Differences between childhood and adulthood
« on: March 25, 2010, 12:43:44 PM »
When you're a child, you don't want to grow up.  When you're an adult, you're glad you grew up!

When you're a child, getting messy from head to toe while eating is adorable.  When you're an adult, getting messy from head to toe while eating is a sign of neurological dysfunction!

When you're a child, you view upcoming birthdays as a sign of an impending party.  When you're an adult, you view upcoming birthdays as a sign of an impending funeral!

When you're a child, you eagerly anticipate opening Christmas presents.  When you're an adult you dread opening after-Christmas credit card statements!

When you're a child, you run away from home because your parents are mean to you.  When you're an adult, you run away from home because your kids are mean to you!

When you're a child, you want to play with the neighbor's kids.  When you're an adult, you want to "kill" the neighbor's kids!

When you're a child, the school year takes forever to end.  When you're an adult, the school year ends way too quickly!

When you're a child, you want to read the Sunday comics, when you're an adult you check the obituaries.

When you're a child, you post on DU

When you're an adult, you post on CC.
Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

When you're young, you can't hold your whiskey.

When you're old, you can't hold your water.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
