Thanks for saying what I have been thinking for a long time. But what do you expect from a society that sells you things that you never needed until they told you that you did. I remember one of the first commercials that I vividly remember where that worm started to turn. It had a guy that needed some special lotion for his face, because, as we all knew, there was such a high degree of pain when we shaved. He would make painful faces and yell out in pain. I swear I would just watch it and shake my head and wonder when shaving tiny hairs off ones face became painful. Aftershave OK...but shaving...not so much.Big Wallaby wrote:Then, you look at my age group and below (the ones that had Discovery Zone, etc.) versus you and compare the number of absolute wimps. Look at the number of guys my age who are not real men, but absolute wimps. Now there's a rant I could go off on for a while.
Must... hold... back...
Oh, and did you not know about acid erosion and what it does to the enamel on your teeth? Did you ever meet anyone that was "suffering" from that terrible problem because they ate too much fruit. Or, back in the day, did we carry around 55 gallon drums of water everywhere we went so we wouldn't die from dehydration. And those were the days before AC everywhere. Now you work in Air Conditioned offices where you don't break into a sweat all day long and carry a gallon jug of water that you draw off all day long. And it must be bottled water. How do you figure they fill those bottles. They don't go down to a stream and fill them one at a time. They are filled from a tap.
This could go on for hours...so like BW...I will stop.
