This makes me sad. Games like tag toughen up little kids. It's unfortunate that certain areas believe pacifism is the way to go. That just makes the world a less badass place to live

I almost yelled out WTF just from reading the fourm title
This is an unforgiveable and unacceptable ban that disgustes new and so called parents that are trying to conrtol the lives of children
IMO: Overprotectiveness is a form of bad parenting
Edit: ok I just read that it is actually A Central Florida homeowners association which is a community organisation that seem to want to go to extremes to keep children out of there sight which is just such F*$&#*g B*$#$*&t I mean ok it dangerous for kids to play in the street but if your so scared of hitting them they should complain to the parents of the child to make them play in the backyard or something not bann them from going playing in the street outside their house

Okay, but what led up to the injury? If it was tag, you are justified in your opinion, if it wasn't, then your reasons are unjustified, because if this thing gets passed, children would be put into $100 of debt every single time they wanted to play tag outside and forgot that the rule was there. I think this honestly isn't about keeping kids safe. That's just the excuse these people are hiding behind like the cowards they are.Blitzwing said:
Hah TAG? In my day we had a plastic handle on a bit of rope we pulled into the tree and swung down on that. If your grip slipped you'd be plowing into a inconveniently placed concrete path in the middle of the garden. Yes this did happen to multiple people on several different occasions.
I think someone ended up needing some dental work because of it. On the other hand damn was it fun.

Really, guess how retarded our school is?
They banned football bacause someone was tackled ONCE.
And you know what they told us to play?
FUCKING ICE HOKEY!
I like Ice Hokey, but really, there reply to someone being tackled is to hand all of us big sticks and say,
"Play this instead."
Watch out for the great intellects they have at our school.
And to add to that, our school has sports bins with our stuff in it, and there were the soft pink balls for playing ball tiggy (tag) with. And of course, trying to get two grades of 25 kids share a single pink ball was impossible. So some kids (including me) took a flat soccer ball and used it instead. It was softer than the pink ball, but we all had to go to the principles office and got banned from tag for a week.
And also, the teachers set up a SYSTEM to deal with tackling. You had to go to a FUCKING tribunal if you tackled. You had to (I kid you not) watch all of your mates play to show how to be safe while playing.
WHAT. THE. FUCK.
Really, I was looking in a newspaper once because I was friggin bored, and I saw baby helmets for when they start to walk.... thats right, a helmet to stop them hurting their head when they start to walk. And you know what? That is worse idea than a chocolate space shuttle. It means they run into a chair and go, "Hey that didn't hurt!" so they keep running head on into walls, on chairs and off cliffs.... er, where was I? See, when I was young, i'd bump my head and go, "Hey, that hurt, hmmm, bump=hurt?, better not bump then!"
I blame the schools, the parents and Chuck Greene.
I out.

They promote outside play and health, yet want to ban kids from playing outside? That seems like...I just don't understand that!
I'm an avid gamer, but even I want to go outside sometimes...preferably with a woman, but still. And some of my best times are when me and my friends just go around and climb on stuff and do stupid stuff around outside, and we're 20 and older!
Maybe instead of fining kids for playing outside in parking lots, why not build them a playground? And banning Tag is stupid, they run around, they're not playing football and killing each other, they're running around and getting in shape, banning tag is like banning water from water fountains and making people have to drink only soda, then get upset when they get fatter, lazier, out of shape, and get bad shakes and rotting teeth and complain that they aren't drinking enough water!
Seriously...what the hell is wrong with law makers that they don't realize that they're banning things they're promoting, and hell, did when they were ages that they're trying to put rules upon

Oh yeah, at my Water ski club, we used to have a HUGE swing that swung out all the way to the middle of the river. Like, the river is about 20m across. And it was SOOOOOOO much fun. And one day, a parent who had been with the club for 1 WEEK, said that she didn't like it, so the club took it down. AND HER KIDS DIDN'T EVEN USE IT!!!meece said:
Yep, out of 55 people, 1 newly joined person wrecked it all.
And the worse bit was, noone had EVER been hurt on it.
Oh, as for playing outside, I find the best fun is when me and my 4 mates go outside, and go down to the park with a ball or something, and play. Like, we once went to a area with sooooo many fucking trees, and we played treetop ball tiggy. Yep, ball tiggy IN TREES. And that was so much fun. See, if you put a kid outside, he will improvise. Put a kid and his friend outside, they will improvise, and probably have a lot of fun outside. Put a kid and his friends and some balls and rope outside and they will have a great time.
And once I was kept inside by my mates mum, and me and my mate just played computers all day. And then she walked up and got angry because "We weren't doing anything healthy and good for you!"

Dude, me and my mates used to love that. We once tried Matrix tiggy, and we all started wall running and slow mo diving and shit. But then someone tried a backflip.... and ouch.PixelKing said:
But it was so much fun! just running around and making shit up. But now-a-days, all we do is sit around and talk, because most of the time we aren't allowed to play games at school.
Somebody did go to a parent. The parent said "My child can do what she wants". The point of the rule is to require parents to take responsibility for their kids.Titan Buttons said:
Also, the rule only prohibits such play in public areas, like the parking lot. A backyard would be a private area, and a perfectly fine place for the kids to play.
