Uh...I grew up in a fairly Mexican family and have beat my share of pinatas, yet I am not a deranged sociopath. I have also yet to be shown the correlation between beating a pinata at a kid's party and sociopathic behavior. Of course, the Brady folks probably could whip one up for me.

Cause = Beating Piñatas
Effect = Being a gun owner

Beating piñatas as a kid results on people being gun owners as adults. Oh the humanity. :fire

Let's see... My parents lived with asbestos, lead paint, real piñatas, played with mercury, and a dozen other things now deemed "dangerous". They are still alive and productive members of society (unless it's all been a dream because I've been sniffing model glue).
. . . rode bicycles without helmets, rode in the back of pickups, sometimes standing up, sat in a boat and fished while not wearing life jackets, climbed things they should not have been climbing without any sort of safety gear, etc. It's amazing that anyone survived. :biggrinjester:

Oh I've done that! It's fun trying to keep my balance against all the lateral forces when the driver decided that he really really needs to be going left RIGHT NOW... Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure that I rather quickly sat down. It was still fun though.

Like the door gunner in FMJ said, "Easy! You just don't lead 'em so much!"

That reminds me. Does anyone else think an Easter egg shoot would be more fun than Easter egg hide-and-seek?
It would be like sniper training for kids. Let's see how many eggs you can hit from one spot on the back porch.
