    Yup, he says it for me, my kids have not been coddled, they will run away into the bush for 1/2 a day, work by themselves in the shed and are generally responsible, caring guys. The BS around kids will emasculate future generations. All to help a bloated, parasitic insurance industry thrive, pathetic isnt it.

    Couldn't agree more. I lived on a farm until I was 5 and helped Dad until it was sold when I was 8. Dad used to put the ute in first gear with an auger on the back and tell me to follow him in the tractor with a silo on it. When we got to the paddock I had to put on the brake and stall the ute. I used to love doing it, although wasn't so much of a fan when he put me in the tractor working a paddock while he slept in the ute listening to the ashes. I got distracted and chased quails around the paddock which got me in a bit of trouble.
    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.
