With the evolution of the internet, social media, and a non-stop thirst for "news", just about anything that may interest anybody gets reported these days, especially negative, or controversial "news." 2 hours ago, BinaryData said: My mom said something similar to me one day when I went through the rage fest of gaming.

No joke. The last 2 gens have devolved into self-entitled jerks. You realize that the previous generations said the same crap about your generation ? You and your time were nothing special.

No the new Haley s are not like they once were. When I lived in Phoenix I saw a Harley rider destroying his own AMF Hayley right on the corner of 19Th Ave and Northern, I wish I had a camera. But the new ones are better but they cost way too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted May 23, 2016 Subscriber² Share Posted May 23, 2016 Well I meant that the quality of them has gotten 1000% better than when AMF owned Harley, I used to Ride a Kawasaki 550 LTD and it was a neat bike. I sold it when I moved to Detroit for work. I knew it would not be safe to ride there. One needs an armored vehicle today/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astra.Xtreme Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Not denying that kids are more unstable these days, but part of it is probably that media is instantly available to the entire world. Somebody can't p*ss in the street without somebody recording it on their phone and putting it on Youtube 3 minutes later. And I don't think the news stations back then were as obsessed with racial issues and violence like they are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conna Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 This is why participation trophies were a bad idea. Poor gen Y. Didn't get what he wanted so he throws a tantrum. Stepdad shoulda beat his ass and threw him out. Probably a freeloader bum still living with mommy because too stupid and spoiled to live as an adult.
