Groan tube
Not seen one of those in years
Probably banned for kids now because someone determined it would damage their ego or something. I always say the era of good toys ended when Tonka started making plastic vehicles. Somehow LEGO still got through the purging, barely. How a destroyer of feet still exists in today's fragile world is perplexing.
Ok grandpa.
Yeah, I'm old. I also had better toys than kids these days, and they don't even realize it.
Do you honestly think that’s because all the older toys got banned and not largely because toy companies sell whatever makes them the most money?
You played with toys as a kid? Back in my day kids worked. You little pansy
You had better toys because y’all’s generations sacrificed your children at the altar of capitalism.
Nah, Gen-X here. That's our parents and grandparents, brainwashed into the cult of Edward Bernays. The place was already doomed long before we got here.
The people currently fucking up everything right now in ways that boomers could only dream of are very much gen-x. The main exception being Zuckerberg who's already a millennial.
Well it's a good thing you're here to make sure they know then. Otherwise they might enjoy themselves without ever realizing.
a youth of mumblety peg and lawn darts no doubt
Do the one about participation trophies!
Yoo thats a lot of downvotes lol
You seem frustrated.
Choking hazard for kids under 3, but otherwise it's fine

Bad troll is bad. And sad.
Pretty terrible trolling actually, as it was just a side comment on the slide into acceptance of crap by the masses. If it was trolling because it wasn't funny, then so be it, but that's been a long tradition of humor forums to have commentary that is serious, not funny. I did upset some people, so if that's the bar for trolling, then sure...
But toys were better back then. No one has dismissed that claim, because they know it's true. Sorry.
"Better" is a loaded word, so maybe explaining how the toys were cheaper, safer, more entertaining or educational would go a long way towards helping you make your point.
I'm not reading that. Piss off already.
Who hurt you?
A groan tube with a poor upbringing who turned to a life of crime
Legos did, apparently.
This is Humor. It's supposed to be dark here.
Anyone who brings up legislation to ban Lego withdraws once they realize that they may find a brick in their shoe one day.
Are legos even that bad? I barely notice when I walk on lego
I thought it was only a joke that legos hurt when stepped on
Some Legos have weird shapes and a side standing Lego can hurt but I'm just here thinking about people's messy houses that stepping on a Lego is even a possibility.
