Ever consider that the person to whom you responded was just a tad older than you?

None of what you described may have happened during "their" childhood...

And did you ever think that the "context" they were using was what was on "regular TV", not the evening news? Did you ever see any of those things on the TV "shows" you watched?

I don't remember many of us "children" watching the Evening News...
