He answered that kids today are bigger, and would have beaten the crap out of the kids of my day. Yes, they're bigger, I told him -- fatter, softer, and not nearly as mentally tough as we Kentucky farm kids in the 70s, but definitely bigger. He didn't know how to respond, so he changed the subject.
I believe kids are being intentionally wussed out, on purpose, and have been for a couple of decades now. Whether it's being specifically done to weaken us militarily is cause for speculation, but there's no doubt that's what we're headed for.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
“He answered that kids today are bigger, and would have beaten the crap out of the kids of my day.”
MAN I woulda’ laughed in that dudes face! I think his comment is also an implicit admission of cowardice; size has nothing at all to do with an impulse to fight or being good at it.
I lived 40 miles east of nyc in a ‘quiet suburb’ and the badasses of the day did nothing but find some ass to kick when they were bored. We dreaded our mothers asking us to go to the store for a loaf of bread. Getting there took us through streets teeming with NASTY human hazards. Fighting was almost a way of life back then. Though by the time I graduated high school in ‘76 it had quieted down considerably. The class of ‘74 were the last of the punks with an evil glint in their eye.
As far back as the eighties I recall reflecting that kids had it made as far as “getting jumped” went (everyone involved was white by the way).
I suspect a kid today going back to my day would never leave the house...oh...wait...
BS.
Redo. I agree with you. To be clear, this is the BS.
