My favorite thing to tell people who are older than me is this: I have never been alive in a time when the internet didn't exist.

Think about that for a moment, and then try to tell me that someday I'm going to realize the same cultural truths as you have.

... you were still just sleeping and pooping.

And weren't those the days?

The Internet has warped your young and impressionable mind.

btw, thanks for depressing me. I was alive before PC's were invented. How do you think that makes me feel?

I remember people had typewriters when I was a kid. We used to have one.

My brother had this brown plastic Donkey Kong game which he never let me play with.

Yea, I brought a typewriter to college with me. It had an automatic white correction strip. I though I was living on the cutting edge.

I actually learned typing at school on an electric Brother typewriter which had a memory inside it. People used to leave poems or obscene messages (or obscene poems) in the typewriter's memory for someone in the next class to discover. The first thing we would do when we sat down was check the memory and see what was there today.

I used to do absolutely no typing work and just think of things to put in the memory, or type letters to my friends. I think I got 12% in my typing exam that year.

That looks like a 1970s one. We didnt have anything like that.

My brother had an ET finger and a Star Wars laser gun. Those were the "in" toys of the times when I was little. He also had A-Team cars and trucks and BA Baraccas doll and the doll of the guy called Hannibal and they would both go in the truck.

I wasnt allowed to touch any of this. But then I did break a lot of things accidentally.

I have a lot of respect for the older systems. Unfortunately I don't have any of the Atari systems but I do have an NES and an original GB.

The key word was "just" sleeping and pooping. I presume you currently do more than just those two activities?

Babies don't just sleep and poop. They eat as well (well drink). And scream. And vomit.

Honestly, they are just disgusting creatures.

And they're useless. It's like, dude, tell me what the hell you need, don't just sit there crying like an *******. And stop shitting yourself. We have toilets for a reason.

Plus, they refuse to get jobs. Like, stop being useless, baby, you're what's destroying America, you dumb ****.

You're right!

Wow.
I cant believe what happened here. Sorry to bring it up again after its died down but this it the first time since last night Ive been able to face coming online.
Spoilered so you dont have to read if you dont want to, I just feel I need to clear my mind on this. If anyone wants to discuss this further PM me, keep it off the boards.

Spoiler

KFL was right, I did not intend people to start jumping in on my behalf nor was I saying anything to START a war. I was extrememly upset because I have put alot of hard work into my garden to attact birds and my dosey neighbours just let their cat wander from morning till night (theyre out 8am till gone 10pm and the cat is out on the street all that time) and seeing it attack birds I had spent all weekend watching build a nest was very distressing for me.
All my life ive been a dog person...my family and people I know are dog people and never have any of the dogs ive ever come across attacked other animals, but in moving to a new build estate where half the people own cats in the short space of time ive been here ive had a number of dead animals left in my garden from the local cats, its hard not to start to dislike them.

I certainly did not want to upset anyone and Im sorry that MLP and Digger felt they needed to leave but IMHO, much worse has happened on here and as far as I remember MLP and I have not had a disagreement before this one(apart from the same discussion about cats another time)

I feel very bad if this is all my fault and all I can say is I am sorry for being upset and possibly should not have posted. At least for a while I dont intend posting in these threads. Im going to stick to vegan/AR threads and the coffee house. If Im still welcome. Thanks for reading.

Havent seen many dogs, foxes or weasels going after birds and mice in my garden, nor pooping in my flowerbeds...

My dogs would.

Seriously though you can feel however you want about cats, since you don't want to harm them. It's how I feel about small children, unless their parents are relatives or friends of mine. Then I can tolerate their offspring.
