Youth today have got so good.........

[oohcow]

haha i'm in the under 25 older than 18 club and I have to say.

I cannot live for the life of me...without 1. the internet, 2. my cellphone with unlimited text messaging and picture messaging... these 2 things... if they didn't exist... I would along with them cease to exist..

YOU OLD FARTS ARE ALL RIGHT! I wouldn't have survived a day in the 1980s... TRUTH one hundred percent.. and you know i'm glad i'm living in this age...

Fact: I once broke my cellphone and my replacement took 5 days to come. For those 5 days... I COULDN'T DO SHIT. It's all stored in my cellphone all my numbers and friends! I don't memorize ANYTHING! NEEDLESS to say I was completely screwed and wanted to die for those 5 days... the most horrible agonizing BORING days of my life.

I'm over 50 and just pleased I could make it this far, this has
made me a member of the 'quit yer bitchin', pass the fuckin'
joint, & be happy for where you are in life' club.

Be glad it was our own contemporaries that invented the computer,
micro chips, internet etc....... Imagine if this tech was owed to the
brilliance of some child geniuses, that'd suck! Yeah now it's easy for
them/us to use it in every day life, I for one am extremely pleased by
all of this 'availablity'.......

I'm sure the youth of today will think that their kids have it too good.
They will will bug their parents for spring break trips to the moon.
They will wonder why people used to smoke pot, when you can buy dopamine, endorphins and various neuro-transmitters over the counter.
And for the "can't get laid crowd," there will be custon made or off the rack fully life like sex-bots.

Well, I took this as light hearted humor, and thought it was funny as hell. Take care... BC

what the hell is wrong with you man? Do you ever go camping or hiking?? Just the past weekend I just got the tent set up fucking miles from civilization, and my fucking phone rang, i was sooooo fucking angry i didnt turn it off right when I got there and leave it in the car like i normally do... definitely need it with my shitty car, or rather its great to have, but not when i am camping. I can't imagine how many people cringed in the fucking camp ground when they heard that annoying ring, i still feel guilty about having it on and it ringing at nearly 9pm.

Seriously, are you female or something? Either that or you just turned 18... that has got to be it, cause i actually went with a chic a few years younger than me, but still old enough to drink and she left her phone in the car the whole time.

And now that you old farts fucked up the economy us young whipper snappers cant get a job....
No factory is going to hire me in at 20+ an hour...

edit: And you guys all did that on you high school diplomas...
Now we got to go get Bachelors degrees just to be able to get more than minimum wage

 

[Stoner4Life]

btw,
the legacy of war, distrust, meddling, the technologies
of WMDs and the most uncertain future we leave behind
far surpass any warm cushy ways they have to be envious of.......

It's called Globalization.

 

[zeeba amoeba]

wow... all i can say is you're special... and i am nearly 25. We all have it soo fucking well cause technology has adapted to the times? Are you serious? Is that your complaint? Really? The video games are cooler now than they were 20 years ago? Seriously captain obvious?

eyes you couldn't have said it better, the only people i ever see that say kids today have it better are severely demented old people. Kids today are fucked royally imo, they are protected from everything, *this is not a good thing. I would not be suprised it we didnt start making playgrounds with rounded corners, and wrapping the kids in bubble wrap. Those little snowflakes are going to get a shocking dose of real world when they turn 18 or graduate high school.

yeah my momma would not let me play with toy guns!

So the first thing I did when I moved out is buy a .45 !

I dont really see the advantage to living today aside from medical technology. And if your in the states good luck finding that as something like half the employers dont even offer it anymore. Its frenzied and dont really like it, were expected to live work and breath as fast and efficiently as possible, just like these computers which seem to be the driving force behind it all. And industry which seemed to start leaping over the power of the people since nixon and ESPECIALLY raygun onward. I dont want to be contacted at anytime anywhere sometimes. Everybody is an asshole on the road now. Everybody has to win some elusive prize....ooh you took off faster than me from the light...whatever. Its the same fucking thing in grocery stores. christ if i was 80 I wouldnt shop till 2 in the morning cuz everyone would be glaring at me. and smashing into my cart. And well space invaders, defender, ms pacman, asteroids were the shit when they were lining the arcades on every other street corner.

those amish dudes have it figured out.

