Mine dropped out at 15 and could already design and build large two-story houses. He could build and repair engines, owned farmland, bringing harvests to grain elevators all by himself. Today people spend 20+ years in school and still can't do anything, while my grandfather's houses are still standing, lived in and enjoyed by many families 100 years later. Education has destroyed people. When I look at school exams from 100 years ago I'm astounded at how stupid people have become. And this video is chocked full of BS. Lots of states still use corporal punishment and they're the states people are moving to. The ones where it's outlawed are declining in population. And people are addicted to opiates more than ever. The trick has been to get people wasting all their most productive years preparing, and never doing. Today's college grad isn't sure if they're a man or woman anymore. How can you find a mate if you're uncertain about that? The longer one puts off having a family, the more likely he won't have one. Eugenics never died.

My maternal grandmother was forced to be sterilized by the government as she was illiterate & my grandfather was blind (he could read braille) & in order to get government assistance, they forced her to be sterilized as they already had two daughters! Otherwise, both of my grandparents were white, so it goes to show that these eugenics programs also affected the families who were poor and/or disabled! My mother & I are both convinced my grandmother had an undiagnosed learning disability which is why she was illiterate, as I myself am on the autism spectrum!

I can agree with the idea that corporal punishment was used far more than it should have been. But at the same time there are some situations where corporal punishment may be a good thing. Usually something very severe, for instance safety related. Sure it leaves a mark on the child, but that is kind of the point, it's effective at changing a behavior drastically in a very short time. But using physical punishment often reduces the impact of it when it's actually important, also it doesn't need to be severe at all to get the point across, it's only valuable because of it's shock value. For instance if your child keeps on running out in the road and you have tried other methods to get them to stop then physical punishment may be what you need to resort to, it's better than getting hit by a car.

To anyone wondering, there’s a reason why the FDA took so long to respond to heroin.

They were formed to deal with the sweatshop conditions in Detroit factories. Considering this was before things like the Triangle Waistshirt Fire, that’s saying a lot about how horrendous those conditions were. Side note; none of this is very shocking. Stuff like arsenic and heroine for medicinal purposes is within the same era as the disgusting practices for Hollywood beauty most infamously shown with Judy Garland.

Sadly, corporal punishment, most commonly in the form of paddling, is still both legal and prevalent in many of the Southern U.S. states. *Paddling:* A spanking in which a flat piece of wood with a handle on one end (which is called a paddle) is used as the implement. Named after being shaped in a similar way to various sports paddles such as ping pong paddles and paddleball paddles. Because NO teachers' supply shops sell spanking paddles, nearly all paddles used by school faculty members were built by high school students in wood shop classes; the remaining paddles are old fraternity or sorority paddles.

Stories like this do make me empathize with the older generation. I can’t imagine living in a time when drug use, physical assault, and a “suck it up” mentality were rampant. Though I can’t help but to roll my eyes when jaded and self-aggrandizing older people talk about how weak the younger generation is for caring about our health “We were beaten as kids and we turned out great!” Yes, because being emotionally detached and abusive to your own family due to not breaking the cycle of abuse, is the true mark of a well-adjusted adult.

And another thing for #2, Volvo engineer Nils Bohlin invented the modern 3-point seatbelt we see in every car today. Instead of patenting it and profiting off it til the end of time, Volvo opened up the patent so that any car manufacturer can use it.

Astrid Lindgren wasn't a fan of corporal punishment. In fact, she once wrote about a pastor's wife she had met. The lady's little boy had done something bad and for the first time in his life had to go find a switch for his mother to punish him with. After being gone for a long time the little boy came back crying with a rock in his hand and said: "Mama! I couldn't find a switch, but here's a rock you can throw at me!" EDIT: The lady and her little boy had a cry together and she gave up corporal punishment entirely. Realising that your child thinks you WANT to hurt them is a rather horrifying experience.

