    Agree 1000% quick rant, back when I played youth hockey as a kid that shit was my life, winning a championship was like hitting a 15 teamer, well we made it to the championship one year, long story short we were down by 4 going into the third, stormed back to a win 9-7, ended up with a hat trick and the ship, greatest feeling ever as a kid, until I seen the fuks gave both of us a trophy, same size, just different colors, I felt like the biggest ******* dbag ever.

    But I bet you think it's the government banning lead paint toys and making us wear our bike helmets and seat belts. What a fukking commie.
    Yeah, lead paint is awesome! Playing with mercury is lots of fun too!

    My brother and I used to play a game called stretch when we were kids, where you face your opponent and try to throw a knife in the ground beside him.
    He was standing about ten feet away and stuck me in the leg. I had to go to the hospital and he got the beating of his life.

    NY Daily News ran a story yesterday on how the Board of Ed wants to ban wiffle ball, and other mild kid games, claiming too dangerous.
    Wiffle Ball? Really?

    You know what you don't see too many kids wearing these days?
    Casts.
    We all broke our arm or leg playing as kids, no biggie.

    Today's kids sit with their X-Box 24/7, they are fatter than PO69, they don't even know what color the sun is.

    We used to get up at dawn when I was a kid, go swimming, then a pickup game of hardball at the park, then go out mo-ped riding.

    the U.S. should ban citizens that smoke, drink heavily, are 150 pounds over weight, and have pre-existing conditions to increase the bottom line on age expectancy.

    lol We used to play that same game, got a knife in the side of my foot, luckily not too bad. Limped around a couple days, told my parents that I twisted my ankle a little.

    Roman candle and bottle rocket fights, riding in the back of pick-up trucks, jumping off the roof to practice our stuntman rolls, tackle football in the street, smear the queer, BB gun fights....
    We used to play demolition derby with our bicycles, try to kick out spokes, grab and jerk handle bars, ramming into each other. Really the only rule was to try and send someone else flying to the pavement.... good times.

    It really is amazing I only broke a couple bones and a couple small scars from all the crazy shiit we did.

    Hell, it wasn't that long ago that you could drink and drive here in Texas.

    As the years pass, our government is doing everything they can to gain more and more control over our lives.

    The U.S. is one of the last places in the world that practices true capitalism and its almost coming to an end.

    There are so many alternatives for all the liberal socialists living in the U.S. and I sure wish they followed through on their promise to leave the country when Bush won a 2nd term back in 2004.

    The problem is the vast majority of liberal democrats are such miserable failures that without the government's help, they couldn't get out of bed in the morning.

    I totally get the overall point but don't act like everything that has been done in the past has been so oppressive to our lives. It's quite ok that lead paint, mercury and things like asbestos aren't used any more.

    30 is not much, some people are still alive at the age of 100 or more.
