Earl said today he went to a double feature at the drive in in 1975 or 76 or so, and Ronnie goes "how old are you, 80??" or something close to that. Earl says "I was 5". Who the hell would take a 5 yr old to see Jaws?

Well, to be fair, back then most parents weren't so worried that movies would warp their kids' brains.  Parents were cooler.

I think that is disgusting.  When I was that age my parents would never take me to see a movie like that.They would leave me in a hot car with the windows up, leave me with the 40 year old uncle who never married, or simply leave me at home.Earl's Mammy should be ashamed of herself.

Well, it's no suprise, when you consider what poor parents "those people" are.That's one of the reasons "those people" have so many problems with crime and drugs.                            no racist
