But Nazis are no longer a threat, and terrorists are very much a threat, so I can understand why someone born 20 years ago is more worried about terrorists. It's like comparing the best song from 1945 vs. 2005. Hard to do.

Well YOU know that, and *I* know that, but that doesn't mean that some 20-year-old kid will be able to properly compare that to today's tunes.

Not an incredible amount. Which is why I'm so strict with my savings.

What a great example of why Keith is skeptical of opinions from younger people. This guy is an idiot and a loudmouth, and apparently an irresponsible individual. I'm 20, and I have more money than this moron, guaranteed. And I made it by working for $9 an hour.

i would imagine he is skeptical of the opinions of younger people because they make statements like this one ^.

Some clarification would be nice. Are you busting on my job? Busting on my spending habits? Saying I am making an inaccurate appraisal?

you cant think of one reason, maybe even remotely, why what you wrote would come across douchey?

do some soul searching, answer the question for yourself, fuck me, and then and only then will you have made progress.

Perhaps we need to strap them down and educate them?




Any volunteers?

I was addressing a skeptical attitude towards the ability of younger people to have reasonable opinions. You said I was wrong on that account. Now you say it is tone. Those are two different things. I will readily admit I am douchey. That's not the same as being wrong or arriving at flawed conclusions. You are not criticizing how wrong or right I am on something, or my stance on something, just how it comes across.

But this guy is talking about shortchanging waiters because he doesn't have the money, and I'm the asshole? Okay then. Good to know. Evidently I'm a douche for saying there is no excuse for not tipping 20%, because I have the money to do it, and I make shit. I freely embrace my cleansing properties, then.

Roxy could help out too, lest the image of DJTrashy and myself frighten too many people away. I'm sure seeing Sully seated quietly in the inky shadows of the indoctrination room would be a calming influence as well.
