had to share this one..hehe, it's so true
People over 34 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 baby cribs were covered with bright colored 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 pickup 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 soda pop 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 came on. No one was able to reach us all day.
NO CELL PHONES!
Unthinkable!
We did not have PlayStations, Nintendo 64, X-Boxes, no video games at all,
no 99 channels on cable, 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 dodge ball, and sometimes, the ball would 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.
Little League 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 a grade and were
held back to repeat the same grade. 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 you1re 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!

The term, believe it or not, originated years ago. It implies you are a fat b*****d as well.
Eduin would be referred to as being one.
Do you see my point?
While I'm stocky, you must be morbidly obese to sport such a title.

Speaking of Jerry Springer, the fat people always take their clothes off, regardless of ****.
It's quite disturbing.

Remind me again where that was rubbed in on this post, where I brought it up first, not where I'm replying to your point.
I pointed out that you, personally, are a man(if you are in fact technically a man) without balls. Don't see how I rubbed shit in your face about how I love America. As a matter of fact, I am likely someone who's got a broader, global vision of things, having been around and living in Europe at one point in my life.
Don't get me wrong. I love my country. That is for sure. I won't say I've never rubbed that kinda shit in anyone's face, but it's usually to reply to something someone else brought up.

You lived in europe and that gives you a broader global vision?
haha..
Just beause you went to vaction in Amsterdam doesn't make you more global conscious you f*****g stoner.

I still don't understand the concept of letting someone pass, if they fail more then 1 subject. In Belgium, you fail one, and get less then a 6 on 3 other subjects ... you redo your year, no doubt about it. They even got ridd of summerclasses.
How does it work in the states? You choose a package yourself, and drop some you fail, or take them again in a year higher?

You suck at a great many things, boy.
You didn't answer my question, you didn't show me where I rubbed it in.
By my posting something that relates to the US, that automatically makes me guilty of rubbing some fecal matter in your face, so be it. Shithead, you can't f*****g flame very well, so give it up.
Next, I lived in Germany 3 years. No, I didn't go to Amsterdam, but good job making yourself into the fine ass you are and with the constant reminders, nobody will doubt this fact.
Another fact: I know I'm doing well for myself, stoner or not. How are you doing? Do you still live at home with mommy and daddy? Or do you have the skills to survive on your own in the real world? Do you own all of your vehicles and your home? Do you actually support a family? Little is known of this "Fagigan" name you post under(no disrespect Nah and Abi), so I go by what you post here, or lack thereof.
I own my own house, as in own. Own my vehicles, have a family, and some nice phat lewts. I'd wager my virtual penix is bigger than yours.
So give it up boy, put me in my place, and do it with verbal skillz if you have game...I'm still waiting.

I grew up without cable
Riding in cars from the 80's with no airbags
got it lots of fights
my crib was prolly a hand me down i'm not sure
I have no cell phone nor do I ever use one
I did not have a Playstation till 4 years after they came out.
I still ride in the back of a pick up truck sometimes.
Maybe that list applies to people from the west coast and upper east coast but it don't apply to were I live.
