remember when on Christmas Day the streets and sidewalks would be filled with children riding their new bikes, skating with their shinny new skates, pulling their red wagons, playing catch out in the fresh air just having fun?
now as I look down my street, not a single kid outside and the weather is beautiful

It was a Christmas present from last year!
We intend cycling a lot this summer.

nostalgic about Christmas as we seem to be as they grow older?

Originally posted by @mott-the-hoopleMy best friend from primary school was knocked off his bike while in their home street; it was a hit-and-run. The driver would call the boy's mother on their home phone every few months to ask how the boy was. Obviously someone from the neighbourhood. No illegal or immigrant. Could have been and Tom, Dick, or Harry, and probably was. Creepy.
safer inside...chances have greatly increased of being shot, raped or kidnapped thanks to illegals a refugees.
My friend suffered brain damage and personality disorder. He never fully recovered.
That happened in the 1960s. There were creeps in the neighborhood then; there are still creeps in the neighbourhood now. I guess there always will be. You can't protect your kids against everything. You can only warn them of avoidable dangers and hope they stay out of the way of unavoidable ones.

I agree to a point. establishment republicans yes.
Originally posted by @lemondropThere is a direct relationship between the lack of social interaction that kids generate today, and the snowflakes who are so easily offended. They don't play games with each other. They don't play sports without coaches and referees. They can't climb a tree without their mommy. These things build self-esteem, the major character shortcoming in today's youth. Without self-esteem, they seek the comfort of like-minded groups, and the safety of the herd.
