This thread is a great read.
Millions of snowballs thrown in the last week in the uk and the precious mummy's boys of the GM forum manage to find a gripe about it. Pathetic.
Go and see your therapists and tell them all about it. Regress to that day when the naughty boys put snow down your back when you were 9. How traumatic.
Chucking snowballs at cars is great fun and has no downside, unless you're a complete wimp. Or a grown up wimp that is now a killjoy.....

Exception that proves the rule. Accidents happen to ten year olds all the time in all weathers.
The media manage to find one story on the evils of snow for miserable sods to lap up and preach to the masses. What about the other side of the story with thousands of children laughing and having fun in the most exciting weather for children that we get in the UK?
PM me your address and next time it snows, I will come up with my kids and pelt you to smithereens.

I love how someone in the thread said that if you are easily shocked, you shouldn't be driving. How often have you been driving down a road, and something as small as a stone can flick off the car in front and smacks into your windscreen and make a loud noise. It startles you...and I sure as hell jump a little bit as it catches me off guard. Things should not be thrown at moving cars. End.

Have you crashed your car while that happens?
Throwing snowballs at a car is fine as long as:
a) it isn't thrown at the windscreen when the car is travelling at speed/on a busy road
b) the snowball isn't hard enough to dent a car/have a rock in the middle.
If we're going down the route of "things that have put a 10 year old girl in hospital being banned" then let's get rid of cars altogether.

In the perfect, harmonious nirvana world, throwing snowballs at cars shouldn't happen. But it does, so man-up, deal with it. <First World problems>

I have no issues at all with kids having snowball fights - it's great fun and been involved in them as a kid and an adult
But throwing them at moving cars is going to have danger associated with it - I posted 4 stories of car crashes caused by someone throwing snowballs at cars
It's not fun for the parents of that little girl who ended up in hospital , it's not fun for the other people who have a crash.
It's fun to have a snowball fight and great seeing kids laughing and enjoying themselves - but teenagers lining up to throw at moving cars - that's not fun for everyone and can cause harm.

Fascinating how throwing snowballs at a car has got folks frothing at the mouth and quite possibly harbouring private thoughts of breaking out the pitchforks and bringing back the birch for the responsible rapscallions. Yet a thread where grown men smash the windows of a mini bus and smack a 10 yr old boy in the face with a bottle, doing serious damage and puting him in hospital, does not merit the same (or any) condemnation.
Some folks with weird priorities on what's right and wrong on this forum it would seem. Is it indicative of the golfing community at large do you think, or just a peculiarity of the forum?
It's weans chucking snawbaws fps!

Sorry haven't seen anything about 10 year old in hospital after s bottle in his face but that doesn't mean people think it's ok ?!?
Have people said its right for that to happen ? If not then maybe don't judge them would be the best road to take.

Why drag other subject matter into a post about throwing snowballs at cars and the consequences of those actions? The point you make while disgraceful and in no way should be condoned is irrelevant to my original post.
Your second point about 'folks with weird priorities on what's right and wrong', my original post had no priorities, it is on one subject "Scrotes throwing snowballs at cars", it's a single subject for discussion in the appropriate out of bounds section with the GM forum, for which it has sparked an interesting debate, with as ever the GM community divided in opinion and for the most part we have 8 pages of civilised banter.

Like I say, fascinating.
We judge people everyday regardless of quantity or quality of information, whether we care to admit it or not, it's how opinions are formed.
I'm a big boy, I'm well aware of which road I should/shouldn't take. But advice is always received with the same courtesy it's imparted with. :thup:

We aren't talking about Jolly Capers on the heath here,with young children Tossing fluffy Snowballs inbetween Eating Their Waitrose Gooseberry and Cinnamon Yoghurts with mummy.
Im taking it the OP is about gangs of black clad Teenage Scrotes in a rough arse part of town with no respect for anything Hardballing Rock hard Snowballs into anything that moves.
If it happens to you and you get home with a bit dent in your door and your happy with that and the repair bill because "it's just the local Scallys having a bit of fun" then Theres no problem is there.:thup:
Id be more than a bit Pissed off though!

Is there a thread that I have missed or something ?
Is there a thread where you want us all to go to condemn some actions ?
If a young lad has been hurt with a bottle in his face then that's disgusting and wrong and I hope they get the person who did it
I have my priorities fine thanks but don't think it is fair to judge others because of what they haven't said

The point is extremely relevant.
Throwing things at cars seemed to be the main thrust of this thread. I merely alluded to a thread with a similar content (but more serious consequences I'd say), drawing comparison between the two.
Like I said before. I found it fascinating. Surely that's not a problem?
Maybe you could let me know what's allowable on your threads in future though, that way I won't divert from the 'banter'.
Carry on.

Don't get your knickers in a twist LP. I was genuinely fascinated by my general perception and voiced (typed) my thoughts as such. It's no biggie, it's what I thought folks did on a forum.
Anyway, apparently I'm off track so I'll let it slide, and everyone can carry on the 'banter'.
I guess there's middle ground in most things, i.e. fluffy snowball = no real harm done apart from what the.... was that, but block of ice = pure vandalism.
How about a bit of reflection/balance to the absolute no brigade? Someone falls of a bike and breaks their wrist = bans bikes. Someone breaks a leg playing football = ban football. Someone breaks an arm playing rugby = ban rugby... life's little scrapes happen, and wrapping in cotton wool isn't needed.
A nanny state we don't need, but I agree that some education wouldn't go amiss.

I tend to agree with that. Fun can (unfortunately) go wrong on occasion.
As a wise man once said, 'when life hands you melons, make melonade!'.
