2nd that one (though only applies to Western places, as most of Asia and Africa you can still smoke inside), plus being able to smoke on a plane.

Riding a bike(skateboard,scooter,etc) without 80lbs of protective equipment on.
Playing on a swingset that did not cover every chain, bolt, screw, bar, etc with padding. (not long before they are deemed inherently dangerous and banned outright).
Not living in fear.

Also being able to walk 6 blocks to the store as a kid with a few dollars to spend hours picking out penny candies, fun times.
are we going to be living in bubbles or on mars ro something? how can kids not be able to play outside?

Because they aren?t allowed to by parents out of an irrational fear of them being abducted or getting hurt

That and all the pedophiles hanging out at the parks.

The bad saturday morning cartoons like the super mario show and the god awful legend of zelda one
The ability to explore the world without constant rules/restrictions/dangers/supervision etc. We would ride our bikes all over the place and find stuff to do. We'd get together on an empty field and play ball -- no adults, no umpires etc etc, just fun. That stuff is long gone, kids today can only participate in activities with adult supervision, ruining all the fun.
Saturday mornings just aren't the same.
I guess kids can still do the same things that we did (playing outside, etc), just the impetus for the most part is not there.

My neighbor friends and I used to run around "shooting" each other and playing war. I found some of my old toys the one summer I was home and good christ were they realistic. These days I'd be arrested for being a terrorist or something.
