[Nostalgiabuff]

so true. it's amazing we all survived, LOL

[johnnystorm]

We not only survived, we thrived!
No therapy, no coddling, we ate sugar loaded candy and soft drinks, we watched "violent " cartoons and shows like Looney Toons and the Three Stooges, and played games like kickball and tackle football until the street lights came on!
It was a better world....

The no seat belts is a good one

I don't remember anybody EVER wearing seat belts

Back then,any cut or scrape or scab we got we wore it with so much pride.

Smoking on planes, remember that one, with just a curtain to divide the sections. I once had a few to many and rolled a joint and smoked it on the plane in my seat, didnt get caught, just the stewardess couldnt figure out where the smell was coming from

[RobTMego]

LOL riding a giant turtle, while getting rammed in the nuts by a goat, only in the 70's

Yeah, we were pretty unprotected, and I wouldn't have changed a thing. It made us tough. Today's kids are so sheltered physically and emotionally, they're completely unprepared for those unpleasant things that happen in life.

I drank from my garden hose last weekend and developed an extra testicle from the DDT runoff mixed with the fluoride, mercury, and lead. Was hoping for an extra hand.

Back in the 70's almost the entire country was a garbage dump.

I remember seeing fast food wrappers EVERYWHERE alongside ALL roads.

If that wasn't bad enough sometimes you'd see an old couch, refrigerator or washing machine too

[EMCE Hammer]

And that made the indian guy on that old commercial cry.
