This crap that is so common nowadays really bites me. If we never teach our kids about competition and failure (as an essential part of winning there has to be a loser) what happens the first time they have an appraisal at work? Does their boss say - "sorry Johnny, you're crap, but I'm giving you the same pay rise as Bert, otherwise it's not fair".

Is he hell.
