Are we smothering our kids?

Young 'not allowed out to play'
Many children are being stopped from playing outside by adults afraid for their safety, according to a survey.
The survey was part of the charity's Good Childhood Inquiry - a series of reflections on childhood.
Experts told the inquiry of the importance of letting children have the freedom to play independently and make friends.
Being isolated from or bullied by other youngsters can lead to serious problems such as depression, aggression, anti-social and delinquent behaviour, they warned.
"As a society we are in a real quandary; on the one hand we want freedom for our children but on the other we are becoming increasingly frightened to let them out."

The risk of abduction remains tiny. In Britain, there are now half as many children killed every year in road accidents as there were in 1922 - despite a more than 25-fold increase in traffic.
In 1970, 80% of primary school-age children made the journey from home to school on their own. It was what you did. Today the figure is under 9%. Escorting children is now the norm - often in the back of a 4x4.
We are rearing our children in captivity - their habitat shrinking almost daily.
In 1970 the average nine-year-old girl would have been free to wander 840 metres from her front door. By 1977 it was 280 metres.
Now the limit appears to have come down to the front doorstep.
And the horrifying story of four-year-old Madeleine McCann, apparently abducted from her bed in Portugal while her parents ate a meal in a nearby restaurant, is likely to mean British parents pull their children even closer to them.

Tips for first time? Im almost 18, and i drink, and ive tryed pot a few times, but never really been stoned. Anyway, didnt think i would, but i started thinking about trying ecstasy, so i did some research on it, and saw that it doesnt seem as bad as i thought(in moderation) and now that i know alot more about it, i still want to try it. Im pretty sure im going to do it on the weekend coming.
Two of my girl-friends did it for the first time last weekend, but i wanted to wait till this weekend instead... so yeah, we got drunk, and they had brought two ecstasy pills that they said were red with a bird on it, like a dove, (they didnt tell me they were going to take them that night, but i soon found out) ..one of them took about half a pill, (and had drank more than the othe girl) and when it first hit her she was on the ground laughing then ended up running around acting crazy and talking cr*p for a while and laying all over the floor.. but this wore off pretty much after 1 mabye just about 2 hours... and the other girl she had half aswell but it wasnt affecting her like our other friend, so stupidly, she went and took the other whole pill they had, and yes it effected her then! She went pretty weird, talkin cr*p and such, but while i was there she was mainly on the floor 98% of the time singing to herself and stuff! By the end of the night, my friends older sister and a few friends came home and helped her(the girl who took 1 and a half pills) cos she was kinda all weird lol. Oh and you also cant feel pain while on E right? Because the girl who took half a pill kept falling back and hitting her head on the corners of tables and stuff by accident, but she said she was doing it sometimes because she found it crazy she couldnt feel it. This girl who took half the pill doesnt remember too much, but the other girl who took more said she remembers almost all of it. And she even had common sense as she turned down a guy who was there when they were going to have sex because she said she didnt wanto because she wasnt in the right state of mind. So anyway, why do you think they were laying on the floor so much? Especially the one who took more...?
So i think it should be okay to do it once. I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips or anything, on what to do to prepare for this, and while im on it, and the day after.. so its a good experience rather than bad, im doing it only once, and so i wanna make it a safe and good time. Me and the girl who took half a pill last weekend, i think we are getting one and going halves? Shes only doing it again with me because i dont wanna do it on my own. I dont know what pill to get though, there are so many. And i dont particulary want to be laying on the floor all the time like they were lol, it looked funny but embarrasing from my point of view cos i was only drinking, id rather be a bit more alive and walking around lol. Um i think thats it, just any tips or anything on this would be great! Thanx for your time! :wink:

