I'll always respect my 'elders'. I respect pretty much anybody who doesn't act like a tool. That's why I get along so well with the 6 other 40-somethings that I work with. I can respect them as people, and leave their views alone, but I'll always think of them as old fashioned (doesn't help that, by coincidence, they seem to all be Lutheren).And, even at 22, I can feel it happening to myself. 2 years ago, I could stand MTV occasionally. I am this close (appropriate hand motions) to taking it off of my favorites on the ol cable box. Just doesn't offer me anything anymore but Jackass. I listen to most of the music that has videos on the station, but it drives me nuts. I think that the people working on the shows are probably completely nuts. I don't know if there was a massive change over the last 2 years in format, or if I've changed. I don't care and I'm prepared to sit on the porch swing with the double barrel about it. I hope you aren't hitting a midlife crisis, Wolfguard. it's a bit early... as I'd like to see you live past 70.

Jesus Christ, Wolfguard, how the hell did we survive as kids!!! Swing sets mounted on concrete slabs (The thumping noise you hear is your skull as it bounces off the concrete.) Metal slides that got so hot in the sun that you would leave a streak of skin as you slid down if you were wearing shorts. Bike helmets? We don' need no stinking bike helmets!!! Electric race tracks that produced enough voltage to jump start a Volvo in the middle of winter. If all that was bad for us why is society so much more fucked up now that Matel is a "kinder and gentler" toy company? And all those toys of death and demise just served to toughen us up, what chance does a generation have without all that?I do have to agree with Kuru on a point though. Although, I do understand what you are taking about with "Sir, Maam" I don't think age should have anything to do with it. Respect should be earned, not expected. The old guy on his porch, throwing rocks at kids as they walk by yelling "Stay of my lawn you little bastards!" should probably not expect a "Yes, Sir!" response. ------------------
