For the 30 and over crowd

[GoldenRivet]

Got this in my email today... If you are 30, or older, you might think this is hilarious!


--------------

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill... Barefoot.... BOTH ways…you all know the drill...

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!

But now that I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today.

You've got it so easy!

I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!
And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't know how good you've got it!

so, here goes...
when I was a kid we didn't have the Internet.

If we wanted to know something, we asked a grown up, and you know what they said? "LOOK IT UP!" so...we had to go to the damned library and sift through a card catalog and research it for an hour in an encyclopedia!!

There was no email!!

If we wanted to communicate with friends on the other side of the country, we had to actually write somebody a letter - with a pen! Then you had pay 10 cents for a stamp and put it in a mailbox. The "reply" would take about a week and a half!

Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us.

As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our asses! Nowhere was safe! And, if you got an ass whoopin' down the street, there was another ass whoopin' waiting on you when you made it home!

There were no MP3's or Napsters or iTunes! If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike or ride your bike to the record store and shoplift it your damn self!

Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio, but the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car.. We'd play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished, and then sometimes the tape would come undone rendering it useless. eventually we had portable tape decks called "walkmans" and they were about the size and weight of a brick.

We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called, they got a busy signal, that's it!

There weren't any freakin' cell phones either. If you left the house, you just didn't make a damn call or receive one either. You actually had to be out of touch with your "friends". OH MY GOD !!! Think of the horror... not being in touch with someone 24/7!!! And then there's TEXTING. Yeah, right. Please! You kids have no idea how annoying you are.

If you wanted to maintain contact with your friends you had to carry quarters around... for the pay phones!
And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your parents, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, the collection agent, the cops, a prank... you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your damned chances!

We didn't have any fancy PlayStation or Xbox video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With top of the line games like 'Space Invaders', 'pong' and 'Asteroids'.

In the game... your "guy" was a little colored square! Your enemies, were little different colored squares. You actually had to use your imagination!!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen... Forever! And you could never win.

The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died!

kida like LIFE!

Dish Network???
You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! because You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV sit next to it to change the channel!!! NO REMOTES!!!

There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying? We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons. and when they finally came on... your mom was vacuuming the floor with her giant hoover bag vacuum cleaner that sounded like a monster truck.
And we didn't have microwaves until much later on in life. If we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove! You know, the big metal box in the kitchen with fire on top! Imagine that!

And our parents told us to stay outside and play... all day long. No electronics to soothe and comfort. And if you came back inside... you were doing chores!

And car seats - oh, please! Mom threw you in the back seat and you hung on. If you were lucky, you got the "safety arm" across the chest at the last moment if she had to stop suddenly, and if your head hit the dashboard, well that was your fault for calling "shot gun" in the first place!

Why the hell do you think its called shot gun?
See! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled ass rotten! You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back the late 70s and early 80s!

Lol, I get it. well... things are easyer but still not easy.

[Wolfehunter]

This rules and is so true. Great one. :yeah:

Wait you forgot one..

There was no online porn.. So you had to steal your older brothers playboy magazine.. :arrgh!::rotfl2:

[Buddahaid]

Lol, I get it. well... things are easyer but still not easy.

I'm 54 and I think things are harder for kids now. To much crap and distraction, nanny feelgood laws, moan, moan, moan.....:doh:

[GoldenRivet]

There was no online porn.. So you had to steal your older brothers playboy magazine.. :arrgh!::rotfl2:

yeah and you always had that friend at school who had a huge stash, and he was going to show you one day.

but always came up with an excuse why he couldnt :har:

[Ducimus]

That was both awesome and true.

[Ducimus]

There was no online porn.. So you had to steal your older brothers playboy magazine.. :arrgh!::rotfl2:

Hah, i didn't have an older brother. I did have one of those cool uncles who'd buy me skin mags at the local liqure store as long as i promised not to get caught with them. He'd always get Hustler cause Playboy sucked! :up:

[Skybird]

Don't want to be young again now, I think that my age group (I'm 43) had it much easier in it's teenage years, and also more friendly future expectations. I also think that school (in Germany) was better . Of course, back then we did not realise it, but now when I'm looking back, I know it better.

