So address the issue, Banty.

You sure talk a lot but I don't see any arguments about the diaper
complaints.

Just another mother, blowing her horn - hiding her head in the sand.

You misspelled "hey not fair you didn't chase my red herring"!

And top posting to boot. Alt.peeves sure has some winners..

Do you raise as big a fuss when people change diapers in public?

Do you object when people bring their children into public pools
wearing swim diapers (that release fecal matter - a PROVEN
health hazard) into public pools?

Both are an entitlement issue with parents. How many times are
diapers changed in cafes and airplanes?

I WILL smoke outside. When I wait for a bus - I go under the shelter
with everyone else and I DO light up. If people are there with children
I make a point to stand by them. You can take your ill-behaved children
anywhere you want. I WILL smoke where ever I am allowed to by law.
If they don't like it, they can move - that's the entitlement attitude

that
applies to me when your children are obnoxious and ill-mannered.

There is an law against smoking in an athletic field near my house and

I
will
smoke there until I am fined for it. If I am fined, I will drag the

case out
in
court as long as I can to run up the cost and waste the town's money.

I see the litter left behind by breeders from little league and the

feces
left
from the dog owners.

These people don't care about the public - why should I?

So yeah... no smoking is a damn good idea and I don't care if the law

was
passed for the children, the adults, the environment or the benefit of

a
small grey rabbit living halfway up a drainpipe. End result = good.

So you believe that the end justifies the means in all cases?

And you believe that the end never justifies the means?


In general, yes. The means must be appropriate to the ends, imho.
Otherwise you can justify all kinds of draconian measure because the
object is you are trying to achieve is a good one. I think that you
must use means that are good as well as having a good result.



Ah. So it is just that we disagree about *when* the end justifies the means,
not that the end can justify the means.

For example.... I hate causing my children pain, yet I will remove splinters
if they have 'em. End, Means, Justified. I guess you agree?

So how about you quit with the hyperbole? It makes it a good deal easier to
discuss things if we stick to the topic and avoid generalising and
exaggeration.

Why don't you want this archived?

Gee banty, once again you fail to address the point I made.
I guess I score as winning the argument by default.

It's funny that you should attribute my top posting to alt.peeves.
YOU know that isn't where I read the thread.

It's not like misc.kids is moderated or anything.

You know banty, you sure post frequently. Who's watching the "children"?

Default OT (wildly): photo tix and dropping the hammer was Gotta keep it from The Children

ok here is a question, Between American football and Rugby, playing AF
rules and Rugby no padding, who do you think would win this match? or to
make it simpler each team traveled to the opposing country and played
"their"way who would win?

Don't take the comparison too far... I'd probably categorize

american
football as "rugby lite" if pressed.

*cough!* rugby league is "rugby lite" if you want to go there.

(you
don't!!)

League is "lite" my arse. I used to live near Featherstone Rovers

and
Castelford - those are ****ing big guys who train ****ing hard.

Your thinking of Union being the "lite" version

no i'm not. union was the original game. league has nancy-boy

alterations
to
it, such as a dummy-half after a tackle, & so forth.


I take your word for which is the original, but League is by *far* the
harder game.


why?!
you may like it better, which is fine, but i'd have thought simple
observation would determine which is "harder". do you mean more physically
exertive because play stops after a tackle & the defence must run back,

etc?
(that's the only thing i can think of).

the real difference between the two is glaringly obvious during a scrum.
unlike a league scrum, a union scrum is not for the sake of appearances or
tradition. both sides actually have a chance at getting the ball & work
accordingly...

Growing up we had something like this happen. An English high school
(American) football team traveled to the US to play some scrimmage games.
The American HS freshmen beat the English team (what would have been the
equivalent of their HS varsity team). Later they played an exhibition soccer
match where the English guys (who never practiced soccer as a team) utterly
destroyed the HS varsity soccer team.

The Americans would kill the Rugby players at American football and vice
versa.

we were discussing rugby league vs rugby union. to the best of my limited
knowledge of american football, american football & either rugby code have
little in common so there's no real comparison & it would be impossible for
someone to play a game of the other & maintain the same professional
advantage they'd normally have.

are you suggesting american football is "harder"? i watched a game once. i'd
strongly disagree with that.

I think you had it right when you said it would be hard to compare. The
physical demands are entirely different. It would be impossible to say
either is "harder" than the other.

Australian football is harder on the knees, apparently this is why Australia
has the world's best knee reconstruction surgeons.

"harder" in the context that was being discussed by dan evans & me. not
"harder" as in "more difficult".

I think it's an honour they share with the Orthpods at Belfasts "Royal
