Things you're tired of seeing in movies

tired of movies and TV where little kids have major roles and are just as or more powerful than adults. sick of it. Wesley Crusher on steroids
or when they are smarter than all the adults around them - only because the adults were written as idiots.
or when the kid's intuition is naturally more meaningful than an adult's rational judgement - e.g. the kid stepping out alone to greet the rabid monster who just ate 30 people so it will see that the kid means no harm and will calm down. It's that kind of magical thinking that created folks like Timothy Treadwell R.I.P.

Agreed on all counts.

They probably never spent much time (if any) with any real children. As for Timothy Treadwell: the way he and his girlfriend died was just horrific. The tragedy in it was that it didn't have to happen; the society we live in today protects people too much from the natural consequences of bad decisions; up until recent times, kids learned the hard way how things did (and did not work). I suspect with many of the writers now, they suffer the same issues, and don't know how things really work.

The problem is that many people taking risks do so in the hope of being saved by (put any emergency service/organization here) if stuff happens.
Personal responsibilities for your own actions seems to be a mysterious concept:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Meh. There were always people winning Darwin awards.

I think we see more of them than ever in the news because there are 8 billion people on earth and the planet is small. Everywhere is patrolled and everything is caught on camera. Every bizarre news story from every tiny backwater place can go worldwide if it's amusing. Some guy in rural Bolivia has an accident with a cow milking machine, and people in Moscow will be laughing about it 12 hours later.

While the population has increased, common sense has actually decreased.

Back in the 1890's, you didn't see people wandering into traffic while writing on handheld slates or notepads.
 
Yep, 'cause it was harder to stop a horse draw vehicle on a dime:lol::lol:
But they were maneuverable as heck, I hear.
