I like men with natural curly hair, just didn't like the Toni Home Permanents they used to do in the 80s. JMO of course!
Don't know how that coralates to loving this breed?

One thing I thought of about this thread. There was a post about how you guys were able to go and play outside. UNFORTUNATLY (sp) there is too much of a risk for kids to play outside too much now. Well at least we are more aware of it.....thanks to TV. If this doesn't make sense let me know and i will try and restate it.

No, it makes total sense. If I had kids in the neighborhood where I live now, I would keep them locked indoors at all times, LOL.

Nothing freaks me out more, than when a guy changes is natural "doo", for a permed one. Remember Mickey Dolenz, of "The Monkees"? And Barry Williams as Greg Brady, of the "Brady Bunch"? (...and all of the other guys named Brady on the show for that matter!)...

...They all of a sudden showed up with super-curley hair one season!

Thats for sure my kids don't go very far, Im pariniod or prolly over parinoid... If I do let em go someplace I give them my cel phone, I always like to know we can get a hold of eachother... The world is scarey, more so just some of the people in it

I remember American hero, McGyver, Fall Guy, I loved all the shows lol Fact of Life

Thankfully my neighborhood has kids all outside playing. I am in my early 40's and really don't see much difference in the kids at all, if anything they are better. I hope my kids don't do half of what I did as a teenager

. I do check up on them much more than my parents did.

I have 2 teenagers and an 11 year old and sometimes I roll my eyes at their fashion just the way my parents did at mine. I remember having an Alice Cooper poster on my wall, he had no shirt one and had a snake across his chest, my dad hated that poster, he made me hang it on the inside of my closet.

I don't remember the paint splattered sunglasses, but I do remember my favorite cartoon as a little kid was Kimba The White Lion, it was on just before Speed Racer.

I turn forty tomorrow and I was thinking the same thing how sad kids can not play outside anymore. We used to play kickball in the street and Ring-o-learioooh (however you spell it) running all over the place. Now you get hit by a car or kidnapped or soemthing. Life has sure changed. Growing up was great for me wish my nieces and nephews could do the same.

"UNFORTUNATLY (sp) there is too much of a risk for kids to play outside too much now. Well at least we are more aware of it.....thanks to TV."

I grew up in a rough neighborhood. Before turning 15, I witnessed people shot and stabbed to death. And I was jumped several times. There were robberies. There were gangs. There was this. There was that. There were dangers then, too. But that didn't stop the kids from playing outside. That didn't stop the parents from letting them. I think the parents formed some kind of neighborhood watch network. There was always at least one neighborhood "elder" on his/her porch, keeping an eye out on the kids.

Maybe the dangers are different now. And I appreciate what the quote above was trying to accomplish. But I still don't think the dangers of today are so drastically different or so horrible that kids must turn to tv and video games and computers all the time.

We had those kids, too, back in the day.

But the rest of us, the majority of us, wanted to play outside... we wanted to be active... we wanted to be aorund the rest of the kids... we wanted to get out of the house.
I think all the technology that kids have access to these days takes a lot of that away. Not all. But alot.

It is sad, one of the towns near where I grew up outlawed kids playing sports in the street. I know some streets get really busy, but some of them hardly have a car every half an hour. We used to play all the time, and just yell out car whenever one was coming. I think kids playing video games has to do more with parents just looking for the easiest way to keep their kid quiet. I am a computer dork at heart, but would much rather be out hiking, biking, or running then infront of a screen.

I have seen so few parents that I would classify as good parents (easy for me to say I don't have kids...), but when I see kids hit or kick their parents and then they treat it like it is nothing is outragous to me. If I ever did that I would have paid for it, and probably had a sore butt for a week.

I also can't blame the kids for sitting on their butts all the time when that is exactly what their parents do. What is it like 60% of americans are overweight, and we wonder why our kids are lazy?
