Interesting, this stat caught my eye too. And like you I was surprised a bit, and at first I thought it was inflated and then I thought maybe not.
People do seem more agressive and certainly there are a lot of articles about there being a lot more chemicals in our food here in the states then in Europe and Asia.
So maybe your right, it's drugs.
We may have gone to far in giving companies carte blanch about what they put in our food.
I also liked the other thing you mentioned about the Fear of Dad...and some of it may be kids not getting their buts beat for touching guns when they are small. LOL
I know the "fear of dad" kept a lot of kids out of trouble when I was growing up.
Maybe we need to bring that back...
Stay safe @bozz
I think we definitely do need to bring a lot of that back. The problem is people seem to go to extremes these days. You have the people who outright abuse their kids and then the ones that coddle them into worthlessness.
True, moderation is a rare quality.
