What's new

The Biden Administration and All Things Politics

The participation trophy complaint is so stupid and misguided.
Im in my late 40’s. I played rec basketball pretty much every year of my childhood. I got a trophy literally every year that i played basketball whether my team was good or bad. We have been handing out participation trophies for nearly 50 years. Minimum. It isnt some new thing.
Yep, kids 4-10 playing in rec sports get acknowledgement that they did the thing. The winning team(s) got the real trophies. They were proud of their winner trophies and the rest of us probably held onto our cheap "participation" trophies for a bit and then tossed them. The entire concept that this is ruining society is silly.
 
Lol. I have never mentioned Tim Ballard or the sound of freedom. Who did I post derogatory statements about who is known in the community hunting down child traffickers? Another swing, another miss.
But he tries so so hard to be irritating. Maybe he needs a participation trophy.
 
You mean that more is communicated in your imagination than in anything I actually wrote. You are reading in meaning that you want to be there and are enraged by what you've conjured.
We all live in a real world that we interpret statements and posts within. You have had the incendiary and painful nature of your post explained to you. If you honestly did not intend the implication, you should have apologized and re-written it to avoid the implication. If you choose not to based on the principle that you don't apologize for stepping on someone's foot by accident, that reflects poorly on you.

Yep. I had a 2nd place trophy that was way bigger and better than the participation trophies. People just like to bitch
 
Biden administration thread…must be lots of talk about BLM, Antifa, and how we should all love Ukraine right?

Can’t wait until Trump is back - very soon!!!