@@ExtremeWreck The problem with English is that... You are dealing with a written language with no improvements in using diacritics at all. So from a Germanic language point of view. This is what we call " beyond stupid ". The Germanic vocabulary itself has problems as you are left with silent GH's, but the way English rises vowels when conjugating vowels leaves you with a problem of ɛ -> ɪ or i a -> /ej/ wtf With some accents like mine where that vowel count of 14 in the standard is a 20 due a sound shift. :X Due to the accent already having unround vs. round happening leading to rhoticism. Leading to all words with OO a guessing game. Hoop, goose, book, took, foot, or wood! Don't really rhyme, the oo's all have different quality ( length) and wrong vowels galore! >:X So when I see "oo" I can't help but curl or say " Just use the IPA to describe English vowels you tongue-tied son of a gun! " I cringe when I see it. So more than 2000 years of sound changes! French influence by removing æ and two ð and þ from the alphabet. This was one part of the problem as you lost a way to tell if a sound is voiceless or voiced except memorization. The names of English vowels are butchered beyond belief of the great vowel shift and also should mention the Germanic language part again? That means you are forcing more than 14~20 sounds in "diphthong graphs" and "monophthong letters" to play double duty, triple duty, or worse! English has no need for QU, C maybe, due to absurd amounts of romance vocabulary, but QU is useless when it could be simply KW! Learning to read Spanish, Italian, and even Portuguese is more straight forward. Portuguese has the problems of being a stress timed language, so reduction of sounds is fairly... Predictable and clear, thanks to being mostly graphemic, a spelling reform, but left with just an irregular X! Like in "exacto" vs. "xisto". Z acting like S also. English's vocabulary also kind of puts it in a really bad position, the worst position for any language. So unlike Swedish or German or even French... English uses too much Latin vocabulary and too little Germanic. So word irregularities are beyond spot on. Leading to you have words with proto-umlauts being written clashing with French words. This can be seen with words like beet vs. beat... The beet vegetable is "betan" in Swedish, but in English the sound shifted! Also the early writing of Germanic languages had an E over the letter before it switched to umlauts. Also English takes from NORDIC and WEST GERMANIC cores of vocabulary, literally like sandwiched with words from both sides of the Germanic family tree. Leading to even worse spelling, and how those once -ig endings becoming simply /i/ as Swedish doesn't seem to pronounce it, English's pronunciation reminds me more of Nordic languages than West Germanic except /z/, and voiced sounds beyond common. Though the written form's biggest sin is etymological spelling and history in the same script. CH being very irregular, with 4 sounds, but 3 common! Lichen, Lich, chivalry, arch ( ch = /k/ ) WTF Silent GH's or /f/, maybe /p/ A's being irregular as the price of losing one letter leads to confusion! No digraph for french sounds in words! NO LOGIC TO E'S THANKS TO FRENCH BULL**** English lost most inflection due to sound mergers! I swear a new common mistake is confusing A for AN, Or speakers of English saying Woman, and Women the same? WTF Spanish speakers have it easier learning their language's written form than English, Italian is logical. English grammar is basically simplified nordic grammar with some flavor notes of West Germanic, and the occasional latin. Most speakers got the benefit for having a handfull of loan words, ENGLISH is plagued due to French invasion BS. So one working with their own language's core vocabulary doesn't save from illogical silent letters or confusing spelling. All of this could be avoided with logical digraphs, accent marks for both letters and vowels to deal with historical BS, and have umlauts and rings. Double vs. Single letters! Know when to schwa and reduce ( lots of content vs. I am content )To know when a sound becomes fronted, rounded, unrounded, and nasal. As nasal happens in my accent when reducing verbs in their past participle on average or just reducing words like won't. With some even worse stress-timed language problems.

Spare the rod is a quote from the old testament The OT is much older than the unknown poem you mentioned.

Oh schools in Portugal had something similar to Australia! Except they used a small metal spoon-like instrument, it had the handle and then a circular "head" - the part that was supposed to hit the hand of the child - with 5 holes in it. Or they used wooden rules. It was used to "correct" misbehaviour, or as a punishment for wrong answers, bad grades, not having homework done, etc. My mum still caught this "method" in school, thankfully I never did.

