Which one of you taught your kids that it was acceptable to provide time-outs and participation trophies to their kids? Cause the idea didn't come out of a zebra's butt.

Meanwhile, we don't know the ages of the other two. If one of them was in their 70's, would you accuse fox of reporting age discriminatory fake news? Or would you just accept that some people are screwed up in the head?

Are you so sure that participation trophies and time outs are the reason why some people act out? Are you really and truly sure? How many folks here have a relative over the age of 40, who has either been in jail, been in a fight, gotten a ticket for reckless driving, been accused of a crime, participated in any kind of protest at all, drove drunk (whether or not they got caught)...

How many of you even KNOW if you have a relative who fits the above criteria?

Believe me - it's not the result of participation trophies and time outs. I never got either and I did my share of acting out when I was young. For me it was a matter of "you and what army are going to STOP me from doing whatever I want?" Time out? Pfft. There's no lock on my door. Participation trophy? Screw that, I want to WIN. If I can't win, then I don't deserve a trophy. We used to get those in bowling league, I thought it was a huge waste of league money.
Re: Zebra butts. As a devoted animal lover and watcher, I am very distressed by your "flippant" dismissal of the beauty of the butts. I have gotten some of my best ideas and inspiration by staring for long periods of time at zebra butts. It is mesmerizing and transformative - like doing long yoga poses - or chanting - meditation. I stare and let my mind drift. As the zebra butt stripes start to move and form moving or sometimes straight line patterns, the lines of stripes merge to inspire my newest ideas. It is an ancient African ritual for mental cleansing.
