it really went bad after 98... I was caught at school with knives and what not, never had an issue... seemed like 99 when two dipshits with keys to their daddy's guns went shooting crazy is when it went down hill
IDK...it seems to me the decline started before 99, but that is a good point, it sure seems like the drop-off got accelerated.
and every year kids suck a little more lol.... i still talk to some of my high school teachers that i have known forever.... they maintain that after my class graduated....the high school has gone down hill so fast its crazy.... and they cant do anything about it cause they have to tell the kids they are great and pass everyone so the school looks like they are doing a good job when they really arent by no fault of their own lol i almost pissed myself when i read this LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
Dang...you are old...I was still in diapers in 57....:baby: i dont really find all this that funny...it is really sad how politically correct and scared we have become.....I can remember the first one you mentioned Ron....early 70s we thought nothing of a truck in the high school parking lot with a shotgun hanging in the window...had a double barrel 410 hanging in mine back in 75...and you didnt worry much about thieves stealing the gun...long as the truck was locked......
Yup, the good ol days are obviously gone. Mostly because some pussy politician who's son or daughter did something wrong, so they made it a law. IMO anyway.
I don't beleive in the "Go to your room", "you're on timeout" bullshit. I was spanked, and paddled in school. Nowadays theres a friggin sociological problem for anything you do.
no doubt, my dad would straight whoop my ass all the time and i turned out PERFECT.....lmao. in all honesty, really if parents took the time to beat their childs ass at first site of future idiocy, the world would be a better place than it is now.
hell if I was raised today and went through what I did when I was growing up.. my parents would be in jail for kicking my ass (which looking back I did deserve, and I still did not get whooped for half the crap I pulled) .. I more than likely would be on my 5th or 6th psychologist, blame society for all of my problems, and need the government to pay all my bills and probably be a complete dysfunctional person.. who would want 14 kids to raise with no means of support except for volunteers, donations and rely upon my parents.. Oh right that bitch does live in Cali.. But other than that I am no more screwed up than anyone else who was born in the early 50's
I have something i can post up that kinda reflects this that some smart dood said....ill get it out lol
