Mindset Facts for Kids - Very Cool Site

[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]Beloit[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial] College[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial] compiles a list of “mindset” factors by graduating class. It's pretty cool to examine (if you are old enough that your frame of reference is much longer). [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]The lists are pretty extensive. Here’s just a small excerpt for the Class of 2007:[/FONT][/FONT]

  • [FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]Iraq[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial] has always been a problem.[/FONT][/FONT]

  • [FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]Paul Newman has always made salad dressing.[/FONT][/FONT]

  • [FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]Bert and Ernie are old enough to be their parents.[/FONT][/FONT]

  • [FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]An automatic is a weapon, not a transmission.[/FONT][/FONT]

  • [FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]There has always been a screening test for AIDS.[/FONT][/FONT]

  • [FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]They have never gotten excited over a telegram, a long distance call, or a fax.[/FONT][/FONT]

  • [FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]Stores have always had scanners at the checkout.[/FONT][/FONT]

  • [FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]Yuppies are almost as old as hippies.[/FONT][/FONT]

That is a fun list! Thanks for sharing. I'm anxious to see what my own son's list will be when he graduates college in 2016!!! About #3 on the second list:

3.Peeps are not a candy, they are your friends.

I've always said that...... about the candy!
