Oh goody, another reason to post information already known to the well-informed...
Carlin was the best; he knew how things were and knew how stupid people are getting.

Yeah I got hit by a car when I was five and was lucky enough to come out of it with only a black eye. Which is why I don?t have a problem with this.
Kids may do stupid things but that doesn?t mean parents or teachers should let them.
And because a kid has an accident(which happens, it is a part of life), doesn't mean the other kids have to suffer from being tied down an restrained by rules and regulations that stop them from being kids and being able to play free and have fun.
See the Carlin video above. Kids should be free to do as they want, if the kids do something bad, yeah punish them, that is how they learn. Don't hold them back with rules to prevent something from happening, the kids won't learn and when they get older, and don't have someone watching over them, they will end up doing something stupid then when stupid things have more consequences as an adult. Learn as kid to be a better adult. That is why as of late, society is churning out more adults that are growing ever more stupid and ignorant about life.
Let me ask you, were you hit by that car because you were playing out in the road? Did you learn something from your accident? I'm willing to bet that you were more careful around roads. Experience has more merit than a parent making rules about things like being out in the road. The kids won't understand because no matter how much a parent tells a kid that being out in the road is dangerous, they don't know the reality and consequences.

BRING BACK MOTHERFUCKING NATURAL SELECTION!!!
What the hell does this have to do with evolution?
The weaklings die out and the strong survive, the species evolves and becomes stronger.

On and to all you other idiots SHIT THE FUCK UP! You?re not parents and this doesn?t affect you so what gives you the right to judge how actual parents raise their kids?
One doesn't have to be a parent to understand that new parents and their kid coddling is messing up how kids are developing.
All I have to do is listen to my dad on how things use to be and how he thinks the schools and new parents are being pants on head retarded about taking care of children. He is a parent and is a grandfather that sees and hears about what happens with his grandson at school. My nephew can't even bring his favorite foods to school, peanut butter and jelly or peanut butter crackers as a snack, because some kid has a peanut allergy, because God forbid that the kid somehow gets in contact with peanuts.
The other kids shouldn't have to suffer and have their lives ruled over because of one kid. My brother had two kids in his classes growing up that had peanut allergies. The other kids around them ate gobs of peanut butter and peanut products, did they ever have an allergic reaction and die, no. Because their parents taught them well and they knew they should stay way from peanuts.
All these rules and over-protection of kids is harming the kids. As Carlin said above, it is like a special form of child abuse. Because the new parents end up planning everything for their kids, making thousands of rules and planning out all the play time and activities, the kids aren't allowed to be kids.
The parents are holding their kids' hands and telling them how everything "is" and not allowing them to experience things for themselves. The kids aren't allowed to be on their own, to make their own decisions, find out the consequences, or be creative. This new order of protecting kids is killing their imaginations, their ability to think on their own.
The creative part is big. More and more, creativity is being weeded out from children's lives. The English professors at the college I went to always commented on how the students get more stupid and clueless every year. They said that the kids coming out of high school, most know relatively how the mechanics of writing works, only the basics nothing advanced. But the problem is that they have absolutely no creativity. The creativity has been killed by overbearing rules that don't allow kids to think outside the box. They haven't been able to be by themselves and make things up, and think and plan out their own ideas.
They find that the students that are best creatively speaking, are the ones that didn't have extremely strict homes, in the sense that the parents didn't plan everything for them, and from schools that allowed them to do more writing than the basics.
Employers are telling colleges that they want workers that think creatively and on their feet, but the colleges are being over worked, because they have to pull double time to teach students things that they should have experience as kids.
Their needs to be a let kids be kids campaign. A "free the kids foundation". Kids need to be free and be able to play on their own, they will have plenty of time to be tied down and not be able to have fun when they are adults.
