Quote Tyre stresses that many boys relate to violence no matter what their background is. "It doesn't matter whether Mormons in Utah or lesbians in Cambridge are raising boys. Many of them play and think around violence," Tyre said during a recent talk with a group of parents in North Salem, NY. "We might see them as doing something potentially dangerous. But actually what they're doing is playing around with ideas of courage and valor, good versus evil, and teamwork. These are ideas we want to inculcate in our culture." LMAO.

Title: Re: Antithesis Post by: Spanky on February 18, 2009, 06:46:28 AM I can speak for myself that while I was growing up we did play like that. Good v Bad guys and all that jive. I would venture to say stroh did too. Look where we are today. Now take someone who probably didn't, who probably lived a sheltered life, someone like say Bill Gates. Now where is he today? Oh wait bad choice, but he still gets picked on. Damn Windows.
Now where was I going with this? Uh....nevermind. Title: Re: Antithesis Post by: hobbit on February 18, 2009, 09:11:56 AM I can speak for myself that while I was growing up we did play like that.