When you discussed Radium usage in products, it reminded me of the story of Eban Byers who was a socialite who consumed Radithor (radioactive water) many times a day for several years. Soon, his jaw fell out and he would soon pass. Later, they checked his grave and learned that it would be radioactive for centuries. The image of him without his jaw is online and honestly, it gives a terrifying representation of health in the 1920/30s

I've heard, however (and it makes perfect sense) that the "rod" wasn't meant as something with which to beat someone, but rather referred to the "rod" used by shepherds to gently guide sheep away from something ("They rod and thy staff, they comfort me"). In other words, a child left to him/herself without GUIDANCE would surely be spoiled, but guiding a child properly (also mentioned in the New Testament) will help the child behave properly. Of course, I could be completely wrong; you can make the Bible say anything you want if you misuse it. Still, this is the best explanation I've ever heard.

"Good Old days" refers to a longing for a time when There were no school shooting, lower crime rates etc because we had stricter punishments. Its a longing for 1950 and that wholesome "Leave it to Beaver" , "Father Knows Best" image where kids could play in the street with out fear of cars and children could talk to strangers/adults with out fear of kidnapping or worse. I time when there was no vandalism, and you could trust kids to do your chores with out fear of being robbed and where punks didn't gang bang and trash stores. Where you could relax at a soda fountain, have people pump gas and wash your windshield, when movies cost $0.05 and you could see two movies, a cartoon and a news reel, where an average joe could repair a broken car and you could turn on TV with no profanity. THAT is the "Good" old days I currently wouldn't put it before 1885 I prefer to at least have electricity. The "Good Old days" is a longing for all the things you see in every episode of any 1950s Sitcom. and if beating your child was the reason why there were no school shooting and no drug dealers then its worth the price. In the minds of those who long for then. MY Good Old Days is supported by PSAs no more zero tolerance and get rid of No Child Left behind. Bring back detention and dodge ball and PE , paid lunches, carrying cash . Some changes are the reason why kids shoot kids NOT the fault of video games but the fault of soft punishments and bad mental health and no legal system protecting children. We have zero tolerance. that means every one gets punished even a kid with vitamins is a drug dealer. If we has a Jr Court system and Jr police officers and Jr Lawyers and brought back child labor then kids could punish kids for kid crimes upon other kids threw debate and evidence and witness testimony and they would learn responsibility and money management too. Adults shouldn't be "I didn't see the crime go down so you are all punished" that's why kids shoot kids to get revenge on bullies for getting them suspended. For tormenting and torturing them while adults do nothing. If kids had laws and courts they could punish only the bully and not the victim.

Just a reminder that 1950s sitcom was idealized life - and not very accurate. In fact a lot of the stuff that "wasn't common" - was. And those "Good old days" you mentioned pretty much only applied if you were white and male. The only reason crime was statistically and unusually low in the 1950s - which is only based on historical standards- was likely due to people living in suburbs more and the unusual wealth of the 1950s that came from Post-WWII America [and didn't last very long]. Kids were often kidnapped from their homes and front yards - and never seen again. But p-words weren't really publicized until the 1960s. Children were taken out of school just by claiming to be a parent of the child. [1953, Robert Greenlease] In 1960 - the violent crime rate was 161 per 100,000 people, by 1970 it was up to 364 in 100,000, and up to 758 per 100,000 people by 1991. In 2013, it was DOWN to 368 - which is comparable to that of 1970. Overall the suburbs are STILL safer than the cities - and most crime is in the cities where it's lower in the suburbs - most Americans lived in the suburbs in the 1950s. Overall, the belief that the 1950s were safer and better - is fabricated. Same with any prior years. It's based on fearmongering that began in the 1970s and is still present today, but it's pretty much all lies. It SEEMS safer, because you've grown up being told it was safer. And a lot of that was the same issue as why the world overall seems less safe than ever before [present large scale issues and looming danger aside -ahem-] -- News coverage. The 1950s didn't focus on those crimes as much as modern media does. In fact the internet has interconnected us so much we hear all the time about how dangerous the world is - but it used to be WORSE we just didn't hear about it. And the 1950s myth pretty much only applies to Western Countries post WWII and a lot of other countries were not so safe, and cheery, and happy and idealistic.

