Kids today have things we could only DREAM of when i was young.

Almost EVERY kid has a cell phone.
A telephone you can carry around with you??? I never would have believed that when i was a kid.
Yesterday i and my wife stopped at McD's for a fish sandwich.
A teen girl that works there, came racing into the parking lot........dropped her cell phone (which she shouldn't have been yacking on while driving in the FIRST place) her car went airborn, just missing the big McDonald's sign, and landed on the cement support at the bottom of the sign.
Thank God she wasn't hurt, and didn't hurt anyone else.

You mean in the same way that you watched TV and listened to the radio while your 50 year old uncle told you about working on a farm and not being allowed to go to school or so. 😛 This just happens with any generation imo.

As for that girl, that's just stupidity, but I see alot of 40 year olds do the same. That's more just being dumb in most cases.

Oh, and that damn McDonalds. 5,50 Euros for 2 burgers and a small milkshake....

Anyway, back to the Iphone/Ipod. I have to admit that I was tempted to buy one, but I don't like being tied up to monthly payments. Internet, touchscreen etc. is pretty great, but I don't want to get my monthly expenses up for something like that. Those things are pretty damn awesome though....

It's not quite the same Rock.......I wasn't driving a car when my Uncle was telling me about the "old days!"
And yes, i agree. I'm NOT just picking on the kids driving with cell phones, i think it's one of the DUMBEST things you can do, and i also have seen ALL ages do that crap.
I only pointed out the young girl, because of what i saw happen at the time.
I have had adults pull out in front of me, lane change on the freeway......all while caring more about their damn conversation on the phone then paying attention to the road.
My post didn't mean young people only.....sorry if it came across that way....it wasn't meant that way.

Ha, no. It was only about the 'Dream when we where young' part. :p

I mean, you're right about that, but it's the same for every generation, I'm pretty sure that I'll be saying that in 40 years when I see some kid on his floating skateboard.

Yeah.....i know what you mean.
I sounded like some mean old geezer......."I remember back when.....'LOLOLOL!!!

Fact is, kids DON'T realize what they have today. Ipods, cell phones, home computers, video games with unreal graphics.
If you put them back into the 1960's when i was a young kid, they wouldn't know HOW we survived!!!
The old TV show "Star Trek" has Captain Kirk flipping open a comunicator, that looks surprisingly like a flip top cell phone of today! It was "science fiction" back then, reality now!
It just amazes me how much technology has changed in such a short time.

When I was a kid, I had some radioshack walkie talkies with a range of about 50 feet if you stayed away from the power lines, that was my cell phone. I also got the belt from my dad when I was a little shit, spanked with a paddle by my principal in grade school for being bad, bucked hay in the summer to pay for school clothes, there were also no school shootings or twelve year old girls wearing G-strings. It's a different time now and kids are far more disrespectful than ever and get away with a lot more shit these days, I blame society.

It's true..........society has told kids they have lots of "rights!"
They forget to teach that they also have "responsibilities" and to treat others with the same respect they THINK they "deserve."

dfosterf (1h) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (2h) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

Mucky Tundra (11h) : @JoeJHoyt Murphy said he’s been told he won’t slide past pick No. 16.

wpr (18h) : Just about time to watch Sonny Weaver stick it to the seahags. I never get tired of it.

Martha Careful (18h) : *game plan

Martha Careful (19h) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

Mucky Tundra (21h) : is Aiyuk worth a 1st rounder?

Zero2Cool (22h) : 49ers are seeking a 1st round pick in exchange for WR Brandon Aiyuk

Mucky Tundra (22-Apr) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Zach Wilson to Broncos.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Gutekunst says he'd love to have 13 or 14 picks. He's trading back huh lol

beast (22-Apr) : Someday we'll have a draft betting scandal

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.

Zero2Cool (18-Apr) : Packers sign T Andre Dillard.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : Adds most of the information this time of year comes from agents.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : @RealAlexBarth Bill Belichick says accurate draft information doesn't leak from teams until about 12 hours before the draft. Adds most of th
