Members JBecker Posted May 7, 2008 Members Share Posted May 7, 2008 THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!! First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes. Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking. As infants &children, we wo uld ride in c ars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pickup on a warm day was always a special treat. We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this. We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank Kool-aid made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because, WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING! We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we wer e OK. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hi ll, only to find out we forgot the brakes! After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem. We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or chat rooms....... WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them! ;We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents. We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever. We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not poke out very many eyes. We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them! Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law! Th ese g enerations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever! The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL! If YOU are one them, CONGRATULATIONS! You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the law yers and the government regulat ed so much of our lives for our own good . While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave (and lucky) their parents were. Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?! You are the appitamy of the protected generation It's too bad that other than having an original Nintendo with like 2 games and never having a BB gun, I did everything in that list. But I was born in 1987 how is that possible? OMFG?Also, you forgot the part where my parents read to me or had me read every night since I was 2 years old so I could grow up to not become a {censored}ty internet bully who validates himself by making the internet "serious business" while accusing other generations of being "tainted" by technology.

Members JBecker Posted May 7, 2008 Members Share Posted May 7, 2008 Oh, and you're not even from the states. Did you have Little League? Or are you just trying to claim a slice of Americana to make everyone else think you're awesome (not working). Yeah, I collected baseball cards, too. Did you miss that past time? That's lame.

Having regular Nintendo 5 years after it was cool and 5 years before it became cool again FTMFW.