@@Crow_Smith Just a reminder, in the 50's whites were 80-90% of the population, so white males were about half of that, meaning non white males were only a small fraction of that number. So it _was_ fairly accurate. The majority of white women were happy with their lives and I bet whatever white women were still living in the past 10-15 years (even the children born then who are still living now) would say they would love to have things be like they were back then. You're just wrong about so many things. Even the crime statistics that you posted, prove what we are saying. You mention crime being down in 2013 - yet that number is still TWICE what it was in 1960! And since you didn't print it, I'll assume 1950 was even lower. So YES, there IS more crime today! And it's not because of the internet or cable TV. Again, you proved yourself wrong by mentioning that back then, anyone could go in and take any child out of school. Soooo, if crime was so bad then, why didn't we have 100's of 1000's kids being taken? If it was so easy, and crime was so bad, you'd think half the kids would disappear! But they didn't. Because crime wasn't as bad back then. We have all kinds of safeguards preventing kidnappings and shootings nowadays, and we still have it happening. If everything else (crime) was equal, the amount back then should have been off the charts with no safeguards in place! Nobody is perfect, nor society, and not every circumstance applies to every single person the same every time. Nobody is claiming that. But IN GENERAL, the 1950's were a simpler, more mannerly, more "idealistic" time period overall compared to nowadays. There's just no way to try to dispute that. As a person, you can even say you prefer the _liberation_ from conservative values and ideals and are happy to deal with the faults of today to gain that liberation. That's perfectly fine and understandable. But don't try to lie and twist numbers and history to justify your preferences.

I remember a story from my mother's childhood. There was a mentally disabled girl in her elementary school class and she was physically punished several times a day for basically no other reason than existing as a mentally disabled child.

The phrase "spare the rod, spoil the child" originates from the Bible, specifically from the book of Proverbs 13:24 in the King James Version, which states: "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes." The "rod" in this context symbolizes guidance, discipline, or correction, rather than physical punishment. It suggests that proper discipline and guidance are essential for a child's development, but it doesn't necessarily advocate for harsh or abusive treatment. Much like a rod was used to guide the ox.

Automatic or manual, all transmissions have clutch parts, and if the drivetrain is appropriate, a driveshaft. Only difference is that in an automatic transmission, the clutch is engaged and the accelerator disengaged/reengaged at set intervals. Automatic transmissions cost between twenty and one hundred fifty percent more than manual transmissions for repairs on average, depending on car model, wear, and so on. Coca-Cola still does, depending on where you get it from. Pencils used to use a lead-carbon compound. I forget what it's called off the top of my head, but it's not one hundred percent lead, it would smear otherwise since lead is a soft metal that has a melting point of about 170 degrees or so (Celsius).

I’ve often wondered why no car manufacturers have used the beautiful old designs from the 20s and 30s but just used modern engineering and computing power and safety etc for the actual construction. I love those old cars with their elegant design.

Not disciplining a child is the problem today and why the generation coming up has no respect. I was spanked plenty of times. I never feared my parents. I respected my parents and learned right from wrong .

I think a lot of people know the true story of coca cola having a high level of cocaine in it at the time of its introduction.

Bayer is also the company that made the gas for the camps.

Hatters used to line their, well, hats with fur treated with mercury. Due to confined spaces (and exposure to fumes) they went mad, bringing to life the term "Mad as a hatter" (later shortened to "Mad Hatter").

Funny, as I was taught the term came from the process of manufacturing hats back in the day used a solution of mercury in the processing of the felt. Mad as a Hatter is describing the people who made the hats, a "hatter," not the people wearing the hats.

