I agree with you, Dave, more or less. As guilty as it makes me feel, I DO miss the days when we could be greedy and atavistically selfish and not feel the repercussions.

Society's gotta grow up, I guess. And since we don't know how to be socially conscious without being total morons yet, I'd say society's still in puberty.

Sounds more like Ayn Rand.

Wow... seeing kids saying "kids these days" makes me feel old. I very strongly agree with Chaos though.

I've broken bones, gotten scraps, bruises, broken toys, and came very, very, VERY close to setting my neighborhood on fire. Man, I had an AWESOME childhood but it was far from what you'd call safe.

I feel sorry for the kids who are so carefully coddled that they can't even deal with the real world. Calling 911 because the local GreasyD doesn't have chicken nuggets? Bah, it's to much.

but still kids should be outside more than in

We've done it to ourselves, and to our kids. We've let the media and the fear and hysteria make us so scared and controlling with our kids, so scared to let them out of our yards, out of our homes, out of our sight. We forget that the point of childhood is to produce independent adults, and instead focus on keeping children as safe and innocent as possible -- never mind that the world is NEITHER.

Never mind that you can't keep your kids safe nor innocent, no matter what you do. Whoever remembers their childhood as being idyllic isn't remembering the truth. You shelter your kids, you're preventing them from learning how to handle the world.

I agree with nummies i was born in 92 but still sports being outside and racing bikes was what it was all about not video games or computers (of course i love computers and video games now and yell at my mom but thats normal) but still kids should be outside more than in

I want to agree witht his post but i was born in '91 so most of those "Good old days" were spent either pooping myself through plastic sword fights...

Although if i compared my childhood to the kids nowadays i'd have to say it was pretty sweet. We used to play outside and your bike was the ultimate form of transportation, you could go anywhere on that damn bike!!

Kid's nowadays yell at thier parents and stay inside and ironically just sit on the computer and do nothing. Now im all for the lazy, but damn, we have overweight children! My gf's little sister is my weight! I just want to lock her ass out of the house one good time... with a bike.

Eesh, back when i was kid, if i called anyone a "faggot" assuming i knew what it meant i got an ass whoopin! today faggot to kid's like saying "Hey whats up!"

Yeah, them good old days were definitely nice. The problem is that living like that, practically by definition, can't last longer than a few years before all the things you don't care about come back and bite you in the ass. 8-)
