The party of small government strikes again

Link to a couple in which I support a nanny state.

Should be easy since you say there are so many.

Any post about trannies. You support the Big Gov agenda on that and Big Pharma who profits from it

North Carolina lawmakers introduce bill to ban participation trophies for kids

North Carolina lawmakers introduced a bill to ban giving children participation trophies for youth sports activities.

The three Republican state representatives — Sens. Tim Moffitt, Eddie Settle, and Bobby Hanig — introduced the bill, called Eliminate Participation Trophies, to the state senate on March 30.

The bill says that any award given to children for youth recreation activities must be based on identified performance achievements.

"Youth sports or other youth recreation activities operated under the authority of a local government shall not include awards for participants based solely on their participation in the sport or other activity," according to the proposed one-page bill.


Now, whether you agree with participation trophies or not, I think we could all agree it is not something the government needs to be sticking its nose in to.

If they had been Democrat lawmakers you wouldn't have uttered a peep.

"Independent", my ass.

What does that have to do with a nanny state?

Then link to those post from me doing so.

How hard can it be?

As soon as they do this I guess we will find out.

So, do you approve of their actions?

Nanny state? An actual nanny state is against meritocracy, thus the support for participation awards.

Then say you don't support the trans agenda, grooming kids or pedos
How hard can that be?

 

[BULLDOG]

Bout time somebody toughened up all those T-Ball players. Next, you should require them to get a job before they can participate. We gotta toughen up those 4 - 7 year olds or the terrorists win.

The only thing I disapprove of in this thread are disingenuous Democrat shills playing stupid mind games with people.

It seems that the "golfing gator" might have a room full of golfing trophies without ever winning a match.

 

[Unkotare]

I never won any participation trophies as a kid.


All of mine were real.

All ONE of them?

The good thing about these threads, they give the big government loving nanny state folks a chance to self identify.

And they don't even understand they are...

The W Supporters are absolutely positively FOR BIG GOVERNMENT

socialized senior drugs
$1 trillion down public education rathole


They define "conservative" as


supporting using the US military to wipe out all Muslims in the Middle East, give that land to Israel, and hence Jesus will float down from the clouds


Some of these were "Reagan Democrats" but the vast majority are "Karl Rove Voters," the SUBS and they are FUCKING MORONS who do not understand BASIC MATH

What a pointless thing to do. If people think that's what's good for kids... then let them do it. I'm sure this will be knocked down in some court or other.

I don't like participation trophies either because it's not how the real world works, but surely there have got to be higher priorities for lawmakers to focus their attention to than this.

 

[Mac1958]

I'm sure as hell against the idea of participation medals/trophies -- which is an issue unto itself -- but for fuck's sake, we just don't learn that band aids don't work.

The GQP is dead set on approaching everything with a caveman mentality now. IF I DON'T LIKE IT, IT MUST BE BANNED! BY THE GOVERNMENT!

Then they'll point at the Left for doing the same thing. CORRECT. WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE LIKE THE VERY PEOPLE YOU THINK ARE "EVIL"?

The ends of the spectrum have completely lost their fucking minds. But the GQP is in its own universe right now.

Hey, no one thought to offer them any stinkin' participation trophies!

And yet one more big government loving nanny state person self identifies.

Should I surmise you support cancer since you must not support the improvements in cancer treatment?

If you don't win it all, it's just a participation trophy. The trophy doesn't matter, but the kids need to know they didn't accomplish their ultimate goal. That's the parents job.

In the early years, the goal is teaching kids how to play the game, whatever game it is.
