Amen.
Those were good times.
Simple times.
No shit. It's a country of pansies any more.
Grew up during the tail end of that. Good times. (And love the Vault Boy pic at the end lol)
Yeah, 100% right! The things we did as kids, people would faint over now!
What's that pistol the cop has at 1:50? Almost looks like a Luger.
Nope...it's a Glock.
The sad part is reading the comments from the so called "smart" kids. Most of them missed the point.
You mean the point that they are all a bunch of pussies?Quote:

I hope to bring my daughter up the same way I was raised
Same here... except for the playing until the street lights came on, there aren't any streetlights in Evergreen... at least outside of HWY 74/73.Quote:

Thank god I grew up during those years. I think my knees were skinned for every summer between ages eight throough twelve, climbing trees and woodpiles.
It was good to be a kid!
Holy Crap! I'm OLD?!
I should of sued my parents !!!!
Comments are funny! "Oooooh, our generation has the biggest, toughest problems to deal with, waaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaa".
we're so screwed :(
Tell me 'bout it. Did they say 50's, 60's & 70's? Yep, that's me. No street lights & started playing baseball first in the front yard, then in the farmer's field. Guess we just all lucked out to get thru it.Quote:

Kids these days would be scratching their heads... "Uh, what's a farmer's field?" [Shake]Quote:

O.K. It was a different & I believe much better time.
But.....some folks must still be doing a great job raising your families. Look at all the heroes out there defending us old farts. We all know some who have given all....to defend us old farts. Some are on this forum. I still think there IS hope for the future generations. It will just be harder for them to carry on. Only time will tell how it all turns out for them.
I disagree with the helmet thing... riding a bike without a helmet is a good way to quickly change a scraped knee and a bump on the head into a seriously debilitating brain injury. I would say you should talk to my cousin about it, but he's not a very good listener anymore... He crashed his bike without a helmet when he was 11 and is now 34 years old and can't even eat or shower without assistance. He will probably never have a mentality any higher than a 6 year old. My kids will definitely wear helmets while riding a bike.
For most other issues though, if it isn't bleeding profusely and there aren't any bones sticking out, they should walk it off. [Abused]
Yep so true.
Its basically like the thread I started but with video

yupp, lived those time and loved them, and yes my kids have to listen to the stories lol
Amen brother, Amen!!Quote:

Pulled over for erratic driving. They'd hold you till someone came and picked you up.

Briggs & Stratton 5hp motors. Parking lot fences never jumped in front of you so fast.Quote:

Some of my bike wrecks (without a helmet) left a whole side of my body road-rashed. I should have died several times over from all of the crazy shit I tried, sometimes failed at and just got lucky. A lot of friends and school mates were not so lucky. What is the point of a life without risk. That was the dystopia the movies pointed at.Quote:

We can be in a crowed room and so alone with a phone as our only "real" friend.Quote:

I won't go into the go-cart I bought w/ Christmas, BD, mowing, farm/fence and helping money pre-driving...
Wow, HOW did we all live? Err, maybe a better statement is it seems many of us GOT TO LIVE!

Good news is grandson #1 is ALL BOY and Dad/Mom are cool and happy with a real boy... This will likely be fun! ;)
Guess I am an old fart. I remember fondly all of the crazy things we did, but we made it. I am tired of the government protecting us from ourselves.
+1, I may not be as old as some, but when I see what kids nowadays get away with, I just shake my head.Quote:
