I would imagine that, for fairly obvious reasons, having unfettered personal access to this technology has had enormous impact on their collective psyche, what they consider to be "normal" with regard to "decency" etc. And in some ways, if *they* don't see any problem with what they have grown to see as normal, then it is not a problem for *them* - it is instinctive for those older than them to feel bothered by their differing ideas of what "normal" is though and an older persons feelings of ill-ease shouldn't be just automatically ridiculed nor should the older person pretend to themselves they *don't* feel ill at ease. I know for me, as someone in their mid 20s, I actually feel a bit envious of people aged 18/19 now - life seems even more hedonistic nowadays than when I was that age, fashions are more aesthetic, everyone looks better looking etc.

In town today and there were young wans with shirts barely long enough to cover whatever was underneath, now when did wearing what is essentially a bra in public become acceptable? Now I'm not trying to say they should all wear skirts to their ankles but it's gotten out of hand really. At one time it was rare to see women in belly tops but when they cut about with a top that bypasses the midriff and shoulders it's gone a bit far imo. Maybe I'm mad but I think it's horribly unappealing if I met my wife dressed in that manner I wouldn't be married to her no sir. And the young fellas who put their pants in their socks?? The **** is this??? Holy Christmas fashion and style has just gone to the dogs. Young ones wearing half nothing young lads wearing their pants tucked into their socks who in the Christ said "aye this is cool!" WHEN I WAS YOUNG THAT WOULD BE MADE FUN OF I don't know anymore /rant

I wasn't even a wild kid and I was getting holes punched in myself left right and centre, most of the girls I hung around with had sucked dick by about 14 or 15. I was drinking from about 13. Remember a girl in the year above me (2nd year) ended up being carted off in an ambulance from having a bad reaction to some drugs she took at the under age disco. When we all started to go to the over 16s disco (at 14/15) the biggest fear was seeing someone swallow their tongue from taking xtc. In fact I remember a particular scary incident behind the harriers where some young lad was having some sort of seizure from whatever he'd taken and security turning a blind eye. The last night I was at it the drugs squad raided it and it was shut down shortly after that. And let's not forget planet love and gods kitchen. That'd be 10 odd years ago. Kids wore too much makeup, made bad decisions, got the ride at an early age, had access to drugs, thought they were the sh1t in tartan skirts, uggs, fluffy boots, lots of piercings. Mad for the raves. No problem sourcing alcoholic beverages. If young ones prefer spending 50 euro on a foundation or a contour kit and some lipsticks, I'd rather that than a 50bag of Coke from an aul one hanging around the bathrooms.

LexieOnRale wrote: » Where did I mention anything about tattoos? I was a very uncool kid. I got pierced, I drank, and I dyed my hair pinks and purples and cosmic blue on one horrific occasion. I was by no means a wild kid. But that doesn't mean our generation was any better than the young ones now. People are going on like their ruining the world. If anything they're not as much of a dose as we were, as there was no shortage of cash back then.

LexieOnRale wrote: » No I don't, thankfully. Because I never took anything as a kid. I believe now that swallowing your tongue is a myth, but when I was 15/16 it was something that I suppose most people would have heard about. That cousin of a friend of a friend who tried swallow his tongue. I don't know as I never got involved in it. I know what I saw in regards the seizure though.

You can't scratch your ass these days without a picture on feckin' facebook. I remember a thread on here (boards) from a festival with a video, cos someone was drunk and dancing a bit funny (unintentionally). Everyone else was sitting around afraid to move. Seemed like such a waste of time for everyone. Going to a festival, doing nothing, and when someone does start to enjoy themselves, the 'go to' thing is to record it and try and make fun of it for internet likes. Seems a bit sad. That, and I finally got around to seeing Gogglebox for the first time tonight. Whoever watches that, regardless of age, I'll happily agree to meet you and beat you to death with a packet of chocolate digestives. What a load of sh*te, no doubt spurred on by the internet wanna-be-famous crowd :mad:
