My 10 year old daughters school has no losers.
Everyones a winner!
Bollocks I tell her. You go out there and beat their arses.
Comin' second=first loser.
Don't you come home unless you win at everything and don't want to hear no
excuses! :)

To the Esteemed Mr. Arse:
You're still a saint compared to my dad!

It sorta scares the shit out of me how all these schools and educators
are trying to eliminate competitive sports and even go the extremes of
banning tag, and LEGO... yes even LEGO.

George Carlin (rip), on his last HBO stand up went on about this.

"Grade school, where he won't be allowed to play tag because it promotes
victimization... Standing around is still permitted, but it won't be for
long. because sooner or later some kid is gonna be standing around, and his
foot will fall asleep, and his parents will sue the school, and it's fucking
good-bye fucking standing around." -George Carlin

"You know what they tell the kid who lost these days? 'You were the last
winner.' A lot of kinds never get to hear the truth about themselves until
they're in their twenties, when their boss calls them in and says, Bobby,
clean the shit out of your desk and get the fuck out of here, you're a
loser."-George Carlin

So, if we all lose, we will all be winners in the end? Because we'll all
be happy and catered for and that, to me sounds like winning.

So if we're all winners by losing we all become takers by default.

Can you see where this is going??


On my desk is a badge my son made for me when he was 5. It says "you are
a winner".

What he's actually saying is "you're a loser Dad".

That's his pocket money stopped then........!

Anyway, if something else big does happen in Nov then I'm gonna stop

reading the financial papers and start taking shrooms. Probably a good

life plan regardless ;)

Competition is a barbaric, insensitive ritual that reeks of social
Darwinism.
We cannot allow the fittest to survive on our pages. Your loss is
someone
else's gain, and your gain is someone else's loss. Therefore, losers
contribute
to the society and winners take away from it. Being a winner is
unethical, while
a society of losers is happy and striving as a collective. In the spirit
of diversity,
inclusiveness, and collectivism our contests shall have no winners.
Everyone is declared a loser, which in our book means an ethical team
player.
