Americas kids are soft and weak









I was watching real sports on t.v
and they did a segment on eliminating
dodge ball in schools.

The reason is their winners and losers.
Yeah, that's life. You are either a winner
or a loser.

These people that are trying to take
competition out of school, hell why
bother sending your kids to school
why not keep them home and home
school your kids if you want them
to be a delicate flower.

I got an idea. Toughen your kid up.
Get them ready for life. To live in
real life you need to have a thick
skin.

Basically people that support no
competition in sports or in anything
were pushed around sissies and they
usually grow up and raise sissies.

We all want our kids to be safe in school
but at what cost. There is a school that
eliminated tag, instead they play shadow
tag. That's where you step on the shadow,
they actually went to a no touching school
no high fives no hand shaking. What is
going on.

We are raising a nation of sissies and we
need to let kids be kids. Kids are going
to win and lose. They will fall and get
cuts and scrapes.

If we continue this these kids will never
be able to handle the smallest situation
and at the first sign of failure and
embarrassment they will lose control
and who knows what will happen.

Get Tough, Stay Tough

Couldn't agrre more! Everything has gone too Politically Correct as well. But yes, there is definitely a trend that's getting worse, a trend of wrapping kids up in cotton wool. When I was a kid we climbed trees and fell out of them, scaled walls and fell off them, got punched and punched back! There's one way to kid your kid safe: when they're born place them in a bubble and keep 'em there. They may not have a life, but at least they'll be safe lol.

Kids are soft today because they are allowed no free play time, not because there is a lack of competition.

Let's jump in the wayback machine and drop in on the little Wildman when he was 10. I bet we would find him outside running, jumping, climbing trees and falling out of them. Maybe he would be organizing his own football or baseball games or kick the can or god forbid, playing smear the queer.

The point is that when we were younger, we played the games we wanted to play with who we wanted to play them with and when or how we wanted to play them. We did all of this without leagues, uniforms, and most importantly, without parents on our backs.

We competed on our own terms when we were ready and we had fun doing it.

The world is different today so we can't let our kids run loose anymore but we can encourage them to get off the xbox and get their butts outside. They might fall down but they'll learn how to get up too.
