I'm Generation Fucked Around and Found Out We got tossed around in the back of a station wagon witn no seat belts like a pile of fucking laundry. We held on to the ashtray in the door to survive. We didn't have first aid kits. We had a parent who told us to walk it off and we'd live.
We didn't have warning labels or childproof caps. Bit we did have lights that could clap on and off. We were the generation that didn't need safe spaces or constant supervision. Hell, half the time our parents didn't care or even know where the fuck we were.

Imagine a world or at least a country where sΠ΅x is not a taboo topic in the sense of nobody being allowed to talk about and is instead embraced as people using what evolution gave them and tapping into their inner animal. I think they would be likely irreligious and almost all pro choice.
