If you are 30 or older, you will think this is

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 yada, yada, yada! 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! 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 a 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 a$$ 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 bastards!

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! Oh yea, and a seatbelt was Mom throwing her
arm across your chest every time she hit the brakes.
