You kids today wouldn\'t last five minutes back in 1984!!

Here\'s a little email I just got and I thought it was kinda funny and thought you guys would enjoy it...

This is Funny,Sad,but very true.........



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-nine, I can\'t help but
look around and notice the youth of today.
You\'ve got it so ****in\' easy!
I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in 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--we wanted to know something, we had to go to the stinking
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 ****in\' 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 damn record store and shoplift it
yourself! Or we had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the
DJ\'d usually talk over the beginning and screw it all up!
You want to hear about hardship?
You couldn\'t just download porn! You had to bribe some homeless dude to buy
you a copy of "Hustler" at the 7-11! It was either that or peep at the
lingerie section of the JC Penney catalog!
Those were your options!
We didn\'t have fancy crap 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, asshole!
And we didn\'t have any fancy Sony Playstation
videogames 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 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 was 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... ...Ya hear what I\'m saying? We had to wait ALL WEEK, you
spoiled little bastards!
That\'s exactly what I\'m talking about! You kids today have got it too easy
You\'re spoiled, I swear to God! You guys wouldn\'t last five minutes back in
1984 !

I read the first 2 sentances and got bored.

Yeah... thats why it\'s 2003 numnuts...

1980\'s were cool, but people back then were fags.

I remember having to constantly get up to change the channel for my dad.  Damn, that bastard.  Although I make Bog Log throw stuff away for me.  What comes around goes around I guess.


Oh yeah, and what about dialing the freaking phone?  No more circular dial phones.  Not only was it a pain on the fingers, but I never could ever dial correctly the first time.  It was a pain in the ass.  You touch tone kids are losers.

And if you missed a show it was gone.  No TiVo, no VCR.  No nothing.

And one other thing.  How many of you have never even seen the ABC Wide World of Sports open?

you bunch of losers with your jackass and tom green shit.

preach on pops.

Too late, this youngin has already lived 5 minutes in 1984

I was born in late 86 so I only experienced 3 years of the 80s. Good times those first 3 years of my life.

I was born in 76 so i lived through the 80\'s I was in elementary school in the 80\'s (it has been a long time.............) my 10 year class reunion is next year.....sad...........and me with no GF..........LIFE SUX!

:hat:ScottyJ:hat:

[Titan]

80s IMO, had the best cartoons I\'ve ever seen. I wish I can go and relive the 80s. I wish I was born earlier.

I survived through 84.  I may not have been old enough to remember it, but I survived.  And yeah, people like that complain too much.

[Cerberus]

I feel old.

I\'m the same age as luckee and totally agree with everything he say\'s.

You "Lucky Lucky Bastards"

The fact that some of you weren\'t even born when I graduated HS makes me sick. The only solace I have its that you will all get old eventually.

I was 9 years old in 1984, and things have changed. Kids today don\'t walk to school anymore, they all get a lift in their parents cars and JAM UP THE ROADS SO I AM LATE FOR WORK!!!!!

In my day we didn\'t have any DVDs or VCRs or cable television!  We had to ride our bicycles through the blazing arizona sun to the Cine Capri theater to see "The Empire Strikes Back."  We got dehydrated during the ride, and ended up puking behind the seats in the theater.  (Well, I did anyway).

We didn\'t have any home videogames worth a damn; just "PONG" or an Atari 2600 IF YOU WERE LUCKY!  The rich kids had an Intellivision.  Everyone else had to save the money from their paper route so they could pour quarters into the Defender machine at the 7-11.  Also, just like he was saying, you can never win it; it just keeps getting harder and harder until you die, just like life!