 

[pseudostelariae]

its not so great..a lot of us have realized we are being shuffled into a machine and there is little we can do about it. many of us are being forced to become debt slaves because of how the system works .

 

[SemperAltus]

well i def. dont think we have it easier... that being said id rather live back in the days of my mom... back then you would have a beef you would box, you won you got bragging rights, you lost you got knocked out... noone would pull a knife and gun out... and if you fought at school it got broken up and you went back to class... not like these days when you got a problem you get arrested and charged with assault...

ugh...

 

[VanillaGueriila]

Couldnt agree more semper, how about obnoxious flirting with girls and catchin harassment charges. Unfortunately a lot of todays youth doesnt make it through middle school without a criminal charge, and we all know what happens once your in the system.

 

[hunt4genetics]

Hey "The greatest generation" wanna know what you were fighting for,

tune into MTV's "My Sweet 16."


Spoiled kid: Mom! you dumb cow! I said i wanted a black Hummer, not a yellow one!
I hate you! I'm so outta here when I turn 18!

i think it is not important how old you are now.....this is not about ''young, dumb and full of cum''....vs. ''old farts''

the reality is we are here in this moment together...young, old, middle aged

when i was ten years old and moved with my parents from a soviet block country to miami, florida in 1980......it was like heaven

the most beautiful place i could imagine to ever live

ocean, palm trees, awesome climate, women half naked....yes even at ten i really liked chicks...lmao

and when i was 11 asteroids...atari....came out...then pac man...and galaxian...we'd play a few hours and then go outside...run around and play...different sports..etc

me and my friend when i was 13 started getting high off his mom's weed in 1983 (she was a major pothead and head loads of weed hidden all over her bedroom)....and we were always riding around on our bmx's after toking...not sitting on our asses

we never had problems with being fat....and i don't remember any of my friends being fat at that time

but now....wtf....fat people everywhere....i mean really fat, and so many...all ages from like 5 years old to senior citizens

so in the end....what i want to say....even though technology is really speeding ahead...the human race is getting unhealthier by the hour....and the consenquences are going to be devastating for the masses

imo...there is nothing more important than health....because if you are not healthy....the reality is everything else loses its value and doesn't seem that important...when you feel like shit...the world seems shitty around you...doesnt it?

so if your health is not one of the most important things in your life......in the end you will end up one unhappy....unhealthy....sad...mofo...and no technology will help that

maybe it can fix you up a little....but technology can't *create health*

only doing something everyday...eating right, working out regularly, doing cardio regularly, etc.....can create health

so in the end maybe some things are easier today......but staying healthy has become a lot harder...since we sit on our butts...and eat lots of fast food...which is very low quality...processed junk......and don't get out that much and move around like in the past

so my suggestion....smoke a fat one....and go run around the block...lmao


by the way this is where i like to run personally...lmao

This thread made me think of this:

Google "the four yorkshiremen" on youtube or something...python does it so well, much funnier to listen than to read.

 

[southflorida]

saibai.....that about sums it up...lmao

"Early to finish, I was late to start
I might be an adult, but I'm a minor at heart
Go to college, be a man, what's the fucking deal?
It's not how old I am, it's how old I feel"

Im torn on the subject as I am youthful sprirt in an aging body

The youth of today are inheriting a planet in chaos and are being preyed upon by corporat greed.

And for all the callamity they live at the dawn of time where the human race is evolving to leave the planet and popualte the solar system if it is to survive

Tehcnology is changing us and soon technology and people will be integrated


**** Deep Thought coming up right here, made it up on my own ****

I think technology will eventually MAKE US RELIANT ON SOCIETY for our individual survival. Society itself will evolve into a species, and the individual humans that create this new species will be more like cells in a body than individual creatures


***** puffs & passes to the right *****

I absolutely HATE cellphones. I think they are demon spawned. Of course I own one but its for my convenience and not for everyone else's. Text messaging is cool as I can relay some bit of information and not have to go through the whole "what are you doing?" routine.
I have gotten up and walked out on people that insisted on answering their phones while I was having a conversation with them. My take is that I went to the trouble of being face to face, I should take precedence and the caller can wait. If its an emergency, then thats another story, but 99.999% its the "what are you doing?" routine.
Screw that, its not a time saver, its a time waster.
