If you raised children, would you try to cause them the minimum pain possible?

<p>sorry to hijack the thread, but i don’t feel like its necessary to open a new thread for a few simple questions. fizix2, i just read an article about Caltech’s basketball team in TIME, and it mentioned that not all the team’s players even played basketball in high school. so i was just wondering, do they hold tryouts or something? also, the article never mentioned the girls team, so are they relatively good? and what about football or other sports?</p>
