  Wrong. It DOES NOT take a village to raise a child. It takes a loving and caring mother and father, both of good character.

  A village has loafers, drunks, the village idiots, and other unworthies hanging about among the good folks. If that is what you think is good for your child, then you are greatly mistaken.

  It is not a literal term. It is meant to convey the meaning that it takes more than just loving parents to raise a child. It takes doctors, nurses, teachers, law enforcement, uncles, aunties, grand parents, friends and others to raise a socially adept, healthy, educated, productive individual.

  SHB, I respect your beliefs and your request. I totally agree that this site is not the place for sexual photos or conversation. It is a virtual golf game, to be enjoyed, to make new friends, and a way to pass the time. With that said, it was not originally intended for 13 old kids. They don't usually have a cash flow they can share with WGT. Any time a minor gets on a computer, they have access to anything and everything. There will always be certain people who  try to corrupt any form of social media. For those who are offended by others religious convictions, these need to be kept in the proper perspective, same as those who are offended by sexual content. I keep this game as close as I can, to the original purpose of the game. It was intended to be a leisurely sport with the up most of honesty and integrity. We can't police all the people, all the time. When I encounter situations in real life, that offend myself, or my family members, I avoid those situations. If you have witnessed anything on WGT that offends you, it is your choice to stay or leave. Kind of like the post months ago, where a member wanted all the female golfers to dress like Minnie Pearl. Please don't take me wrong, I'm with you, but we can't do much about it.

  i agree with with you cowboy for it really all depends on what type of village it is. i spent a tour in afghanistan and i would not want my child raised there for sure.  of course, that is just one man's perspective. i suppose there are some that would love to raise their children in that country.  the beauty of choice.

  I dare say that most people, like the Afghans over there, have no choice, but that's not the point of the saying:

  There are plenty more influences on a child than its parents.

  (brain finger ding thing )  

  Dear Frappefort, In laymans' terms, the medical condition you describe is a relatively new condition almost exclusively related  to WGT players that has yet to be given an official name to describe it. I propose it henceforth be referred to as F.B.F.D.T. or Frappafortian Brain Finger Ding Thing, so those of us who suffer from this malady  can recieve official recognition from the medical community and obtain proper treatment.

  Sincerely, Doc

  would that be like the brain-eye-finger interface crash? if you ever saw a WGT player taking a DWI, when asked to touch their nose, they would poke themselves in the eye
