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...
through year 'round blizzards. Carrying their younger >>>siblings on their
backs ... to their one-room schoolhouse, where >>>they >>>maintained a
Straight-A average, despite their full- time, >>>after school job at the
local textile
mill.... where they worked >>>for >>>35 cents an hour just to help keep
their family from starving to >>>death. >>> >>>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!! >>> >>>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 @#*% it all up!
>>> >>>And talk about hardship? You couldn't just download porn. You had
>>>to
>>>steal it from your brother or bribe some homeless dude to buy you >>>a
>>> >>>copy of "Hustler" at the 7-11. Those were your options. >>> >>>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
ass. 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
