It's so sad that we now live in a world where we must be aware of our surroundings all of the time. But that's where we are. Living under a towel doesn't make you safe, it just makes you vulnerable.Not to get political, but I think that photo is a great metaphor for the safe spaces that the young demand today.
The only reason I carry a phone is for my wife. Ridiculous that smartphones are given to children.. . . and SEE the wifi signal to your smart phone.It's so sad that we now live in a world where we must be aware of our surroundings all of the time. But that's where we are. Living under a towel doesn't make you safe, it just makes you vulnerable.Not to get political, but I think that photo is a great metaphor for the safe spaces that the young demand today.

Sure, but it could and did occasionally happen. The point is us kids and parents weren’t paranoid about it. While the times today are more dangerous and far more morally bankrupt, people today have become overly cautious and extremely sensitive, and have also isolated themselves in virtual worlds. When I was a kid the idea of not being outside most of time to play would have been torture. Most kids were like that.But when you and I were kids you could safely play outside with little chance of some pervert trying to shove us into the back of a van and flee. It was a different time.I'm not sure if you knew what I was referring to but when I was a kid, many decades ago, we were aware of our surroundings; we just didn’t let it keep us from doing things. When I think of all the things we crazy kids did back then, and in the summer we were outside from morning until evening, when we were yelled back inside, it saddens me to see how different, inactive and isolated children are today.It's so sad that we now live in a world where we must be aware of our surroundings all of the time.

Exactly. It's just another form of censorship that retards personal and societal growth and development, but that's the kind of lunacy going on today. It ties into what I said about people, young people mainly, being extremely sensitive today. Stressors are a part of growth and survival in every living thing.
Makes me happy I never had any kids.
Mothers coddling their children, now there's another problem today.
Trust me... Motherhood is incurable, no matter how old the kid is.
Sane, sensible and responsible motherhood doesn’t equal coddling. That's why so many young men today are so soft and ultra sensitive.
