Don't let "blue" cities tell you what you can and can't do. There are no blue states, only blue cities. Good on those kids.

From the post:

>The crack of gunfire was heard across the shooting range as kids, ranging from 8 to 18, concentrated on their targets, their .22 rifles held as steady as possible. Their expressions were serious, their attention zeroed in on the black dots they were aiming at. Once everyone had shot their designated rounds, the range officials declared the range closed. The gravel crunched underfoot as the contestants went to inspect their targets.

We used to trust kids and tell them to act like adults, so they did. Now they're told nothing is their fault and that they're too young to do anything that would cause them to develop into happy adults.

This is why you have 30 year old's that think its acceptable to live at home and not have a real job.

I worked with a guy that his wife would not let their 13 year old take out the trash if the sun was down. In a VERY safe almost entirely White city because he might get "snatched". That kid probably still acts like a child even though they are in their late 20's now.

Stop acting like children are untouchable and unable to do fuck-all.

When I was 6, and my mom needed some bread and milk, she would give me some money, make me walk to store by myself that was 3/4 of a mile away, down a body street pick out the best bread by feeling to see how soft it was, getting the milk that had the longest expiry date, getting the correct change, and then carrying it all back to her. If someone saw a kid by themselves these days, the cops would be called and the kids would be take away and put into foster homes.

Sounds about right, I don't know what our age difference is but it could be 2 years or it could be a decade. I did the same thing though it was usually riding my bike with a backpack. That bike was probably older than I was but it still worked.
