You guys MUST have at least shook your head at times and then took a pic. Come on. Post it.
I wanted to slap that kid silly and then beat his mother to death. And don't tell me he's on the "Autism Spectrum". That's bullshit. Make him enlist if he's a Forrest Gump.

You asked for it:
Around the corner from where I use to live in Downtown Daytona Beach.
Across the street from where I use to live:
Don't even think about going down to the park!
I talked to this fella, he use to be a UCF Professor!
Common sight while traveling along US1.
Then there is the trash....
Shall I go on?

cell phones are like what video games did. made a generation of fat stupid kids.

I had video games, Nintendo came out when I was ten or so, we still played outside and did things like normal kids, but our parents raised us while still disciplining us, not being our friends and trying not to upset us. Video games replaced the parent.

Between the sedentary lifestyle and unlimited calories, this is where we ended up. Most advanced species on earth.

nintendo is a little different than what they have now. i never got into the video gaming or cel-smart phone craze. maybe that is why people tell me i need help.

But Nintendo, etc, that we had was just as awesome to us as new stuff is to them. We hadn't been desensitized by the low quality yet, they don't know what we grew up with.

We're now fully into the phase where kids that had limited accountability are now adults, raising children that have almost no accountability, and are shaping social engineering to make it even worse.. (I'm sorry, 'national conversations' they call it)
Saw a news story where a couple of kids got lunch at school, the cafeteria workers then re-claimed the meals due to parent(s) hadn't kept money in their balance. Kids were embarrassed and now don't want to return to school. Parent wants schools to be more considerate of their kids and not embarrass them. (I'm not a monster, yes it was surely embarrassing).
But the school then details their system, which contacts parents several times before the balance gets low.
Could the school have handled it better? Sure. But...
How do you explain to a parent that won't understand that THEY are the ones that embarrassed their kid, not the school?
Let's bring back *real* lunch money, let the kids learn to fight bullies to keep it, and have them grow up being able to take care of themselves!

i agree and don't forget about the calculator that taught people how to do math without having to think what 2 times 2 was.
Actual picture of my dead crackhead brother returning dishes to my parents. He OD on heroin November 2016. He was 53.

God! That’s rough. That had to break your parent’s hearts. You have my sympathies. I lost a cousin to alcoholism. What really hurt was that he had been out of touch for years, when I finally reconnected with him. A year later he was dead at 66.

Great idea but it probably won’t happen in the near future at least. I just saw an item on tv where the school board in Seattle is set to declare traditional mathematics racist. Math is universal. Its part of everything. If they stop teaching math, what are kids supposed to learn?

Something about giving kids math problems to solve, is imposing white values on them. I guess You’d have to ask the big brains who thought that up though, because I sure don’t know. Just more politically correct bullshit.
