Speaking of chicken wings, I prefer boneless to bone in. They taste the same, are easier to eat, & you get more meat from boneless than bone in. But if they are bad, they're like a poor man's chicken nugget.

I hate complaints about "kids these days" and "the next generation is doomed" because it happens EVERY SINGLE GENERATION. Every generation of adults starting as early as their teens starts bitching about younger people. Every generation of adults thinks theirs was the last to get it right and the kids coming up now and in the future are f***ed. Everybody thinks like this. You'd think by 2013 we'd realize what a pointless belief it is and how life just keeps going on and changing. Don't get me wrong, I HATE children, but I don't think just because I'm an adult now that my generation of kids were little angels and these kids today are reckless hellions who have everything handed to them. I was like that as a kid, kids I knew were like that, kids like my nephews today are like that, kids are bastards. It's not a generational thing. Kids are, will be and always have been assholes. Not every child of course but childhood in general is littered with selfishness and sociopathy. Kids don't know better yet. I was an asshole as a kid, you were an asshole as a kid, kids today are assholes, it's not a generational thing, it's a kid thing. I'm still a childish prick and I'm nearly 30. I'm at least leagues better than I used to be. Mostly. Kind of. The point is kids are assholes and that's it, they always have been and always will be. It has nothing to do with what generation they're brought up in. The assholery will vary depending on the generation but it will still be assholery. I did shit as a kid kids today couldn't do because of Youtube and hidden cameras and everything. Kids will be bastards however their time period allows. When these kids grow up they'll repeat our mistakes and bitch about their kids, who'll complain about their kids, who'll complain about their kids and so on and suchforth until the sun blows up and we're all dead. Oh my gosh, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THIS is by far one of the most annoying attitudes on the Internet I've seen if not THE most. God bless you my good sir.

Football sucks. So little of it is actually playing the game. Instead they take so much time setting things up to only play for a few seconds at a time. It's ridiculous that it can take over 5 minutes to get through :30 on the clock. I'm with you, man. I just don't get it. Throw Catch Tackle 5 Minutes of commercials Repeat for 4 hours

People who complain about other people's kids and other people's parenting give me the distinct impression that the closest they've been to a kid (since their own childhood) is sitting eight rows away from one on a plane and complaining throughout the flight about the kid, without realizing that the kid stopped talking hours ago.
People who publicly complain about kids' behavior are a huge part of the problem, as they often shame parents into giving in to their kids just so they don't have to endure the judgmental yet clueless complainers. It's next to impossible to enforce consistent expectations and consequences when the well-intentioned parent has to listen to "I can't believe he/she lets his/her kid act that way."

Eh, you could say the same thing about people obsessing over millionaires playing a guitar and singing into a microphone or saying lines they didn't write on a screen that gives the illusion of motion.

One of my best friends is a teacher, and his stories about parents and their parenting would make your head explode. A lot refuse to accept that their kid is failing, others refuse to accept their child is a bully, some have demanded that other kids not be allowed to eat certain lunches, because their child doesn't like the smell, and some have even refused to admit that their children have learning disabilities, and fight to push the kid into certain advanced classes regardless of the truth, wherein said child doesn't fit in and is constantly humiliated. A lot of parents SUCK. And a lot of kids ARE spoiled and entitled. And the way these types of parents raise their kids --as ideal, perfect accessories-- deserves ridicule and criticism.

I think that everyone needs to take at least one good asskicking in their life for something terrible they've said. Everyone says something terrible and selfish at least once, and direct, physical consequences make you really think twice about how you act to people around you.

To lighten the mood a bit,
I consider myself one of the bigger KISS fans on this board....but I absolutely despise and detest the piece of human garbage called Gene Simmons.

It's next to impossible to enforce consistent expectations and consequences when the well-intentioned parent has to listen to "I can't believe he/she lets his/her kid act that way." Agreed. This is also something very annoying I hear about around the Web. No, parents shouldn't let children create a big scene or make a huge mess. But just because a baby or child cries that doesn't mean the parents in question are bad parents. Kids cry, babies especially cry. The only real time you can comfort them into not crying is when they're still an infant. Once they're two years old, they're going to scream. And also, sometimes the parents have already exhausted every other option in finding out what the problem is. There are some children you have no choice but to let them cry and let it out. If there is someone who is that annoyed just by a baby crying, maybe they can take up babysitting and see how easy it really is to calm a child down. Parent-shaming needs to STOP.

I don't care how well they get paid or how great their pension is (Canadian teachers, I'm talking about), they're basically glorified baby sitters and it actually gets worse the older your students are.

On an unrelated note, I'm glad I.started this thread. I'm a very opinionated person, & it feels good to get some of this stuff off my chest. The thread has remained civil, (knock on wood) & it seems like everyone is enjoying themselves here, if you can even say that about a thread like this. There are over 130 posts so far, & I hope to see at least that many more! Bravo FAN for a job well done so far! Pat yourselves on the back, you deserve it! Yeah... about that. I'm locking this thread in a few minutes because I am OFFENDED by the lack of name-calling and rock-throwing in this thread. OFFENDED, I say! Anyway... hm, I'd have to agree that the kids being coddled with the participation thing is a bad idea. I for one hate losing... that's why I try my hardest to win all the time. Like... the participation thing is one hell of an unfair way of attempting fairness.

The Atari Jaguar isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. I mean, it's not a great console by any stretch of the imagination but I bought one a couple years ago and I honestly think it's just kind of okay. Some games are bad and a few are good. It's just not a memorable or particularly noteworthy console, not neccesarily a bad one. I haven't wasted the money on the CD add-on yet though.

It combines the physicality of football with the faster pace of soccer and basketball. You're a good man. You're already going against the grain (in the US at least by being a fan). Anyways, my contribution to this thread would be the "customer is always right" idea. More often than not, this should be the case. However, b some people just use this policy as a means to abuse employees despite their own stupidity getting in the way of them seeing that the employee actually has a point and that sometimes nothing can really be done about their situation.

However, b some people just use this policy as a means to abuse employees despite their own stupidity getting in the way of them seeing that the employee actually has a point and that sometimes nothing can really be done about their situation. There was this one shady couple that used to order delivery from the restaurant where I work. When I would get to their house, they would say something like "Oh, I cancelled the order.". Alright, fair enough. The shady thing was they would call the restaurant 10 or so minutes later complaining that their food had not arrived, and they were upset about how long they had to wait. The first time this happened we were SUPER BUSY and, against our better judgment, we went ahead and gave them the benefit of the doubt and they succeeded in getting free food. But you see...THEY KEPT TRYING TO DO THIS. It got so bad that we just stopped delivering to them entirely, which upset them so much they felt the need to drive to the restaurant, make this huge scene in front of other customers, and then accuse my manager of being racist. Customers. Yikes.
