Read This If U Were Born Between 1930 -1979... - GoFuckYourself.com

spunkmaster · 03-01-2006, 11:32 PM

TO ALL 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 would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up 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 koolaid 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 were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride 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 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 put 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!

These generations 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 of them . . . CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as
kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives

for our own good .

And 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?!

this thread is awesome!!!

stickyfingerz · 03-01-2006, 11:50 PM

No doubt. I used to sleep on the rear deck of a Dodge dart while driving on trips down the highway. Hell I even used to ask to ride in the trunk to get away from my sisters. lol We slept in the beds on the top of our pickup truck camper tops. We had tire swings and ran through the woods without a adult escort and a two way walkie talky or a cell phone in our pockets. We took 12 hour bike trips and didnt give our parents a specific destination. We were lucky if we had lapbelts for the front seats back then, and even if we did they were likely buried down between the seat cushions and unreachable. We would tie ropes from the garage to a tree limb and use an old pulley to zip cord down it. Lawn darts anyone? lol Ahh the good old days prior to politically correct cry babies. hehe

Haha, the first time I broke my arm from doing just that. We used the handle bars off a bike instead of a pulley

And no, my parents didn't sue the parents of the kids house I was at... I got grounded for a week instead.

Stamen · 03-02-2006, 12:06 AM

Too bad all those people born between 1930 and 1979 decided to get a stick up their ass and make all those laws to protect their kids eh? Apparently they wanted a monopoly on being the "best risk takers, problem solvers, and inventors".

Building rafts with neighbourhood buddies outta whatever scraps you could find down at the local river and floatin' around for hours each day during summer vacation.

Or fighting in the backseat at the drive-in with your younger sibling to see who got to 'sit in the middle' to watch the movie. Remember the cartoon dancing hotdog and popcorn at intermission...or the slides and swings just below the movie screen?

Potato guns.

Meccano. Ker-Plunk. K-Tel records or 45's you always lost the little yellow centrepiece for. Remember glass marbles in the little leather pouch, and how the clear gold ones were the most coveted?

Transistor radios with telescoping chrome antennas that picked up one, maybe two static-filled stations very faintly (if you were lucky).

When was the last time you heard a kid go down the street with hockey cards clothespinned to the spokes of his bike?

Great thread, man! Things sure did change after the New Deal and ever increasing government regulation. What do you think of the argument that this is a NATURAL PROGRESSION of the US/CAN/AU/EU's economic/social development? Does it necessarily follow that with industrial evolution there should be regulatory evolution as well?

spunkmaster · 03-02-2006, 12:38 AM

Lawn darts anyone?

chaze · 03-02-2006, 12:42 AM

Wow memories. ;)

Steen2 · 03-02-2006, 12:42 AM

And you hear all sorts of stories of mischief that doesn't happen (much) these days.

Back then- someone shot someone else with a BB gun and poked their eye out

Today- Teen's are holding gang bang parties

A 1970 Gold Duster for me. I used to love to lay up there on long trips and do the "horn thing" for passing semi's.

RuthB · 03-02-2006, 03:39 PM

shame in a way that technology has so taken over our lives - but if it hadn't we wouldn't be here doing the work we're doing today!

I do reckon that kids of today will look back on their youth and teen years and have some great stories to tell too though, just different from ours

1961 and what is scary is practically all of it is true except my mom never smoked or ate from a tuna can - but everything else is bang on. What bothers me today is why the hell everyone needs a cell phone? growing up we have the patience to wait until we got home to call - I mean what the fuck is so important that we need to talk RIGHT NOW!! some toy stock is going belly up? Youth today are weak and pampered - easy to get aggravated and use guns instead of fists to solve a problem

yeah, exactly. Sure, those of us here reading this survived. But what about those that got cancer and died young, or those that just got sick or what ever the case.

It's not a question of whether my child will die from any of those things, it's a question of whether or not his risk of dying or getting sick will go up or down.

If .01% less children die today because we don't use lead based paints... then it's worth not using them... whether I survived it or not.
