I’ve got to get this off my chest. You know what bugs me? People who live like the world hasn’t changed since they grew up.
Reverend Wright is convinced that this country is as racist as it was in the 60’s.
Some dopers are convinced that the B.A educated police today are of the same make as the hippie-beating police of the 70’s.
My criminal justice professor can’t get his mind around the fact that watching copyrighted videos on YouTube is not considered amoral, as would have been the case with tape swapping in the 80’s.
I have trouble seeing why anyone would need facebook/myspace when we have this great message board technology from the 90’s.
Stupid people and their “I’m going to keep my world outlook the same as it was in the decade I graduated high school” mentality… grumbles
There’s one way the world hasn’t changed. It’s still the 90s. It’s …the 80s, 90s, 10s, 20s, 30s…
Mark my words: people will look back on this decade (2000 - 2010, for good measure) and say “what the hell was that all about”. The 00s. Just a black hole.
Well, if you make your profile private, you won’t get that. At worst, you just get “friend requests” from fake accounts, but this has died down a lot recently, at least for me.
You may be pleased to know that I personally had a growing spell when I realized that some females might actually enjoy the sex act known as “getting a facial”. Just because I wouldn’t was immaterial. It was quite a mind bender.
“Section 8. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States;
[…]
To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries;”
Your professor might also be having a difficult time adjusting because the Constitution, quoted above, has also still not accepted this change.
