what started

[Spartacavolus]

the wussification of america? Serious question, but thought the zone might give me some accurate answers, and some creative ones as well. When did we, a generalization, become wusses? What was the event that made us say, gosh darn it, he cussed at him, or dagblameit, that has to hurt his feelings.

I think it started when they started telling parents that some toys were too dangerous to buy. That generation may have started the whole process. I would even say about '81. They also stopped the old body vette that year. Yep, I'd say '81.

The year they took the old evil kinevil bike off the market due to it basically being a weapon. And lawn darts. Oh, by the way, don't throw that spike towards anyone because it might hurt or kill them. No ****.

I'd also add when they started putting all the food nutrients info on food. The further its broken down, the wussier it gets.

It was when bugs bunny became to violent and was suddenly politically incorrect.

Phineas and Ferb is pretty funny, and SB is hilarious at times.

Damn you...that's exactly what I was going to say. Throw in banning 3-wheelers too.

Truth.

I just bought my 7 year old a bullwhip because he is interested in Indiana Jones, so I am not part of the problem.

When kids stopped riding bikes to school. Some do now, but not if it's more than a block or two.
Cable tv.
When basketball courts and fields stopped seeing all day neighborhood basketball, baseball and football games.

The biggest culprit for today's kids is Caillou. He is a whiny pussy.

I don't know how UCLA's undefeated season and NC has anything to do with it.
