I've seen others *** about that, too. So did I for a while. But
watch a race closely - especially the LAST of the season. Can't remember
the driver, but he hit the wall going into a corner and couldn't get off the
wall till he was just about at a standstill. Seems pretty real to me.
While the PHYSICAL reason a real racer gets stuck to a wall the "virtual"
reason we do may differ, I think the FACT that it's modeled is pretty
accurate.
But, hey, I've never driven a car on a racetrack so it's not like I'd
know.

For starters, preparing is not training. If I prepare someone how to
handle bullying do I do so by making them a bully? And to group the
actions of those who hate, kill and destroy with that of swearing is
really way off the mark don't you think. Unless you believe they are
the same in which case we are at a m***loggerhead which neither of us
is going to come to an agreement on.
However, my point was if you are against those kinds of things then it
is up to you as a parent to explain to your child, when you think s/he
is old enough to understand, why you are against those kind of things.
It is up to you to let your child know that s/he will come across those
kinds of things. Preparing your child certainly isn't about turning
him/her into the very things that you are against and the only way to do
this is to be as open and honest as possible about those things as soon
as the child is ready.
There are things in this world that, even if they are unacceptable to
you, are still very commonplace. Why would you want to sweep them under
the carpet? Isn't it better for your child that, when they start
showing an interest, that learning about these things came from you. At
least then you can have an influence on how your child should take these
things onboard.
No. In that case what do I know then? :-)

No person's opinions can be said to be
more correct than another's, because each is
the sole judge of his or her own experience.
May I wish you the best of luck if you ever take on that awesome responsibility
of creating and raising a child.

This appears as the subject every time one of the allegedly concerned parents
posts tor register their complaint about the "veiled cursing"
issue.......Seems as though they have kept this ridiculous thread alive way too
long..... each time they post a response they are doing just what they are
opposed to....
SMART PEOPLE......
Let it go!!!!!

No... that is when a car is pitting far in front of you, several seconds in
front of you.
I'm talking about a car or two that are in the groove, at full speed entering
turn three, the field all in line, and then the AI jams on the brakes because
someone decided to slow from race speed to pit speed while still in the groove.
If you are in that pack, on the low line, there is now warning.
The only way around it is when I am in the AI's pit window, I don't drive in
the low groove in turn three behind another car. At most tracks, that is not
the optimum line to drive, but it beats risking crunching your front end.
I guess I just started doing that automatically when I notice the AI making pit
stops. The first one always stops your heart, though...<g>
