Only if somebody teaches them to not be a menace to themselves and others

30 years ago when I was taken canoeing by my YMCA day camp, they spend
some time in a secluded bay teaching us strokes and how to handle the
canoes before being sent into a popular paddling area. These morons
didn't even TRY to steer or stop. They didn't even say "sorry".

Ok, you were in a kayak and couldn't avoid a boat load of little girls...and
you are ****ed. Get over it
