Yeah, the 80s rocked. [/quote]

My lord get another hobby besides raining on peoples parades. This shit is getting old. Start another thread of you want to talk about how shitty the 80’s were. [/quote]

The 80's weren't "shitty." I'm sure your 80's were fine, great even. But others have a different experience. The title of the thread is "80s summers." Are we only to talk about drinking from a garden hose?

So you honestly think PP is talking about his/her 80’s summer experience, filled with pervasive racism, casual child abuse, and institutionalized homophobia?  S/he didn’t even know what those things were back then. C’mon. Let’s not be intentionally obtuse. [/quote]

I'm not the PP, but my 80's summers were indeed filled with things like racism, sexism, normalized sexual assault (boys being boys), and homophobia.  Not to mention unchecked bullying.  And yet I still came out if it will plenty of wonderful memories of playing outside, biking, running around in the woods, swimming, camping, hanging out with friends (in person!), and yes, drinking from the hose.  PP's comments don't have anything to do with how most kids enjoyed their summers.  Maybe there is some truth to the belief that Gen X is the most resilient generation.  [/quote]
