  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.