Parties when Tony Blair fcuks off? Right are there gonna be nationwide celebrations when Blair finally leaves or what?? I don't mean just in forlorn woods and marshes etc, l mean in city centres and the lot?
It's a good idea methinks! Something to eclipse even the millennial celebrations would be nice. As they say around here and any other responsible website, no explicit details of illegal parties please!
The big day:
Wednesday 27th June
I'd be well up for something in the city centre, but apart from that l think i'll just not stop for him!
Farmer giles Heard this on farmers report this monrning

theres also a link to a poll.
R.A.F – Free4alternatives @ G8 i amnto sure if i post this on the right place, but i guess the event is politcally enough to be here.
free4later.org, former known as free4euroalernatives, chanaged mision for this year. the struggle against demolition of freespaces and against polcie brutality didn´t loose imortance to us, but for 2007 we put our priority on the g8, simply because we see a chance to move something for the location in the quiet middle/north of europe.
we believe that it is necessary and a bit of a duty that freeparty/freepsaces are represented at the g8. also we hope to mobilize people to come, which would have rather stayed at home.
our site is barely finished, lot of content is still missing, but we keep it daily updated and working on.
for the entire planing of this event we are working with the global network against the g8 via dissentnetwork and all the others which became a quiet genius mashup of different groups for one aim: SHUT DOWN THE G8 !!
we are going to build a tekcamp, a autonomous zone for people to share their resistant art and way of living, to be, to rest, to meet up etc.
this tekcamp is called resistance art festival, cause it will be build with our existing infra structure. one could call it teknival, but it wont be classically like this as we go contacted by so many different artists, so we can provide a multi-art-share-place !
i guess the call doesnt leave much questions open, if there are any, dont hesitate to contact us :)
Free4alternatives
is an activists group coming from the Free Spaces scene (Free Party, Teknival, Squat, Trailer site, TAZ,...)fighting against liberty deprivations and standardization of masses for the right to alternatives and autonomy...
This time we want to mobilize our scene to come to the blockades and protests against the G8 2007 on the 2nd to 8th June in Heiligendamm (Rostock, Germany) by organizing a Free Artistic Space there:
Hello Artivists from all over the world!
Press said that the RAF might come back for G8, it's true!! It's the Resistance Art Festival
We plan to organize an artistic Temporary Autonomous Zone near Heiligendamm during the G8 summit in June from the 2nd (evening) till the end of the blockades. We are several tekno sound systems and demonstration organizers from all over Europe and we'll bring our gigs to Heiligendamm, we are all used to create Free Autonomous Spaces...
Our aim are to offer people a place to rest and to find a new energy to go back to the barricades and to mobilize all the people that wouldn't come without this event (don't laugh it's true, a lot of people would come if they can find also a festival there, it's a reason more to come for them). Our message is in our art (music, video, juggling, painting,...) and we do intend to make noise to be heard! We want people coming back from the barricades to be able to find a place to free their minds and moods from all aggressiveness and to motivate them back with our art...
Moreover the 8 bastards will speak about the copyrights and the distribution networks of art (DRMs, licenses, peer2peer, copy protections,...) so we cannot let them do without showing that Free Art is a reality, that we can do autonomous spaces for free and offering even more than "just" art to the people, and that we refuse their standardization of art and their capitalist way of seeing art in general.. Our art is not to sell!!
We have our own hardware (speakers, amplifiers, trucks, videoprojectors,...) so any artist can come and we'll be glad to accept any collaboration offered...
We are also in contacts with alternative artists from other scenes (rock, rap,...) and trying to arrange concerts too...
We asked for a place but still did not get any answers but even if they don't give us a place we'll take it, we are all used to that and ready to defend our camp... But honestly we don't think they will give a fuck about people dancing when they will have thousands of people trying to break their fucking fence at the same time
We have organized an illegal Teknival with 5000 people in Germany (Baden-Baden) last year (and several ones all over Europe), just after the demonstration we organized on the 15th April 2006 in Strasbourg in front of the European Parliament, and some of our group also organized numerous illegal protests in Berlin (and legal ones too), so we are quite aware of how it goes there in Germany...
