Stuff Like This Makes Me Weep For The Younger Generation

They stuck ski,s on me at a young age, at one time we got into flips.... I almost made 4 but a bunch of sticks and even some twists. and the bolting bindings to top of vw bug and flying around locked in with the googles on. ya know...clean crazy fun that might kill ya.

 

castration and tubal ligation...

 

the dumbest thing i ever did was, stick my chocolate bar into a jar of peanut butter.....

man, my mother whipped me really big time too.....

 

But but but... it gets them more subscribers on youtube!!!

 

Here's your sign:

 

I tell you what.

Ive done some seriously STUPID stuff when young. God only knows HOW we got away with it. Once we climbed harpers ferry wva maryland heights straight up 1000 feet above the river without a speck of safety anything. And back down again. Even today I wonder what drove me to do something like that. I knew I was a rock climber as a kid but that's outside the pale.

 

Teens? It’s not just teens. Google the number of deaths by selfie in 2018. Just 2018.

The guy that got mauled/killed by the bear was pretty #### cool. Until he started screaming like a girl.

They couple that fell off the cliff on their honeymoon. Definitely made the global gene pool cleaner.

The guy who tried to thread the needle maneuver in a glide suit? It took several days to scrap him off the side off that mountain.

 

It's like another poster said above in regards to social media. An the ability to get that instant reaction. Your no longer just being stupid in private with your friends. Your now either famous, or infamous depending on how the internet blows that day.

I have no shame, I admit. I did plenty of dumb #### when I was a kid/teen. I'm sure we all have stories. I must say...I still didn't do the dumb #### they do nowadays. I Had enough sense to not do certain things like...eating detergent. Or blindfolding myself an then go DRIVING. I can overlook a lot an chalk it up to someone being young...somethings though..just..seriously..wtf.

You want to walk around with a blindfold all day, more power to you. Stay the hell away from driving. I can't believe I actually had to type that..lol.

I'm all for natural selection...except for where the idiot doesn't just kill themselves but some poor ####### just going about his/her life.

An they wonder why I drink..

Oh man, flashback to my childhood! That look on Dad's face was enough to make me instantly stop whatever it was I was doing, whether I thought it was wrong or not.
