School and Dodgeball

[warren211]

When I was in grade school, something similar happened. I was in a Catholic school and my PE teacher explained to us that almsot every Catholic school in our district had stopped dodgeball because it was violent and dangerous. Our school was one of the few that kept the sport, the rebels we are :twisted: . Dodgeball is an incredibly fun sport and all sports can be violent if they get out of control. Hell, even gymnastics, the most non-violent sport next to golf, turned violent at my school when the pole-vaulter argued with the high-jumper, and all hell broke loose with the entire gymnastics team.

I love dodgeball... And it doesnt really have much to do with "violence". It teaches you a few things...Reflexes and accuracy, most obviously. Its aa great sport, in my opinion...

i like dodgeball. i used to be really good at it. but now i dont play sports. cause if i do. ill end up getting sweaty. and thats gross. and it also ruins my hair. i never play sports. i dont like participating with anyone in my school, because about 99.9% of them are preppy rich potheads who act like they're better than me and make fun of me all the time. so i kick them.

 

That whole post deserves "what." You mixed up about thirty stereotypes.

 

thats cause im fat. and i had just woken up when i wrote that. it doesnt even make much sense to me now that i read it again. but the main reason i dont play sports is my hair. and the rich kids.

Shave it all off. :thumbup:

but then id be uglier. and i have a deformed head. it has dents and scars on it. cause when i was little i fell on my head a few times. and one day i was pretending to be a ninja with a tent pole, but tent poles undo and spin around and hit you on the head and dent your head. that hurt. :(

NOT the hair!! I mean, seriously? What can it do to mess your hair up? Do you have some kind of flamboyant, poofy hairstyle?

 

 

 

And show those scars off, man. Battle damage.

Excluding most of my back, the bottoms of my feet, and the inside of my hands, every single square inch of my body is covered in noticeable amounts of hair. I have hair on my TOES, dude. Quit whining like a [female dog] and get off your lazy [donkey] to go beat the stuffing out of these rich [needles] with a dodgeball. It's fun, it's safe, it's good exercise, and you get important skills from it (accuracy, speed, throw power). It's a win all around!

 

 

 

And about the dent thing, just say that you got it because someone bashed your head with a metal pipe or something. That should earn you 15 badass points right there.

that made me laugh quite a bit. but, if we ever do play dodgeball in school again, ill play. but im not shaving my head. thatd make me look like ronald mcdonald, except without a jewfro. and having a shaved head and wearing tight pants doesnt work together well.

[RayOxide]

All the mums of like 10 yr olds who complain about schools piss me off.

 

 

 

One day, just one day I want to go on the news and complain about them complaining.

 

 

 

[AlperBacon3]

ROFL, our school is still alowing dodgeball after this past week a kid lost 3 teethe :lol:

[What980]

Because 50 kids in a small gym playing foot hockey and ramming into each other is SOOO much better then balls that don't hurt.

 

 

 

I'm going to give my school a jingle and say chemistry is making me feel weak and inferior to alllll the other students. And if they don't ban it. I just might sue for singling out academically challenged students.

 

 

 

^All that sounded great until I remember remedial classes. :lol:

 

 

 

*Goes back to hating my Chem teacher.*

Why, thank you. Nice to know I'm the first person whose capable of thinking of ways to say things so that people will know what I'm talking about and not setting off the filter. I feel loved. \

 

 

 

On the throw power thing; do you not know what a grenade is? The military LOVES people who can use one with minimal training. Also, you never know when you need to get something from point A to point B faster than you can carry it.

[Lenticular_J]

Knowing how to throw a dodgeball =/= throwing a grenade, actually. Mainly because you won't be aiming a grenade at people in particular - if you even use one, you'll likely be clearing a room, and thus, not just a rifleman or anything. Unless you're stuck in a situation where clearing a room or even using a fragmentation grenade is necessary.

 

 

 

But, hey, it can't hurt.

Also,no one plucks stuff off dodgeball or can hold it in one hand.

Its called muscle if you pump your lats and bust your bi's (along with other muscles) you can throw grenades...

Ahh... censoring my own stuff ROCKS.

[jasignhagj]

Whiney-[wagon] parents annoy me. at our school we used to have activity days at the end of the year, but a few parents complained that their precious child was missing a week of "valueable learning time", and they canceld them.

 

 

 

You should start a petition. back in elementry they started to make us change in the disgusting washrooms bcause they "needed" the boys changeroom for a third special needs kids room. so we made a petition of evrey one in 2 classes(a third of our puny school) and they finally let us have it back

I seriously have to wonder if the people who think up these things were actualy young once. They either all forgot their life prior to high school graduation, or were born old. I have heard of tag being banned too in some places. Normally things are banned for not being safe (which shoudl really include all possible activiteis that take place in gym), but dodge ball promots violence? Bull. The object of dodge ball is not to hurt people, just get them out. Generaly there are rules for at least no head shots, often only a hit to the legs counts (or legs and stomach). Watching foot ball on TV is going to promote more violence. Dodge ball tends to be a very popular game, famous for being fun. Promotes violence...wow...maybe people get stupid when they hit 30-40 or something....just... :(

Thats...Wow. They should ban running, too!

[jackal_55]

Holy crap!

 

you have a P.E teacher that isn't an absolute sadist?! :o

 

seriously... every P.E teacher i had when i was in school was horrible, one of them even came up with a game like dodgeball, only there was 1 person with no ball, and everyone else threw balls at them. after we ran 3 kilometers. in an Australian summer (see, 50 degrees C, which i think is like 120 or so F?)

[purfishx]

(see, 50 degrees C, which i think is like 120 or so F?)

 

 

 

Surely you exaggerate?

He does not, honestly, although I wish he did, I'd love a cold summer :pray:

[Omar]

How's it promoting violence? Just don't play with bowling balls...

[Distracted]

Pff, overprotective parents ftl. Or the stupid ones that just look for things to whine about...

[ElkNight]

The only games that were banned at my old school was Football and Hocker (errr a game this kid made up it was basically soccer mixed with hockey. Aka soccer where you could beat the [cabbage] out of each other)
