Shrug....You may call it what you want, but IMO it's the truth.

Your assement of this is correct :-)

That is stupid as hell. Ban kids playing tag

Ridiculous.

Thats all.

I know it is. And IMO it's bullshit.

That's what makes America great - we can both think the other's opinion is bullshit, and yet we could likely sit down have a beer and some wings together and never have an issue.

I have no doubt that there are certain areas in which the schools/bullying is extreme.....But why should the banning of a game give the bully's the upper edge? The school and/or students should have taken the matters into their own hands if things get that bad.
In this case, the bullies will just go other avenues to continue being bullies.

Don't mention beer and wings, I have to leave for work soon.

I've got pizza at home that I made yesterday (hot sausage, cipollini onions, yellow bell pepper, cremini mushrooms, and fresh basil from the garden) that I'm going to have with beer here in an hour or so. Maybe I'll make some wings on the side.

Maybe, but if they're using the game as a tool to victimize, and they've ignored instruction from the school to stop this behavior, this may be the best short-term solution.

I dunno, it's hard to say without really knowing the facts around the case.

The bottom line is that it's impossible to "force" someone to play tag.

Ergo, banning the game on that premise is profoundly retarded...

Greetings and Felicitations,


Evidently, my version of appropriate social interaction and yours are different.

What part of being bullied prepares you for social skills and boundaries later in life? Is the constant fear? Is it the constant verbal debasement? Is it the acceptance of physical pain? Is it the constant expectation of physical pain for being different?

What part of being a bully prepares you for social skills and boundaries later in life? Is it the reinforcement that the bigger and stronger have the right to get what they want at the cost of others? Is it the callous psyche developed by those who are ok with causing other people pain to get what they want or for being different?

Never use your mind to solve your problems. Never learn to consider the suffering of others. Never learn to value the contributions of the different. Being bigger and stronger is the only things that matter in life.

Lord Vicari

Well, those aren't true bullies in my book. True bullies are persistent and do harm to other kids. Society eventually puts these people who do harm to others in jail.

Oh cmon. That is ridiculous.
Calling it natural/part of life - is exactly the ignorance that spawned the likes of Columbine shooters.
In other words, the bullied are told "oh well. deal with it." and they snap.
The point is probably good for another thread.
