Holy cow Wutzupp. I totally played my Atari 2600 for hours. I was part of the Activision club. I know, I'm a dork. I had high scores on everything. I was so d*amn competitive with that stuff. I've always been competitive though. I would play until my hand started cramping. That wasn't too hard to do. MY hands were smaller then and those joysticks weren't exactly ergonomical. And yeah you're probably right about the new generation. There's good and bad, but there is something to be said about a generation bringing guns to school -- and using them. I don't have kids yet either, and I'm kinda scared to. Especially with where this loser in the White House is taking this country. Have you ever witnessed such an unintellectual president in your life? Oops. I better not go on a political rant. Sorry. Yes, ONE of our major societal problems is that nobody is responsible for anything. Accountability is a word you rarely hear. I'm not quite sure when that started. It may have stemmed from the way our country has become so feminized. (Thanks Oprah) Kids get awards at school and in athletics even when they lose so their feelings don't get hurt. It's ridiculous. We're raising a bunch of wimpy, lazy kids. I know when we lost our little league baseball games it was pretty much tough sh*t . Everyone is so sensitive and so easily offended. We need to go back to where our gender roles are defined. It 's OK to say men are better than women at certain things and women are better than men at others. We don't have to be equal at everything. If you say a man is better than a woman at something, you're a shovenist. If you say a woman is better than a man at something, you're applauded. Our stereotypical roles have eroded, and I believe that is part of the reason the American family has eroded with it. Not to mention the divorce rate going through the roof. OK. I'll shut up now.
