We played outside and didn't have to worry about perverts. We didn't have to wear helmets to ride a bicycle, we learned the hard way.

The fries at Mc Donalds were awesome tasting, because they were cooked in animal fat and nobody was offended by it.

We said the pledge of allegiance every day at the beginning of class, and nobody was offended by it.

We prayed in public school, and nobody was offended by it.

We have changed a lot of things for the masses to appease the minorities. I am pretty sick of it, and was damn offended when they wouldn't let me show my I.D. at the last Presidential election.

Honestly, I understand your sentiment, but several of your statements are simply not true. Of course, perverts existed in the 50's and 60's and kids were molested. Some people were offended by the pledge (see: Jehovah's Witnesses). I imagine some folks may have been offended by public school prayer.

Just because you were unaware of something doesn't mean it didn't exist.
