Ever see those posters that praise those from these eras? Well, someone had brought a few to my job and I thought it was a bit...well, boring. So, I fixed it up.

In my day, we had to walk in the snow 15 miles uphill BOTH WAYS...

Cuz physics wasn't workin' prop'rly back then.  :argh!:

My grandpa lost an eye to a BB gun.  It's a real pain to fix the red-eye in digital photos because you have to match the shopped eye to his glass one.

And we (meaning the 90s) kids did make up games and play with sticks, and even got a couple injuries.  Then the forest across the street was bulldozed because the land owner decided he was going to put a house there.  Then he changed his mind, and the plot is a single mass of these weed vine things.  No trees or sticks or nothing.

That poster has always irritated the crap out of me, thank you for "updating" it!

No problem. Annoyed the hell out of me, too.

I always wanted to respond with "YEAH and a bunch of you fuckers ended up unhealthy, brain-damaged, neurotic, molested, or dead, THAT'S WHY PEOPLE DON'T DO THAT SHIT ANYMORE."

Meh, there appear to be some valuable points there in my opinion... I think some people worry far too much about their safety, security and health and some of those people seem far too interested in making everyone freak out about their safety, security and health.

I went past my old school a few weeks ago, the merry go round, slide, teeter totter, and swings were all gone... they were "too dangerous".

Most kids were sitting on benches playing with handhelds.

Maybe that's better, I don't know.

I'm staggered that kids are in car seats until, like, 8 years old now!!  WTF?

In the UK, they made it as law to have one of those booster seats until you are 10 or so.

Which lets face it, is pretty embarassing for a 10 year old.

I dont mind health and safety regs, but only for things where not having the common sense of a head lice would do you well in a dangerous situation.

Even then, I sometimes wonder if we're not interfering with natural selection  :fnord:

I'm kind of in favor of laws that reduce the childhood death rate.

I'm kind of in favor of laws that increase the childhood death rate. Oh wait, that's not right...

I am in favor of reducing dangers, lead paint etc... but at the point where recess is gameboy, because slides and swings are too dangerous... I think something may have gone wrong somewhere.
