Sweet chain email.

My favorite part is how millennial invented bacteria in freshwater as though giardia magically didn't exist until 1980.

Yes, of course, things like you will contort the truth into dimensional tunnels that would make Dr. Tony Newman and Dr. Doug Phillips proud.
Irwin Allen would just love you.

Wear the label Boomer proudly, JxnVol. The DinkinFlicka. We were the last generation with privilege of:
--Being able to walk to and from school in safety
--Having real playgrounds to have real fun with dangerous but thrilling equipment. Without pedo creeps hanging around.
--Could play stick ball in the streets, barefoot on hot summer days, with drivers trying intentionally run us down.
--Play outside til dark, riding bikes, chasing each other, climbing trees without an armed neighbor shooting at us.
--Were mostly fit because we got natural exercise instead of growing blob-fat from playing video games on a sofa.
--Could buy a giant babe Ruth candy bar for a nickle.
--Pick and eat roadside sweet blackberries that grew all over the place.
--Enjoyed safely drinking water from a water hose.
--Went on summer vacation in the family station wagon, camping almost anywhere without fear to save money spent on motels.
--Had nearby streams we could fish and swim in without worrying about flesh-eating bacteria or amoebae.
--The free love hippie era
Those who mock boomers will never know thrill, safety, and privilege on enjoying these experience, poor things. Too bad the generation that followed didn't appreciate things like Earth Day and other ways we tried to alter awareness to take care of the only planetary home we have. Long live boomers!!!!!!!!!!!

You and I agree on very little... but this is spot on.

We used to play Army in the woods in our neighborhood with all kinds of fireworks…super smart. Another kid and I were “patrolling” along this creek and came face to face with the “enemy kid on the other side of the creek. All three of us were trying to light our “grenades” (firecrackers) as fast as we could. My buddy got his lit first and threw it across the creek at this other kid. He tried to lean out of the way and ended up catching that firecracker between his shoulder and his ear! It went off and that kid fell to the ground screaming, his neck was black from the powder burn and his ear was ringing. Of course we sprung into medic mode and started putting cold creek water on that burn mark. Jeeez, what we used to do. He ended up being mostly fine. It is a wonder none of us got killed or at a minimum maimed or paralyzed.

Played Army in the woods with air pump BB guns. We'd all solemnly agree no pumping more than 3 times and no head shots. Then we'd all proceed to pump 100 times and aim for the head. Good thing those BB guns had no accuracy past 20 feet.

You literally shared a chain email as gospel. Read a children's book and get f***ed. Lol.

Not my fault, you don't know the difference between a post and chain mail. And to associate sexual intercourse with children, marks you as a pedo.

Whatever bruh. Most of those things are absolutely true. I know that bothers you.

And stay off of Pornhub and you won't get chain emails. Ax me how I know.

Most of that list describes my childhood, you dunce. I'm 35.

Coming from someone like you who doesn't pass up an opportunity to take pictures with mildly attractive women, I don't think you should be flinging incel digs at someone like me. Lol.

We made "pistols" from PVC pipe and sometimes duct tape to shoot those Cats at eachother. Extremely primitive, nothing fancy. Went to the woods and did exactly what yall did. Funny how apparently half the posters here seem to have done the exact same things despite the fact there was no internet, social media etc for these trends to spread. Some things are just innate...if boys aged 10 to 15 years old can gain access to bottle rockets by any means at all, they are gonna go to the woods and shoot them at eachother. Lol. Once they get drivers licenses, they will shoot them from cars. American boys will be American boys. Best times in my life.

I would say, as a Gen Xer, we enjoyed a lot of what boomers did in the way we grew up…as a whole. Great time to be alive.

I'm aware that some who live/lived in privileged enclaves did and can still enjoy those privileges. In general, post boomer era, most kids/ teens missed out.
No Wonder Years for them, sadly, we've lost so much of the things that really made America great. Not that our generation was perfect, but it was pretty good generally speaking.
