A couple of good points - (1) the "nanny" state enacting bylaws prohibiting people from doing things which might be fun just because they might risk hurting themselves in the process, and (2) litigious societies where people file lawsuits in the hope that someone else will assume the consequences of their carelessness or stupidity.

Nevertheless, if anyone wants to organize mobile wet events, please feel free to use my calendar page:

Good point. And the way things are here in the U.S., the first time you accidentally hit somebody with a waterbucket, you'd likely find yourself in court, getting sued. Like I said, it's nice to dream.

In the free world, in places such as the UK and the US, this could never happen as our freedom is controlled by "nanny state" regulations and our amount of actual freedom is very, very limited.

Health and safety laws would never allow what heppens in Thailand to ever happen on that scale in our FREE countries.

Funny thing about the free democratic world, we are not actually very free! There are laws and regulations for almost everything fun.

Nice thought though.

Mobile clubbing

By Waterspaniel - Tue 08/03/05 15:52:47 GMT

Just saw a piece on TV about mobile clubbing, where a crowd shows up at a predetermined place and time to engage in a given activity. Apparently, this started out as just dancing, but today in Israel they had a mass pillow fight, so it's not limited to dancing. Of course, they do this in Thailand every year, and Leon has been more or less doing it for awhile now. And there are certain countries where there are periodic water oriented festivities and ceremonies. But I started thinking, wouldn't it be nice to see this idea spread and organize water events around the world, such as en masse water fights. I know it'll never happen, but it's nice to dream.
