Each Spring recruiters from Disney World fan out across the country seeking young college students who desire to be a part of the "Disney experience," advertised as "where fantasy comes to life and vacations always end happily ever after." The new recruits join the ranks of hundreds of young men and women for a six-month internship at the giant amusement park.
According to the mother of a daughter who signed up for the Disney World College Intern Program, the new recruits quickly discover that, instead of the family-friendly environment that the company projects to the public, they are in for an experience more akin to Pinocchio's "Pleasure Island."
"Terry," a twenty-year-old student from Glendale Community College in Phoenix, answered the call from a recruiter who visited her college last February. She agreed to work as a lifeguard at one of the Magic Kingdom's resorts. The young Christian woman was assured that she would be housed and work in a safe and pleasant environment, and that underage students would be segregated from those of legal drinking age--which is 21 in Florida.
"It didn't take long for me to discover," said Terry, "that my 'dream job' was beginning to look more like a nightmare." Despite being promised her own room, she was assigned to a cramped, Disney-owned apartment with five other underage women. Moreover, on her days off she was required to attend compulsory Disney training.
Although the other women in her apartment were under 21, the apartment directly across the hall was occupied by drinking-age men. Alcohol, drugs, and sexual activity became a regular routine in the apartment complex. "A favorite spot for late night partying and sex--both heterosexual and homosexual--was around the apartment building's swimming pool," Terry said. "The pool Jacuzzi was a frequent locale for open sexual activity."

Disordered perversion and disgusting and dangerous behavior is harmful and destructive.
Oh, don't get me wrong, it is disgusting and I'm so glad to be lifted out of it I can't even begin to relay.
I think were just making two different statements with the end being the same. I'm saying "The walls are full of roaches" and you're saying "We should kill those roaches." Two different statements, but in the end, we're going for the same goal.

Thank you for clearing that up.
My comment was meant as kidding.... mostly.
Alrighty...I'll let it go. :) I just don't want anyone to disparage the Corps.
Recruiters lay it all out before the potential candidates. Ninety-one days of hurt and intensity. Recruits are introduced to the extreme physical and mental challenges they must overcome to earn the title of Marine.
We are trained to kill. We break things. We only want the best. You will become one of us if we think you are good enough. The few; the proud. Those who are warriors. Warriors, one and all.
Those who are driven. Those who belong. The bent knee has no place here. Marines are the battering ram that smashes the enemy's door, paving the way for everyone else. Born to defend; built to conquer.
