Nope. I remember being in school and some kid getting upset b/c he's gay and thought the game was against him.BDKJMU wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 6:38 amKids don’t play smear the queer anymore?kalm wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 5:08 am
Oh hell yeah…and it transcends ideology. Growing up…much of the 9 percent was the Christian fundies. But then…Tipper Gore.
Had this conversation last night with my Mormon, Trump loving, close friend regarding Gruden (he’s also a huge Raiders fan)
He reminded me that back in the day, we played “smear the queer” and called each other “fag.”
Those terms don’t fly today. The world changes as do cultural views. You can either attempt to deny change and growl at what the world is becoming or attenpt to apply some equanimity and be less bitter about things. Regardless of what you think is fair or important.

How was that played? Is it similar to Dodgeball?
LilCCU came home from school a few weeks ago and said they played a game at where "You throw balls at peoples faces."
Turned to be dodgeball

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
I’m talking maybe 8-9 years old till about 13-14. I never knew any gay kids at those ages. Was it right to call it ‘Smear the Queer’ back then (in the 80s)? No. But we’re talking late elementary/junior high/middle school age juvenile kids here, not adults. If a group of kids today was playing it, that would be no worse than playing it back then IMHOP.

We played it in the 90s. I can see how it could be hurtful but it was a game that was basically tackle that guy, we never thought about it as an indictment on anyones sexual preference. Everyone was the queer at some point during that game.BDKJMU wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 6:15 amI’m talking maybe 8-9 years old till about 13-14. I never knew any gay kids at those ages.

We called it "kill the carrier", which I'm sure is almost equally offensive these days. Heck, you can't call "suicides" in basketball that anymore, have to call them gassers or something like that.

"Kill the carrier" is still used today or at least it was yesterday when I went by a park full of neighbor kids. There was a bunch of shouting "you're dead" and the ball carrier ignoring it.

A student at Oberlin College in Ohio described being "scared" and "angry" after the school announced a work crew would be installing radiators in a "safe space" dormitory for women and trans students, explaining the crew would likely be "cisgender men."
"I was angry, scared, and confused. Why didn’t the College complete the installation over the summer, when the building was empty? Why couldn’t they tell us precisely when the workers would be there? Why were they only notifying us the day before the installation was due to begin?" Oberlin student Peter Fray-Witzer wrote in an op-ed published in the college newspaper on Friday.
"In general, I am very averse to people entering my personal space. This anxiety was compounded by the fact that the crew would be strangers, and they were more than likely to be cisgender men."
The work crew eventually showed up at the dorm, and Fray-Witzer described that he saw "immediately that they were all men."
"It was clear that the College had not made a special request that male workers not be allowed onto the upper floors of Baldwin," the student continued.

CID's going to retire on his boat and sail the seven seas.
I have about 5 years until I can retire and spend a couple of years touring the country in an outfitted Sprinter/Transit/Promaster while hiking and going to college football game before leaving for Central America or Europe.

But let’s face it... the majority of his cabinet are just big government Democrat policy wonks. There are a couple nuts but they are safely tucked away in harmless departments.
I’m surrounded by people who might tangentially enable or sympathize with the students in the article, but at the end of the day they would never in a million years hire or promote people like that. They are just too toxic to the workplace. And let’s face it, there are tons of heterosexual men in the Federal government. I’m not sure how that would work for these fragile creatures.
