You literally just proved his point. EVERY generation says that about the younger generation, its been going on since humans could speak
That is a terrible example to even in support of your argument. Understanding your physical place in real space and navigating and building a mental map of your locale is __essential__ human traites that are lost now. When applied to driving a car, it translates to parrallel parking, and when applied to finding a resturant across town, it is applied to reading a map. And that doesn't even include the inability to make change in a cash register or knowing whether or not if you go correct change, or the ability to write a note or a letter with a pen. Without these skills and excersizing these fundemental human capicities, one is completely trapped by a small computer that is designed from the ground up to track you every movement, and to control your emotional state. This not only affects coin collecting, but it has eroded every aspect of society and the very being of human existence.
No they don't. Your substituting substantial discussion with a mantra, and one that is not even remotely true. If anything it has been quite the opposite and we have been optimistic about youth, and the future, until now. Not many kids swing basbeall bats today, either, or can catcfh a pop fly.
Dont have a clue how old you are but you just proved your not someone who should be listened too. It’s the tale as old as time blah blah blah was better in my day. PS baseball has NEVER had more talent on the field then it does now but sure go on
I haven't had to do any service on my cars since I was in college in 1970-1975. I drove a 1956 Ford 4-Door Sedan. I inherited it from my older sister. I gave her $50. First thing I had to do was replace the water pump. If there was service work or repairs and I couldn't figure out how to do it, I went to an old service station down the road. He would tell me how to do what I needed to do. He told me that if I don't fix it, I didn't need to own or drive a car. Just about when I learned how to fix my Ford, I got drafted and gave my car to my brother (for $50, of course). All my vehicles now are Toyotas, Most of my work is done by the dealership. I promised myself that if I ever got the money to fix my car, I would give it to the dealership. (My wife inherited a 2003 Toyota Corolla CE from her mother. Since she got it, she totaled it twice. The first time she hit 2 deer. It cost $2,000 to fix it. It wasn't long before she hit another deer and totaled it. The first time, the insurance paid to fix it or at least part of it. The second was out of our pocket. My dogs won't get into my truck or her other cars, so we HAD to fix it. 165,000 and drives and rides like a dream.
