Jam with 'no bits'.

What's the point?

Likewise smooth peanut butter. It should be crunchy or GTFO.

Where do you stand on orange juice? Bits or no bits?

I prefer it without.

Didn't have you down as a Juice drinker .. I'm hoping you dunk some meat in it or something ....

Something that pisses me off?

That I get my suitability for my profession questioned publicly for absolutely no reason.

Yeah that's poor

So , Where would you like us to start :P

 

to be fair Stef you can't be guardian to all the kids all the time, I mean ffs people have to have a sense of proportion - you're only in school 9 til 3

 

joooooke

 

Morph's let himself down a little on this one, bizarre bit of trying to pin something on someone. Best to park it up and find something new to fall out over there Morph.

That is of course your opinion.

I base my opinion on how my teachers would have reacted in similar circumstances and not one of them would have condoned a game whereby it was putting their pupils in danger.

As previously stated a social network in Ireland has now banned the game and hopefully others will follow.

I didn't realise my 6/7 year olds were hardened drinkers. 

 

May as well tell everybody in the world that you shouldn't drink alcohol as thousands die every year from it. Thousands of people die from driving. Suppose we should stop people learning how to drive. Absolutely ridiculous.

If you're necking stuff that can kill you then that's your fault, not the game.

 

The game is to neck a pint. Not to do something that'll kill you. It's no more or less dangerous than any normal drinking game.

 

If the odd person takes it too far and does something stupid then that's their fault.

So you think something which encourages young people to video themselves drinking is a game. Fair enough we're all entitled to our opinion but as we've already seen something like this very quickly gets out of control when one wants to out do the other and that has resulted in a death.

 

Did you see the news last night where the family of the young lad that died pleaded for this craze to stop? Try telling them that its just a game and I suppose if any teachers agree with your above post what does that actually say about those who are employed to set an example to children.

Yes, it is a game. I'm not sure how else you'd describe it, even if you don't like it?

 

Drinking games aren't new. I have sympathy for the guys who died and their families. But I would say their death is way more to do with them being moronic about what they were drinking than the game. The game isn't to down pints of spirits or anything else that can kill you.

Blaming the game for their deaths is like blaming the inventor of the motorbike because someone died trying to jump the grand canyon on one.

 

Nice dig at Stefan at the end there. Classy.

The problem with your 'game' Stevo is that it has very quickly lost it's original identity and escalated into a dare scenario of 'chicken' all over the social networks whereby one party tries to outdo the other and it's that escalation that has finally caused someone's death.

 

One of the main social networks in Ireland has now banned your 'game' and not before time.

 

'Your game'? What? People neck things regardless. People egg each other on when it comes to alcohol regardless. Blaming the game here is ridiculous.

 

Again, I need to ask, was there any need for your ridiculously over the top, inappropriate dig at me?

It was very appropriate in the circumstances which have already been explained to you in another thread. If you want to make further comment then I suggest you take it to pm.

 

You don't get to 'suggest' anything. You've made a completely ridiculous, inappropriate and unnecessary comment and I'm not letting you get away with it.

 

May as well ban 1) everyone and 2) teachers from doing everything. You're so hugely against it because one person died. How many people die from direct contact with alcohol in a year? Should 1) everybody and  2) teachers be banned from drinking? How many people die from smoking in a year? Should 1) Everybody and 2) teachers be banned from smoking? What I do in my own time in private (as long as it's legal) has absolutely nothing with my ability to be a role model. It's absolutely pathetic that you have to sink to that sort of level to just get a pop in. People make bad decisions whether or not they're playing a game. People get egged on when drinking regardless of whether they're playing a game. People get egged on to do worth even when they haven't had a drink.

 

I would never turn up to school drunk. I would never turn up to school hungover. I would never discuss anything to do with my private life with my kids or their parents. My Twitter is private. My Facebook is private. My photos are private. I'm incredibly enthusiastic about teaching. My class love me. I get the feeling they look up to me.

I have asked you to take this to pm and you have refused so let's have it out on site if you want.

I don't get to suggest anything and you are not letting me away with it.

That's the same attitude that got you very few brownie points the last time when you implied that due to university education you believed that was enough to make you right in debate. I believe you then referred to yourself as a snob and no-one on site disagreed with that.

As explained before this particular game has escalated far beyond it's origin due to being a chicken dare scenario and due to that each time someone is nominated more peer pressure is used to outdo the previous nominee with the unfortunate end result that someone has died.

If this particular game had stayed just that and had been confined to just one pint then fine but it hasn't has it and to me it is up to people with influence like yourself to now say after someone has died, enough is enough. But to actually condone a post that said the death wasn't really anything to do with the game especially someone in your privileged position to me that not only needed engaged but corrected. Do you honestly think that youth wouldn't have been alive today if he hadn't participated in the so called game. That's what his family would say and indeed they have rightly asked for this game to be stopped before it happens again and it will happen again.

Lastly you were very quick to jump on my posts in the confession thread and criticise what I did. I accepted that and the criticism of others because I knew I was in the wrong and I certainly didn't cry like a big baby when engaged and corrected.

I would suggest that you grow a little more backbone than you currently have and learn to do the same.

Nail on the head.

Many people do die from alcohol addiction and that is exactly why we shouldn't encourage a whole social network to start drinking excessively. But then it's only a game eh?

Yeah think how many sheep have been left abandoned to die after other Facebook users actively encouraged their friends to also play FarmVille without thinking of the consequences
