despite all the allegations of child labor law violations, I totally would have loved to do something like that when I was younger. thought it was an interesting concept, but my child-free life as a bachelor caused me to forget just how damn annoying kids younger than, like, 14-15 are.
anyone catch kid nation?

Kid Nation is way better than any other reality show I have seen. Seriously.. that show is inspiring.
I don't know wtf is with parents now, but it seems like many don't want to admit that part of life is getting beat up, made fun of, pushed around, and manipulated.. But it all serves to make you better.
The kids on that show could teach the baby boomers a thing or two.

i like this show. i dunno how much of it's scripted but it's amazing what they know, what they do, mannerisms and decision making skills. I've always had jobs up until i graduated college with youth and this show shows the breadth of their knowledge and skills.
child labor laws for glorified 'camping' ?

about the allegations, im pretty sure i read that parents basicially signed over the childs lifes and waved any right to sue is anything bad happened,
i try to catch it when possible (the start time isn't great for me). some of the kids are funny in their awkwardness and also intelligence.
during last night's challenge prize, i was like wtf, they didn't have toothbrushes all this time??? if they didn't win the challenge, would they have to go through the whole season without brushing their teeth?

it's an interesting show. I think a truely interesting expreriment would have been to have a group of adults do the exact same process and see how the two compared.
This show was never in direct competition with The Amazing Race.
Great show... I want a sequel of Sociopath Nation. But I think we get a Kid Nation 2 based on what I read on Wikipedia.

The "think of the children" stuff now is really sad.
A clip from a paper I was reading sums it up:
"We played dodge ball and sometimes the ball would really hurt. We got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits for the accidents."
"our actions were our own. Consequences were expected. No one to hide behind. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of."
"We had fights and punched each other and got black and blue, but we learned to get over it"
"We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle "
"We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank sugar soda but were never overweight...we were always outside playing."
