I hope not, but since children are probably no longer to play with toy guns, I just don't know anymore.

We used to run around with long sticks playing army alot when I was a kid.Kids weren't allowed to be kids anymore, since the mid 80's, when all the whiners, snivelling cowards, pussies, wussies, and commies started coming out in force and threatened politicians to change things.
Schools were banned from exactiny disciplinary actions on students anymore.
Schools were banned from forcing bad students to stay after school for tutoring or some kind of help class.
Schools had their protocols banned for handling bullies and unruly students.
Teachers had their voices banned and restricted as to exactly what they can and cannot say to kids.
Teachers were forced to stop teaching actual social skills, manners, etiquette, and learning skills and teach ONLY what is in the curriculum books.
And it just spread like a wildfire of cancer across the country, violating and destroying pretty much everything that allowed kids to be kids.
And it's still going on this way, and getting worse.
And in my neck of the woods, they all get guns.In my neck of the woods kids still roughhouse. I don’t see that changing, it’s a natural part of being a kid and playing
There’s some truth to it. Todays helicopter parents don’t let kids be kids.Did you invent an opinion out of thin air just to attack it?
Boys are going to crash and bash their surroundings and themselves no matter what.There’s some truth to it. Todays helicopter parents don’t let kids be kids.
Yeah I’m not really seeing kids being prevented from roughhousing per se. It’s more just the constant supervision. When I was growing up in Michigan almost all kids got on their bikes and didn’t come home until supper. Most parents my age these days would crap their pants if they don’t know where their kids are 24/7. I don’t think it’s healthy for the kids or the parents.Boys are going to crash and bash their surroundings and themselves no matter what.
The often catastrophic expense of their kids getting injured makes most parents shudder. I think the doctor at the emergency room knew me by sight but our insurance was good and affordable.Yeah I’m not really seeing kids being prevented from roughhousing per se.

Yes it's sad people feel like their kids are fragile but then I think about all the times I could have died from some stupid shit I did and never said a word to my parents. Just the hitchhiking and shroom hunting adventures alone would have given my mom a heart attack.Not really healthy to live in mortal fear of what *might* happen.
forcing kids out of the house once in a while would reduce screen time, too.
I have a buddy who only lets his kid have a flip phone for emergencies. Safe and unable to endlessly be glued to a screen. It’s genius really.
Maybe there where just fewer dangerous crazy people back then?Yes it's sad people feel like their kids are fragile but then I think about all the times I could have died from some stupid shit I did and never said a word to my parents.

There were more. It was just easier to get away with predatory shit back then because the law shamed the victims. The 60s and 70s were an absolute golden age for rapists and pedophiles.Maybe there where just fewer dangerous crazy people back then?