For those being young now, the job world is much more complicarted, and their economic existence will be much more at risk from beginning on. School is worse today in quality, no doubt.

After WWII, our grandfarthers and fathers tried to rebuild the world. Today, the young one live in a world where our civilisation is eating up itself. And the burden of the demographic change is put on their shoulders additionally to the greater problem to found a family today. In Europe, the social states sooner or later will be so very bancrupt that they will start to eat their own populations directly, or indirectly.

In my last job, there was a constant fluctuation of schoolgirls and -boys jobbing, and during breaks I talked with them and listened what they said about their school experiences. And more of them than back in my own school times, were afraid of the future. No doubt, my generation has had it much easier when we were young.

Within the influence sphere of the EU, I would not raise children these days anymore, if this would become an issue. Family for me only when being able, economically, to move out. But that this will become a scenario, is extremely unlikely anyway. That gives me a lonely life, which makes me sad at times. But it saves me from the worries more and more families these days are facing. And that is a relief for which I am thankful.

No matter how you live, there seem to be almost always some good and some bad in it, and no matter how well you live, there is a price for it.

I therefore have invested my few free ressources - and those bigger ones that will become free in case of my death - into the future fate of the children of very close friends of mine, with whose family I am very close indeed since long time now. the mother used to laugh at me and called me a pessimist. Meanwhile, she does not anymore, and stopped laughing.

For parents of children, this must feel especially grim.

The earlier generations after WWII had it more difficult? I only laugh.

[SteamWake]

Dont damn the library thats hallowed ground ;)

Seriously Im a tad older than 30 and it all rings so true.

[Morpheus]

The earlier generations after WWII had it more difficult? I only laugh.
Yes, at least they had a direction ... we don't have that today, other than making money ... money ... money

But who knows, maby there will be something good in the future also, you cant only see everything black.

Aint it the truth :yeah:

If I ever came home whining about how some teacher gave me a swat, I would get hit again, for clearly I was guilty of something and deserved it :yeah:

[bookworm_020]

Rings true for me!

I saw the shuttle docking with the space station on the news at work today and they played the music from 2001 space odessy as it docked. the guy next to me didn't know the movie and only knew of the send up from the simpsons

[krashkart]

That is all so true - especially the ass-whooping part! "Child Services didn't care if our parents beat us...". If we screwed up we knew there would be hell to pay. :har:

[Jimbuna]

I can relate to some of the above but only because I just turned 30 :smug:

[Sailor Steve]

I turned 30 twice today. Can I take one back?

I used to tell my kids how wonderful Southern California was. I used to ride my skateboard a half-mile to school, and it was downhill both ways!
:rotfl2:

I also remember a Hagar the Horrible cartoon, where Hagar is telling his son Hamlet how when he was that age the snow was over his head. "You believe me, don't you, son?" "Yes, sir!" replies Hamlet from behind. We can't see him because the snow is over his head!

yeah and you always had that friend at school who had a huge stash, and he was going to show you one day.

but always came up with an excuse why he couldnt :har:
Then you had to be happy with National Geographic!:dead:

[GoldenRivet]

Then you had to be happy with National Geographic!:dead:

:har:

not the kind i wanted to see though!!!

[Onkel Neal]

30? 30!!?? Damn kids. The 70s and 80s were not hard at all.

[STEED]

Back then...

No all day TV.

No PC's and Internet.

Better law & order back then.

No liberals and there Political Correctness.

Kids went out and had a good time...football (US Soccer) in the streets.


Now look at kids...always on there mobile phones and twittering on twitter & face book, hours and hours on the net. Using strong language which in my day get you grounded for six months, the list goes on. :nope:

[Oberon]

30?! I'm 26 and can remember all those things. There were mobile phones but only yuppies had them and walked around the city with them glued to their ear yelling at their investors or booking a lunch at a restaurant for their 'darling'.
Top loading VCRs, remember those? And the nightmare of the damn thing eating the tape and having to fish it all out of the runners inside it :damn:
I remember when CD players were stupidly priced (some still are) and only those who were flush could have them, the old crackle and hiss of an LP vinyl brings back memories of the Pet Shop Boys, Tina Turner and Ultavox.
Happy Shopper, who in the UK remembers that? And Beejams.
Saturday morning cartoons, Timmy Mallet and Whackaday!

