What from your childhood would be UNTHINKABLE today?

[The Brain]

I never vomit uncontrollably.

I wouldn't have thought Berkut would be the one to make a 'think of the children' argument.  Still, nobody is immune to panic over minor things.

The "'think of the children' argument" would be to say that all hoses, except safe ones, should be banned.

Not at all.  Vastly overstating a danger due to the potential risk to children is what a 'think of the children' argument is.

I felt the same way when I learned that Yuros vomit uncontrollably at the mere sight of a peanut butter jar.

They...do?

I don't. Peanutbutter&nutella sandwich.

When i was in Portugal it was almost impossible to find. and the ones you could find where the non-homogenised kind.

And then you take steps to try to actively ban said things for everyone.
Berkut not wanting his own kids to drink out of a hose is hardly problematic.

Nope.

Just thought of this, but back in the early 70s, the ad campaign for Fritos featured an animated character known as the Frito Bandito, who was a stereotypical old-timey Mexican bandit.  No way a campaign like that could last long today--it would draw protests very quickly and get yanked.

[garbon]

Yes, burger king's recent campaign that had a squat mexican wearing the mexican flag pissed off mexicans.

- Also in the country, my dad would give us his .22 rifle, tell us to take turns and be careful, and send us out to shoot at tin cans - I was 10 or so.

You have actually fired a weapon?

Maybe there is hope after all for judenkind in North America.

I don't think I've ever seen a peanut butter jar.

I took a class in pistol shooting in college. 

For my undergraduate degree I went to a backwoods university.  Each of our dorms had its own gun room where students could store their firearms when they weren't using them.  The funny part is that didn't strike me as unusual at the time; only much later did I learn that most universities do not encourage students to bring firearms to school.

For my graduate degree I went urban college in Detroit.  A gun room there would have been completely unnecessary since student kept their piece on them at all times.

You dodged a bullet.

I wanna know what happen to Apple Jelly, i can't find it anymore.

I can get it in my supermarket, have on at home, as a matter of fact.

Edit: Berkut, that lead in the hose water thingy sounds phony as hell.
