Old enough to remember taking my swats (which I richly deserved) in both elementary and high school without crying about being mistreated.
I would no more have considered attacking one of my teachers than I would have considered swimming to the moon.
It was called “RESPECT FOR YOUR ELDERS”.
Had I taken a shot at one of my teachers I would have expected to get my ass beat; then get thrown out of school forever and sent to what we used to call Juvenile Hall.
Prison for young men and women who were unable get along in a civil society.
Young people today want to vote at the age of 18 but want to be protected by society and the courts as if they are children until they are 21?
That doesn’t work with me.
At the age of 18 I was under arms in the Marine Corps serving my first tour, kids today at 18 are still living in mommy and daddy’s house, collecting all the benefits and contributing nothing in return, then bitching when mommy and daddy wont buy them a new car.
So in answer to your question; yeah, I’m old, old enough to remember the REAL WORLD.