If I feel this old now, how the heck am I going to feel in another 24 years!! :dead:

[AVGWarhawk]

Each generation has it's trials and tribulations.... I did find the 80's easy living...I would do it all over again in a heart beat.

[GoldenRivet]

Funny thing is that it seems so recent.

it seems so recent that i would vanish for an entire day into the woods, or on our bikes on the streets of the neighborhood and just hop from house to house.

going over to the vacant lot to play baseball or football...

dont see much of that any more.

i remember so clearly the call of my mothers voice over the silence of the neighborhood... or another mom calling her kid home by stepping outside and calling out his name.

now days, when mom wants the kid to come home... all you would hear in the middle of sand lot baseball is this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IjgkGS8YF4

if we heard that in my day... everyone would have dropped everything mid ball game and run looking for an ice cream truck.

no more though.

ahhhhhh the good old days:rock:

[AVGWarhawk]

Yep, gone all day on our bikes or at the pool. At five it was time to go home for dinner. I would eat fast and head out again as they daylight was good until 8-ish. To me, TV was just that boz that news and some cartoons played on....I had a black and white TV. Cable never reached my neighborhood...not until I left for college. If you had cable you were liv'in! We would swipe a beer or two from our neighbors garage and generally attempt to stay out of trouble...which we accomplished. It was good time...like I said, I would do it all over again.

To me, today's kids have it a bit tougher concerning peer pressure. So and so has a cell phone and I don't. So and so go to see the PG13 movie and I didn't. There is peer pressure coming from all sides....text, phone, facebook, myspace and on it goes.

Like I said, each decade has it's trials and tribulations. One just hopes all survive to talk about it.

[Oberon]

Upstairs in my bedroom I have a television (a little rare pleasure I enjoyed in my youth due to my father being in quite a well paid job with LT) which was second hand in 1986 so must have been made in the late 1970s or early 1980s and the thing still works!! For a spot of nostalgia I watched the recent celebrations of the coming down of the Berlin wall on the same television that I watched the wall come down on back in 1989, wonder how many can say that? :yeah:
The sad thing is, with the switch over to digital coming within the next two years, my television will become out of date and unable to receive television channels. Still usable for DVDs, Playstation and VCR though. :yep:

And STEED, nice one, look forward to tomorrows episode :rock:

[GoldenRivet]

my brother in law is 13... (dont worry... he was 5 when i married his then 20 year old sister)

he has text messaging, instant access to information via google etc... everything is immediate for him.

want to know what movie is on?

there is an "app" for that LOL

not only can he tell me what is playing and what its rated, but he can get instant reviews, show times, and turn by turn navigation to any theater within 50 miles.

I CAN"T WAIT

to see what his generation bitches about when they hit 30+

"In my day... friends couldnt read your thoughts! you had to send something called a text message!"

And 2 hour the round the world suborbital flights?! forget it... we had to board something called an airliner and spend the next 13 hours flying!

and forget sight seeing tours on the moon... if you wanted to see the moon in my day you had to look up! that was as close as you could get!

and STDs like gonorrhea and herpes and aids... you risked a deadly disease every time you screwed a hot chick. - we didnt have all that gene therapy and overnight cures for that sort of stuff!

[Sailor Steve]

I can remember when the TV show Disneyland became Walt Disney's Wonderful World Of Color. I used to watch Fess Parker as Davy Crockett. Had my own coonskin cap too.

My dad bought one of the first color TVs on our block, and had to adjust the color all the time. He told me that the best time to do it was during a commercial or a football (American) game, because they were the ones who spent the most money to make sure their broadcast was perfect.

I was also lucky enough to see a Pan-American 707 land in Los Angeles after the first US transcontinental jetliner flight, in 1958.

[GoldenRivet]

Someone born in 2010 turns 30…

Here is what they would bitch about to the “kids these days”!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with tedious blogs and facebook posts about how hard things were when they were growing up
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!

