I am embarrased to be human somedays...'Tag' too dangerous for recess?http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/10/18/no.tag.ap/index.htmlFrom the article: quote: Another Willett parent, Celeste D'Elia, said her son feels safer because of the rule. "I've witnessed enough near collisions," she said. Dear me no! Near collisions of running children?! " oh! the humanity![/quote] Yet more proof that people are broken. Seeing how people are these days, and how kids are, makes me glad that A - I don't have children (I'd be in trouble for letting them hurt themselves playing and the like) and B - wonder how my 3 brothers and I survived growing up, because gods know, playtime was a contact sport on our street. Hell, we used to have Jarts - those lawn darts with the pointy ends? Hella fun to toss those straight up in the air and watch them fall towards us. :D Oh, and what about climbing up on the (eventually rusty) jungle jim and walking along the hanging bars, and then jumping down 6-ish feet into the sandbox? Ooo... we were rebels livin' on the edge! [quote]Perhaps rules like this are part of what leads to adults who feel they can file lawsuits and contact human rights watchdogs when they get poor restaurant service (for which the manager tried, unsuccessfully to comp thier meal...): http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Movies/10/18/chrisrockmom.discrimin.ap/index.htmlI wish I could sue for everytime I've had to wait for service! [/quote] Did she ever perhaps think of.. oh, I dunno... FLAGGING DOWN THE WAITRESS?! Sheesh, and the fact that it's some "celebrity" mom, I'm surprised she's not upset she wasn't recognized either. My husband and I have been overlooked before, especially when the restaurant is busy. We've either waited a bit longer to see if someone comes, or flagged down the manager to ask what the hold up was. Problem solved. These two are complaining because the manager immediately said, Sorry, You'll get your meal free" instead of calling over the waitress first. Duh! Make the customer happy, then bitch out the wait staff in the back. SOP. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but I really hate how some people immediately play the race card for anything that happens to them. Had to wait a long time to get served? It was because you were black, or pink, or yellow, or polka-dotted, OF COURSE! Even though Crackerbarrel (which never struck me as anyplace I wanted to eat, even while growing up, seeing them while traveling) has had problems with this, still.. that's the first thing Momma Rock thinks of - "it's cause I'm black!" Feh. It's more than likely because you were an idiot too stupid to talk to the manager after waiting 10 minutes, instead of 30. /soapboxoff _____________________ [sigrotate][img]http://coeurdefeu.com/sigs/asylum_sig04a.gif[/img]\|[img]http://coeurdefeu.com/sigs/asylum_sig03b.gif[/img]\|[img]http://coeurdefeu.com/sigs/rhyssa_oct06_asylum_06.gif[/img][/sigrotate] [url=http://coeurdefeu.com]coeur de feu[/url] :: [url=http://www.grimwell.com]Grimwell Online[/url] Qui sème le vent récolte la tempête!
