When I was a kid adults used to bore me to tears with 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
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've reached the ripe old age of twenty-nine, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so f***' easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a goddamned 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--we wanted to know something, we had to go to the goddamned library and look it up ourselves!

And there was no email! We had ! to actually write somebody a letter--with a pen!--and then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the f***' mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!

And there were no MP3s or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had to go to the goddamned record store and shoplift it yourself! Or we had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and F it all up!

You want to hear about hardship? You couldn't just download porn! You had to bribe some homeless dude to buy you a copy of "Hustler" at the 7-11! It was either
that or beat off to the lingerie section of the JC Penney catalog! Those were your options!

We didn't have fancy shit like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal! And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the the phone rang, you had no idea who it was it could be your boss, your mom, a collections agent, your drug dealer, you didn't know!!! You just had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!

And we didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation videogames 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 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 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! A tall guy sat in front of you, you were screwed! And sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 20 channels and there was no on-screen menu!
You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! Remote, what remote?? You had to get off your fat ass and change the friggin channel!!!

CD's, DVD's, Webcams, Pentium IV. What the F is that...

And there was no Cartoon Network! You could only get cartoons on Saturday morning... ...D'ya hear what the hell I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK, you spoiled little bastards! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy!

You're spoiled, I swear to God! You guys wouldn't last five minutes back in 1980!

I just thought I would die when I saw the year of 1980!!!
Hope your guys have fun with this one! :LOL:
If this kind of thing was posted already forgive me and delete it!

:LOL:


seen that somewhere before... and it's still friggin' hysterical...

That was good, thanks!

I received something like that before, but that was a good one to read.

I know that was supposed to be funny, but it just made me feel really old.
