I was basically saying the complaining about holdbacks has to stop. I was taking a pro grade-based stance, an opinion. You threw mud. I love when my son goes up against older boys because HE likes the challenge.

To stunad two Long Island has a population of almost 8 million people now - you can find this information in multiple ways on the internet. I do my homework before I post. Please tell me you don't live on the island. Also - you are telling me that no one on the island holds back their kids in kindergarten or 1st grade due to academic, social, or development issues? If you think that the answer is no, then you are truly one of the dumbest people on the planet. I talked about different types of holdbacks. ALL teams have holdbacks. All of them. Some have more than others - my point is: who cares?

The two of you stunands chose to pick and choose arguments that make no sense. Thankfully, I was able to have a decent discussion with someone on this thread who made good counterpoints (to witch I agreed with to a certain extent).
You are so notIntelligent it hurts even read your post, for starters I also read the population report you did that includes Queens and Brooklyn as part of L.I., which, theoretically they are, but are actually part of the 5 bores that make up N.Y.C. and are not counted towards the population of the non N.Y.C counties that make up what is known to everyone with a brain as Long Island. You obviously do not have a brain so we will discount your stupidity on this subject. As to to second part of your ridiculous post, yes some parents on L.I. chose to have there children , born late in any year, held back in Kindergarten or first grade. This is a far different reason than parents from Maryland and Pennsylvania hold there kids back in the 8th grade for athletic reasons. Please try and grasp the simplistic reasoning to both of these points, I know it must be hard for you, but try
