Can't get them off the lawn, can't get the lazy pukes to cut it :-@

But I guess "they don't have to worry about getting Polio" or that certain kids don't have to ride in the back of the bus (or be denied service at many establishments) is not in the spirit of the exercise...;-)
They probably have not pulled out a map to get where they are going... but I seem to remember looking over at drivers barreling down the highway with the unfolded map spread out over the steering wheel (that has to rank up there with texting while driving). And they are probably denied the experience of smacking into the steering wheel during an accident.
Yeah, each generation seems more spoiled and coddled than previous ones, but among the things they don't experience anymore are the things they don't have to do anymore (some very time consuming or even hazardous).

Ha ha.... Or how about "back when I was a kid guys could drive drunk on the road and only get a slap on the wrist.
Back in '65, I gave a talk in SPEECH class in which we had to use a "prop". Since I was in Iowa, it seemed only appropriate to give a talk on "GUN SAFETY".
I remove the shot and powder from my 12 gauge shotgun shell, and filled it back up with paper punch holes. As I wielded the shotgun, demonstrating various safety techniques, I concluded the talk by pointing the gun over the class, and making a comment about, "Of course that most important thing to remember about gun safety is to ALWAYS TO CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE GUN IS UNLOADED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I PULLED THE TRIGGER AND COVERED THE FIRST 3 OR 4 ROWS WITH LITTLE PAPER DOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I did get an "A" on the talk.
Try that in school today and see how it changes your life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Geezer
Health and Safety!!
I followed the instructions and raised both hands.
Unfortunately I was standing up leaning forward on the desk at the time, so I'm now flat on the floor, with a bruised chin.
Double check instructions before posting!
Did 21 out of 25.
Skipped 5, 10, 19 & 21
Makes you feel a little sad for kids today. What happened?
Billy Carts. You'd have to have them. Not sure what you'd call them.
Mobility device for kids.
Pole with a cross piece at rear for seat and 2 wheels.
Cross piece out front with another set of wheels, binder twine (baling string, rope) for the reigns (steering) if sophisticated enough a short stick to lever against the rear wheel for break.
Just need a steep hill with no inappropriately placed fences and preferably not a dam at the end of its run.
Boy they were fun.
Oh and no crash hats in our day, but would definitely recommend that.
Well heck, we would slide down dry, grassy hills on flattened cardboard - usually from refrigerators and the like. If we could scare up a block of paraffin from the ironing closet, so much the faster! Getting airborne was the goal. Barefoot, shorts and maybe a tee shirt. We learned a lot about Bactine.
Bactine "and relieves pain on contact" Good old Google. Hadn't heard of it.
Must be good stuff, made for the job.
Can you imagine taking these ideas expressed here to a "How do we get the kids involved" Forum in down town My Place.
We'd get run out of town and banned from any similar events, gathering. Probably finger printed and put on file.

I am surprised no one has mentioned "Drive in Movie's", do, or did they have them down under?

There are only two drive-ins operating in South Australia.
Remote Coober Pedy 850 ks from Adelaide has the only country drive-in in SA.
Did a tad of freebie surveying for their new digital projector, getting distance of screen from projection box and screen's X,Y,Z.
Google Earth 29å¡ 0'21.82"S 34å¡45'25.25"E.
Afterwards zoom slowly out to see my 9 hour drive back to Adelaide..

As far as I am aware there are no drive-in movies in New Zealand
The correct longitude is 134, not 34.
I see this is close to the Catacomb Church. Is this an over-sized dugout?
There's a triple-screen drive-in near my house. The drive-in can be seen on google-earth @ N 38å¡14'35" X W 104å¡33'52"
You can see what's playing right now here: Mesa Drive-In

Thanks for adding the one HC
Catacomb church was purpose built by the Serbian community . There are at least 6 denominations with underground churches cut into the rock
Coober Pedy was below the sea level a 100 million years ago when the opal began its process of being formed and is now 200 plus metres above SL with the dotted hard hillocks ideal for digging into with out reinforcement for accommodation as constant underground temperature around 24C summer and winter.

I did most of them and I am proud to say that my 13 and 6 year old sons still do probably 17 of the 25.
