Pinatas: A Bad Idea for Your Child's Party?
A blindfolded child is let up to some poor helpless papier-mâché animal hanging off a tree by a string. They have a stick or a bat in their hand, and they proceed to whack the animal with all their might.
Other children are cheering on the fight. When the piñata is broken open, candy spills out. Everyone rushes to grab as much candy as they can. It's every kid for them self.

Doesn't sound like such a good party game when it's put like that, huh?

Piñatas are not a good idea for your child's party. Children should never hit anything with a stick. Even worse, kids can get piñatas in their favorite character too. Doesn't anyone slightly cringe at the thought of their child whacking Dora the Explorer or Elmo around with a baseball bat? What is that doing for a child's character? Getting a flower or car piñata is only slightly less worse.

I won't bother. Glad to see you onboard, finally. Better lae than never.

We don't give kids enough credit.

When I was a kid, I used to watch Woody Woodpecker give a stick of dynamite, lit, to his nemesis. I knew it was a joke.

Kids today grew up watching Barney or other similarly bland entertainment -- and yet we have to worry about them bringing weapons to school and taking hostages. This never happened when I was in high school.

Did anyone ever really connect "violence" in cartoons, or whacking pinatas, to violence in later life?

Just saying.

I guess hockey and baseball are bad for kids too.

Every generation has said this about the next generation.

"In my day, kids used to hunt mammoths."
"In my day, kids used to walk the desert for 40 days."
"In my day, kids used to fight in coliseums."
"In my day, kids used to fend off crusaders."
"In my day, kids used to cross the Atlantic."
"In my day, kids used to be part of Revolutions."
"In my day, kids were laying down railroad tracks."
"In my day, kids were working the steel mills."
"In my day, kids were shooting Nazis."
"In my day, kids were dying in protests."
"In my day, kids played physical sports."

And yet here we are, young people still fighting wars, hunting, advancing technology, playing sports, and etc.

"The force of this impact then caused the springs to rebound, whereupon Mr. Coyote was thrust skyward. A second recoil and collision followed. The boulder, meanwhile, which was roughly ovoid in shape, had begun to bounce down a hillside, the coiling and recoiling of the springs adding to its velocity. At each bounce, Mr. Coyote came into contact with the boulder, or the boulder came into contact with Mr. Coyote, or both came into contact with the ground. As the grade was a long one, this process continued for some time."

Holy fuck, that's a riot!

I will lead the crusade against sticks. W/o them pinatas can live free of fear. Who is with me? Citdog? I know how much you dislike bundles of sticks!

JBB might join you, he is pretty much this board's virtual pinata.
