I'll agree with the 1st and 5th ones, but the others are a little ridiculous.

| Hell even when i was young it was all about the sandlot football, basketball, capture the flag, jumping dirt hills, and building forts. Video games were something you did after the street lights came on. I'm amazed at how much time some people put into these games. I have a good friend whom hasn't come out of his room since he got a Wii....lol

| I can remember about a dozen of us in sixth grade (1967) bringing our .22 rifles to school in the morning and setting them on a table in the Industrial Arts shop so we had them for our NRA gun safety course after school. Yes, it was a different world. Too bad there aren't enough men around to fight to retain the good in what once was.

true-king (2/22/2008)
I'll agree with the 1st and 5th ones, but the others are a little ridiculous.I think the last two may be a little overboard but when I went though school that is pretty much how it went. Give it 15 years and the last two will be correct also.  The news HAS CONFIRMED THE OTHERS that you think are ridiculous. ;) Maybe not exactly like a red paint bottle that we used to paint model cars or planes, WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THAT AS A PAST TIME. Oh YEA, You can't take it to school because of the glue.
