Those kids grew up to be the troops for 1 World War and the leaders of another one, both victories.

Kids today? Let's just say it's a good thing we're in a technology driven age. They're not being prepared for anything else by their parents, schools, our society, and certainly not for real hardship.

Maybe that's a good thing.

I can't get over how ignorant this woman is. Look how ridiculous that picture is, yet she wants warning signs that an adult shouldn't slide with their kid on their lap, above the slide safety rails? It's 100% her fault.

It's unequivocally a good thing unless you believe we should intentionally raise our children under hardship? Are kids soft today? Absolutely, but they're soft because they can be. I'm pretty sure that's what our forefathers wanted all along.

What most kids bitch about today is a sign of how great things are in this country.

When I brought my kid into the ER with cigarette burns they tried to arrest me. They refused to believe he tripped on a door jam causing the burns

Experience is going to be a painful teacher for most kids as they get older.

You should. And it was. Hold the child correctly instead of sideways and it wouldnt have happened.

jeesus christ. There doesn't need to be a fricking sign for every freak accident out there. If there was there'd be so many signs that people would ignore both the justified and the silly. Ala. the California cancer warning on everything from air freshener to lead solder.

I other countries there is nowhere near the signage for safety on many things to this day because people need to be responsible.

Gotta take that photo, even if I'm holding my kid wrong for a slide.
