Good grief, anal people make me insane. My parents would have been jailed today for letting us be kids like they did in the 70’s.
I think Laz2 in a post way back, pointed out that growing up not real long ago, you knew it was time to come home when it finally got dark, and you were exhausted, cold, and just plain starved from playing so hard.
As a kid in the 70’s, we didn’t have computers and such, so we acted out in real life what we thought was cool. We used our mini-bikes to make plywood jumps like Evel Knievel. When we played ‘War’ we used the helmets, with winter coats as ‘armor’ with one pump Daisey BBguns and shot at each other . And we drove those same oh so dangerous Honda Trail 70’s out to rock quarries far from the farms and safety of parents to do battle. That would be child neglect today, yet we somehow survived. (Fun as **** too.)
This video game stuff ought to make every parent today relax, and thank video game makers that they can raise dormant slugs, safe from the boogeyman, and their own prosecution if their kid actually leaves the house and behaves like… well a kid.
