I miss the Sixties

No bicycle helmets, you could ride in the back of the station wagon with the back window open, and you could proudly show off your babies like a choice sirloin steak.

I always shake my head when I see kids wearing those fucking bicycle helmets.

My friends and I never wore a helmet. We were also coordinated enough not to crash a bicycle.

I crashed lots of bicycles, some of them pretty hard. Never needed a helmet. Life is dangerous. Helmets should be available, but not required.

Car crashes kill 260,000 children a year and injure about 10 million. Child safety seats are required but nobody is making the kids wear helmets in the car. Maybe we should require everyone to replace the back seat with a truck box. You could put the kids in there so they fly around less. It's the number one cause of childhood injuries.

Drowning kills more than 175,000 children annually. Due to brain damage in some survivors, nonfatal drowning has the highest average lifetime health and economic impact of any type of injury. I don't see anyone requiring kids to learn how to swim or wear a life vest in the backyard pool.

74 children were 14 or younger died from bicycle accidents in 2009, a reduction of 58 per cent from the 178 killed in 2000. So ten years ago, it was like a thousand times less dangerous than swimming and over two thousand times less dangerous today.

Remember those "sandwich signs?" Where a guy would walk around with a board in front and in back of him shilling something?

Maybe we should do that with all these precious retarded kids who can't take care of themselves or ride a fucking bike without making it a tragedy.

Instead of boards we could tie bed mattresses to their front and back.

I think kids are coddled way too much these days.

I was at my friends place on Sunday. His 4/5 year old wanted spaghetti. So he cooks it up, but used rotelle shells instead.

Kid threw a fit and wouldn't eat it so he caved. I'm thinking, "look motherfucker, I don't care if you eat or not, eventually you'll give in or starve to death. This planet doesn't revolve around you. You're being an asshole and cuttin' into your dads time to get stoned with me. Now eat that shit or get the fuck outta here."

Fuck kids.

One would think with the population explosion there would be less child safety bullshit.

As far as children in general go, as soon as friends start shitting out kids, I stop visiting them. It's not like I got forty seconds of pleasure bringing your little genius into this world.

Kids suck. Every one of 'em that I see is just a nasty little self-center shit.Once people have those little fuckers they become their life and they can no longer converse about any other subject.

I blame the mothers, when they shit that first kid all of their common sense and half of their brains wind up in the afterbirth.

The father usually just goes along with her just so he might have sex again, at least he can go hide at work from her and it during the day.

I blame the liberals who like to pretend that kids are intelligent adults that can be negotiated with.

The same liberals that assume that it was the driver's fault because he ran over the cyclist that drove into the vehicle because the idiot had turned the wrong way down a one way street.

Cosby's other great line on kids was "I brought you into this world and I'll take you out".

The same pussy parents who give their kids time outs are the same assholes who see nothing wrong with any of their kid's behavior. For example: We have morons next door where the dopey kid upstairs likes to skateboard. The problem arise when he sets up his jump ramp in the driveway (which has no visibility of the heavily used street in front) and literally goes flying out into traffic. My thinking would be that it would serve the little fucker right if he got hit, but I'd hate to have an innocent motorist be penalized with guilt or fines or lawsuit because of this shit-for brains.
