well doesn't that just eradicate that safety feature. Nope. Soz car manufacturers, redesign everything, apparently some people didn't die and this is the case for everyone now xo



-isn't sure how this is relevant, since...we're still managing not to...-



fair point.



I resent the implicaton I've bolded. Is your view of youth today so distorted as to assume children tune in, turn on, drop out 24/7? The majority of friendships are formed at school and always will be...

As for the treehouses/river beds stories, oh please, save it for an Enid Blyton novel.



Lawsuits point I accept. The suing culture is horrible. But air guns...



I imagine this is a dig at the much-exaggerated "we can't have a sack race because the kids feel bad about losing" spiel. The reason these stories find media attention is because they're so alien - and rare. I've never had experiences like that - I took part in sports day, I lost some, I won some, I grew up fine.



...what? -has never heard of these names-



I like the way you've accidentally worded that to prove my point. "regulated our lives for good" - you can say what you like about this so-called Nanny State, but it's exaggerated. A lot of this post is just smug self-worth and delusion - what on Earth is the problem with the invention of airbags and not using airguns? Are you trying to appear 'hard'? Because it just makes you look like a whinging old nostalgic reminiscing about the 'good old days'.

You're not brave. You're typical of your time and you don't like change. [this isn't necessarily aimed at you personally, but the author of the post per se]
You REALLY wrote all this pish in response to the witty opening post ?!?!

OH SILLY SPROGLET
