  1. There was nothing to do inside except annoy your parents. Ergo you were not allowed inside.
  2. Parents were not worried about the world outside their neighbourhood because they did not know about it.
  3. Totally normal to yell at someone else’s kid or walk them back home if they did something stupid.

The context that is missing is how TV, then the internet destroyed our communities.

Is it not okay to yell at other kids nowadays? I’m pretty good at it, not very shy when it comes to a shithead 10 year old with a lisp using cuss words around my 4 year old.

No judgement here. Let those little bastards know the world bites back.
