As time goes by the world changes, it is an inevitability, unfortunaly my generation is probably the last good one left. At least until everything political, "eats itself then shits itself out and then reats its own self-shit" -- America, The Book.
What I am trying to get to is the fact that kids today are really annoying and parents you are not helping. Maybe what I am getting at is I hate kids (but I don't know) to me problems with kids are all over the place and they are growing up all wrong.
I got to say that the USA has a severe childhood obeisty crisis and this can be stemmed to the fact that sports and physical activiity have taken a back seat to teaching them some BS about not getting bullied and its ok to express your feelings. Not hey your 7 and weigh 120 lbs! Kids are not being taught any bit why it is good to exercise and why your body needs it and so forth, to much focus nowadays, on are they growing up as multi-cultral accepting people and some such nonsense. I can say quite simply it doesn't matter if you accept other people from other backgrounds if you die at 30 because your cholestoral is through the roof. I'm not saying multi-cultralism is bad just there needs to be less focus on it. I hear about it everyday kids are getting fatter, then more schools cut gym and recess out because of lack of budget. Point is in school you are there to learn not only facts about the world and math and history, but about yourself, and how to take care of. Of course schools are practically banning exercise, I have heard of schools having gym classes consisting of cup-stacking rather than a sport. Competitive contact sports have been banned because my kid is the size of a sedan and has sensitive skin and crys when the other kids hit him first in dodgeball. I hate how all the good sports in school have been taken out like the aforementioned dodgeball, other sports have hit the chopping block as well, hockey: cant have a stick touch anyone, soccer: might twist an ankle tackling someone, US football: might make someone loose their balance and fall playing two hand touch, baseball: some kids play this sport competitively and might throw the ball too hard and hit someone, and tag, yes tag, has been banned by some schools because that tag may become a slight push and that could seriously hurt someone mister.
I mean, tag, a game that kept you constantly alert ready to sprint and run and go non-stop until they finally either gave up or tagged someone in the way. I remember my days of playing tag at recess on a playscape jumping off the thing and all over the place running avoiding the person who is going after you. This game has been banned by some schools because little Timmy is a pussy who can't have someone's hand touch them without crying, I mean even at like 5 I could easily take any hearty slap given as a tag from the game.
Of course our view of competition has changed because challenging a kid is bad for his physce or something like that. Competition amongst youngsters now is considered a bunch of 8-year-olds playing M rated video games for hours whilst eating doritos in their air-conditioned basement. Competition isn't like pee-wee football or soccer or tee/baseball, no because these sports require a commitment to a team and a league.
Lets face it as well, kid's TV today is not helping, I remember in my time as a kid watching that show on nickelodeon called GUTS, a show where kids competed to win a prize and have a lot of fun jumping off things and being bungeed back into the air and climbing a mountian faster than everyone else, I remember recreating said mountain climb up the lattice on my back deck while racing my brother and sister. Not racing them around a video game attempting to shoot them with a machine-gun. Now on nickelodeon there is the tween crap, like Zoe 101, "Oh my god that hot guy totally looked at me! he he he he he," thanks for the thought of 12-year-olds dating like 18-year-olds. I mean even the cartoons were better for my generation we had: Rocko's Modern Life, original Rugrats (not the tween crap), Doug, Ren and Stimpy. There were more I can't think of but point is they are better than half the crap out there now.
To conclude kids today are turning out fat, stupid, and spoiled because of the way they are being raised. This includes but is not limited to schools, shifts in activities, and TV. I don't think it is the kids' fault they are so messed up because they can't nurture themselves.
On a final quasi-related note I hate seeing a soccer mom type get out of her SUV with her little six year old bastard-child rolling down the sidewalk on them damn Heelies shoes, I love watching them hit a pebble fall over and break their arms (no lie or exaggeration I've seen it and laughed audibly much to the disgust of the soccer mommy who then used my cell-phone to call 911 and insisted that I appologize to her child who cut me off walking and almost hit me right before he fell).

Hey troll!
While you are being a good boy and noticing 'things'- you might pick up the fact that I actually participated in the dialogue and didn't just stop in to be a pest.
And yes, it IS ironic as I am definitely prone to ramble...especially when highlighting what a retard you are. I know this, which is why I thought I would offer this dude some handy advice in an entertaining sort of way AND leave it open to conversation.
Perhaps you might want to take notes... or you can just continue your lonely path as an annoying, useless, attention whore.
Although your stupidity does keep me fairly well occupied so I guess yer not completely useless...

Bah...fuck that... tell ya what NEXT time remember: simple.
Good points hidden in there amongst all the unnecessary qualification and gratuitous mumbling, not much new, still good on you for bringin' it up. Just because OTHER people have had the audacity to talk about how fucking retarded the world is- doesn't mean it should be talked about- I mean last I checked we were still rather fucked.
Enjoyed the broken arm story. Laughing at other people's pain is bad Karma... but you DID let them use your phone so I think yer ok. I would advise against taking up rollerblading, however.
In General:
Our society is absurd... we tolerate FAR too much and let far too many close-minded assholes legislate their own limited views on morality.
Political Correctness- while fairly genuine and empathetic in its motivation, is often taken to ridiculous and painful extremes.
Parents need to do a much better job. Across the board. I have fantastic parents and I am still a fairly large retard... I know very few people with horrible parents that turned out spectacular. You should have to apply to have kids.
Our entire education system is grossly under-funded, poorly staffed and doing a fucking terrible job actually educating ANYone.
Respect is fleeting in our "youths"... and even when duly earned, rarely given.
