People over 30 should be dead
Lighten up jacka**! It was a rhetorical question. I have a life,too. I also have friends who send me emails and I read them. Maybe you don't have any friends with an attitude like that. Takes a lot less time to read a few emails than it does to read all the posts on a forum.

People over 30 should be dead.
Here's why ............
According to today's regulators
and bureaucrats, those of us
who were kids in the 40's,
50's, 60's, or even maybe
the early 70's probably
shouldn't have survived.
Our baby cribs were covered
with bright colored lead-based
paint.
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 seatbelts
or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pickup
truck on a warm day was
always a special treat.
We drank water from the
garden hose and not from
a bottle.
Horrors!
We ate cupcakes, bread and
butter, and drank soda pop
with sugar in it, but we were
never overweight because
we were always outside
playing.
We shared one soft drink
with four friends, from one
bottle, and no one actually
died from this.
We would spend hours building
our go-carts out of scraps
and then rode 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 would leave home in the
morning and play all day,
as long as we were back when the! street lights
came on.
No one was able to
reach us all day.
NO CELL PHONES!!!!!
Unthinkable!
We did not have Playstations,
Nintendo 64, X-Boxes, no
video games at all, no 99
channels on cable, video tape movies, surround
sound, personal cell phones,
personal computers, or Internet
chat rooms.
We had friends!
We went outside and found
them.
We played dodge ball, and
sometimes, the ball would
really hurt.
We fell out of trees, got
cut and broke bones and teeth, and there were no
lawsuits from these accidents.
They were accidents.
No one was to blame but us.
Remember accidents?
We had fights and punched
each other and got black
and blue and learned to get
over it.
We made up games with sticks and tennis ***** and
ate worms, and although we
were told it would happen,
we did not put out very many
eyes, nor did the worms live inside us forever.
We rode bikes or walked to
a friend's home and knocked
on the door, or rang the
bell or just walked in and
talked to them.
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team.
Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.
Some students weren't as smart as others, so
they
failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same grade.
Horrors!
Tests were not adjusted for any reason.
Our actions were our own.
Consequences were expected.
The idea of a parent bailing
us out if we broke a law was unheard of.
They actually sided
with the law.
Imagine that!
This generation has produced
some of the best risk-takers
and 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're one of them!
Congratulations!
