sjgusmc21 850 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 I cringed at some of the crap posted about '80's' children. No surprise coming from them.... https://www.yahoo.com/parenting/27-normal-things-every-39-80s-kid-did-1313664147980342.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DLT 1,646 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 I remember my math teacher in high school was given a rifle in class for his birthdsy by the rest of the teaching staff. We (the students) gave him a bottle of crown! Try to imagine that happening today! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,930 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Yep. Some things need to be fought back for. I've been planning dangerous things for my kids to do. Also the group I run gets a lot of teens an 20 somethings that have been indoctrinated by those fools. First thing we do is yell out "Men on one side Women on the other" at our dances. They eat it up. Young men don't often get acknowledged as men and they are starving for it. Ladies don't get treated as having anything special to bring to the room either, and ditto. Other dances avoid mentioning sex. They say "leads and follows" when teaching moves rather than "men and women" and they make a huge point of interchangeability. Contrast is cool.

ChileRelleno 7,069 Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 We did all those things and more. When it came to shop classes, we had a choice of several. Metal, which was extensive, forge, welding, sheet metal fab, tubing and more. Wood, electronics/computers and automotive. Several of us guys found out that Home Economics included cooking, which meant you made food and got to eat it too. We were all over that, several of us asked specifically for the cooking classes it and got it. I still love to cook and eat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sim_Player 1,939 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I hate Yahoo's liberal slant. National Defense is what inspired marksmanship in schools, back when we had a nation worth being proud of. All part of God's bigger picture, I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

macbeau 902 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 At my high school, we had a small-bore rifle range INSIDE the school and rifles & ammo stored on campus.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Went to a rural high school. No shooting programs but the parking lot was full of pickups with gun racks, and we did bring rifles on the school bus during deer season. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I took all the "electives" at my high school- wood & metal shop, drafting, sewing, cooking and typing. Still happy I did, too, who knew back in the '70's that typing would become so important?! (As I type this!) All the others helped me be more self-sufficient, which has come in very handy over the years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ktcm7271 999 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 George Carlin said it best: Kids have to wear a helmet to jerk off these days! And the classic: The continued "pussification" of America. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
