Things are changing

AZ200cc · 08-24-2010, 02:25 PM

I was reading an article about modern kids, They said there are things they have never seen or used. They have never used a phone with a cord on it, None knew Clint Eastwood used to killl everyone in site on horseback. It got me thinking....A lot of good stuff that they will never know.

Saturday morning cartoons
Theme songs for tv shows
Good cereals that had sugar in em
Playing outdoors because nothing was on tv
A life without wearing full body armor to ride a bicycle.

Did I forget anything???????

getting into a fight, and not pulling a weapon.

kids these days talk all the shit in the world but the second you step up and try to fight them like a real man, they pull a gun or a knife. they think they are bad ass but they are scared little kids who are scared of taking a beating..
