Spoiled brats.
 

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've reached the ripe old age of twenty-five, 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 freakin' 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 damned 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 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 damned record store and shoplift it yourself! Or we had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and mess it all up!

You want to hear about hardship?
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 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 Play station 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 onscreen menu! You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!
And there was no Cartoon Network! You could only get cartoons on Saturday morning... ...D'ya hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK, you spoiled little bast*rds!
That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled, I swear ! You guys wouldn't last five
minutes back in 1984!!!

get a life!

ah stop crying .... :1orglaugh

I remember back in the day video games only had a joystick with one red button, 4 bit graphics, and no memory cards.Now they have rapid turbo fire, 22 buttons, and 10 million colors.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

No offence, but :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Wait till your my age and you will really see how fucked up it is. :1orglaugh

Hell, I didnt have a fucking colored tv till I was 15 and MTV was only videos. I seen the guy walk on the moon and now I find out that shit was fake. Talk about a fucked up childhood. haha

Wait, wait , wait.. LOL I can't stand it. lol 1984? lololololol! Lets say... you guys wouldnt last a day in 1963!

I remember when I was 18 years old and my folks got our first microwave. LOL I was as big as a fucking oven! LOL

Calculaters cost 50.00 to 100.00 and we only have beta video tapes. Video games? LOL Not till like 1978 and then it was pong.. It had sound though. lol

for the record, i didn't write this. it was forwarded to me from my grandmother.

Pong rocks

LOL Whewwwww! You had me worried for a sec. :) I found a list like that awhile back. It was funny to read some of the comparisons. Dude... I rememeber when hand held hair dryers came out.. It was HUGE! LOL

Man.. the stories.. I could go on forever.

Cliff Notes anyone?

Once again, for the record, I'm too young to have written that.

I like those old video games. In some ways they were a lot more fun.

So who wrote it?

dunno... it's an email forward.

This is like the sixth time someone has posted that here. We're going to have to start paying the author royalties.
