>When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with
>their tedious diatribes about how hard things were
>when they were growing up; what with walking
>twenty-five miles to school every morning ... uphill
>BOTH ways .. yadda, yadda, yadda
>
>And I remember promising myself that when I grew up,
>there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of
>crap like that on kids about how hard I had it and how
>easy they've got it!
>
>But now that... I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I
>can't help but look around and notice the youth of
>today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my
>childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!
>
>And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know
>how good you've got it!
>
>I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet.
>If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the
>damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card
>catalog!! And it never failed--the book or magazine
>you needed was already checked out!
>
>There was no email! ! We had to actually write
>somebody a letter ...with a pen! Then you had to walk
>all the way across the street and put it in the
>mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!
>
>There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal
>music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record store
>and shoplift it yourself! Or you had to wait around
>all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd usually
>talk over the beginning and mess it all up!
>
>
>We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you
>were on the phone and somebody else called they got a
>busy signal, that's it! And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either!
>When the phone rang, you had
>no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom,
>your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a
>collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to
>pick it up and take your chances, mister!
>
>We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games
>with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari
>2600! With games like "Space Invaders" and
>"asteroids" and the graphics sucked! Your guy was a
>little square! You actually had to use your
>imagination! And there were no multiple levels or
>screens, it was just one screen forever! And you
>could never win. The game just kept getting harder and
>harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like
>LIFE!
>
>When you went to the movie theater there no such thing
>as stadium seating! All the seats were the same height!
>If a tall guy or some old broad with a hat sat
>in front of you and you couldn't see, you were just
>screwed!
>
>Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was
>only like 15 channels and there was no onscreen menu
>and no remote control! You had to use a little book
>called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were
>screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to
>get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the
>channel and there was no Cartoon Network either! You
>could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you
>hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for
>cartoons, you spoiled little brats!
>
>And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat
>something up we had to use the stove or go build a
>frigging fire ... imagine that! If we wanted popcorn,
>we had to use that stupid Jiffy Pop thing and shake it
>over the stove forever like an idiot.
>
>That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today
>have got it too easy. You're spoiled!!!!!!!!!
>
>You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980!
