Tja vroeger waren de bevelhebbers nog echte stoere mannen!

Tegenwoordig zijn het gefrustreerde politici die omwille van de populairiteit en de kiezer maar wat in het wilde weg roepen en onnodige levens op het spel zetten.

Helaas zijn het diezelfde "stoere" mannen van vroeger die zoveel onrust in de wereld zaaien.........................

 
VROEGER had je geen internet, toen belde je gewoon in bij een BBS.

:biggrin:

 
vroeger had je zelfs geen BBS, toe verstuurde je gewoon post per postduif!! :biggrin:

 
Vroeger aten we duiven, toen luisterden we nog gewoon naar de tamtam.:)

VROEGER hadden we nog respect voor oudere mensen. :biggrin:

 
Hola, broekie, respect moet je wel afdwingen....;-)))))

 
Vroeger dwongen we niet, toen kreeg je gewoon met de zweep! :biggrin:

 
Vroeger was: toen ridders elkaar bevochten met houten zwaarden, en bloeden als meelzakken. dat was vroeger.

 
Met houten zwaarden? Die tijd heb ik niet meer meegemaakt.
