If you have a brother who is still in school, are you sure you're old enough to be making "back in my day" posts?
Yes. Times change at a much more accelerated rate these days. A year is like a decade with all the social changes, advances in technology, communication (the internet, MySpace, Facebook and all these social networking sites are mental poison).
10 years ago shit like this would hardly ever happen. Now it happens all the time. My senior year there were half a dozen suicides. Now there's a suicide in the school district at least once a month, kids getting caught with guns and shanks, kids getting arrested for idle threats and for simply giving others stupid looks. I know I'm going off on a bit of a tangent, but this politically correct diatribe is fucking ruining kids. Back in the day my pappy used to beat the shit out of me or make it seem like I was going to get shit kicked, and it kept me straight. Now if a father even raises his hand at his homosexual child when he's putting on make up and pouring his gay heart out in his blog, the father will get reprimanded and served jail time. What kind of bullshit is that?
Kids are exposed to so much violence but the second they touch a hair on another person they get in so much shit. Then we've got emo kids who pent up so much rage and think they have so many complicated feelings that one group eventually goes nuts and fucks up a bunch of kids. All these social cliques but one thing doesn't change, all these kids are over protected pussies with too many rights and too many people safe guarding them. Bah... I'm completely rambling. I don't even understand what I'm saying right now. I need some carbs.
