Thats easy steve56

Its all in the food we eat steve56

There have always been rebellious problem kids but these days they are everywhere.Some say its a lack of discipline-I say its all to do with our artificial diet

There are more kids on anti-depressants now than in any other time

Makes me wonder who is really running this show

Next time you go to your Doctor and he prescribes you an antibiotic
say you are against them and see what his reaction is-interesting to say the least

Antibiotics effect the immune system in the long term IMO

Butsie,
could just be a sad change in society, but you raise some interesting points on it, makes me think of this mail someone sent me .................



According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were
kids in the 50's, 60's, and 70's probably shouldn't have survived,
because...


Our baby cots were covered with brightly coloured lead-based paint
which was promptly chewed and licked.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, or latches on doors or
cabinets and it was fine to play with pans.
When we rode our bikes, we wore no helmets, just flip flops and
fluorescent 'clackers' on our wheels.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the front passenger seat was a treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle - tasted the
same.
We ate dripping sandwiches, bread and butter pudding and drank fizzy
pop with sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were
always outside playing.
We shared one drink with four friends, from one bottle or can and no
one actually died from this.
We would spend hours building go-carts out of scraps and then went top
speed down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After
running into stinging nettles a few times, we learned to solve the
problem.
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were
back before it got dark. No one was able to reach us all day and no one
minded.
We did not have Playstations or X-Boxes, no video games at all. No 99
channels on TV, no videotape movies, no surround sound, no mobile
phones, no personal computers, no Internet chat rooms. We had friends -
we went outside and found them.
We played elastics and street rounders, and sometimes that ball really
hurt.
We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones and teeth, and there were
no lawsuits. They were accidents. We learnt not to do the same thing
again.
We had fights, punched each other hard and got black and blue - we
learned to get over it. (AND MOVE ON)
We walked to friend's homes.
We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate live stuff, and
although we were told it would happen, we did not have very many eyes
out, nor did the live stuff live inside us forever.
We rode bikes in packs of 7 and wore our coats by only the hood.
Our actions were our own. Consequences were expected.
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of.
They actually sided with the law. Imagine that!
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem
solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion
of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and
responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.
And you're one of them. Congratulations!
Pass this on to others who have had the luck to grow up as real kids,
before lawyers and government regulated our lives, for our own good.

Worry about youself and not them

If they pick the wrong person to insult then they will pay eventually

You could say its Ying & Yang....they insult you & then they get their just deserts from someone else

I once lived in a group of 5 units where 20 guys used to congregate outside religiously every saturday night and swearing obscenities towards us and singing

An ex shearer moved in and when they showed up this one saturday night
he had them scampering down the road within 10 minutes
of knocking out 5 and broking many limbs of the others

A Tough cookie

The 50s,60s & even the 70s were the boom years after the war

The reason those generations have survived is pretty simple

They were more physically active & ate less processed foods

Things we take for granted today were a rarity/priviledge back then

Although I seem to remember the church still holding its hand out for 10 per cent of my fathers wager every friday-what a priviledge-buying your way to heaven
