    The kids that made the dare should have to repeat a year. That would be nothing compared to if the boy had died.

    Huh? because kids made a dare they should be punished?
    Don't you think that's a bit bass-ackwards?

    Man, whatever happened to personal responsibility?

    Flick: Are you kidding? Stick my tongue to that stupid pole? That's dumb!
    Schwartz: That's 'cause you know it'll stick!
    Flick: You're full of it!
    Schwartz: Oh yeah?
    Flick: Yeah!
    Schwartz: Well I double-DOG-dare ya!
    Narrator: NOW it was serious. A double-dog-dare. What else was there but a "triple dare ya"? And then coupe de gras of all dares sinister triple-dog-dare.
    Schwartz: I TRIPLE-dog-dare ya!
    Narrator: Schwartz created a unique breach of ettiquete by skipping the triple dare and going right for the throat!

    Daring can be dangerous and (stupid), yes the kid who drank the chemical was stupid too. He also should have some consequesnces from this. I think he has had one. Perhaps he can also repeat a grade. No one should die.
