There once was a wonderful playground, with swings and teeter-totters and slides. The neighborhood children loved it. They loved to swing on the swings, slide down the slides, crawl through the tunnels, they had great fun.
Sometimes fights would break out, "Bobby won't let me have a turn on the slide." "Jimmy keeps squirting me with his water pistol." "Brandy keeps looking at me." Fotr the most part they were little conflicts.
One day two boys got into a fist fight, One boy was hurt and needed to go to the hospital.
The mother was very poor and when it came time to pay the hospital, instead got a lawyer and sued the owner of the playground.
The owner didn't want any further liability so he closed the playground for good.
Now the neigborhood kids don't fight over the slides or tunnels, they play in a vacant field, full of weeds and stickers.
Originally posted by Ice ColdI hate stickers. Weeds make me sneeze. Someone should grab a mower, plant some good grass, fertilize and ....hey.... I bet we could get that swing set for nearly nothing. Who wants in? I will share if you will share...we can all have fun building the best park. Let's all do it together. No fightin...no fightin..

Originally posted by Zort BoyWe are heading out camping this weekend and are going to make some tomahawks with the kids. I hope we can find some good rocks to use.
A local council here in Perth made a guy take a tyre swing out of a tree just in case a kid got hurt and a letigious a#$hole of a parent sued.
