I can't believe we made it. all of you should watch this video...the truth in it is so fucking awesome!
they left out we all spoke english or learned it the freaks ended kids staying out and playing until night fall. that was absolutely the BEST part of growing up for me we had a gang of us that had bike trails throughout orange groves, and jumps and scary places and hiding holes we had dug stole our fathers playboys and smoke cigarettes and talked for hours trying to be cool too bad our kids will never know what that was like
That is so great...iut brings to mind so many other things I/we did that would never fly nowadays Two that stick out for me, a little later on, is sex with a stranger and not worrying about dying from it or needing a blood test...and , when a thermometer broke, I used to love to play with the mercury in it. Quicksilver.
great post fordie i've often said... would have loved to have had a computer in college (in the 80's) but, if there had been that (ps3/xbox) technology... what incentive would i have had to actually go outside and play? why compete (physically) when you can win without getting off your ass? and what about spankings?... as a kid i got spanked a lot but i can tell you that -- without a doubt -- i deserved it every time the worst thing my mom could say was, wait til your father gets home
and another thing jerking off was so much better back then no internet, no porn sites, no (vhs/dvd) videos... had to use your imagination unless you were able to get your hands on a good skin magazine* * for you young ones, magazines were kinda like blogs but on paper
and people smoked in supermarkets, restaurants, department stores, everywhere some of my greatest memories of dodger stadium include the smell of cigars
This video forgot, treated our soldiers like pieces of shit and publicly degraded them. Weird how they would leave that.
No, that's not really true. It's talking about growing up in those decades. When I was a kid in the 70's and 80's....I wasn't treating soldiers like shit, I was idolizing them. Kids don't protest. That was those fucking hippie fucks that are all running this country right now. You missed the point of the video.
A few things that went on that was ok to do, but now I'm glad has changed. -We used to ride in the back of pickup trucks. My whole little league team used to ride in the coaches truck bed. We didn't die, but what a disaster that could've been! -People really didn't wear seat belts. It's probably better we do now. -Smoking...well although i think we are way overboard on the anti-smoking in public thing, I don't think it's cool that our parents would smoke with us in enclosed places like the our homes or in the car. I didn't care then, but looking back, probably a bad idea. -Cars don't pollute like they used to. Growing up in the San Gabriel Valley, at times the smog was really really bad. We had smog alerts and any activity like sports or swimming and our lungs would actually hurt a little. It wasn't until the late 80's when cars burned cleaner that I could see the mountains on an everyday basis. Well back then, boys played guns, cars, built things and girls played with dolls and easy bake ovens. Kind of putting in motion what defined men and women. Those waters are muddied now.
not when they were kids they didn't only if/when they grew up into anti-war hippie fucks a lot like the hug a tree pacifist cunts of today fordie's right, we kids idolized them... even used to play war games (long before video games)
You are missing the point! This is about growing up as a kid. and I still think you have you dates wrong anyway. most of those people you talk about grew up in the 40's and early 50's. The WWII soldier's children. The so called baby boomers. Also, I doubt it's as common a thing than you think. I don't know anyone who treated soldiers like shit.
