As I said to some one the other day, "If this is war no smoking regulations. SWmoke 'em if nyou've got 'em."

DCF.

Fuck that noise. If this is war it means I get to blow your stupid ass away if you blow smoke in my direction.

If you guys are going to restate old ideas at least add something to them. I prefer the old Far Side cartoon : two men in a boat fishing, mushroom clouds in the distance : You know what this means? Yeah, no more limits and screw the size restrictions. Or somehing to that effect.

May belched:

I wonder if the GenXers (and younger) will be taking out their nose rings, tongue studs, and other bits of metal stuck through their bodies, primitive-style. (And not just so they can pass through metal detectors...)

Old is new.

Fuck that shit too -- you really are showing your age, aren't you old folks? You got a problem with archaic revival? As this little ditty plays out, you will see (if you survive at all in your solitude, which isn't too likely) that "society" will re-group into tribes (what you call gangs, old man) and all that jive will be everywhere for tribal identification, rank, or just plain beauty.

New is old. Conrgatulations. You have predicted what already IS. You have overlooked the all too obvious fact that society is already grouped into tribes complete with a host of primitive behaviors.

Where do you people get this weird crap from anyway?

Does it matter?
