People Over 35 Should be Dead!

For all my surviving friends out there.
It's funny how the worm turns.

Here's why............

According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 40's, 50's, 60's, or even maybe the early 70's probably shouldn't have survived.

Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paint.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets.

Let's not mention the extreme risks we took hitchhiking.
As children, we would ride in cars without seatbelts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose, not from a bottle.

We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank soda with sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the street lights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day. NO CELL PHONES!!!!!

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo 64, X-Boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, video tape movies, surround sound, personal cell phones, personal computers, or Internet chat rooms.

We had friends!

We went outside and found them.

We played dodge ball, and sometimes, the ball would really hurt.

We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones and teeth, and there were no lawsuits from these accidents. They were accidents. No one was to blame but us. Remember accidents?
We had fights and punched each other and got black and blue and learned to get over it.

We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms, and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes, nor did the worms live inside us forever.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's home and knocked on the door, or rang the bell or just walked in and talked to them. No emailing or instant messages!
We were fit and trim because we exercised outside all the time!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.

Some students weren't as smart as others, so they failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same grade.

Tests were not adjusted for any reason.
Our actions were our own. Consequences were expected.

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of.
They actually sided with the law.

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and 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.
And you're one of them! Congratulations!

People under 30 are WIMPS!

So very true. If my kid was gone from daylight to dark even one day without calling home, I'd have an APB out on him. But we did it every day when I was a kid and no one thought anything odd about it.

now why in the hell should people over 35 be dead from any of those things, that is rediculous

SykkBoy · 01-02-2005, 02:44 PM

but maybe I lived to be 35 because of the things put into place...what about those who didn't make it?

The amount of risk-assessment and paranoia in society is slowly making things stupid. Its joining the PC brigade in bringing an end to sane society.

Save time, do whatever you want to, stop caring and live life.. (my
