Now, is it really that we were safer, or have we been programmed to be over protective?
never looked at it that way. I was oblivious to my surroundings as a kid so I honestly cant tell you if there was many freaks and such at stores as a kid to compare. I guess there had to be when I really think about it. That's a good one to think about.
Same here, I would always hang out in the toy section for 30-45 minutes while my mom grocery shopped. I cannot imagine leaving my kids alone in WM for five minutes, much less 45. Of course the store was small, the town was small (we practically knew everyone), and life was different.
Funny, I remember a lot of times I'd hang out in the toy section so long that I had to pee (back when the grocery store did not have public restrooms). I recall pacing back and forth down the three or four toy isles to hold back the urge. Couldn't stop and linger too long b/c the urge would worsen if I slowed down. Hahahahaha, good times.

Late '74 as well. We were rockin' the Disney vinyl and Betamax tapes.
Like Eddie, I didn't realy develop my own taste in music till I was about 13 or 14.
Back on topic, I'm still waiting on a few more cast items, but I've been patient this long and I know they'll turn up eventually!

So you were only a year old when ROTJedi came out, and only 6 when Akira was first released? Beat it kiddo. Grown-ups talking.
Oh shit! You barely remember Reagan! You practically missed the FCC blind eye to all things advertising in children's programming. You poor, poor kid.
I got two words. Golden Era.
Pft. I'll live longer!
I'm just proud you guys know how to use the internet.
we were right there with Al Gore inventing the internet.
Yeah, man, I was using the internet before it was called the internet. BBS on a 300 baud modem.
Good times, good times...
EDIT: I immediately regret doing the stupid a$$ iPad update this morning ^^^ ...ERRRR!
BTW, I never used a computer until late 90's...mid 90's if you count my CAD class, but that's all we used them for...
I remember when our school computer class used these old Sharp units.
Yes, that's a cassette tape drive on the right.
When I was about 10, my rich cousins got an Apple IIc and we'd play games on it nonstop, along with their Vectrex game system.
These cousins also had heaps of Joes and vehicles, which started my love of 3.75" action figures.
I don't know about you guys, but I want a Joe based Sargent Bob Barnes headsculpt. That would be perfect for Muskrat, because who wants to shell out $360 for him.
Good lord, man. You guys were a decade behind!
My dad was a junkie. He wrote all his own DOS-based software. We has multiple TRS-80's (model I, model II, model 12) with 8" floppies... then we got an Apple IIGS (VGA!), then a x386, and I took a x486 25MHz IBM to college. Computers everywhere.
How has this not happened yet? We ramble more in here than in any other thread on the forum. Including the ones designed for us to ramble in them.
It's kind of like footpaths on campuses. You can pave sidewalks where you intend foot traffic to go, but it never fails... There always tends to be those paths that people take regardless of where the proper paths are supposed to be.
Ya know what, we did have Oregon trail in library I think...but that's all we did on them...it seemed more like a video game system than a computer to me...
Everyone played Oregon Trail!.... and it was fun until that one kid figured out that you could go to the outpost and buy -$100 worth of bullets, which gave you $100 worth of bullets AND $100. Then the challenge was gone.
I, never knew that...I just thought it was funny when Sarah contracted malaria or some crap and died...I liked letting them die, hahaha...
<------ sadistic

eeeeyup!...I don't think anyone (except stupid chicks) like arrogant cocky a$$holes...though I'm betting you get that way after dealing with the insane asylum that is HT
Moderating over there would be depressing... like being a judge in the special olympics (you know, without all the heart warming Corky moments).
Yeah, the traffic they get vs us is ridiculous. I wouldn't want to police that many people either. We have a good thing going here, just the right amount of people where we can actually converse like normal people without every thread turning into a flamefest (usually).
Guess it's the peril of success.

By the way, NSA, thanks for sending me those Jinx finally. Did you send Obi his free stuff?
It was in the box I sent you, I hope you didn't lose it! It's pretty small..
ANYBODY ASKS ABOUT ORDERS WE SHUT DOWN THE THREAD!!!
No, no. It's supposed to be:
I DON'T WANT TO POST IN HERE AGAIN OKAY IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS TAKE IT TO PM!!!!
