    We've become a nation of weaklings

    I turn on the local news this morning and nearly every school in the state is closed today, because it's cold. This is Wisconsin, It's supposed to be cold.

    I don't remember the schools ever closing 30 years ago. And if they did, it was a blizzard going on.

              Yep it is official.

              America was once known as land of the free and home of the brave is now the land of the fags and the homo of the pussies.

              How far we have fallen.

                  My wife is from WI also, I asked her about it and she said no it never happened when she was in school but it wasnt as cold as it is now.
                  We went to visit my inlaws once in Feb one year. It was zero the whole time. Since I lived in Atl for so long I didnt have the proper clothes putting gas in the car, no gloves, no hat ,in a hoodie it actually fucking hurt it was so cold. lol
                  Its a state of extremes, extreme cold and then for the brief summer extremely hot. It gets hotter up there then it does in GA its weird. I wouldn't mind extreme cold if the summers were mild.

                      Every generation says that about the generation before it.
                      This is from Socrates : ?Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.?

                          It's the same here in Michigan, and my memory from youth in regards to snow days. I recall one year the snow was something like 5-6' high and we still were going to school. I can't recall every having snow like that in the past 20 years, but they sure have a lot more days off by contrast. My niece is always off for some conference, weather, etc..

                                              No question that it's been cold this January, but as a resident we are prepared for it. Or at least we are supposed to be.

                                                  I saw on the local news the other night that this Jan was the coldest month in 35 years. Today in my area of Indiana or high is going to be 1 F and wind chills of -35 F.

                                                  We went out in the 4x4 yesterday and cause of the 30-50 MPH wind gusts we saw drifts over 6 ft tall

                                                  I remember the blizzard of 1978 and the whole city was shut down with 18-24" of snow dropped on us. The only people that were out were people with snowmobiles or people walking to local stores for food..

                                                  Stop with 30 years ago nothing was ever shut down cause I grew up in Northern IN and I remember many snow days growing up for really bad storms like this.

                                                      I used to love seeing the temps drop like that. Putting on as many layers as you could literally stand in used to be a challenge.

                                                      People will argue today that there may be some families who can't afford the snow gear, but you can buy a full snow suit for a kid for like 10 bucks at a value village or maybe even cheaper at a salvation army store. so that is out the window with me.

                                                          Nothing to do with being "weaklings", but it has everything to do with litigation and frivolous lawsuits that schools have to fear.

                                                                      http://www.wsbt.com/news/local/polic...z/-/index.html

                                                                      I was just watching the weather and they are saying in some areas of South Bend, IN they have up to 10 foot drifts.. If that isn't blizzard like conditions I don't know what is for Indiana. No I'm not saying that isn't normal in MN or WI.

We had school cancellation days for the following: too hot, ice. Never for being too cold, though as Tony mentioned I don't remember it ever being this cold for such a long stretch of time, so hard to say.

Throw in the wind and you have 4+ foot drifts on the rural roads that drift as soon as the plows go by.

He has to play the game in public about safety etc, but in private he says it's just easier to call days off than deal with parents calling and bitching about not calling off school, and the lawsuit threats that if won could cripple districts that may be smaller and less funded.

When it snowed, we were snowed in and that was that. It would take days for the plows to reach us and we were always prepared for it. We spent our summers gathering wood, fall raking up the leaves (two acres worth!), winters shoveling snow, and spring unfucking the damage winter just did. It was a vicious cycle.

                                                                                                                      Fuck that.

                                                                                                                                                  Facebook is where people post shit like this thread. Stuff about school closures. Moaning about pointless shit.

                                                                                                                                                  This is a porn forum for adult web masters.

                                                                                                                                                  I know you're not in porn, so I guess you got confused.
                                                                                                                                                  I clicked on your link to see what it was you do in the adult industry and my virus protection went off. Might want to fix that.

                                                                                                                                                  However, there are a lot of other non-adult related threads on GFY today. Are you going to go into those threads and post about how they shouldn't be here or making non-adult related threads.

At my house I showed -23f when I woke up. With wind they said it was -53f. Dangerous if you are not dressed for it.

He would rather go to school now when its shitty versus 80 degrees in June.

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

They told my mother in law because of some accident she has to keep the heat at 60 degrees.

But it still doesn't change that these days we aren't as tough as we once were. Nothing new about having brutal cold weather here.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      But I get what you're saying. Schools only close here after a huge blizzard or bad ice storm in winter. If we had to close all the schools every time the temp dipped below -30 our kids would all be 30 by the time they were ready to graduate high school.
