That looks disgusting. I can't imagine the smell and taste would be conducive to one wanting to eat it.

It wasn't a lot of things. It was one thing: they stuttered.
That is top secret but I don't give a care. Technically I was with the RCMP, not the CIA. So screw 'em.
That was sarcasm? I was really feeling the genuineness and integrity of what you were saying.

I mustuh dun it rawng.
Yeah man, great points there, no doubt about it. Now, who raised those kids, and staffs those schools? Your generation, amigo.
Fair point. Actually, the hippies from the 60s screwed it up for those of us born in the 70s. WE got wuss trained a little bit but my dad would have none of it. That being said, I waited until 40 to have kids and they are being brought up "old school". So by the time the rest of the wussies in their generation figure out what happened my kids will be like GAWDZ! They already look at me in stores and say "What's that punk crying about?" They are 4 and 6.
(Fear not. I kiss booboos and throw the best tea parties ever. It ain't like I'm trying to tun them into lumberjacks.)

Yeah, I could not imagine having kids at the age some of my peers are. I'm twenty-one and people I graduated with are on their second child.
To be honest, I think every generation has animosity about the ones in front and behind them. Times and culture change, and judging other generations by our the standards of our own will always make others look bad. Millenials think that the older people that can't use technology are stupid, Gen X (in my experience) thinks Millenials are whiny, and Baby Boomers think I can pay my way through college with a job flipping burgers. Times change.
yeah,.. if that food is cooked properly you'll lose your fear about what's in it, imo. just imagine eating it half-cooked and cold. 
btw,.. whoever was dissing the Japanese for serving insects,.. they happen to be part of the "staples" in many lands for millions of years, as far i can imagine!

Really? Cuz those high heels hurt my feet! I would LOVE to be able to sport some classy-yet-casual boots to the affair.
My father is 90. He lives on his own: Cooks for himself, drives a car, cleans his apartment, does his own laundry, reads the paper everyday and can carry on a conversation about current events pretty darn well. You get the picture.
I asked him if things were better in the old days. Were people softer and more kind or tougher or...
He replied that without taking into account social advances (we do not have segregated water fountains anymore) people were exactly the same back then. Some were nice and some not so much; some were tough as nails and some felt entitled.
Which leads me to a more important question: What are those mystery green things in the TNC? Do I even want to know?

I sure hope people are a little softer. Humans are by nature a nasty and brutish species, and much of what we do is an effort to improve ourselves in that regard. Mass raping, beheading, drawing/quartering, stoning, slavery, burning at the stake... These reminders of the good old days don't give me the warm fuzzies, and they sure don't make me admire those that practiced them. We need to get more upset by these things than our forefathers did. If we don't, how can things ever get better?
Nope. I grew up somewhe in the middle both in terms of chronology and backbone. I never claimed to be as brave as the greatest generation. But I am certainly not as wussified as what we are cranking out today for the most part.
And no amount of disagreeing on a bass forum is enough to make me "look silly". That's just ridiculous.
You're soft af, otherwise you wouldn't feel the need to talk about it. If you're actually hard, people will be able to tell without you proclaiming it. You're silly.
