Yeah well a lot of good parents do. Because it gives the kid confidence instead of teaching them they'll always loose.
Haha yeah for a few minutes xD;; its like what IS that.... P: Thanks <3 Your's is very *gasp* Snowy. xD Who would've guessed? |
They won't always lose. One day they'd have played so many times that they'd eventually learn to beat their parents xD |
Yupyup! But I mean it's the mentality of it. Raising a kid with self confidence or a kid who believes they arent good enough to ever 'win'
Thanks. <3 Hehe snow bunny! *feeds carrots* =O |
Well thats true, though it doesn't really matter anymore, does it? Kids in school don't win anymore. I know at my sisters sports day everyone that takes part in a race end up 'winning' so there's no loser. Its no fun anymore. |
Yeah that always kind of bugged me. Especially when I put in tons of effort to win and then they're like, oh it doesnt matter everyone gets a prize. >: Im not very competitive by nature but I still felt like I deserved something for trying.
*pets* n.n |
I remember my sports day at school was a really fun day. The whole of the school was split into four teams and we used to compete. Winning team got gold certificates and a little trophy to keep until the following year. It is kinda dishearting when you put in so much effort to win, then are told it doesn't matter because everyone wins. Its just to make the losers feel better. Bleh to it. |
Yeah we had track and field. There were a bunch of silly easy events and the winners got ribbons. But so did everyone else. But they went up until 7th or 8th place. xD Honestly who wants to remember they were 8th in a race of 8 kids anyway? Also the "participant" ribbons for everyone else were also silly. *laughs* I threw them away before my parents could have at them.
*puts out a water dish* |
We probably had the same sort of thing. I remember the younger years in the school had a dress the 'baby' race. They had to run along the track, collecting the babies clothes and at the end, they had to dress up the doll and run through the finish line. XD Heh. 8th out of 8 runners? Last place, 8th just makes it a little easier on the slow kid. Ah well. The good old days xD |
Ah ha ha! That sounds absolutely hilarious to watch my god. It's not a kids sport by any means, but the strangeness reminds me of chess-boxing.
*laughs* You're supposed to drink that! But I suppose playing in it works too.... |
Chess boxing? Wow.. the world really has gone mad xD
*Splashes around and chitters* |
Hahaha yeah it's a very very strange sport. O.o;; My friend hopes it gets televised so he can see it live.
*pets* ^.^ |
Lol. Wouldn't be long then before people all over the world start gamblinb on it. |
Hahah oh yeah it definitely seems like a betting sport to me. P: It's like a pitt-fight style sport only for nerds.
*petpet* |
Lol yeah. You think people make bets on chess tournaments and such? Which nerd will win? |
They probably do. *shrugs* People bet on all kind of things.
*laughs and picks you up* |
Yeah, thats true. People are always saying 'I bet you...' and so on. |
Yupyup.
So... I bought a katana today. 8'D *laughs* Didn't plan to but I did and I like it. *petpet* |
-Has become addicted to WoW again- -_-;; |
xD;; Oh dear oh dear...that terrible addiction.
Yupyup It's fun to play with. *feeds little carrots* |
It is. But I have no life anyway so.. meh xD |
xD;; I played flyff for a while but WoW always kind of threw me off. D: Didn't like it much. But s long as you have fun that's good.
Haha yea I know. Technically I'm probbly allowed to carry it as it's unsharpened, but it's too easy for people to accuse me of brandishing a weapon or something. *pets some more* |
I tried Flyff once, didn't like it. Couldn't get into it. But Wow.. yeah, I like elves >.<; |
*nods* Well to each their own right? 8'D <3 I have unusual taste.
Haha yeah that may be true, considering your police don't carry guns like ours do. USA weapons laws are lax compared to some places. n.n |
Heh, yeah. Everyone has their own tastes. |
*nods* yupyup.
^^; Yeah it's kind of a situation with good and bad parts. Police would have more "presence" but if they were stupid and a criminal stole the gun, then you have an even worse situation. |
