We played with toy guns and didn't become serial killers.

We collected mercury from broken thermometers to play with and didn't poison ourselves.

We swam unsupervised in ponds and streams without a lifeguard.

A cut requiring stitches was a badge of honor, not a cause of litigation.

....and we didn't worry about perverted homosexuals who today prey upon youngsters and want to be their scoutmasters. There was virtually no pornography and entertainment on the radio and television was wholesome family fare.
