plus it was a joke anyway. i dont like bush and tend to blame him for all my problems.
That's not a stereotype, it's a fact. You're just emo and bitter.

Kill the carrier is when everyone is out to tackle the person with the ball. It's tons and tons of fun.

you know, this is called "the people's republic", yet i haven't seen the PEOPLE have a say in any government matter. it's not the representatives, it's the actual people that need to have a say in this government

for those that don't know, Dubya passed a law saying that you could go to jail if you anonymously flame someone. the PEOPLE of the REPUBLIC didn't get a say in the matter, and the most retarded amendment to the Constitution came to place the previous year

Default Re: School bans fun

my 2 cents as an older bastard:

Ever since the end of the 60's, parents in the West seem to think that children are 2 legged monsters that are incapable of managing themselves in ANY way.

Ever since kids started shooting each other in schools(US) and burning cites(France), I think Westernized thought on raising children has involves thinking children are delicate and fragile and should be handled carefully so as not cause some kind of imagined trauma.

In short .. it seems the general idea is that children today in the west need are to be protected from themselves and treated as nearly broken human beings that are not yet prepared to face the consequences of the world around them.

See thats the thing, I remember coporeal punishment. In fact was on the receiving end in many instances.

I also remember fat rubberbands and paperclips,wedgies, frogging, clothes-lining red rover, freshmen hazing, punch bug and hot hands .. bah .. outlawing dodgeball?

So yes .. at least as far as the US is concerned the baby-boomers now feel that you kids should all get together and hug and everything will be just fine. If you love peace, you can avoid many of those harsh consequences in life. Sure its part of the sue-happy culture as well .. but thats only part of it I think. I mean come on .. even on TV in the US you still hear "have you hugged a child today?".

Basically here are some the BEST lessons I learned through my years in school:

1. Life isn't fair
2. Bigger kids can kick my ass
3. There are always ways to get them back
4. I will be or am bigger than others and can and SHOULD be the ass-kicker too sometimes
5. Change is good
6. Everyone thinks they are wierd


Past that its all easy. Sadly, I feel as though school systems and parents today want to protect children from learning these lessons .. which of course means they will simply learn the lessons later in life, which is a shame. But there are solutions for that I suppose these days too .. anti-depressants, a million treament centers and jails.

more than 2 cents I guess .. but I am not gonna ask for change

Whenever we chose not to use the phrase "smear the queer", we called it "tackle the man with the football".

Hard to not figure out what that one is.

Holy ****ing ****.

Anyway, freshman hazing is always pretty bad at my school. On the street that many people walk home on, there are seniors guarding the entrance to it, and markering anyone who walks by. If they resist, they get beaten up.

In third grade I uppercutted this 6'0 5th grader in the balls. He picked me up by the throat and threw me ten yards. Then I ran. The teachers were laughing.
My brother three years later got into a push fight with some kid on the blacktop. They gave him 2 weeks detention for fighting.
Another three years later, in third grade, and this girl got into a hair nagging fight on the bus. She was suspended for some kind of fighting.
Last year, my next door neighbor, who was in third grade, got into a slap fight with another friend. They came to school with red cheeks. Both were suspended for fighting and had to go to some type of "therapy" for anger management.
Anyone else see a trend?

I think the problem is that schools and such are quick to say "That's wrong" and ban something, rather than letting kids make their own decisions on what is right and wrong. Our society FORCES you to accept an ideal, and you can't go discover it on your own.

I like how Dodgeball isn't even a contact sport and they are banning it. I mean... They should be more concerned with contact sports like water polo, football, wrestling, and so on. Tag is a contact sport, yes, but it isn't as bad as water polo or soccer. If our future generations can't even run without parents going NO NO NO THAT IS BAD YOU MIGHT GET HURT OH NOES, think of what professional sports are going to look like. You would have to pracitcally learn to run...

When I was in grade 7 dogdeball got banned. My teacher still let us play though. He also let us go outside everyday for an extra PE lesson becasue he thought kids werent getting enough exercise nowadays. Last I heard he got fired and moved to a different school becasue he was caught letting kids play dodgeball. Sucks.

Hey look, children. They're made of glass. Can't let them do anything because they're dumbass parents need and excuse to legally steal tons of money from the school system. Which only results in a poorer quality education for them due to budget constraints.

Lets overreact about it instead of actually winning a few cases and setting a precident.

Oh God. Falling down is only thing, aside from saying stupid things, that kids do that is remotely entertaining. I've been kicked in the nuts, hit in the face with a basketball countless times, scraped multiple knees and elbows, hit my head dozens of times, had the wind knocked out of me, swallowed sand, been shot at point blank range with a gas powered airsoft gun, and other painful things, but I am greatful for every one of them.

Haha, I remember in elementry the kids use to play redrover during recess and people use to walk in with huge bruises on their arms due to playing.

First people complain about kids being fat, now they're complaining about people actually being active. My vote is; They should make up their mind on what they're complaining about, dammit.




On a side note; I too love dodgeball.

soccer? in elementary school? the only contact there is are from the football wannabes or those that kick with theirs eyes closed. in middle school, you can take just about any beating in that sport. in high school, it's sponsored by UIL

heavy contact to the nuts: 1000. give or take 100000
soccer balls to the face: about 30
other sport balls to the face: 10
times i've been tackled (soccer): no #$%@ing clue
times i've been tackled (football): 51
times i've bumped my head: 67
sprained muscles: 3 (well, possibly 4, if you count the time my tailbone hit the post)
limb scrapes: 49
wind knocks: 19
dead relatives: all grandparents

i think i'm pretty close to manhood. yet when we're running around and making little if no contact, it's prohibited

if children don't learn what suffering and pain is now, they won't be able to face it later
