Those are pretty good LOL.

IMO a huge problem with today's society is that nobody takes the blame for their own actions (i.e. I'm not a bad parent, my kid is ADD/ADHD), and everybody is waaaaaaay too sensitive and overly PC nowadays.

Every single word of that is true is the sad part.
My own situation.
Benson (me) is in a independent film as an extra. The extras are in tactile gear and have air soft guns. A soccer mom gets in her car and drives away.
1957: Soccer mom stops and asks if her son could also be an extra.
2007: Swat Van, 4 Squad Cars, and a SWAT helicopter Raid the park. Benson is in handcuffs for 6 hours and banned from park for life. Benson now how record of trespassing and terroristic actions.

I hate people somedays.

please.... what would you do without ipod, cell phone, awesome honda, or god forbid, the INTERNET?
as technology advances so does the threat. times change but that's a good thing.

ppl are kind of sensitive these days, but i believe that goes with globalization, being that all cultures are exposed to each other in ways never before. It forces us to have to deal with each other and not offend each other.
