Pussification Of America: Texas Mom Jailed For 18 Hours For Letting Kids Play Outside In Cul-de-sac Unsupervised

Maybe I’ve missed the past few hundred local Texas town hall meetings, but I had no idea letting your kids play outside was against the law nowadays. Parents are expected to keep an eye on their children the WHOLE TIME? I always thought that was the time when those little bastards finally got to get some exercise while the parents smoke a joint and bang in the living room. That was always my impression, at least. But I suppose kids aren’t allowed to play anymore. News to me.

Which is crazy, because I remember having all sorts of exciting adventures with my friends sans parental supervision. One time a new kid moved into town and we finally had enough players to field a whole baseball team but then we accidentally hit a Babe Ruth autographed ball into blind James Earl Jones’ yard where he kept this beast of a dog — that was dangerous but everything turned out fine in the end. And there was another time where some of us went searching for One Eyed Willy’s gold in this elaborate underground catacombs while being chased by Italian mobsters but found enough jewels to save our house from getting sold and turned into a golf course by the Romneys. And then there was that dead body we saw near the train tracks — that shit was deep. Can’t believe kids today aren’t allowed to share these experiences. That’s what being a kid is all about!

It’s a cul-de-sac, people.

"a golf course by the Romneys." - Or a series of basketball courts by the Obamas. Barry is worth over $12M.

"..while the parents smoke a joint and bang in the living room", nope that is only in the ghetto, these are white folk we are talking about. But it doesn't matter where it is, it's the fucking sad. A new chaptor has been written, now instead of just worrying about some perv or nut job taking your kid, you have to worry about getting arrested. Sad day in America.

haha, he called Troy's dad Mitt Romney. "Walsh, you're LOOKING at the richest man in Astoria." top-shelf, mo, top-shelf. solid addition by neil as well. "THANKS FOR THE BIKE, HOMEY!" but this shit is horrendous. thank god i grew up in the 80s and 90s. nobody gave a FUCK about the kids. the world gives way too many shits about children these days. i remember being 12 and having a fucking roman candle fight with some other kids in my neighborhood. great times and no one even lost an eye. these kids today are just getting sissified. the world is gonna be one big episode of Glee before long.
