SpaceCommand (OP) User ID: 36896180 United States 05/09/2013 05:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things." William Wordsworth And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God. John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address Lincoln's economic advisor Henry C. Carey explained the universal issue in his 1851 Harmony of Interests: "Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world." "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein |

Old Coot User ID: 1699826 United States 05/09/2013 07:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In the 1950s my kids had cowboy guns that fired a roll of caps. The kids all have coonskin caps from watching Disney's Davy Crockett. I lived in Southern California then and every Saturday morning the TV was full of old westerns from the 1930s and 1940s. And then came Hoola Hoops and Barbie dolls. Life was so much simpler then. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 28458460 United States 05/09/2013 07:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As an American...we've been at war my whole life. Children today, know nothing but war. Their fathers, brothers, and even their moms are paid by the Government to go to WAR, but kids can't mimic war. My brothers had cap guns, bb guns, pocket knives etc., but today, our young boys can't even 'pretend' to have a gun. Parents need to take control and tell the Government to stay out of their lives!!!!! I don't have kids, but I have nephews and I've bought them cap guns and they love to pretend that they're kiling zombies? Zombies? What the hell is a zombie? A video game? My point is, they have fun. |

Remember when................ Close your eyes.....And go back in time.... Before the Internet or the MAC, Before semi-automatics. Before SEGA or Super Nintendo... Way back..... Hide and seek at dusk. The Good Humor man, Red light, green light. The corner store. Hopscotch, butterscotch, double Dutch, jacks, kickball, dodge ball. Mother May I? Red Rover and Roly Poly. Hula Hoops. Running through the sprinkler. The smell of the sun and licking salty lips. Wax lips and mustaches. An ice cream cone on a warm summer night, Chocolate or vanilla or strawberry or maybe butter pecan. A cherry coke from the fountain at the corner drug store. Remember when... Watching Saturday Morning cartoons... short commercials Davy Crockett, Hopalong Cassidy, Junior Frolics, The Three Stooges, and Bugs, or staying up for Gunsmoke Or back further, Listening to Superman or The Lone Ranger on the radio. When around the corner seemed far away, and going downtown seemed like going somewhere. A million mosquito bites. Sticky fingers. Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians, Zorro. Climbing trees, Building igloos out of snow banks. Walking to school, no matter what the weather. Running till you were out of breath . Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt. Jumping on the bed. Pillow fights. Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles. Being tired from playing.... Remember that? The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team. War was a card game. Water balloons were the ultimate weapon. Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle. Eating Kool-aid powder. Remember when... There were two types of sneakers for girls and boys (Keds & PF Flyers)and the only time you wore them at school, was for "gym." It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends. When nobody owned a purebred dog. When a quarter was a decent allowance, and another quarter a miracle. When milk went up one cent and everyone talked about it for weeks? When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny. When you got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped, without asking, for free, every time. And, you didn't pay for air. And, you got trading stamps to boot! Remember when.. When laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box. When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there. When it took five minutes for the TV to warm up, if you even had one. When your Mom wore nylons that came in two pieces. It was magic when dad would "remove" his thumb. When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents. When girls neither dated nor kissed until late high school, if then. When all of your male teachers wore neckties and female teachers had their hair done. When they threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed ..and did! When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home. Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! and some of us are still afraid of them!!! Didn't that feel good.. just to go back and say, Yeah, I remember that! Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo." Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!" "Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest. Remember when... Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "Monopoly." The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties. It was unbelievable that dodgeball wasn't an Olympic event. Having a weapon in school, meant being caught with a slingshot. Nobody was prettier than Mom. Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better. Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin. Ice cream was considered a basic food group. Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true. Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dare." Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest protectors. If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!!! Author Unknown |

Quoting: Alwaysaware Do they even sell them anymore of have the PC progressive assholes put a stop to that too? I loved candy cigarettes as a kid and I never ended up smoking. There are toy guns at the walgreens near me. No idea why, it's not like kids can even fucking play with them anymore. I remember I had this toy replica army rifle as a kid. It had an orange cap on the tip of the barrel. No one gave a shit that I busted it off. Today I would've been in jail with a criminal record at 5 fucking years old. |
Resister User ID: 36421936 United States 05/09/2013 10:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In the 50' and 60's violent crime in most places was nearly unheard of. Today kids are being suspended from school for eating toast into the shape of a gun and the crime rates are much much worse. Imagine the conniption fits today's liberal media and school system would contort themselves into if they saw a kid playing with toys like this. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

His parents would sue the toy company and Roy Rogers. Maybe Trigger too. LOL! I actually got my finger caught in the Daisy air rifle mechanism, it was spring loaded and the spring was very tight. I pulled it back (to get the dirt paced into the barrel), it slipped and put a big gash in my middle finger. I still have the scar. Good times!
