I like children! They are cute and funny and cuddly and make adorable noises when you poke them really hard with a pointy stick. My favorite thing about them is that they are like balls of Play-Doh; you can shape them ANY way you want! There's a problem with how easily our children can be manipulated...sissy rules!
Quite a while ago, I found an article about how the game of tag was banned in some schools in Washington. What the HELL is up with that?! Afraid our kids are gonna get scrapes and, oh no, BLEED a little? It was under the grounds that bigger kids are gonna hurt little kids...
Uhh...yeah! That's the point! Are we trying to regulate the playground to the point that the PTO and Board feel the children are truly safe when they are bubble people?! If anything, a game of tag is actually good for the little, scrawny tyke! It teaches him that the real world, much like the playground, is not filled with Socialist equality! Some are born more fortunate than others like being a foot taller and 25 pounds heavier than the rest of the class. If anything, taking away games like tag is un-American! If little Timmy gets hurt playing tag, his father should buy him a set of weights, tell him to work at getting stronger, and hope his son has the determination to overcome the obstacles and rise from bottom of the ladder to the top! That's supporting the rags-to-riches side of Capitalism: working hard to beat the odds and be successful!
In fact, we are WAAAAY too lenient on kids today. Chores like mowing the lawn and cleaning up dog puke from the carpet causes children to whine and moan. At school, they get off easy for showing disrespect and breaking rules. If anything, corporal punishment should be re-enstated! I think if a teacher feels a kid is being a pain in the ass, hit the son of a bitch! Knock the cocky bastard's ass to the ground! In fact, you remember Matilda? The Chokey should be a federally-granted torture device! You'll think twice about not turning in your homework on time!
The best way to raise our children is to strengthen and scar them. Not to make them think we are evil...they are paying for our retirement homes...but to make sure everything turns out okay. The children are our future, unfortunately; let's make sure they aren't little pansies or disrespectful hooligans!

I agree! Children are getting the message that the world is a fair place, which definateley isn't true. People cut them so much slack that they are forgetting how to stand up for themselves.
