I think your thread title says it all tbh. No accounting for Darwin.

grovel · 05/04/2011 14:33

Because they were not breast-fed. Probably.

no doubt some parent is happily letting their little darlings out to play cos its easier than keeping them in......

what was it made of? wouldn't it be hard to burn most play equipment?

I went to look at a flat in a Victorian house that had just been redecorated because the previous council tenants had completely wrecked it, actually destroyed a lot of the interior. Why do people do this?

donnie · 05/04/2011 14:37

was it part of the tory cuts, OP?

southeastastra · 05/04/2011 14:38

was wondering if it was the brand new playbuilder stuff, most of that is wood and that sort of worried me

knittedbreast · 05/04/2011 14:38

alot of it was wood, also metal etc

It must have been very hot to burn god knows what they used

Feel for you and the children in your area. There are some really mindless fuckwits out there. Angry

i was just ranting about this yesterday some one had burnt the plastic off a ladder on the climbing frame and there was no grip so i had to keep picking up my DS to put him on and off the climbing frame.
IT MAKES ME SO DAMN ANGRY! i was brought up to respect property why burn it? just why?
argh!

maisiemackenzie · 05/04/2011 14:48

Raised by retards?!?! Seriously!? you don't have to look very far to see there are a lot of mners with kids with SN, me included, and that is really not on...

knittedbreast · 05/04/2011 14:53

oh please, thats not what i meant and you know it. ffs. Of all the times I and anyone I know has used that term it has never been to describe those with sn or any kind of disability. Terminology and language changes.

Also, not related exactly but anyway, last summer we had an issue with some people who put ACID (and i dont mean the drug) on the slide at another childrens park near by and it burnt 2 children that went down it.

why? what on earth possess someone to do that?

fucking stupid people!

OP posts:
maisiemackenzie · 05/04/2011 15:00

Are you actually joking? because i find it really fucking offensive, and i'm pretty sure that it is used to mean SN in the most derogatary sense of the word.

GypsyMoth · 05/04/2011 15:00

no edit facility.....its there to offend for good....or untill thread is deleted

tibni · 05/04/2011 15:05

So you didn't mean it? But you have still been ignorant and offensive.

Shoesytwoesy · 05/04/2011 15:08

just report the post, no point trying to educate the op

knittedbreast · 05/04/2011 15:08

oh well. I have never been asked not to use that word before ever, in fact i have never met anyone before who has assumed i was talking about it in that context at all. to any of you who are offended, i apologise. It is not used in reference to those with sn or disability. Just in reference to the people who burnt down the play park and who certainly do not suffer sn or disability.
