When I was about 8, we lived on a street where all the houses were pretty close together. We would jump from one garage roof to the next. We played football in the middle of the street (cars or not). Got my ass whupped 'cause we went out and caught a bunch of garter snakes (then lost interest 'cause they are quite boring) and left them on my back porch in a box for my mother to find!
Good times.
I now live in one of those smug "Whole Foods", "Starbucks-styled" neighborhoods where kids ride their bikes dressed like storm troopers wearing helmets so f*ckin' big that they're constantly falling backwards off the damn things.
Shit, we're movin'.

A nation of jingo-automatons is equally disastrous.

Oh man, not air, real steam. For that was more on the perfect than three experienced examples heating up to the state of one's loss.

God I'm so sick of this shit...I go to my cousins basketball / soccer / baseball games and they don't even keep score for fear that it might damage their little egos. We're diggin a nice big hole for ourselves. Like Rome we will fall.

Making kids say the pledge is creepy with or without the word "God" in it.

(Aug 30 07, 10:13)taught us to do something as a whole and actually give a shit about the country and flag. for years growing up during the national anthem EVERYONE put their hand over their heart and sang along.
now. look around. it has nothing to do with the state of the gov today because the us of a has been around a hell of a lot longer than george w. bush, it's a sign of respect for generations of people who fought and died so that i may waste time on nt shooting the shit with my buddies and a vast majority of people shrug off the flag like it's a piece of cotton and tune out the national anthem like it's white noise.
it's a shame.

(Aug 30 07, 08:48)You're kidding right? I know it's hip to blame everything on Republicans but this is the product of touchy feely Democrats.

anyone who doesn't wear a helmet downtown with the chicago cabbies would actually be the moron.
i got a similar story zombie. i crashed hard after getting cut off by a car and couldn't bunny hop in time to get over the curb, endo onto the pavement headfirst, the helmet saved my ass. i actually hit the helmet then somehow ninja flip/rolled over my shoulder and landed on my feet and ran it out. all i got was a scrape on my shoulder and a fucked up wheel.

I agree totally that this incessant meddling has to stop. Let kids be kids.
But I do have to disagree with the helmets in cities thing. A few years ago blasting to happy hour through DC on a balmy friday evening (with my helmet firmly attached to my handlebars) it appears somejackass had tried to steal my front tire during the day..only to loosen the quick release upon seeing the cable lock....needless to say I hit a tall manhole cover at about 30 mph, knocked the front tire off and I flew like a bad superhero over the traffic. Tore my ear 'bout off, concussed the crap outta me and my buddy ran over me as he couldn't stop in time or swerve due to traffic...woke up in the ER with a doc saying..oh yea he'll live...35 stiches in the head another 12 to stick the ear back on....Helmet would've just left me with a ringing headache....
oh yea, feck the spandex...and racer gear...duct taped shoes, cutoff thremal pants and a t are all you need...

parents like this are growing a nation of sue happy pussies. no longer will anyone throw a punch in a bar for fear of being sued, even if the guy completely deserved it NO, asked for it. no longer will knives be kept with the sterling silverware because if a burgler breaks into your home and cuts himself on it while trying to steal your silverware you'll be sued for your home. bob in accounting will no longer be able to receive any promotion as he is better looking than most men, and even though he is far more qualified the fat guy will sue for discrimination, even though he has no degree and voluntarily signed up for the extended warranty on his dishwasher. women will no longer be able to wear makeup because those who have allergies to makeup will sue because they feel 'harassed' by women who do, and men will not be able to grow beards because the men who can't will feel left out and sue.
these people fucking suck.
they took away the tag.
they have arrested a single mom who spanked her shitbag brat of a kid ONCE in the parking lot because the little fuck was throwing a tantrum.
they took away dodge ball cause kids who couldn't throw or were too fat were complaining.
they took away the pledge of allegiance because of one word.
they'll spit in your face and when you punch them in theirs they'll sue you for your house and car.
before i turn 40 they'll take away gym as a whole in school then when i'm 45 they'll produce a study as to why our kids are so fat.
makes me want to puke and punch the first soccer mom i see.

yeah, I don't wear a helmet but actually my parents would totally yell at me if I didn't, hahaha
- mrdobolina0
the odds of that happening are slim and none. I think they just want to look the part of the pro. spandex shorts don't make you go much faster either, you hobbyist. :P
- Jaline0
haha, it does look stupid if you're not a professional biker, but it can save your life on a busy street...

I always laugh when I see some moron riding a bike in the city with a helmet on, I mean you are just riding a bike you pussy.

When I was a kid, I learned to ride a bike without a helmet , I skated without pads, I wrestled with my friends, I played tag, tackle football and hockey with no protective equipment. Sure I got hurt now and then, but it also helped me learn not to fall down, how to protect myself and was a hell of a lot of fun...
This is reason #1 I don't want kids....
