+ If I was away from home and needed to make a phone call, I had to go to a phone booth and pay $0.10 for 3 minutes of talk time.
+ If I wanted to learn about something, I went to the library.
+ In my favorite (or maybe most) movies, there were always people with a cigarette in one hand and booze in the other. And that was COOL at the time.
+ A fist fight would end as soon as one person said "ouch", basically admitting defeat.
+ If I came in from outside too often, Mom would say "Get out and stay out until dinner time!".
+ I could buy a slice of pizza and a soda with $1, and get back $0.25 change, which allowed me to play a game a pinball.
There was more but I lost my chain of thought.

Lets see...
No more people in iron lungs.
Good ol' boys can't beat up their wives, children, ethnics or gays no matter how drunk they are.
Nor can police officers.
They can't even beat up each other (without commenting on whether that is good or not.)
Kids are not allowed much less encouraged to beat up other children as a spectator sport.
Cars have seat belts and no open alcohol.
(Presumably) priests are no longer allowed to abuse children either sexually or physically with impunity.
Kids actually have the real possibility of learning something on their own. If they have the interest the possibility exists that they can at least find out what is involved rather than being entirely reliant on what their parents might know.
They actually understand that children can have mental issues outside of the categories of broken and criminal.
Childhood leukemia is survivable. Probably quite a few others childhood diseases as well.
Really vast array of different types of food and food preparation which is available now and not then. Back then bananas were something that only showed up at certain times of year. In my mothers time even oranges, grapefruit (citrus of any kind) only showed up once a year for a very limited time. I can name ethnic food types that I like and those that I do not like and those were not even in the lexicon of discussion when I was young.

Is being located within the European mainland considered incontinence ?

Here is a random 10 letter word guess "highjacked"

OK - you win!
You're back up tomorrow - so what was it?
The best I could come up with was "BUSHRANGER", but that didn't fit the "abreast their truck" bit.
(Neither did "TAUTOLOGY" which my first thought, but that's only 9 letters anyway)

CONS TIT UTE
I thought 'abreast' was fairly obvious.
Australian flat bed/truck in the US/Bucky in SA, is a Ute, utility vehicle.
Criminals, australia, has a nice connection. Hence Cons.
Anyway, have to think of something else for tomorrow....

I had con or convict but didnt spend enough time on it to get the rest. Good clue though.

It also helps if you give some clue as to what the whole solution means:
Australian criminals abreast their truck were made up. (10) For example.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Exactly what I was thinking
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.

Do you want to go for it tomorrow, or should I?

My clues seem a bit too cryptic, so perhaps you should. Unless you want to struggle again.

Fake news!
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.
