Scoop 0 #11 October 29, 2006 I really don't know what to say, it's bad enough kids under 16 aren't allowed to do scrums in rugby anymore. But what with this and banning playing tag and instead having the lunchtime walking club, I really don't know what is happening to society. Next if your kids are caught playing soldier they'll be reports sent home that your child is displaying violent tendancies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next if your kids are caught playing soldier they'll be reports sent home that your child is displaying violent tendancies We played a game called "surprise" when we were kids. Everyone joined the "club", and by joining, it meant you consented, more or less. One person would be designated "it", and the assassin would be allowed to jump out and randomly tackle anyone else in "the club" whenever he wanted for 24 hours. It'd be great when you're walking to school, hear "SURPRISE!!!!", and your best friend jumps out of the bushes and just fucking CRUSHES you cavete terrae.

Scoop 0 #13 October 29, 2006 Haha, we never played that. I think the worst games we had was in army cadets when we were in our billets and everyone turned there beds up on their ends with the legs facing one way and you had to run the gaunlet. Next to every bed was a cadet ready to rugby tackle you/punch you so to get past all the beds without impaling yourself on a leg or getting some sort of injury was impossible. We had one rather rotund kid who ran like afucking juggernaut flattening everyone and when he got to the end he just kept running straight through the closed fire door. Was classic! Then we all got bollocked and ended up doing drill in our boxer shorts in the snow at 3 in the morning *sigh* But it was great! Rough and tumble is all part of growing up and learning about yourself.

algboy 0 #14 October 29, 2006 Gotta love the PC world. Reminds me of this priceless quote from "King Of The Hill" Soccer coach: Slow down, Joseph. We've already got the tie. We don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Bobby:(out loud to no one in particular) Why don't we just give them the dang ball? [and just `cause it's funny] HANK: Bobby, I never thought I'd need to tell you this, but I would be a bad parent if I didn't. Soccer was invented by European ladies to keep them busy while their husbands did the cooking. BOBBY: Why do you have to hate what you don't understand? HANK: I don't hate you, Bobby. BOBBY: I meant soccer. HANK: Oh. Oh, yeah, I hate soccer. Yes. Dale: "Aw, I've been at the gun club ... playing Russian Roulette." Nancy: "Did you win?" Dale: "You're not familiar with the game, are you?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
algboy 0 #15 October 29, 2006 "Monkey bars over concrete (Don't fall, there are consequences!)" I must've grown up in a "liberal" neighborhood (60's) `cause we had crushed limestone under the monkey bars. Try landing on your head on that stuff. DOOO'HHH!!

It's just how life is. fucking jews. It's the liberal left wing atheists. I'm not particularly religious and I can't seem to figure out what is so offensive about someone wishing somebody a happy/merrry whatever. I also can't seem to figure out what the problem with toy guns and war games is. Seems to me the less kids have been able to play these games with toys the more they tend to act out violently with actual weapons. Or maybe it has something to do with bad parenting and watching your kids by sitting them infront of TV's with video games and not instilling good values in them or teaching them right from wrong. Oh sorry, that would require taking some responsibility and maybe actuallly taking some time to pay attention to your kids. But then again if you do that you have noboody else to pass the blame along to. Learn to be happy. You can't be there for anybody else in life if you can't learn to be there for yourself.

NWFlyer 2 #17 October 29, 2006 QuoteIs Red Rover like British Bulldog? I don't know what British Bulldog is, but Red Rover worked like this. You divided into two teams. The teams would line up side by side, facing each other, with arms linked. One team would go first and say "Red Rover, Red Rover send Joey right over." So then Joey would have to run across and try to break through to the other side of the line of kids. If Joey broke through, he got to take one of the two people he broke through with him to his team. If Joey didn't break through, then he stayed on that team. Whoever ran out of players first would lose. Ah, good times. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Armour666 0 #20 October 29, 2006 Being in Canada and ther being a abundunce of snow that had to be cleared and piled some where gave us the Hill's we needed to Play King of the Hill. First one to the top was the king and everyone eilse woild try to knock the king of to become the new king. I rember how effective it was pushing those comming up dow in to other to take out several oncommers at once. Ahh those were the days. The other week we were at the park and my oldest 6 likes to climb well he was climbing on climber over top the monkey bars ect when this woman stops here car and freaks and starts asking where his parents are. Then she was starting to procede to give me a lecture. I alowed that to last 1.4 seconds. Give me a break will ya shure he could fall but wasn't that high and I feel letting him take some risks alows him to learn to judge for him self what his limits are. We shield kids so much that when they grow up they are nor ready for life they take higher risks on ther own as they have NO risk assement skills as some one has been doing it for them all ther life. Scraps bumps and briuses are part of life (a broken bone isn't that bad either). I'm sorry but the every one is a winner is crap !!!!! shure there are hurt feeling but competiveness and how to deal with emotione of lossing and winning need to be a part of life !!!!!!SO this one time at band camp.....

Here! Here! Couldn't agree with you more. Winning has less to do with building character than losing does. If a kid never has to be strong enough to move on after a loosing, then how will he or she accomplish it as an adult? Therapy? Chemistry? Yea theres a solution.

sartre 0 #24 October 30, 2006 Although I rarely agree with you, I do in this instance. Recently there was a kindergarten boy who was suspended from school --yes, suspended-- for bringing a toy squirt gun to school. Not even a realistic squirt gun, it was one of those cartoonish rubber ones that you squeaze and release under water to fill. And it was bright orange. And it was stored in his back pack. A little girl saw it and reported it. We sure taught that little ruffian a lesson!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
