Class for 1-26-09
Mondays class was mostly filled with presentations and discussions of each of our egg projects. we went around the circle and each person showed off what they did. Later we also discussed what everyone noticed about the round things we were supposed to look out for. At the end we were then given our next assignment which will be to come up with a list of 50 what if questions with 5 of those being responses to another persons egg project. I have one right now!
What if people weren't so scared of being sued all the time and actually let people have fun at a public park?
I guess there is a story to that question... I just arrived back from being kicked out of a public park for trespassing. We were trying to sled in the fresh snow and have a little fun but we were forced out by the parks department who had called the police, supposedly. I kinda feel sorry for younger kids these days. It seems that mostly in the last 10 years people aren't allowed to have any fun anymore. Its always protect the kids and don't let anyone do anything, they might sue you. When i was younger and it made more sense for me to want to go out and go sledding I had no problem finding a hill and staying there all day till my cloths were wet as hell and I was shivering all over. Now tonight I go to my favorite place, which is a bad ass hill, but sitting on the hill was a "trespassers will be prosecuted" sign. So we then tried a public park but no longer than 30 min of sledding and we were told we had 3 minutes to leave before the cops arrive. I am guessing all of this is because of the way people are these days. If you hurt yourself it must be someone's fault so lets sue them for all they got! I wish people would lighten up sometimes and just let people have some fun as well as if u hurt yourself then its your fault... you were the one flying down a hill on a shitty piece of molded plastic. You know the risks that there are. Only thing i have to say is i am still alive and I never seriously hurt myself. I can't say i don't have scars but those are just stories to tell later on in life.
