dad gay. so what posted:

i wonder what would happen if we just started over. like just throw this gen in the trash and give all the parents their money back.

a million overweight balding men near death would buy sports cars they barely fit in to try and date the millennials they cant find because you deleted them all, and then they'd use their cell phones equally as often as the millennials to desperately text their wives they left begging them to come back

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

Usually when this is mindlessly pasted in lieu of thought, it gets credited to Socrates or Plato. Nice work on going the extra mile.

U should have told time magazine

Also think about how much fun it would be to hang with the kind of self-editorial person who says "I just weep for my generation"

Well I for one think this "reading and writing" thing has gone too far. Why bother remembering anything for yourself if you can just look it up? Books are destroying our memory!

In fact all technology is making us soft. If you don't live naked in a cave and eat only plants you've foraged and animals you've killed with your bare hands you're a weak little pussy
