Bell bottoms, hot pants and halter tops. Weed in plastic bags.Siphoning gasoline. Was it the Saturday Night Special music show? Chiller Theater (“chiiillllerrrrr”), dial phones on the wall with them long cords. Did I mention alcohol? Forgot party lines, phone booths and ash trays in stores and restaurants.

Everyone knew their gender and acted appropriately Most of the trucks in the school parking lot had a shotgun and rifle hanging on a rack in the back window. And guess fuqqing what. There was no.such thing as mass shootings at schools in the 80's Your removed your hat, stood proud and put your right hand over your heart for the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem And you respected your elders and each other. Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

Being in the world spotlight as a superpower and having to combat communism really didn't do America much good, as the former Frontier Spirit was replaced with a certain obedience to authority (be it governmental or corporate). The same thing is happening in my country, as I see desperate attempts at trying to cling to infinite economic and population growth at the cost of society at large. It got even worse after the cold war when there was no common enemy anymore and the factions of the west started eating their own as a substitute. Good observations

We hardly knew what a game warden/possum cop looked like unless it was opening day of dove season. Sure there were a few missing fingers and the occasional blind eye. Just part of the deal. I believe a lot of kids today are cheated out of growing up. I see so many that have zero common sense and screw up as soon as they're out from under the helicopter parents. I'm sure a lot the folks that post here know that and raise their kids right however I think that number gets smaller all the time.

It was part of the GCA of '68 that required ammo not be sold to anyone under 18.

Every time that gets mentioned all I can picture is Ted Kennedy and that red drunks nose of his. Hell, it took days to get sunshine to us. I'm sure it took years for the word to filter down about not selling ammo to kids. And then nobody gave a chit anyway.

Can't blame anyone for not wanting to risk it.

Even most heavy girls would be normal weight by todays standards. [/quote] in '84, '85 you had full blown AIDS going around and nobody knew nothing about it. Thought you could catch it off a toilet seat or shaking hands with a dude who wore fluorescent clothes. You didn't want to have sex with skinny girl, you wanted a girl that was "healthy" Last edited by KFWA; 06/09/21. have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings

As previously mentioned they would sell ammo to me because they knew me and my parents. I have no idea what the policy of other stores in other towns was at the time. I do know Jamesway and Sears would not sell ammo to minors here in the 70's.
