How many of you say 'brown bread' when refering to someone as dead?

Dude, where did I say it annoys me? Where did I say people can't have fun with it? I just said that as we get older we usually don't feel the need to join short-lived fads. I didn't say others were wrong for doing so. >What happened in your life to make you this way? Did you forget what being young is like? Why is it that every older generation despises their youngers? You are making a lot of assumptions there. >What happened in your life to make you this way? 'This way' is not what you seem to be assuming. 'This way' is either not noticing youngsters new fads or noticing but not needing to join in. No slight on anyone. It just doesn't affect our lives. Unless our grandchildren participate, in which case we might be mildly amused. >Did you forget what being young is like? Nope. And being older doesn't mean we are curmudgeonly, as you seem to be suggesting. >Why is it that every older generation despises their youngers? Wow, dude. Check your own perceptions there. That's not remotely true. And if you think that 'not getting with the times' about things that are a passing fashion equates to people despising you, then you are the one who needs to 'do better'. Learn not to generalise whole generations. Learn the difference between 'not even noticing what slang the kids are using this year' and 'despising you'. But don't worry, you probably will 'do better' in a few years time.
