A bit lengthy but worth the read to decide whether we should be dead

People over 35 should be dead.

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  cots  were covered with bright coloured lead-based paint.

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 children, we would ride in cars with no seatbelts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a truck on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.

Horrors!

We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank  soft drink 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 went on!

No one was able to reach us all day.

NO CELL PHONES!!!!!

Unthinkable!

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo 64, X-Boxes, novideo games at all, no 99 channels on  sky , 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  bullrush , and sometimes,  we got 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.

Rugby and Netball  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 an exam and were held back to repeat the same class .

Horrors!

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.

Imagine that!

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!

Please pass this on to others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before lawyers and government regulated our
lives, for our own good !!!!!

People under 30 are WIMPS !

ringo,  we had a real life, and i am bloody glad to have had the chance to grow up during the best time in human history.  moved my family from melbourne to rural victoria to give them the same opportunity.    all wonderful hard working humans,  a bit left of centre compared to me, but they will grow out of that.

This is probably very true.
