France and Texas just MISSED mass extinction when we were kids, no ?

ROFL! I think your right!

The earlier FReeper remarks about the 'wussification' of our children is correct as well.

Playing as a child meant I was constantly bumped, bruised and bleeding.

We always just "Sucked it up" and went on.

Now children are taught by the schools not only to fear pain, but to fear the objects that can cause pain as well.

( Checked out your home page...and now I have Coke on my keyboard :)

Ah, those were the days... We didn't even THINK of pain (not until it happened, that is), and yet we weren't acting irresponsibly or dangerously. And what weighed a small risk in front of that great feeling of freedom and adventure, when it was you, your buddies and the woods or the banks of a little river ?

So, sorry for the spilled Coke, I hadn't realized the full comic potential of my home page ! Now I'll just have to attend some comic-management classes so as to take Coke-spilling seriously, as the potentially dangerous activity it is. Damn ! Or, I could just go jingoistic and suggest you drink Perrier or Evian. LOL
