Upside Down

These are really sad times we live in... What you posted is so true, i relate to that growing up . What the Hell is going on with this society?
 
So so sad but so so true. Political Corectness has killed this country and there is no end in sight! I was born in '71 and my teenage years were through the '80's and even that seemed to be a much simpler (and more sane) time.
 
I still remember you could get paddled in grade school without the parent's consent, and that was in 1987. What's that saying....if you were born after 1980, you don't know how good you got it?
 
my 18 yo daughter tried to pull that , i'll call the cops b.s when i was disciplining her a few years back. i told her go head, what do you think i'm going to do to you when i get out of jail. she never said it again
 
I remember when I was 3rd grade and I got into a fight in the classroom with Tony. We both went to the office and got a paddling and I got another one when I got home !!!!!

Too many laws, too much Government !!!!
 
I got in a fight in seventh grade with a friend when he pushed me. The teacher broke it up before it was over. We both got suspended for a day. The teachers knew we were friends and made us apologize, yada yada, then they had to do according to school rule. It was a great day off. I went to my grandmas house and went swimming with my cousins and rode bikes and popped wheelies on my grandpas lawn tractor all day;)
 
So sad but true. I got into a playground fight in 8th grade. The teacher broke it up, took us to the gym, made us put on boxing gloves and fiinish the fight. The other kid and I shook hands after it was over and became friends.
 
I wonder if in 1909 some old fart wrote a letter to all of his friends about how horribly times had changed for the worse...... :wink:
