    My GG dad spent most of my childhood looking at me with a real sense of disappointment in his eyes as poured another drink. My older brother used me as a punching bag. Teachers watched the fights in the schoolyard. Male teachers would smack you if you got lippy

    WL is right - the over reaction was swift to go the other way. Boomers were horrible parents.

    Boomers are the originators of the pussification of America, no question.

    The problem is the pendulum hasn't swung back in the ensuing generations. We just keep taking Boomer parenting to greater and greater extremes.

    After school fights were commonly arranged between antagonists. I had one in the classroom at end of day. Guess we couldn't wait. Never got in trouble as it was considered normal boyhood activity which it is.

    Worked as a kid in the family business and also worked doing drywall with my friend and his dad. Work ethic was important and stressed in my home as was personal honor.

    Raising pussies is no way to live.

    Water tower at Shadle Park High when I went to Glover Jr High. Me and this kid named Gene had some stupid dust up in the hallway that morning. So it was to the Tower after school. We just started to square off and the next thing I know, I'm getting lifted by the scruff of my neck by none other than Mark Rypien.









    That's it.


    End of story.


    Fuck off.

    Boomers are decidedly worse than their parents. My parents made me go pick strawberries, beans and cucumbers before I was a teenager. My boomer generation decided that was child abuse and outlawed it to show how modern they were. The next generations are even worse. When letting your kids play outside with out adult supervision is deemed child abuse and grounds for putting your kids into foster care - that society will not last. When huge chunks of your society think the Chicoms are more moral than Trump - that society will not choose freedom and liberty, but seek the "security" of slavery.

    Did you get on the buses to take you out to Hillsboro back then then too? Paid for a lot of Donkey Kong.

    After school fights were not a daily occurrence - but enough to know that if you didn't show up, you were branded for the rest of your days. Didn't matter if you won or lost. Obviously a convincing knockout gained mad playground respect but just getting in the arena earned some blacktop points.

    Let's not forget, the Boomers made Smear the Queer great.

    Yeah, everyone at my school knew what “meet me at the flag pole after school” meant. Girls fought too. But I grew up in Eastern Washington. :)



    I think the fighting has now all moved online with the cyber bullying. Kids need to learn to SAY IT PEOPLE’S FACES!
    The toughest kid in grade school was a girl. Best athlete too. Nobody messed with her.

    Went to Rainier Beach HS (gives you an idea of life in my neighborhood) fights were always in the park across Lake Washington Blvd - not many would show until it was the girls fighting. Then everyone wood.
    Of course, it was just in hopes that clothes would be ripped off.

    That would be leftist boomers. I have raised a great family and are proud of all of them. All of them are contributing members of society. One has her PhD, and is professor at a well known private University in Southern California. Our youngest is getting her Masters degree in Math. We avoided sending them to leftist k-12 government indoctrination centers which is the big problem.
