That sounds terrible, but "more education" won't, and never will, change attitudes or behavior. Psychopaths will always do what they want. Going Big Mother on a particular sport for the actions of a few independent persons doesn't address anything other than destroy that sport. Wishful thinking does nothing.
- hutzlibu 5y agoPsychopaths will not do bad things, if they fear real consequences. The course is very simple but basically a reminder of the rules. Now potential violaters are more aware of it. Combine that with real consequences - and the number of idiots flying close to airports or peoples bedrooms will get lower.
- cecilpl2 5y agoEducation is aimed at people who are well-intentioned but unaware, which is a vastly larger population than those who are intentionally causing harm. How will requiring people to take a 30 minute class "destroy the sport"?
- handrous 5y agoReally, this seems like an effort to save "the sport". If a few people keep doing enough damage with these things, or generally behaving like jackasses, they're gonna receive a lot more regulation than just requiring a brief class, guaranteed.
