epic proportions in that the harm incurred would not only be to the active participants within the thread but all viewers thereafter the deception took place. It's called the offense and harm principles and the rules I have lived by as best as possible for my whole life.

stfu i dont care what you think.
you seem to just like seeing paragraphs of your own jabber on the screen.

other people know better.thats why many stay away from this thread in the first place.

save your lectures.Theyre wasted on me, im just laughing at your predictable responses.
You have no bs metre.

Nope, just like to be crystal clear. You like to blame and accuse me of a lot of things. It's ironic really. Are you sure you're not projecting?

positive im not.are you sure youre not avoiding dealing with your own shit?

seem to have lots of words, lots of excuses, but no accountability that comes from wisdom and experience.stfu.

and shove your datamining.

... maybe both

very very interesting you are...

stop bumping triggers knobhead

I see loads of hostility and projection, attempts to shut down others. I see personal fears cast out to access negative energy flows to suit the needs of some. I see bitterness and bile against others in an effort to instigate sheer emotional reaction. Attempted energy harvesting at its worst, not even trying to hide it, lmao. Awesome. (NOT) What a perverted way to shut down communication. And it's not even intelligent in it's execution, just a child on a barren playground screaming STFU, I know you are, but what am I?

i dont like you either your just as bad as Observer.youre not projecting onto me out of your own vile bitterness are you?
milk the thread Bea, you know you love it.i dont care what you think either.You surely are one to talk of childishness.lol
