Playgrounds: Not Just For Kids?
So I got all 26 seasons of Sasuke and I've been watching it from the beginning. Naturally, I went out to look for obstacles soon after. There used to be monkey bars and such at the local public park but it has since been replaced by some colourful dinky crap. That and all of this stuff seems a lot shorter than it used to. There's slides and tiny ladders and shit but nothing to jump and climb and hang from. What the hell, man? Is this a symptom or a cause of our unhealthy youth generation?

Childrens
I don't like kids. I'm not old and crotchety by any stretch but I do not like children on principle. That is to say, I don't act particularly surly towards youngsters in the street. The negative feelings I have for <18 year olds is in theoretical terms, mostly. It isn't that they are "loud and obnoxious". I often say that I'm a child at heart and I prefer to be silly more often than not. Playing often gets noisy and I don't mind that. As for 'obnoxious', teenagers win out over children in that department.
Firstly: A lack of discipline. Now, I don't mean to say a military-like discipline where a kid doesn't speak unless spoken to. I don't appreciate the meant-to-be-seen-but-not-heard mentality. Stifling a child negatively affects their development. I am referring to an ignorance of how to act and when certain behaviour becomes inappropriate. Crying and temper tantrums come to mind before 'cute' and 'adorable' when I think of children.
Secondly: I find their sense of humor and wit wanting. Ok, ok, I know I can't really blame them for this and I don't. Nevertheless, I don't care for it. I have a deep-seated love of scintillating dialogue and bandying of crooked words.
When the childrens annoy me I picture this scene:
And you'd better believe I loved the mid-credit scene from Step Brothers. (^_______^)
