I remember all the cool GI Joe toys and cartoons. I always iked how BAD marksmen they were, never hit crap on either side. I guess they felt to not show that and traumatize kids for the rest of their lives................

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
My feedback
Classic! Haven't seen the cartoon forever.
Admit it, your favorites were the ones with the fuzzy hair and beards.........Originally Posted by van7559
Everthing blows up, no one gets hurt. That always irradiated me as a kid.
Not when Joe had a lit M80 duct taped to his back...........
Irradiated ? Playing with nukes, were you ?
The "King Fu Grip"!
How many of the 11" figures died a ghastly death of BB gun, Black Cats and Ronson Lighter fluid???
About a dozen on my end.
I had a bunch of cool "sets" that went with them, the downed pilot, frogman, WWII bazooka man, Green Beret, jeep with the 105 recoiless rifle, bomb squad, helicopter(that I wanted to kill my sister when she broke the rotor) mountaineer, sniper, all kinds of cool stuff.
I just about went into shock when I saw what some of it is worth now.....
The most important thing to be learned from those who demand "Equality For All" is that all are not equal...

Yeah well I was a bit of a destructive child at times. Many a Joe died burned at the stake etc. I was talking about the cartoon though. I had the same problem with the A-Team.
I remember my He-Man action figures burned my Joes up and ripper their legs off. I bet some poor kid living in my old house digging in the dirt under the deck found them and now has to go to therapy.
I was a little too young for the big Joes and too old for the smaller ones, but I burned/shot/exploded my way through plenty of Star Wars action figures.

Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
