mind listing them out?  Can't view videos at work, and I'll probably forget to look when I get home.

Pretty fun stuff

And yes i've done all of them too :aok


1) Play with fire (learn how to control it)
2) Own a pocket knife
3) Throw a spear (or throw things in general)
4) Deconstruct appliances
5) Break the Digital Millennium Contract Act (rip cds) - some laws are stupid and require judgment on behalf of the individual.
6) Drive a car

owning firearms should be in there.   although.. done properly there is no real danger.

Stupid parents generally have stupid offspring.

I agree add to the list owning firearms.


I learned to drive in an old 3 speed chevy truck in a pasture of ours. Nothing teaches control like a good ol' muddy field and some horsepower.

learn to weld and to ride motorcycles and to kill and cook your own food and to repair mechanical things.

you don't have to teach em how to ride a taxi or how to tip.  or what makeup looks the most "natural" on men or their skin tone.

#5 could also include (for those of us that predate the CD) copying albums to cassettes and making our own mix tapes and them giving them to friends...

did all those plus played with gunpowder, gas, and fireworks,  all though not all at the same time...