But now that I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today.

You've got it so easy!

I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!
And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't know how good you've got it!
so, here goes...
when I was a kid we didn't have holographic projections of educators to instantly tell us anything we wanted to know.

If we wanted to know something, we had to spend 30 seconds tediously typing it into a keyboard on something called “google”.

There was no Thought mail!!

If we wanted to communicate with friends on the other side of the country, we had to actually write somebody an e mail, and it could take upwards of 5 minutes to get a reply from them! We didn’t have these mind implants that allow you to instantly and silently communicate with friends anywhere on Earth.

Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents counted to three.

As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to count to three! Nowhere was safe! Of course parents never actually got to three… it was always 2, 2 ½… 2 ¾ and so on! Imagine listening to that! If we got disciplined we got taken away from our family and put into an orphanage… now the government supplies you brats with a home and a $250,000 a year stimulus check! Back in my day that was like working all week long just to make $30,000 a year!!!

There were subdural music implants. If we wanted to listen to music we had to use ear buds, if you had long hair you could hide them and listen in class without the teacher knowing. Now… you guys just sit there and nobody can tell whether or not your rockin!

We had massive iPods that weighed several ounces… and they would only hold about 5,000 songs, unlike you guys... with yottabytes of songs on your little music players no bigger than my thumb.

We didn't have any fancy holo-room video games with high-resolution 3-D environments that surrounded us! We had the XBOX 360 or the PC! With games that required you to be constantly connected to the internet in order to play them!
And inertial dampers - oh, please! Mom threw you in the back seat and you buckled into a car seat. If you were lucky, you just got slightly jolted in a car accident… you damned kids could drive 40 miles per hour into a cement truck and never feel a thing.

see! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled ass rotten! You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back the mid 2000s!

Even though I'm 25 going 26 this year, I can relate to some of the things.

Getting a spanking if I did something bad or getting my mouth washed with soap when I said a bad word. ( Blaerge!! )

Being outdoors most of the day, having fun. Riding the bicycle, "jumping" with the bicycle. Not serious jumping, just enough to get the tires of the ground for a split second. Learned a lesson to actually use a helmet, luckily it was just a few scratches.

Mother telling about when she was young having to ski several kilometres to school during winter times with -40C temperatures.


The tape eating VCR, yep we had one of those.

No cellphones when I grew up. I only got my first only a few years ago.


Has anyone else experienced that weird chain link fence illusion when you're looking through the fence? When it for a moment looks like the fence is really close to your face. :O:

[Platapus]

...or getting my mouth washed with soap when I said a bad word. ( Blaerge!! )


"Over the years I got to be quite a connoisseur of soap. My personal preference was for Lux, but I found Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heady, but with just a touch of mellow smoothness. Life Buoy, on the other hand... "

:D

[Sailor Steve]

The tape eating VCR, yep we had one of those.
We didn't. I remember a friend telling me that at TV stations they actually had big tape recorders that could record the shows.

I remember seeing an ad in a magazine in 1970 for a watch with a black face. If you pressed a button little red lights would come on and tell you the time. $1500.00.

On the other hand I have a photograph of my newborn daughter being held by a 100-year-old lady of our aquaintance. We once talked about the fact that when she got married the streets were still lit by gas and they travelled in a horse-and-buggy.

[Torvald Von Mansee]

In a way, I wish I wasn't always in contact all the time.

[Wolfehunter]

What I miss many many years ago was the freedom I had, But I've at least experience something wonderful.

Freedom to driver without seat belts on those quiet dark roads speeding no cops or traffic. Times when most drivers knew how to drive and the roads where empty... No such thing as traffic lol... I miss being able to change my own tire if blown on the highway.. Today I'm forbidden to leave my vehicle if there is an indecent.. :dead: I have to pay for a tow even though I have a spare in the trunk. :o

Freedom to ride my Can Am Motorcross without helmets and pads through the trails with my budies. No license needed. Just raw fun. "Smacking into trees was optional!":88)

Freedom to ride my Mach 1 skidoo at night through the trailers without licenses or speed limits or a functioning headlight....:arrgh!: "Smacking into trees was optional!":88)

