I saw that video - I think from a link in Atlantic Monthly? They had a great article on letting kids explore. My daughter has quite a bit of freedom, but nothing like what I had as a kid. It's just not possible anymore.........
My mom kicked us out of the house after breakfast, come in for lunch, kicked out again until dinner, rain, shine, ice, didn't matter. it was GTFO

when I was growing up they didn't talk about parenting like they do now with all the helicoptering, moms taxis, playdates and what nots. Kids woke up and went outside and played and maybe came back at dark, maybe not if they were camping out somewhere. You did bad, parents beat your ass and you did better. You didn't eat what was on the plate, then you went hungry. You twisted an ankle, you walked it off. we lived fine and grew up fine.



i too wish to one day live way outside my means and own a timeshare in florida


there are idiots in every generation

I guess I'm more like Sean Connery in "Capone"
a stand up, one on one, fight is stupid when you are trying to control territory. You don't want people thinking if they were just a little bit tougher or a littler bit stronger they can take you on. You want them terrified that if they stood up a lot of people are going to get knocked down with them. You don't give a guy a fighting chance except in the movies where the hero has to look like a good guy.

Everything is fun when you got gunpowder! Blowing up stumps is a chore.

If anyone is working on the $4 audio hit where you work with a partner, they're having technical difficulties. I messaged them because my partner disappeared. They said they would still pay even though we can't complete the task.

This one:
Regan Mandryk Investigating Online Audio Interactions ***Firefox only*** $4.00 Pending Approval

especially in the US. Look at the difference between adventure playgrounds in england and teh one we now have here in the states. In england it's a couple grownups paid to be there and no parents. In america there are just as many adults hanging around as kids. Kids can't learn to be independent and have crazy fun knowing their parents are 50' away.
