Was hatte ich doch für eine tolle Jugendzeit!!!

Leider nur auf englisch gefunden. Aber es trift so manchen Nagel auf den Kopf...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE
1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
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 seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride 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 did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
Lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.


We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays,
Made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.



We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, 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 YOU are one of them!
CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.
And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!

PS -The big type is because your eyes are shot at your age

Willst du mit diesem Beitrag der Flusi-Gemeinde beweisen, daß du der englichen Sprache mächtig bist?

[Karl]

Wenn du den tieferen Sinn nicht verstehst dann übergehe halt den Beitrag.

Ich verstehe auch nicht alles genau was da geschrieben steht. Was ich aber halt mit meinem alten Schulenglisch noch mitbekomme, hat mich an schöne vergangene Zeiten erinnert.

Naja kummt eher rüber wie wenn Oma und Opa erzählen "Früher war doch alles besser"

jede zeit hat vor und nachteile

wirklich schlechter gehts uns glaub ich ned

[oitt]

noch ned

ABER: Keine Angst, ich bin fleissig daran die Weltherrschaft an mich zu reissen!
Big Brother rules und braucht eh einen charismatischen Weltherrscher wie mich...
Ähm wo bleibt schon wieder mein Spiegel!! *schnipp*

[Qsecofr]

da lernt man es doch zu schätzen altmodisch erzogen worden zu sein
aber auch damals gab es viele probleme, und auch jetzt gehen großartige menschen (z.B ich) aus der Menschheit hervor.

Aber hierzu passt irgendwie die Toten Hosen mit Wort zum Sonntag

Früher, hör auf mit früher,
ich will es nicht mehr hörn.
Denn damals war es auch nicht anders,
mich kann das alles nicht störn.

Ich bin noch keine 60
und ich bin auch nicht nah dran.
Und erst dann werde ich erzählen,
was früher einmal war.

So sehe ich das nicht unbedingt. Verstehe das eher so, wie gut es uns als Kinder früher gegangen ist, und wie arm dran die jetzigen Kinder sind.

Wenn ich mir da meine Enkerl anschau, wie die schon im Kindergarten die Leistungsgesellschaft zu spüren bekommen. Ab der ersten Volksschule schon die Angst das gscheit mitkommen. Sonst krigens mal keine Arbeit.
