Yeah I grew up 80 miles from a city in a town of 8000.
The black neighborhood was literally "the other side of the tracks" with the police station standing guard.
We rode bikes, no helmets, built tree forts, kick the can till 9pm, baseball and football in the few empty lots. Had a great time.
Today, places like that exist less and less due to the rural opioid and meth epidemic.
Though back in my home town, I'd raise my kids the same way.
We had dirt clot fights on top of dirt hills. We were so mean!
We built "traps" for each other in the woods. They didn't always work right, but some of them got fairly elaborate.
Hellz yea.
War in the woods or ambush was fun as fuck.
BB gun fights were the best. We even built a sand bag catapult.
We had block wars with firecrackers, bottle rockets, rocks whatever the fuck else you could find and whoever won got to talk shit until the next block war.
That's why I laugh at snowflakes.
I haven't seen a tree house much less a kid climb a tree in well over a decade.
You aint even uh lie.
Unless a pajeet made a tree house simulator app.
Yep I feel you on the opiod shit.
I used to have to walk my cousins to school in crack infested NYC.
Theyd routinely try to sell to my cousins which is why I ended up walking them to school.
So when the fucks would start their shit I'd say, "you must feel really good trying to sell poison to a 7 year old kid."
To which the ghetto celeb would respond, "yo dun jus treynah mayke paypah noem seyin yo?!"
Zero IQ and conscience. Exactly why NYC is the way it is now.
Too many low IQ pavement apes continually made excuses for and protected by the 👃.
