Except they could DIE as all it takes is a cut to an artery, and they could bleed to death

[Kagus]

Actually, the rates of serious injury are remarkably low. From what I could tell, the UK Forest School Association has really only had one incident involving one of their schools, and that was when a tree branch spontaneously disconnected from the tree and hit a 10-year-old (he lived, and was apparently fairly excited about becoming "bionic" when he learned he'd need to have metal plates installed to help him heal properly).

Similarly, a supervisor at a Danish forest kindergarten reported that he'd only ever experienced one serious injury in seventeen years, and that was when a parent drove their car over a child's foot.


Cursory googling hasn't turned up a single death related to forest kindergartens, and there are several thousand of them spread around the world, and have been for a few years. Only things I've seen so far have been adults going on stabbing sprees in Chinese kindergartens (what the fuck), and one girl who froze to death at a traditional kindergarten in Moscow after the class had gone for a walk and the teachers forgot to bring her back in.

To be fair, I can definitely see why giving kindergartners knives is a bad idea, because they tend to be dumb and clumsy, and that is a bad combination with sharp objects and forest critters

Makes sense to me. Dump 'em all deep in the wilderness, armed only with knives -  the ones who make it back (be it through strength, cunning, teamwork or pure survival instinct) are worth investing further effort in the education and upbringing of.

Where, curiously, forest schools are not recognized as educational institutions.

I'm so confused?

You, ah... You're not alone in that.

What?

He’s talking about the developers for the Battlefield franchise??

[Trekkin]

You're all putting infinitely more thought into trying to understand the post than ever went into writing it.

Just dropping some hot spoilers for the new battlefield bad company two

why is autism speaks still around, they're fucking horrible. I love that they perpetuate the idea that autistic children lead to divorces and murder suicides, and that they spent lots of money to prove that VACCINES DON'T CAUSE AUTISM (common fucking sense would tell you that dead viruses don't cause autism)

[Kagus]

From what I recall, the issue was with thimerosal and its mercury content, because mercury is dangerous.

Still meaningless, as it's not particularly dangerous in that form, and it is of course managed by trained and educated professionals. ...that, and when the anti-vax movement really started kicking into gear, thimerosal was no longer even used in most vaccines.


But all that aside, it doesn't necessarily follow that dead viruses won't cause autism if you have no idea how viruses work to begin with. Or autism, for that matter.

Bought a shiny new stick of RAM so I could play on my server while hosting it. Doesn't seem like my computer wants to use the new stick and has binned the extra capacity.
