toy gun commercials.... how did we survive?

Animals and insects are born with instincts and know exactly what to do--reproduce, build a nest/web, hunt down prey. For some reason, our brains are pretty much an empty slate, which causes all kinds of turmoil, and I guess all kinds of entertainment value for the gods watching from above.

They took away my saturday morning cartoons and my greasy happy meal. No wonder kids now a days aren't happy.

I remember being first downstairs to watch the bugs bunny show every Saturday .
Those are still the best cartoons and I occasionally still watch them .
 
I know things have changed a lot for the better some worse but I remember when I left the office maybe with 1 folder and no cell phones etc when work was done that was it .
Now we are connected 24/7 as well as our kids growing up .
We had to have patience back then you waited for your Favorite tv show , project , what ever now everything is instant .
Remember having to know how to read a map ?
Navigation in a car is quite cool though .
 
Phones can be shut off as with most things. If some can not understand texting or email it to bad. Everone needs some down time to reflect on the important things in life. Being available to everyone 24/7 is way over rated.

There are days I could chock the google maps gal.
As far as reading maps the auto club has no idea what coordinates are and the wife needs to know which way north is so she knows what direction to put the map to read it. Plan and simple map reading for some has alway been a lost art for a long long time.
 
I turn my phone off for days at a time, my goal is to turn it off permanently
 
And people said cartoons weren't educational. Yosemite Sam and Wile E Coyote taught us not to mess with guns or explosives, and physics.
 
My favorite toys were guns and I was lucky enough to have had parents who were buying me toy guns. All my friends had them and we played together. Even the cartoons were much better and when I see what kids are watching now I get sad. My son is still small, but I play him cartoons that I watched and he seems to like them. Not all new cartoons are bad, but most of them are. I hope that he will grow to like guns because I really want to teach him how to hunt. I was even looking at rifle scopes to buy for his birthday. I will give it to him when he is older, Only toy guns for now.

Remember lawn darts , metal climbing bars , the round metal thing you hung on too for dear life l could go on how did we all survive the bruises and cuts my god man .
 
We survived because our parents, not the system, taught us how to live properly. Kids these days are raising themselves at best; at worse the schools are all liberal indoctrination centers that preach globalization nonsense as opposed to stout patriotism and doing what's best for your community, your country. Furthermore, social media and technology brainwash kids while they're not at school and parents spend their days working and then are too tired to do their jobs when and if they finally see their kids.

If the love of god and country and a solid parental presence at the house all returned, the world, well at least in America anyway, would be a better place. Sadly, I dont ever see us going back to that way of life. Where this goes is beyond my guess but I will say that any desires to live forever are gone. When my time is up, it's up; I shudder to think where this is headed to and where the world will be in the next 20...heck 10 years...

The pandemic put us closer to that way of life. Daycares were closed and parents working from home. Parents had to cope with raising their kids. No where or no one to pawn them off on.