I’ve also heard voice actor Maurice LaMarche testify that he used to be a smoker, and although he quit smoking, it limited his range, where eventually he couldn’t do higher pitched voices anymore.

In the mid 70s, I was in school in Pasadena and Deer Park Texas. They still used corporal punishment there. It was call getting "Pops". I do know that between that and getting my butt whooped from my parents, whatever the reason was, I never did it again. Then again, I only had that happen when I did something particularly bad. Didn't turn me into a serial killer or bully. It did however, make me into somebody who doesn't cross the line between right and wrong.

Fun fact: the fda was created because of poor meat creation back in the 1900s. Please fact check this in case I’m wrong.

Along similar lines, not with what you said. But Portugal saw rates of heroin addiction fell, drastically upon decriminalization. Portland didn't because it's a single city. It turned into a destination.

I think re: physical punishment, there are actually a lot of nuances that get lost. Like, my mom would spank us; it didn't scar me in the least but it sure did tell me when I had crossed a line, cos she only did it over bigger things, and she always told us why we're getting spanked - it was never just "do what is at it I'll hit you". She almost never hit us hard enough that it actually hurt. I was fine. My youngest sister thought it was hilarious and would waggle her bum at my mom when she'd threaten a spank - so my mom stopped spanking her and did other stuff to get her in line. My nephew got so depressed for throat time he was spanked, my sister never did it again. My youngest brother refused to listen to anything as a small child and would run off so often it was actually dangerous to him, and we tried everything to no avail - but one light snack on the behind and he never did it again. And in contrast to how we did it in my family , my aunt would sometimes hit my cousins with a wooden spoon and they all hated it. My mom got whacked with a ruler in school too, and hated it - both those things are way harsher than what she herself did. But there's so much variation in how this is done, and in the response of kids as individuals, that I really think just lumping it all together isn't a great way to study it.

Brings into mind combat helmets on WW1 and WW2. Lots of soldiers sorely complained about receiving head pains and injuries wearing them... and yet dutifully ignore the fact that said pains and injuries are the result of lethal bullets and shrapnel being successfully shrugged of by said helmets.

Same with helmets. I remember parents in the 2000s getting triggered over being encouraged by the media to have their kid wear a helmet when riding their bike, skateboard, roller skates, etc. outside, claiming it, "Ruins the fun for the kids." which made no sense. It's not like wearing a helmet makes it harder to ride a bike or it impacts the experience enough that it makes kids not be able to have fun. From what I've seen, the only time I've seen kids get upset over having to wear a helmet was either when they were afraid of getting made fun of or thought they looked "uncool" (it probably has a lot to do with their parents' negative attitude towards it). Wearing a helmet didn't ruin the playing experience for me. Then again, it's not like I wore it EVERY time I rode my bike or scooter, so... Or these parents at the time would claim the helmet "makes kids soft". Yes, because cracking your skull when you fall definitely makes you stronger. 😂 Sure... Pretty sure the kids who didn't wear a helmet and were unlucky enough to hit their head really hard on concrete ended up with a head injury, not a tougher personality or whatever. 😭

This is one of the reasons why Strider is one of my favorite KZreadrs (specifically when it comes to topics like these) and I love how his lists is no longer exclusive to tv shows/movies.

Prior to Samuel Butler, the "Spare the rod and spoil the child" quote was attributable to: Proverbs 13:24 - "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes." However, The Geneva Bible (1560) cross-references it to Proverbs 23:18, which states, "Do not withhold discipline from your children, if you beat them with a rod, they will not die." and Sir 30:1 "He who loves his son will whip him often, so that he may rejoice at the way he turns out." So, y'know...jus' sayin'... 🤷‍♂

23:01 Bro did not just say "Death Sticks" Drug Dealer: "you wanna buy any Death Sticks?" Obi-Wan: "you don't want to sell me any Death Sticks" Drug Dealer: "I don't want to sell you any Death Sticks" Obi-Want: "you want to go home and rethink your life" Drug Dealer: "I want to go home and rethink my life"
