If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!
  
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 five miles to school every morning 
...uphill...barefoot...BOTH ways...Yadda, yadda, yadda.
 
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'm over the ripe old age of 
Thirty, 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 damn 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 damn library and
look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!! 
There was no e-mail!! We had to actually write somebody a letter with a pen! 
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!
 
There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to 
steal music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record store
and shoplift it yourself! 
Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio
and the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! 
 
We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you
were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy
signal...that's it!
 
And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! 
When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could
be your school, your Mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a
collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your
chances, darlings! 
 
We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video
games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600 with games
Like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your guy was a little square! You 
actually 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 harder and
faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE! 
 
 
You had to use a Little book called a TV Guide to find out
what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! 

You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change

the channel and there was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons
On Saturday morning when your Mom was insisting you help clean the house!.

Do you Hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK
For cartoons!
 
And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat
something up we had to use the stove...imagine that! 
That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids
today have got it too easy.  You're spoiled!
You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980!

p.s. We must all apologize for making all this "spoiledness" possible.
