Keep kids alive, drive 25

anyone ever seen these signs? I have a better idea: keep kids alive, do your fucking job as a parent and do some parenting. don't let your kids play in the street. people used to speed in my hood, and my parents told me to stay out of the street. problem solved. this dipshit who used to have one of these signs in their yard til I swiped it is responsible for getting a 3 way stop put in on the road I live on and drive on every day.

I am sick of jackass parents who think that its everyone else's fault but their own if their kid gets hurt. I actually had 2 parents completely bitch me out not too long ago for driving 10 mph through a development. nothing in this story is exaggerated. I was driving really slow cause I was just about to park, and came around a very wide bend in the road. I saw some kids playing touch football in the middle of the street. I glanced at the speedometer: 10 mph. I put on the brakes and came to a slow stop, not even close to where the kids were. next thing I know this guy is screaming his head off at me saying "you could have killed these kids" over and over. I told him calmly that I was going fifteen miles per hour UNDER the speed limit, that I wasn't even close to the kids.

the guy accused me of getting smart with him, and then I lost it and told him to get his kids out of the street, at which point his wife told me several times to "move along, bud." finally after the guy continued to chew me out I told him to fuck off and drove away.

I think parents need to take more responsibility these days. we don't need anti-smoking and anti-drug ads on TV, parents should tell their kids these things, and then hope for the best. and if your kid respects a television ad more than your own advice, you have fucked up as a parent.
 
agreed. some parents are over-protective when it comes to safty. i learned young cus i was told to stay out of the street too.
 
my parents told me that pussies don't survive in the real world so they made me stand on the road for 3 hours straight when i was six.
 
i was really lucky cause i lived on non busy street, but i would say it could be a bit of both. i can see if it was a street that people had a tendancy to speed on, the signs would be helpful, but if it was just a normal resedential neighbourhood, tell the kids to smarten up. either way kids shouldnt really be playing on a street unsupervised.
 
Ive had people in my development bitch at me all the time and i feel the same way. Fuck off and get your kids out of the fucking street. I'm just driving, maybe a little over the speed limit, but not too fast and it isn't my problem you are a bad parent.
 
while I am ranting my ass off about shit, my ipod broke because ipods fucking blow, so I borrowed my moms one that she never uses. I tried to hook it up to itunes and load my music but it wouldnt let me transfer any music onto it until I erased all the music on it. is this fucking for real? is apple that cheap so that they wont let me load songs onto another ipod because it has some purchased music on it, so it makes me erase all the music on it so I don't get anything for free, God forbid? do they realize pirating music is extremely easy?
 
Agreed, there are parks for this very reason.

It's the PARENTS who are much too lazy to get off of their asses, to bring their children to such a distant place.

Where I live, there's a hockey arena at the end of the street, which has a 2 acre park attached. Well, my insane neighbour used to sit on a lawnchair in the street and would go APE SHIT at any car who dared exceed 20 km/h on his or her way to the hockey arena.

He did this, while his kids were playing on the hard (fucking dangerous) concrete , as opposed to running on the lush grass, a mere 200 feet away.

This also made for heavy radar patrol, which led to my father receiving many stopsign infractions, from the comfort of his own home.
 
theres this one street by my house that has a 5 mph sign on it. Like you cant even go 5 without applying your brake. My car coasts at like 10 and some old fucks always yell at me to slow down and I'm not even touching the gas.
 
Streets are made for cars. Not for kids to play in. People need to have their kids go to a park, or their driveway, or anywhere other than the street, or else take responsibility for their actions.
 
i have the same fucking situation in my neighborhood. the bitchy lady who lives on the corner (who is actually a drug dealer and a guidance counselor) has those flourecent green turtles with the "slow" flag in the middle of the fucking road, the worst part is shes the first house in the neighborhood, so theres a stop sign literally 25 feet away, and she still yell in drunken rages for people to slow down.

shes the most fucking irresponsible parent ever.my friend babysits for her kid (7) and he tells the kids to go play videgames while him and a friend search her room. they found an 0 in her dresser, a shit ton of acid, dildos, stacks of $100, and bongs. her and her husband tell jared its "parent only time" and he has to go sit in his room, while they go and smoke up the garage, but its ok becasue "its only tobacco"

and the kid literally sits in the road playing, like he'll see his dog or something, then chase it into the road when a car is coming, he rides his dirtbikes/fouwheelers around the neighborhood alone while doing donughts/burn outs in peoples driveways, and just is a fucking idiot.

 
agreed every day after school on my drive home i pass 2 schools and it is filled with parents parked in their cars or walking their kids home... i live in probably the safest neighborhood in the us it is on that list thingy of top towns or whatever.. these parents need to let their kids walk home from school alone i understand like k-2 walking home with an adult but common i walked home everyday by myself and i am fine my parents told me don't talk to strangers watch out for cars and good luck... kids need this kind of inderpendance or they will be dependent their whole life...
 
dude i had to walk like 20 minutes to school through a fairly bad neighbourhood my dad still said goodluck.
 
Do you think its a good idea to go more than 25 through a neighborhood?

that one dude was being a total prick but I have yelled at alot of people in my neighborhood going like 40 that they need to slow the fuck down because there are kids in the street, They tell me I need to learn some resepct and shit and I tell them they need to learn how to drive. Parents need to do a better job about drugs and stuff but kids are always going to play in the neighborhood street. They have the right of way by law so I reccomend that you watch out when going through a neighborhood.
 
This would work too.
