Dodgeball Removed From Windham, NH Schools
CBS ^ | Thursday March 28, 2013

WINDHAM, N.H. (CBS) – Dodgeball has been bounced in Windham.

The classic gym class game has been a rite of passage for years, but dodgeball may have met its match in the form of the Windham School board, which at a recent meeting voted 4-1 to end dodgeball and other so-called “human target” activities, games with names like bombardment and slaughter.

I guess Smear the Queer would be out too.

"The kids protected from the evils of dodgeball will go home and play violent video games. Violent video games will not be banned because Hollywood makes too much money selling them. So much for the hypocrisy of the progressives."

I agree. Dodgeball makes for stronger health, mental and physical.

Kids today are fed warm milk...maybe some day they will get meat.

If they saw some of the crap we did back then. Fourth of July bottle rocket fights were always entertaining. Now there are warning on every commercial on TV to not do what they are showing. Just saw a car commercial (can’t remember who - so it failed) showing a kid with his hand out the window in the wind: “Holding your hand out the window of a moving vehicle can be dangerous. blah,blah,bah”

‘Capture the Flag’ after the Scout meeting used to be about as rough, but with a ‘Kinder, more Gentle’ name.

We had a little kid, Dewey, who was about 11 or 12, who was a mean tackler. He could teach the NFL a few things.

Dewey, if you’re out there, ‘Hello!’ I guess you’re about 62 by now. :-)

When I was a kid we played it with a kickball before school started. The teachers made a rule — no kickballs allowed before school.

We switched to footballs. They made a new rule. No more footballs allowed before school.

Then we started using someone’s hat. They couldn’t ban hats.

When balls are outlawed, only outlaws will have balls.

They are going to have to get rid of football since the quarterback throws a pointed object at his human target at high speed and often hits him!

This can’t be allowed!

It was called “slaughter ball” when I was in grade school back in the ‘60’s. Even back then they had to change the name to “elimination dodge ball” so that it didn’t sound so violent.

When lack of movement results in pain, you learn to move your ass.

Negative Reinforcement!!?? Survival Instincts!!??

Surely you jest. These are things that Liberals frown upon most severely.

Heaven forbid we learn from mistakes and pain.

Dodgeball is bad, faggots are good.
War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength

I say this in all seriousness:

We are not very far away from suggesting that male circumcision become a) mandatory, and b) including the entire penis.

They will float the idea that sexual penetration is to violent an act to countenance any more, and that it would be better to do away with penii.

All sex will be in vitro.

Moreover, they will cite health care savings and public safety as the reasons for doing it.

Kelo gutted the 4th Amendment. The 14th gutted the 9th and 10th. The 17th helped with the 9th and 10th. Obamacare being upheld gutted the 1st. They are taking big swings at the 2nd as we speak.

Both parties seem to be moving the country off of the founders model for the government, and what is laughable, they are moving it to the very model the Soviets warned Nassar back in the 1970’s NOT TO DO - totalitarianism with a planned economy.

Forced penilectomy, for the good of the kids? I absolutely see that as possible. Did anyone in a million years think a bunch of goat humpers would run planes into the WTC or that we’d be seriously discussing not only the legality of sodomites having families, but also the eventuality that men marrying boys would also be deemed LEGAL as well by SCOTUS.

That’s what this decision, if done in this court, will do.

Well, when they tell you that, they have already lied.

Just downhill from there....<: <:

If a man says something and his wife isn’t around, is he still automatically wrong?
