@Darcy Casselman: Exactly! I was born and raised in Poland (not too far from Soviet Russia) and we had a lot of these in our parks. This stuff was indeed fantastic. I remember being captain of a rocket, I remember fighting creatures, sliding down some fancy slides - each of them different.

BTW, I also think my kids do enjoy the "identical lumps of plastic" anyway. Wheeeeee ;-)

It's built on the premise that we could do "thinking" and "being creative" all the time. IMO, this is impossible - one needs downtime to be able to think again. Whether you watch TV or not.

I hear all the people who agree with it not being funny but, at the same time, there are a lot of other things that we do not like and yet have to go through to be adults.

What do you say to your kids when they get pushed over in the backyard by neighbors kids? Do you go to their house and complain to parents? OK, lovely, what are you going to do when your kids are 18 or 40 and their boss bullies them? Are you going to defend them too?

I got shocked in school a few times - not pretty - but somehow survived. This is when I learned to watch my back. Pulling the civilization/society/social responsibility card may seem mature but kids certainly do not give a fsck about it.

In any case, the arrest is way over the fucking top. If I were arrested for every "crime" I did, I would be probably doing life now. Police - get a life, catch criminals. Enough of the terrorist/criminal bullshit.

Keep calm. Move on.

ZOMG, I just have been fumigated on the flight from Bombay. I'm gonna dieeee... (quick, someone call lawyers!).

Disemvowel this: "Wsadził dwumiesięczną córkę do mikrofalówki ;-)"

Seriously though, this is a very nice idea, I love this approach and the whole rules.

Cheers.

Same here - born and raised Eastern Eu, never seen the method.
