I want to be a kid again.

Oh yeah, well one time I was driving, and this squirrel ran out into the street and I hit him. And he didn't die right then, but he was limping and stuff, I'm pretty sure he died right after.

DMike, what do you think about helmets and knee pads that kids wear while riding bikes?

Gonna' have to agree with DTC and y1300inhtown on this. Yeah I got hauled into the ER once or twice for pulling some Evil Knievel like stunts on my pedal bike but, so what? That's part of the game, so to speak.
Get some stitches, go home and pick up right where you left off, that's all.

kernel said Soccer. Good point.
How you can have boys and girls both playing together up to like freakin' High School is beyond me.
Shit, by age 8 we were already beating the crap out of each other playing Midget Football.

IB, not sure where you're going with this.
Are you going down the "single child" route?
This is one of those rare times when i'm interested in seeing what your point is.
Follow up.

Kids in public schools today don't have lockers. Spare us the "I walked 20 miles to school uphill both ways with a bowl of cold gravel in my belly" sob story. Whose fault is it if you had a locker but were too dumb to remember the combination?

This isn't true everywhere, mvscal. My girlfriend teaches eighth grade in HISD and her school has lockers. Maybe socal should be added to the list.

The dust of the barely kept ballfields at St. Francis and the sweat of St. Louis summers were my cologne for years and years. Baseball, baseball, baseball. In the winter, I stayed home and played basketball, street football, street hockey or soccer (big, big sport in St. Louis). Once a month, there'd be a fight over some play that was/wasn't a foul. Girls were something that called you home for lunch.

If the kids of today are pussies, it ain't their fault. Look at the parents that are sitting them in front of the TV, the adults using the TV to peddle cheap, useless crap to children and the parents who continue the cycle by buying them said useless crap.

Buy your kid a baseball glove and tell them to go find an aerodynamic dirt clod on the ground outside.

Good topic. The wife and I were sitiing out under our shade tree the other day watching the little neighbor puss (Helmet wearing, Knee-padded sissy) and his church buddies arguing over baseball rules. Now, I know what you're saying. That's a good thing right? At least he's out there playing. WRONG. The kid is twelve freakin' years old. Same with his buddies, and they didn't know a foul ball counted as a strike. This little bastard hits six foul balls, then swings & misses and HE STEPS BACK TO THE FRICKIN PLATE. Before you go to the video game, computer card remeber, at least you learn a few rules along the way. It's not the things we buy, or don't buy our children. It's how we spend our time with them. If that kid had been plopped on the couch next to dad on a couple of saturday afternoons watching the ball game, or god forbid at the Ballpark watching one live he wouldn't have looked like such a frickin tool. My daughter knew the rules and went over and explained them to these punks. How cool do you think they felt when a 12 year old girl came over and showed them up. If your kid acts like a puss, shove the lawn mower in his hands and get the little goober to start acting like a man.

Again, I have to agree with the comment about lockers...everywhere I know still has em. I graduated HS in 2000...they still have them. mvscal, where do your kids go to school, Southside Chicago?

I agree with just about everything said about the pussification of today's youth. My little cousins (10 and 7) are a perfect example. Little dude can't even make a fuckin layup without trying 15 times right underneath the fuckin hoop yet can KICK MY ASS in NBA Live 2002!

What you all fail to realize though is it's YOUR GENERATION that is enforcing all this pussy shit. Good job. I don't think any of these kids would go outside armed to the teeth with padding like an American Gladiator competitor just to ride a freaking bike on 2 sets of training wheels (at age 13) if it weren't for the stupid-ass paranoid parent demanding it or they take away their Super Computer priveleges.

I can sum it ALL up with ONE item...

The little net they put around trampolines these days...

The fucking thing costs more than the trampoline itself...!

What happened to having a few of your buds stand around the damn thing and spot you while you jump and do flips and hang your ASSSSSS out in midair...???

Pitiful...