Freedom to go fishing with my old man and cross a sealed dam with a simple fence not like today with bob-wire and cameras its like fortknox. Because we knew the better fish was on the other side of the river... Damn to those idiots who jumped off the dams.. :damn: Today those wonderful places have all been clear cut.. There all destroyed. Fish are long gone and the land is ruined. Oh ya you need a license now to fish.. :nope:

Freedom to hunt without a license. Today I need a license to own a gun, take a gun outside my house, to take a gun off my property and to have a license to shoot areas registered and the game select with limits. :yawn: Man I'll need a briefcase soon with all these papers.. :doh: When I was young I walked down the street up with my rifle strapped and I never was afraid of cops stopping me.. Today it wouldn't be wise to strap a rifle and walk down a street...:dead:

Freedom to go camping with buddies and enjoy the moments of Beans, Bacon and Beer which cause our Butts to Burst and the air Bewitched with a misty nauseating smell of someones Behind.. :D Today many of the old campsites are long gone replaced for city slickers who make parks or golf courses or Wealthy residential zoning or new civilized camping grounds. Where they have curfews and police and restriction and lets not forget the worst.. Politically Correctness oh god save me now.. You have to buy your timber you can't cut a dead tree for crying out loud...:shifty:

I miss my old freedoms. I miss being able to share this with my child and nephew.. They won't be able to experience the same things I did when I was a kid. They won't.. to much laws. to much nonsense rules telling you where to crap, where to sit, where to go and how you can get there, So-on..

I really don't want to go back and redo it all, I already know how it feels. I want is my daughter and nephew to feel what I did 30+ years ago today and tomorrow and for the next 30 years..

I want them to have the freedom of choice without today's outrageous restrictions. For good or bad.. :up: That is living a life. ;)

[Skybird]

Some years ago, I travelled in a train to visit friends in Southern Germany. A kind and very old lady with very young eyes sat beside me, and we started a conversation. she asked and I said where I have lived, and where I have travelled and thatI spend my teenage years i Berlin. she said "Oh really?" and said she also lived in Berlin for long time and in her youth. Where I lived, she wanted to know, and I said such and such a place, and she remembered and said they lived in the same district, and she remembered the streetnames and she knew that certain tree (a major oak at a crossroad). I mentioned that my schooltime was quite happy, and she asked where I wqent to school, and I said "Rheingau-Gymnasium", and she suddenly got wet eyes and said that she remembers that place so well, back then it was one fine adress for the higher class and they had balls in that building and she went to her first ball ever when she was a young girl, and she described her beautiful dress, and that that place was such a famous place back then. I then had to describe her the looks of that building "now" ( a beautiful old-fashioned schoolhouse which served as a scenery for several TV films meanwhile), and she told me how it looked back then, and we compared what was different, and we both told stories of walking these gangways and sitting in that room.

And suddenly, for some minutes, we were of the same age, despite the huge number of years between us! Strange, I never have forgotten that old lady.

Strange coincidences life sometimes create. I have this story from two boys from a parallel class, who both after school got a world trip as a gift by their parents. The one started in Wetsern direction, via England and then to the USA, from Eastcoast to Westcoast. The other travelled to Moscow, then japan and the US westcoast. By random chance they met again some months later - on the airport in L.A. when hurrying for their planes that again would carry them into opposite directions.

Where do you live where you can't change your tire? What would happen to you if you did try to change a flat?

[Wolfehunter]

Where do you live where you can't change your tire? What would happen to you if you did try to change a flat?If the cops see me on the highway they can give me a ticket and then tow my car which I would still have to pay... But I've already changed my blown tire once few years ago.. lol I didn't even know then that rule was in play.. It was -30 Celsius and took me only 15mins which was fast and bloody cold.. I could barely feel my fingers when I was finished. The tow-trucks are all over the place. Just waiting.. Its a big business here. Just like the taxi cab scandals and territory rules. Its crazy.. Each truck has there camp site where they sit by the road waiting for accidents or anything related. Cops call them in and tow cavalry moves in to save the day.. with a hefty fee of course.


Anyhow sorry for going OT...

Who could ever forget :DL
