yeah, especially those kids in africe with no clean water and whose parents work in slave like conditions, they have it so great nowadays.

and what about here in the west, we still have kids living in poverty too, but hey we all know how a pitance of a wage and barely enough to survive on is living it up on the dole though right?

perspective, sometimes I think most human beings are born incapable of gaining it.

Wow, way to put a dampener on a light-hearted thread...

Back in my day, those kids in Africa with no clean water had parents who worked in slave-like conditions AND the kids worked in slave-like conditions, too.  Those African kids have it so good, nowadays.

sorry, ill just keep saying it in an agressive way and get others to help me gang up on any opposing ideas, then no doubt you will come round to my way of thinking...we wouldnt want anyone to be thinking for themselves now would we? things in the world might actually get better if that happens.

Oh, my god.

Are you serious?

You're being serious.

Oh boohoo, we have air-conditioning (actually my school doesn't) and a better handheld. Our lives are so much better. I mean, it's not like WE'RE not raised by single mothers or are poor. We don't have a lot of stress since there's nothing to worry about.

The frivolous luxuries you described (which is moot if you can't AFFORD it)  make our lives so much easier and we don't have any other turmoil in our lives.

Yeah, it sucks to be a kid 20 years ago.

If you think about it, isn't that probably what people born in the 60's and 70's would say about your childhood, our childhood?(Born in the 80s as well)

Wait a sec...

 

maxxpower?  Are you trying to be me?
