Should I even bother to ask if they allow kids to play "Smear the Queer" in Massachusetts? Just call it "Catch the capitalist pig who has stolen the means of production" and it will be the state sport.

Robot means "worker
Well, then I used the wrong word, because the last thing on earth the Government Indoctrination System wishes to produce is 'workers'! How about 'contemplators'.

Japan has cheap immigrant labor. Their are millions of Filipinos and others in Japan but the Japanese don't let them become citizens.

"So umm why did the stop kids from playing tag???"
Because liberal teachers have terminal STUPID disease. It will be nice when they have all died from wandering out into traffic and other accidents that the terminally STUPID succumb to.

Unlike us, they still believe in compitition....the fact that in games, as in life, there are winners and losers.

Since you used google instead of providing a source, it is safe to assume you have no source for your statement. Banning tag is idiotic, but the stated reason behind the ban is "safety" not because "Competitve games are viewed as 'bad'".

Well, sorry that ten pages of Google hits, as opposed to one link, is unsatisfactory to you. Competition has been viewed as "bad" by the leftist educational establishment for going on three decades now, but you are certainly free to believe whatever you like, as far as the primary causative factor in the banning of "tag" by this school in Massachusetts.
To: RegulatorCountry
You asserted that tag was banned at this school because "competative games were bad" in responce to a posters honest inquiry. According to the school it was banned because of the fear of injuries and potential lawsuits. Your response was just dishonest. Banning tag is idiotic, but how can we have an intellegent discussion on the merits of the case when we cann't even present the facts accurately or honestly?

"Your response was just dishonest."
My reply was an honest assessment. To the excessively literal, who take representatives of the educational establishment at their word, without question, perhaps this is offensive somehow. However, there is a track record going on thirty years of viewing competition as "bad," so this is at the root of the issue, all deflection aside.

They must think we are nuts. Yeah?
