dave1001 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2006 So kids can't play dodgeball now, and the storm against all childhood competition continues, no more playing tag (or touch football or soccer): Stupid stupid stupid the logic behind all of these: creates self-esteem issues, raises possibility for injury, fear of lawsuits. what will be banned next, walking?

Accele 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2006 Those are the same kind of idiots that put "winner" and "loser" in quotes because they can't stand competition so much. What are these kids going to do when they find out things aren't just given to them in the real world, and you often have to compete to do well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mehman 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) They fail, cry and die. Is it just me or do more and more kids become emo as more and more of these kinds of "protective" measures are taken? Edited October 18, 2006 by MehMan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goose 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) This "sueing culture" has got out of hand people are so afraid theyll be taken to court for anything nowdays, and the chances are they will, its getting ridiculous,what happened to the good old days where if you fell over at work you just carried on with your life and blamed no-one but yourself for beeing so fucking clumsy. Claims direct, no win, no fee, no basis in reality, just a room above a mini-cab office in Acton where a steady stream of simpletons go to collect money whose greed is only matched by their clumsyness.Bill Bailey Edited October 18, 2006 by Goose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone after us will be a bunch of brainwashed pacifist tree-hugging cunts. cant say Id be sad to see dinosaurs of your type die out blck :P You can say whatever you want about this generation (yourself included I believe), but I think we're the last truly success-or-bust generation. I wouldn't be surprised if we were the last ones that considered fucking up failure. In the future being behind on your bills, being stuck in a dead end job, working around the clock with no end in sight is going to be called "different lifestyle choice," not "failing to succeed." And the worse part is that society is going to accept that as an ok way to live your life. There's going to be no drive to do better, no will to compete. No stigma attached to not trying. I can already see around me people no longer considering having a steadily high income better than having a low one. They act like there's no benefit to it.

Rattuskid 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2006 The FOX one seems to be the only one painting this as a hippy measure. Not surprising. It seems to be a method of controlling injuries, which although they're kids and recover like nothing, prompts angry parents to threaten lawsuits. A number of those same schools, however, allowed those activities with supervision during gym classes. See. Liability, not something wholly foreign to kids in the 'real world', especially if OSHA has anything to say about it. I'm with the bard on this one guys; "kill all the lawyers".
