Back in my day...

Why do people over the age of 40 insist on using, at least once per conversation, the term "back in my day..."? Alright, we get it. Back in "your day", there were no rapes, murders, sexual deviants, mentally disturbed people, alcoholism, drugs, terrorists, robberies, black people, gays, killer diseases, etc. Also, they used to have: responsibilities, enthusiasm, manual labour skills, a head on their shoulders, 10 summer jobs, 10 siblings, 5 penises, a good education system, a good health system, honest politicians, more religious affiliations, proper punishment and control, manners, no "poisonous" television, extracurricular activities, pride, community involvement, the will to live, etc. I'm so fucking sick and tired of hearing all this bullshit.

Listen up, old people. Shut up with your fucking conservative values. Most of what you cite "used to be" actually wasn't as great as you thought it was. Just because you don't understand the world today doesn't mean it was better when you were young. You were naive and innocent, but bad shit still went on. The world probably isn't any better or worse than it used to be, just different. There's a word for it: progression. Stop looking down at us as if we were a bunch of maggots polluting your air. There were just as many problems back when you were young, and you were just either not aware of it because the media wasn't as interconnected and efficient as it is today, or you were a naive kid. Either way, shut the fuck up with all your conservative views. Sure there are things wrong today, but this is how society works. If we want to live collectively, understanding the concept of limited ressources, we can never please everyone and there will always be social problems. If you're not happy, just shoot yourself in the mouth or develop a time machine.
