Who are you talking to; and of what are you talking about.
I'll play along...
I know what you mean. When we were in school, we got to make silly putty and watch things change colors in beakers.
Today's kids are way too spoiled with their fancy gizmos and ipods and small big brained computers. They get to see how easily they can get through school by downloading crap from the internet. We had to work for our grades and we didn’t get to listen to fancy music or watch flash animations while we were studying; and we liked it that way!
These darn kids! I say that they're the science experiment and they are the monkeys of their time. The get pushed and poked with today’s media so much that they don't even know who they are or what it means to be a person. It’s all about me me me and I'm ok; what I believe may not be right for you, but its ok for me crap!@
You hit the nail on the proverbial head on this one. Maybe of all bloggers started thinking like you, these darn kids would shut up and listen to reason.
Hmmm Well My stoned friend maybe if we had better technology when we were in school you would know how to click on a link. Or maybe I would know I have to include the link for anyone to be able to click on it and know what in the world I am talking about.
Well, I was just joking around (the link wasn't provided when I commented on Alex's blogg) Ironically, I got this forward today (I hope I never whear my pants at chest level and yell at fat kids for not playing outside; but who knows, that might be fun when I'm old and crusty):
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Play stations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no text messaging, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.
We played with worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays,
made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!
And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.
And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!
PS -The big type is because your eyes are shot at your age
WHAT?!?!? EH!??!? SPEAK UP, BOY! NOT EVERYONE HAS FULL [PHFFFPFT] USE OF THEIR FACILITIES YOU KNOW! AND NOW IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME I'M GOING TO GO CRAP MYSELF.
I am a father of two, a husband, an employee but most importantly a pilgram. I am conservative in theology, Moderate in style and liberal in Love. I beleive in personal responsibility, the church being the social service arm of society instead of government. I believe in books, front porches, the exchange of ideas and the freedom to disagree.

Not Sure My reply came across in the Sarcastic non offended humorous way it was intended.
